simon6ppc Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 most of my rabbit shooting is done now with a 22 fac air rifle,due to safety .just wondering which do you guys use most out of the two.as to me an fac air gun that shoots bang on can match a subsonic bullet.

click Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I have a 22lr and an .22 fac falcon and use them both regularly. In my eyes it depends on your permissions, some of mine are small holdings with 1-5 acre fields with plenty of trees so the fac 22 is nice to be able to pick off a Magpie, pigeon, crow or squizzer while out bunnie bashing. Where as I also have permissions with 10-20 acre fields and upwards where I use the 22lr! No doubt this has been mentioned before but obviously can't have a pop at the above mentioned with the lr!!!

Energy windages, ease of feeding not to mention cost and hassle. I just saw that silly 303 daystate today a poor balistic match for a std velocity .22 lr at only 1400 quid and about 15 shots a fill with specialsed ammo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can if you are shooting down to a backstop no it cant in my opinion. Energy windages, ease of feeding not to mention cost and hassle.
