Airguns Beating Rimfires

[jps2486]

The development of airguns and projectiles are to the point now that airguns are beating rimfires in many competitions. The Karma Red Panda, FX Impact, Evol and Brocock Sonoran are phenominal guns and will outshoot rimfires regularly. What's the point of buying a custom rimfire and spending $3-4000 and maybe, maybe it will shoot provided you test hundreds of dollars worth of ammo to find the right lot number.

I never had the opportunity to shoot a real precision air rifle until it was featured on a stage at a sniper match I attended. I have to admit, it was pretty fun to shoot and surprisingly accurate at 50 yards. I can see myself getting one soon. Can’t beat getting good practice in a small amount of space.

The Miles to Matches podcast did a good episode on air rifles (EP 150).

Air is hobbled by the rules in NRL22. Don't think you'll be seeing air dominance in that organization.

What types of competitions?

N50 for sure and inroads are being made in PRS.

It looks like 11 PRS airgun competitors total in the U.S. Not more than one in any single state.
