Ok 1700fps FAC but interesting. Anyone for a bacon butty, I for one am sick of bunny.

I think we all need a GAMO or move to the States.
Would you shoot a Fox with an Air-rifle???FAC or not????
Pig has got to have a harder head?

Apparently it's as much to do with the ammo - Performance Ballistic Alloy, as they call it - as it is about the basic MV of the rifle.
Checking out the site it seems he was using this springer

And this .177 ammo

I personally would not shoot a fox with an air rifle whatever the power/calibre. However I know somebody with a FAC Rapid whom has shot both fox and deer succesfully (but illegally).

Then I'd keep away from him if I were you mate

I do mate, unless I need some hunting gear as he owns the local shop.

That pig (boar?) was shot in the USA with an airgun and ammo that are only available over there so the legality of the 'hunt' was never in question. You can even hunt with crossbow, longbow or hand gun in most US states
Despite UK laws on hunting with bow & arrow it never stopped Robin Hood, did it

Not until the sheriff of Nottingham Hanged him
