I've moved this to 'Shooting and Trapping for the Pot'. It looks very smart.

he said it will do rabbits with a head shot, we have been plagued with wood pigeons and grey squirrels this year, so its time to deal with them, whatever is culled we will eat, he would like to go rabbiting, but hes not found any where local to go, the fields that backs on to us is full of them but the owner dosent like the idea of them being killed

Looks a nice gun, keep the range close for head shots, squirrels are yum.

I like to make squirrel au vin , which is delish, but the squirrels have got wind and all b*ggered off. If I drive up the road I see loads, I even hung a string of monkey nuts up to try and entice some to no avail.

BSA Rapid, deadly accurate little tools once you find the right pellet for them, more than capable of 40 yard bunnies if the nut behind the butt is capable. I find the cocking cycle a little odd, but I guess you get used to it.

Nice little gun, I need to get hold of some wheat/bait to attract the pigeons away from the seedlings and into my sight lines

John, depends which Lee-Enfield you're after. Good luck getting anything other than a .22 (number conditioned for vermin! Of course, if your force allows it the Any Other Lawful Quarry condition means you can shoot bunnies with a full bore. I can head shoot them at 200 yards with the .243!
