Tobias, please start a Discussion Forum for Air Rifles. You are correct, I think, to have it here. It is great when one group, compliments the other. I don't think it will hurt the Outdoor group to move it here and I think Charles, would be glad to have it here. I also think, that Miss Jan, would be proud that our groups are busting at the seams and spilling over into other groups.

  Air Rifles are fun for the whole family. My girls, learned to shoot, using them.

Tobias, I own a Wildcat Gamo in .177 cal. / with scope. It's a brake barrel type gun. I love it, it is deadly accurate and well made. I was able to get the gun from Cabella's as a refurbished item. The price was around $100. Gamo sells a lot of different models, I have no idea which one is the better rifle. I do know, the accuracy depends on the type pellet you shoot in it. Some guns shoot one pellet better than others. In my gun, the Gamo pellet called "Match" is the only one that is that accurate. Gamo makes several type pellets and other companies do to. Trail and error is the only way I know to find out, what your gun shoots best.

Tobias, i would need an FOID card for my Ruger.  It is 1,000 fps.  Of course I would need an FOID card anyway for all my other guns.  And in fact I did have an FOID when I lived in Kankakee.

So far as I know Gamo is a good one.

That said I'm looking for one.  I've heard good things about Gamo.  Is it just talk or are they pretty good?

It is even illegal to own a air rifle that is over 650 FPS in Chicago without having  FOID card.  And under 650 FPS it is still suppose to be registered with the Police Department. (including a Red Ryder BB gun which is right at 350 FPS and only BBs)

I have  a Ruger Air Hawk air rifle.  It is a break barrel type.  I have killed four squirrels with it.

Crazy fun day of air rifle shooting this fine fall Missouri day!  I have never tried this before, but you talk about addicting!!  A guy from our range has built a air rifle field target course around his property.  Had to be around 60 to 70 targets to shoot at from all different angles and postions. My gun is a weihrauch 97K 177cal springer gun, that is just perfect for this sport.  I primarly use it to practice my off hand shooting in the off season.  The amount of work he has put in my pictures don't do justice.  There where snakes that you had to just hit a couple inches of thier head, to get the points.  To Gophers you had to thread it threw the eye!  From 10 yards out to about 45, always has brush and limbs and leaves to deal with!

Me shooting up a hill at a rat sized target about 25 yards up on  that bluff!

 

Next is the group of guys I was shooting with!  The target is in the upper right hand corner in that dark spot up under that bluff, I believe this one was a Gofer at about 30 yards.  The kill spot to make it go down is about the size of a quarter on most of the animals.

 

next is a metal snake laying on the backside of the log, his head is on a hinge and is about the size of a mans thumb!  Very tough shot!  About 18 yards or so.

Yes Steve, I know where it is.  I had an uncle that lived in Herculaneum.

The EPA has probably done as much or more than anything else to drive industry out of this country.
