Any thoughts on air guns

[Cameramonkey]

Living in the city limits I've had to learn to defend my vegetable garden with a Gamo Shadow rifle with scope, and a wrist rocket. The Gamo is a break barrel 1000 FPS and has seen a lot of action for 10 years. Still going strong. I've taken down many rabbits, groundhogs and raccoons with her. The newer models are even better. Highly recommended.

Hopefully that city isnt Indy... because apparently ANY projectile even if powered by springs or compressed air is as illegal as a firearm to discharge.

I have been waiting over a year just to get on the waiting list for a build! I want the .458 not only because of the raw power but because I can cast for it as well since I already do for the .458 socom.

if/when you get it, be sure to let us know all about it.

MANY Muni codes in Indiana are written this way.

Guess I'll stick with scarecrows and traps until I find out about the regs in my small town. An off grid mini farm is sounding better all the time.

Also check out Daystate air rifles. Like Quackenbush they do some larger bore air rifles.

WE shoot pellet in the backyard all the time. Proper back stop and safety. Neighbors do not care as we have kept the Varmint population in check for a long time. They no longer loose lawn furniture to tree rats, veggies to ground dwellers etc.....

There are 2 possums that are not long for this world running through the yard lately. Saw them both last night but pellet rifle in the house. They were gone when I ran in to get it.
Ours is a Gamo 1000 FPS .177 and it is sufficient for most anything.

Damn thats crazy. a 3000FPS .357 air rifle? geez!

I almost want to buy one "just because".

It also doesnt hurt that I work for a company that could refill the tanks... FOR FREE!

Up to 800 fps but it is powered by 3,000 psi air. You just got carried away a little.

so? What you don't realize is my company refills fire dept breathing air tanks. 3k psi is no big deal. Stop assuming. .

What you don't realize is that your post said it is a 3000 feet per second (fps) air rifle.

I have a benjamin sheridan air rifle thats .177 caliber and it does just fine for me on squirrels and rabbits although a headshot is needed to dispatch the game quickly.

I think it's a good idea. You can get a decent rifle, 10,000 rounds (pellets), and a few extra seals for <$300. To top it off a lot of them are fairly quiet.
