Craig, if you bunged in a dozen or so extremely overt 'product placements' you'd just have composed a classic AG/AGW article. Welcome to the 'Pro Shooters'
fair enough craig i was rong about the gut shots i just got tht impression soz. also personally a couple of seconds say 3 is enough for a head shot or miss on a rat 95% of the time. like the long post ( got a computer full of special k now )

If can afford to use .410 and 12b carts on rats you might want to consider this option:Originally Posted by RichardH

No matter how I read the HO guide Chris I just cant find a glimmer of hopeOriginally Posted by Chris St. MH
A man can always use more alcohol, tobacco and firearms.
2-3 years ago on this site someone modded a crossman rat catcher to do close to uk limit which was shooting large lead balls (.308 i think).
That seemed to me the perfect rifle for ratting, the trajectory sucked though but it must of hit like a bitch.
Does anyone have a link or some pics of it?

When I fetched up in Orkney I asked Firearms Licensing if they'd grant an FAC for a 64 pounder rifled muzzle loader for re-enactment (there are a few scattered around the islands - one of them mouldering away in a farmyard). They said fine. When I asked about security Norman replied that I might want to throw a tarp over it to keep the rain off.

That was also mine (it was .32)
Here it is in "export" trim - Look at the size of those pellets
And dropped into a ratcatcher stock
Fantastic fun out to about 15 yards didnt matter which part of the rat you hit at all.

I have permission for about a mile of beach with everything from clean white sand to, gravel, to huge rocks and with huge piles of (very smelly) rotting kelp. It's heaving with rats. I'm told works very well, although I only tried it for the first time a couple of nights ago.

You're now going to tell me these things are staggeringly expensive. How do you go about getting one?Originally Posted by RichardH

The .32 isnt listed but I'm sure he'd make another one.
Theres also a .380 smoothbore which takes the Crosman 1100 trapmaster shells or .380 round ball
Similarly mine now lives with Pat, he might be persuaded to part with it

A 'resounding thwack' perhaps?Originally Posted by RichardH
I have a 12 bore double but, cost aside, I just don't find it fun on rats. Being an RSPB member, I only use it for walked up rabbits these days - that's fun.
