Trussman Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 I have seen pics of a .308 calibre air rifle. They have a small following in the states and are used for hunting by those enthusiasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
night owl Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 hello ian yes it is true you can get .50 air guns well if you want to call them that you only they are normally pcp guns you only get 2 shoots before you have to re fill gun so you would have to carry around a 12 litre bottle with you if you want more then 2 shots for more info you would be better speaking to people in the usa there are some frendly people on this site that would be able to help you out www.gunandgame.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonno243 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I am sure I recall reading something about these a couple of years ago, in fact I think perhaps Daystate made one on a special order? However, like night owl points out, you need a hell of a lot of air to push a .50cal ball to even 12ft/lbs which places serious limitations on shot capacity!
