What is the best spring rifle for ratting?

[Gamocfx]

I will put a Woodfield guns trigger on it (£25) and maybe shorten the barrel a tad so that I can fit an air stripper. I will be investing money in it that some would argue is a waste but I won't be selling it so its money well spent as far as I am concerned.....now to find a way of crowning a barrel....

now to find a way of crowning a barrel....

Not sure if I'm talking complete warlocks but I seem to remember someone saying they lapped the end of their barrel with grinding paste and a suitable size ball bearing? I suppose the bearing must have been fixed to something. Only a thought.

I suppose folks are using open sights for close ratting? If not what low mag scope would be good at a reasonable price?

Hi xbow, GGGR on here I think uses wet and dry and a marble and his guns shoot fine. I have bought a couple of decent scopes 2-6x32 from fleabay for around 30 pounds and they are great for my level of plinking, there is no need to go mad with a scope when it is going on a Meteor or other cheaper springer. I still manage to get good groups at 25 yards.
