( unless I can get someone to fix my leaking .25 HF Spitfire !!)

funny how I converted as a teenager to .177 from .22 in 1977 ( Eddie Barber (RIP) , Alan Walker from MAG ( RIP) and Bob Beeman (RIP)

Looking for a short range Rat gun - max 15 yards - My Mk1 HW 50 177 standard untouched since new is only about 6 ft lbs .
They'll generally do a good 8ft.lbs in .22, more than enough for Ratty at short range. And mine love the RWS Hobby, which also happen to be my favourite ratting pellet.

Might it not also be worth giving that lovely old 50 a service?
