Hi,
Anyone have any experience with large caliber Hatsan
break-barrels? I live on a 4-acre life
sentence block at the very end of a shingle road, surrounded by farmland. We had seen and heard a few possums so my
son-in-law (I live in a tiny home on the same property as my daughter,
son-in-law & grandson) got himself an air rifle and has managed to get two
so far. As I have more spare time and
the garden was showing signs the possum issue was getting worse, a few weeks
back I bought a 2nd hand .22 Gamo on Trade Me. I also picked up a cheap trailcam on Temu that arrived this
week. I set this up in the chook run
next to the feeder. This has been in
place for three nights, and now I know why the chooks have been going through
the food so quickly! The camera is showing multiple possums helping themselves
to a feed throughout the night. While I
could simply lock the feeder at night, the little buggers have also been
attacking the veggie garden and the roses. While I did have a FAL, I let it lapse in my mid 20s when
the law changed. Rather than go through
the hassle of renewing my FAL it has been suggested that I would be better off
with a 30 cal air gun to deal to them.
Also have a few wild turkeys, magpies and hares that could do with
culling as well. Looking online, it looks like the only .30 air guns that don’t
require a FAL are the Hatsan Model 130S QE and Model 135QE (basically the same gun
with different stocks) These seem very well priced but not a brand I have ever
heard of. Anyone know if these are any
good for pest control within 30 meters max and probably often up in the trees? THANKS -Ec |

Hatsan .30 is posted under reviews. Great airgun but very heavy and difficult to use at every level.
