I am thinking about buying a "Crosman King Ratcatcher 'Total Pest Control'" for some vermin control it seems to be a general upgrade from the standard "Rat Catcher" (listed above it) except for one part...

The standard rat catcher has a "Crosman Class 111A Laser" which is the red dot laser targeting system I think (£54.99 ) where as the King Rat Catcher has a Hawke Tactical Laser Sight (£29.95).

Does anyone know what the difference is between the sights and also why the upgraded one would be cheaper ??

Any help in general on the subject would also be appreciated.

i think the tactical laser doesn't actually project a laser on the target itself, that way it doesn't alert the pest to your presence

Which is why it would be cheaper.

Wish i could find a silencer for my gun here

Hmm I thought as much...do you know how its targeting system would work then ?

I believe it has a glowing dot in the sight that doesn't actually project. It looks to be battery powered, but the pic isnt' too clear

For the scope and all, it's going to take a couple hours to get it all sighted in. By that time, every rat within 2 blocks will have an idea as to what's going on so you'll probably never see them unless the gun is too far away to pop them off

(that always happens to me when stalking bushy tailed tree rats)

yeah that's basically a reddot sight rather than a laser sight I've got one for my paintball gun it just puts a red dot on your sight so that it doesn't project on the target they are pretty much worhtless. I prefer a green laser for night games swith a decent night vision scope that works way better.

Awesome... unless it's Robin Hood... in tights..

So I guess thats why its fitted with the Tracer Atom Gun Lamp then ?

T-Bird · 06-27-2005, 08:13 PM

yeah that lamp seems to be a low reflection lamp they use those because they are less likely to freak out the animals ( I may be wrong it could be a normal mini-spot light)

A crossbow might be a better idea? I'd imagine it is easier to learn to use and shoot accurately...

What about a cat, Jabba?

Get an exterminator. Think about all the guts and parts you'd have to pick up

I never figured you for a softie.

A very important thing about an airgun is that it has a rifled barrel and double stage trigger. Also, choose your ammo carefully. You wouldn't believe how big of a difference the quality of the ammo makes.
