nothing can beat the satisfaction of a well placed shot when your shooting a .22 springer!

 

its about the hardest rifle you could ever get for shooting thigs with.

Hi,

 

I have a .22 Bsa Lightning and a AA S410k .22 so I don't know what to vote because I use both. :beer:

 

FM :lol:

Ditto

 

I use a .22 springer and .22 PCP, and .22 Co2 for hunting :rolleyes:

you like .22 then :o :D

??? Yes. But I wont be biased, I have never gone hunting with a .177 before, but I prefer the nock down power of .22, rather then the flat flying .177.. I have just been putting the .22 PCP Gunpower Stealth to the test today, turned out 2 very large rabbits, both dropped instantly to the first shot, and 3 squirrels. A good day.. A good gun!

As an occasional air gun hunter .177 springer, no faffing about with bottles and pumps, no lobbing a .22 pellet in an arc ( cos I'm cr&p with that hold over, under m'larky) and with iron sights!! 20 to 40 yards magpies and bunnies hate it. Anything further gets a dose of HMR ( on the ground of course!)

I have 4 rifles. 3 are pcp.. and are quiet, virtually recoiless. and you can operate them in stealth easily.

 

the spring.... well its great.. easy to upgrade.... but you have the hassle of a break barrel, side lever etc....

 

anyway 22 all the way unless i go back home. and then i will get a big old fashion 45....... magnum sillys.

Hi, I just got a .22 PCP recently, shoots very nicely and consistently....got a Brocock Enigma Deluxe :-). I still would't get rid of my old BSA .177 meteor tho, so get the best of both worlds! I would say that with PCPs I prefer the fact they are quieter and have less recoil...but there is a novelty with using a springer... :lol:
