Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters air guns

Lets hear the opinions.....you are in want of a new air gun.....but no CO2 cartridges and no PCP guns.....what's your choice?
Oh.yea.....price under $300

Apparently you are looking for a toy, any springer or nitro piston will work

There is, or was another alternative, single-pump pneumatics, but it’s been a while since I looked. Some were pretty accurate as I recall. For pest power, there are the multi-pumps like Sheridan and Benjamin. Not sure what they offer now either. I have a magnum springer, which is a lifetime purchase, as long as I can muster up the 47 pounds it takes to cock it anyway. Springers require scopes that are specially constructed for their funky recoil, in case you didn’t know, so you can’t just toss on a spare from your stash; it will die.

Vapo, if you are wanting to use a scope, go for an underlever rather than a break barrel.

I think my Hatsam .30 break barrel fits your needs pretty well.

Air rifles have come a long way since I got my old Sheridan Silver Streak, but I for one have always liked the option of variable pump up power. One pump to keep the seals intact, two pumps for a close up mouse load, three pumps to shoot down the basement and up from there for pellet gun range varmints. I’ve got a .22, .22 magnum, .221, .25-20, up to magnums for anything else.
