That's quite far for an air rifle without it needing a firearms licence dude, AFAIK.
All of the ones above will have little to tell them apart as far as accuracy goes, and all, at the same legal limit, will be sending the same pellet down with the same energy.
Big debate this, but .177 is the way to go, simply because the pellet will fly flatter - you don't have to be so fussy with the rangefinding. Loads of people say it will kill just the same too.
Also what is different about the rifle in the last pic to what you already have, i.e; better model or do you just fancy something different?
Mostly price lol.
It uses a computer to control the air fired, gives readings on how much left, you can set different power levels etc. You get more shots for the same amount of air in a mechaical rifle. Also, it's consistent - a mechanical one will be firing at less power as the air starts to drop off.
Oh, and then there are the looks of the thing - lush.
Rob, we mostly shoot in the garden at paper targets. It forces you to relax after a busy day - you have to be calm to get good shots. It's ideal for once boy is in bed and we both enjoy it.
Been a bit of a giggle when we've had parties here too - loads of people have never done it, so like the chance to. As long as I'm not to pissed to be sensible. Or shoot better than the others lol.
