I hate rats. I would have shot the little bugger multiple times just to get the message across to all of his local buddies. :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

I'd want to do it with a 223 loaded with Barnes varmint grenade

You would have to search for the bits

I hate rats too

I already have an air rifle but I guess any excuse will do for me to buy another gun. I'll have to hide my existing air rifle from my wife and tell that I need a new air rifle. ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

I always thought that rats were the reason God made 30 round detactable box magazines as well as to facilitate reloads. 8-) 8-) 8-)

ive had a number of cf rifles over the years.. which i enjoy shooting. but i still like shoot rats at the top of my garden with the air rifle. something satisfying about popping rats around bird and chicken feeder. :grin:

Especially when they do their little "backflip" trick when you nail 'em with a head shot! :kill: :)
