allthough the rifle is of a very high power..........a licence is not required as it does not exceed 12lb psf......which it has a accuracy of a kill at 50 yards.... the rifle is air filled @ 3000psi/ 200lb bar and can fire 40 shots before a refill is required.
i have ordered a divers oxegen tank and adapter to refill on the move
as long as permission is given by the land ower/ property owner, a air rifle can be used to kill vermon, pigeons, rabbits and pheaseants but the latter can only be killed in season, as i have been told.

You should go for FAC and get it up to 24-25ft/lb. Then 50 yards is fine
Pheasents and airguns don't mix very well, they much prefer to be blasted out the sky with a 12bore, so they tell me

Sorry! Yeah FAC is the license. You can get it 2 ways. Join a gun club and do 6 months probation, or obtain permission to shoot over FAC rated land (which I have plenty off). Once you get that it's just a case of sending off the forms and then you get interviewed.
It's very simular to the process of getting a shotgun license, which Cornelius has just done.
Once you have an FAC you can then up the power of your airgun, or apply for a rimfire / centrefire rifle and all sorts of other boys toys
Here's a good site full of FAQ's...

thought u needed a pest controler licence to do that sort of thing ??
i know you can do what you like within the boundrys of your own land( within reason)
but you always got to think of the over shoot !! if in small areas

Well I have a pest control license anyway, but you don't need one if you have the land owners permission to shoot over that land.
