    Did anyone hear of the pellet gun that you can shoot a rat from 100 meters and it is sapposed to have a deadly sight on it?


    Does anyone know what it's called?

    Looking awhile on the net cant find them..

    Thanks

    Sounds like a right yoke altogether, it'd be a fair man to pull off a 100m shot on a rat with a 22lr, nevermind a pellet gun!

    Your talking about an airrifle and any that can shoot at that distance are serious things and you'll pay big money for them. And those deadly sight things are scopes yeah those yokes those sniper guys use. Deadly things all together :rolleyes:

    If your being serious it will require a licence from the guards the same as any other firearm

    Dont know if it 100 meters but it's sapposed to have a very good sight its a hand gun I think..

    Could have been an english site air rifles under a certain power are availalbe over the counter but nothing that will shoot anywhere near 100 meters

    What you probably saw was a crossman rat catcher

    Heres a website where you can buy them but good luck getting it shipped to ireland. Fullbore rifles can also be bought online and shipped right to your door only if you live in america though!

    Range estimated 400 metres accurate range estimated 25 metres . Pellets are not included with the rifle.

    Keep dreaming

    :D Crossman make a rifle called the rabbitstopper (or the 2260 to be exact )
    which you may be referring to. Its a CO2 powered gun and has a hunting range of about 10 meters. Like all CO2 guns it will put out about 10ft/lbs of energy depending on the ambient temperature.
    A good spring powered air rifle will do much better than that , the choice is yours.
