Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Air Guns Air rifle for practice

I got into air rifles a couple years ago for the same reason.

Be careful it's a deep rabbit hole.

Now I've got three break-barrels, and two PCPs.

The thing about the break-barrels is that shooting them accurately is quite a bit different than shooting a regular rifle accurately. It takes some time getting to know how and where it like to be held, and what pellets shoot well in it. Also it can be hard on scopes.

A PCP has a longer logistics train behind it, requiring repressurizing. But they are quite accurate, and easy on scopes. They shoot more or less like a regular rifle.

I have a Hatsan 125 Sniper Vortex 22cal that shoots pretty good. It was around $285 when I bought it. makes 830 fps with 18.3gr pellets,





This is an Air Venturi Avenger, 22 cal. The wood stock version is around $425, plastic stock around $350. It has an adjustable regulator so you can tune it to the power you desire. I use a Hill MK5 hand pump to refill it. When the wind is down, it will easily hold 1" at 50 yards. I added the supressor aftermarket from DonnyFL.
