    The neighbour is a big fellow and even in his advancing years would be a handful, I expect that after the miss he will heave the Osprey at the rat

    I would like to report that today at 13.05 Roland ceased to exist. Dispatched cleanly by a BSA Meteor in .22 calibre by my good self. I take no pleasure in this ...he was a worthy adversary etc etc

    To be honest pure luck in having a rifle with me in the garden, also a bit shocked with how hard the impact slap was-I bet it bloody hurt if he felt anything at all. I just hope thats him now gone!

    Great result!! Don't forget to drive a stake through his heart before he is buried with full rodent honours.
    Don't want him coming back

    Thanks for the kind words Chaps but to be honest he sort of did an acrobatic flip backwards towards me. A woman like scream could be heard but I am not sure if that was me as I was busy moving backwards myself. A mere Meteor - a MK2 packs a wallop at about 8 metres. Shot him in the back and I actually thought of the chap who shot Billy the Kid....

    I have seen enough horror films to make sure there is a big flag over his burial place though given the size of the blood splatter the little rodent wont be coming back any time soon.
