Re: Umarex 850

Thanks for all the help Rayg. Do you think it will handle hares? Or do you think I should bite the bullet and go PCP?
Cheers,

Re: Umarex 850

I have found that hares are a hard animal to put down, if not hit in the head.

I am a complete novice in regards to air rifles so thanks for the help.

Do you think it would be better to look at the PCP?

Thanks,
Peter

Re: Umarex 850

So would I like to hear from some one who has a CO2 as i say, I have nothing to do with air rifles except for shooting sparrows in the back yard a fair few years ago. But a PCP would be ok but they are more expensive. I mainly chase pigeons, hares and rabbits so it would need to be able to knock the...

Umarex 850

Hello,

Does any one know about the Umarex 850? Would it be good for pest control work? I know nothing about air rifles at all! It costs $999 all set up with a scope and bipod from QGE.

So any help would be appreciated.

cheers,
Peter

Pete What use is that course, for me it isn't a skill or knowledge problem, In Victoria, your really need to be a Pro Shooter to get a suppressor, even then it isn't easy. But just the Pro Shooter licence is an issue, it isn't s skill or training problem, the fact is that you need to be able to sho...

Re: Supressors... worth the effort?

Well the official line is that none of us can ever have a Sound Suppressor. This is what I did in an attempt to get one. 1. Written application to the Attorney Generals dept, reasons, primary producer, stock losses etc etc. That failed. 2. Registered a Business name and obtained an ABN. Grabbed thi...
