ryantidgwell Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 that .177 is in a diff leage ! for accuracy just measured that shot 59 yards on google earth! cracking shot m8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 There's a lot to be said for the .177 as opposed to the .22 in air rifles regarding accuracy just as there is so much to be said in favour of the .17HMR as opposed to the .22LR in rimfires! Many people think that the smaller round is less effective but the energy transfer can be devestating and the accuracy can be much better due to the flatter trajectory! I bet I get shot to pieces now for making that statement, but what the heck, I'll say what I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shug Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 (edited) LOL @ frenchi, you go for it m8. I used .22 air rifles for years and thought the 177 wasnt up to much till i saw my m8's Original 50 take a woodie out the top of a high tree that us with the 22's wouldnt even think about. I have never used a .22 for over 30 years and would have to think never would again.imho BUT its the same old story whats better .22 v 177 or in frenchies case 22lr v 17hmr. Before everybody jumps in, its only what you'r comfortable and happy with that matters. Edited May 25, 2010 by shug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
