    BSA Ultra is pretty good - small, light, accurate and, can be very discrete when held at your side in 1 hand.

    All of the above.

    Ah!

    I thought these were only single shot, at least the one I tried at the club was.

    Worth a look...

    The Ultra se can come single or multi shot.
    The BSA website state that they're 82cm long and, will give 50 shots in .22 or, 40 in .177.

    But, if you're just after a rifle for this specific task and, it's never going to be your main interest, I'd seriously consider the AA S410 carbine in .177.

    92cm long and, from the .177, 60 shots.

    It's a tried and tested rifle - inoffensive to look at and, if you chose to, fairly easy to sell on.

    Good luck with your choice

    All of the above.

    Firearms are tools as far I am concerned, certainly until you get into bespoke loveliness costing tens of thousands.

    So from my perspective if the right tool for the job is an air rifle, it is the right tool for the job.

    This is all said without prejeduice to my God given right to make jokes about my air rifle shooting friends.

    For the compact size & shot count I don't think the FX Verminator can be beaten, I'd go for a mk1 which comes in a neat attache` case so can be carried discretely.
    yes it's black but could be vinyl wrapped if required (as could any other gun).

    I need it short when ready to go, rather than for transport.

    How long is that FX assembled?

    Does Sir also require a frock?
    A man can always use more alcohol, tobacco and firearms.

    Both mk1 & 2 are 25.2" according to the book, +add on 6" for a mod which they need, any short barrel is going to "bark" a bit.

    In that respect a bullpup would be quieter due to the longer barrel.

    To avoid frightening people "on site" how about a day-glo vest with "pest control" written on it ?
    No one ever questions a man in a day-glo vest

    ^^^^^^^^^^
    This would be my choice, I've never owned one but worked on one a while back and I was very impressed.

    In a battle of wits I refuse to engage with an unarmed person.
    To one shot one kill, you need to seek the S. Kill only comes from Skill
