manthing Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Some of them A'merkins go even further .50 cal used on wild boar .58 Beowolf And some time ago I'm sure there was an a'merkan with a .635 that was hand pumped and the dumpin had a total exhaust blow out valve on it....very careful counting while pumping up..

loriusgarrulus Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 When you get to those levels with an air rifle is it any advantage of a full rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) Longer rear legs than front, longer ears, different running gait, human looking eyes, no white tail - Dunno why Hares are called Rabbits in some countries?

Sha Bu Le Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 That vid was more a lengthy ad for the gun than a serious shooting vid. The charging meter said 3 shots, if that is 3 shots per fill then he would spend more time charging it than shooting it. Interesting the farmer said he uses a 0.22 rimmy now that makes more sense. Each to their own I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
