We never shoot fox with airguns. Many police authorities consider HMR as a minimum for fox, it's what I use.Originally Posted by Racing
We regularly shoot rats and rabbits with sub12 airguns, and consider it humane, but it takes skill and self-control. A well placed shot from a sub12 airgun will kill cleanly, generally UK hunters will limit their ranges to around 35m max to ensure it. We're very aware that the continued legality of hunting with airguns depends on us, so in a sense we are self-regulating. If we abuse it, we'll lose it.
I've thought about getting FAC airgun at around 40fpe for rats, but the rimfire is more versatile and less hassle.
