This time of year I always get a hankering for a FAC Air Rifle. All the nest building corvids, just out of effective range of my legal-limit springer, drive me to distraction. I would probably surrender my 17 HMR in exchange for a Theoben Eliminator, so before I do I just wanted to survey The Stalking Directory membership on their opinions of FAC air for corvids and rabbits out to 60 yards or so. I've heard opinions ranging from "they're pointless, stick to the 22lr" through to "they're indispensable, but very few realise it!"
