Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 nice guns, tiny. standard silencer is crap, so fit a HW or logun one, shot count is low 40 in .22 but if you have a bottle handy no big deal. Quote Link to post

ziggy1 0 Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 AIR ARMS S410 IN 177 CAL AIR ARMS FIELD PELLETS I would go for the air arms s410 or k. They are light, smooth to use feel like they are part of your body when hunting. Quote Link to post
Tyla 3,179 Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 IMO, whatever you are used to. I've used the same rifle for 8 years, Falcon FN19 .20. In that time I've bought,then sold again several others but when it came to the crunch they stayed in the cabinet and my old faithful came out! The only exception is for close range ferals when i want low power to avoid damage to buildings. Then i use a little Crosman Ratcatcher. Looks like your doing ok with what you've got! Good hunting!
