Air Rifles

[that_impulse_guy]

I have two pcp's and springer...only recently got back into the hobby after pcp's became a thing and I was interested.

very clinical, almost boringly accurate. I feel it takes a bit of the fun away..can I put 5 pellets through this bell target? yes...everytime. Oh great, now wheres the challenge, where the fun when it actually happens that one time out of 50? which is why I bought a springer too. I have no bear in this fight, I love the technology and if I was ratting I'd stick a pard on the pcp and be golden. But for afternoon fun in the garden it feels like taking a guided missile to a food fight.

i cant stand and shoot, no arm strength:-(

gamo gx40 .177 - "made by bsa barrels etc"..its very, very accurate.
not regulated mind you, but Lane do a regulator if needed

diana stormrider gen2 clone .177 - lightest and smallest little dinky thing, so tiny and pretty. not much shot count, but how many rats do you actually have? also, cheap.

and then a Diana post-war break barrel in .22 (forgot model number...has a safeth on rhs) - had one as a kid, now bought another, restoring it.

I've got a little Gamo pistol I've had since I was in my teens and a .22 rifle with a scope that I don't know the make
of, my old man gave it to me with a shitload of ammo and a big bag of compressed air cylinders.

I have a Gamo Stalker Barricade with a fancy telescopic sight I got off recman a good few years ago for rat duties. It's OK, but nothing special and gets so little use I don't see the point of upgrading to anything fancy.

I actually prefer my crossbows. They are fun and the big ones are much more powerful. I do wonder how they have escaped legislation when they are such a lethal weapon in comparison to a standard air rifle.

I have a 65lb draw flatbow. it's a real nail-knocker. Has a tendancy to wreck arrows becaue of overpenetration. Heavier arrows is one good solution though. Carbon fibre ones zip right through a standard archery butt but the cheap and heavy fibreglass ones just knock it off the stand.
