Best FAC Air_Rifle.


Kye

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,..

 

So, in the near future, hopefully i will be able to have enough dollars floating around that i can splurge out on a nice FAC rifle...im not wanting a springer, maybe summat more the style of a Rapid 7?...would prefer a synthetic stock, and it would HAVE to be left handed, and have a silencer....also prefer a multi shot capability.

 

Not to fussed on calibre...but it will mostly be used on squirrels, rabbits, crows, doves...BUT...there is always the possiblity that i will have to shoot larger game, skunks, wild cats, coyotes, raccoons etc.

 

Most game will be taken out at around 50-70 yards, although alot of shooting on rabbits and squirrels at around the 40 yard mark....always be nice to use it on the praire dogs and ground squirrels when i go back west, and the shots on them are around 60-90 yards...

 

I will want to put a nice scope on it and everything, and it would be nice to be able to fill it up with a stirup-pump of some sort, or small divers bottle...a friend has a very nice air-rifle, but i dont like that you have to carry a big pump around with you, and you only get 30 odd shots with each charge...

 

I used to be REALY into my air-rifles, and do alot of work with them, but its been YEARS since ive been on the scene!...when i first moved to the states, i went bullet gun crazy, and was shooting .45 pistols, and 300 win-mags for ages...lol...but now i miss the stealthy-ninja-ish approach to air-rifle work...any advice, and pics would be great...thanks lads.

Ok there kye hope your doing good on the other side of the pond,for smaller stuff ie coons and down over a rapid 7 should be spot on i like the carrer 707 persoanaly as they can go to around 90ftlb but you wont get a lot of shots from a fill. more from a rapid which can go up to sround 60/70ftlb (not sure on that now).

 

For anything bigger than a coon you will be looking at something bigger with more humf especialy at them distances you state,something like a .22 mugnum or a 22.250 should do the job cleaner than a air weapon.

You can also try the Airvolution Beast. Its a .20 cal PCP that spits out 23gr pellets at 1227fps. Shot count suffers though. But with a chrony you can bring it down to 1200fps with JSB 13.7gr pellets. That gives you around 35 shots on a fill.

 

Roger!
