Hi All,
I am a new member in this community. In the past, I have read posts here and understand that there are many people here who are very knowledgeable about guns.
I have a query. I have a farm house which is infested by large rats. I was thinking of buying an air rifle via which I can eliminate a few of those.
I do have an air pistol 0.22 calibre but that is not much of an help, i havent tried it on them though but i get a feeling that the pistol wont work.
Any of you here, could you please guide me on this? I am from New Delhi and would like to have the idea of the shops also.
thanks in advance for your kind help.
Regards
Bodhisattwa

Airpistol is not good for this work.
you can buy Ihp mod 35 .22 airrifle. I think it is better to do it.
I got a great sucess to use it to killing rats....
you can use any local made .22 long barrel airrifle . ballon forne ka banduk mat lena. Ow kisi kam ka nehi he.

Raju please be careful, frogs come under wildlife rules, this is a friendly warning. think before you use irresponsible language. Mod

ballon forne wala bonduk is small , length appox 2.5 meter and its pletes are small.
But others are over 3.5 meter long.
This is my .22 airrifle.
I use it for killing rats.
It is local made , 7 years old..

The pic is a bit out of focus...however got the idea...for my pistols, i am having these pellets only...
Just wondering, since it seems raju, you know quite a lot, i saw a video in Gamo website, that a Hog was shot down by an air gun with a single strike...is it possible?

i think you must use some pesticides in you farm to remove rats from farm land. Consult with some department for good farming so problem will be solved. Killing of rats is not cure. Thanx.
