    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    I have and have had quite a few air rifles and by far my favorite is the Beeman R7 /hw30. That gun is just fun to shoot no air tanks to deal with (constant visual inspection, hydro testing and dealing with d bag scuba shop employees ). And on top of that targets are easy to build for airguns I...

    Hunting & Fishing Who likes 17 cal centerfires?

    Hunting & Fishing Who likes 17 cal centerfires?

    Re: Who likes 17 cal centerfires? I ran a .17 Remington with a 1-9" twist and shot the woodchuck den 30gr gold bullets. I really loved that combo it killed a lot of game. With a bc of .271 and 3700 fps it bucked the wind, flat and no recoil.
