What should I buy?

 

It will be new, most likely in beech, and to be used for rabbits mainly.

 

Please tell me why.

hi roland 75, I have a .22 s410k and find it perfect for all vermin you can shoot with an

air rifle, after getting used to distance and wind I am spot on with it 99% of the time

and I won`t be bothering with .177, the heavier .22 must be better for the side winds

but Im sure the .177 will have other advantages as well.Which ever you get you will get

used to it and you won`t go far wrong with a s410-----good luck and enjoy---col :P

Have a look here. http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/ind...showtopic=36946 These were all done with a .177.

 

I think the pro's and cons are summed up in the 3rd picture. The top bunny in the 3rd piccy was taken at 55 yards, however, I did need the wind to stop blowing to achive it.

 

 

So thats with a sub 12ft/lb s410 in .177.

 

That is some fine shooting. From the pics I guess they dropped instantly.

 

I will be definately going .177, now just have to decide beech/walnut, silencer, and scope!

 

Cheers

Sub 12 yes, not a 410, its the X3 in my sig. They all dropped instantly. Curiously enough the 55 yarder did'nt even twitch. Dunno why that is, perhaps something to do with the energy it has accumilated over that distance?

 

Perhaps someone can answer that.

Mark M lol:

 

To date Ive bought houses, cars, and got married with less stress and consideration than choosing my new gun :lol:

 

I cant believe how many questions Ive thought of over spending £500 :yes:

Yes and when you have bought it there will be more things going through your head :lol: Like have i got the right gun! I wish I'd got my lightning in .177 after reading all this :lol:

Your not wrong Mark

 

I just wish there was a definitive guide to say you need this caliber, in this stock, in this length, with this silencer, and this scope!

 

I know what I want it for but the finer details are proving tricky :good:

 

Pete

 

.177, Walnut Stock, Carbine, Weihrauch Silencer and an MTC Viper 3-12x44

 

Thats what I would personally go for...... :good:
