Re: Air rifles....

I have two air rifles that I bought recently. One is a surprisingly accurate BB gun: the Daisy Avanti Champion 499. It claims to be the most accurate BB gun in the world. From my experience with it, I don't doubt the claim. I use it mostly for indoor target shooting. I have a pellet trap that works well on BBs.

My other rifle is a Gamo Whisper Silent Stalker. In my opinion, Gamo makes lower-end rifles, but they are okay, if accuracy is not a major concern. They are good for dispatching snakes and varmints.

For outdoor target shooting, I am looking at the Air Arms TX 200, a Beeman, or a Walther. I haven't yet decided, but rifles like them get kind of expensive. With so many good rifles available, it is a tough choice.

I don't have to decide quickly because I'm having so much fun with my Avanti Champion BB gun. The Champion is designed for accuracy at 5 meters (16.4 feet), although it is just as accurate at 20 and 25 feet. At 16 and 20 feet, I routinely group 5 or 10 shots within size of a dime. That's indoors, so there is no wind. But I'm amazed that a BB gun can be so consistent. Even at 30 feet, the BBs start to drop a little, but consistensy is still there.
