Hello and thank you for viewing my post, now please let me introduce myself. My name is Simon and I'm 45, married and have a wonderful young daughter. I have successfully run my own business for the past 10 years and I have been shooting for approx 8 yrs.
What I am offering is totally FREE of charge to you. So if you have a pest problem with rats, rabbits, pigeons, magpies, squirrels and any other vermin on the governments vermin list, i can probably help. I am more than happy to work around your home, smallholding or farm buildings, If you've seen one or two rats around your land its guaranteed there will be a lot more and poisons aren't always the safest option!!. I live in Greater Manchester and I'm happy to travel 30ish miles, i hold an insurance policy with the BASC which offers £2,000,000 public liability cover.
I shoot a modern air-rifle (not the old break barrel type) which has its own built in air tank along with a silencer which makes it almost whisper quiet. I have my own night vision equipment so with your permission I can hunt and observe rats when they are the most active, I do not use the old traditional methods of lamping nor do i use dogs, so once I identify the rats runs I can ambush them there. I will pick up anything that I shoot where possible and can either leave for you to see how successful I am or can just remove. I am very quiet, discreet and very respectful of the fact that i am on someone elses property/back garden and your land would be treated as i would my own.
So if you think I can be of help to you in the first instance reply to this or personally message me I will then give you my mobile.
I am more than happy to come to see you face to face to discuss any issues you may have, and will bring along my equipment for you to view.
Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you.
Regards
Simon

Hello and welcome :wave:
WOW night vision lens! :o Looked for OH as Xmas gift but sooooo expensive! He will have to do with higher vision scope even though cat is winning him 2:1 with regards to rat population destruction ;D
Good luck with your destruction. The more people who understand the accuracy and instant kill of a rifle the better.

Hello from Devon :wave: My Christmas present to myself (and a very serious 9 year old grandson) is to be a rifle just like yours!

What one did you go for any chance of some pics of the kit?

It's one hubby got from eBayfor me, a guy has made a few to see how they sold. It's a camera that fits over your sights with a small sat nav type screen to look at and an ultra violet light that clips on to.
It's brilliant and because the camera is over the sights the sight cross in on the screen so you can hold the gun however you like and line it up on the screen, amazing it is.
Will try and get a picture up.
