Wrighty112 Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 I'm thinking about getting an air rifle for target an small vermin... What are the advantages of .22 over .177. Also can you give ne an idea of what to look out for in rifles, scopes, moderator, bi-pod etc too add to the accuracy an stealth. Not got alot to spend but any advice would be great. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers .22hits harder, retains its energy better, makes a bigger hole, does more damage and does not over penetrate on smaller quarry and thus waste energy.
