I love my airguns. great around my suburban neighborhood.
My favorite is my airforce condor. 22 cal. got it dialed in modded up and it is quiet as a brad gun and accurate out to 75 yds or more. I mean I can put 8 out of 10 in a quarter shooting off a bench at 50+ yds.
Its awesome for small game up to coon sized critters.
Would love to play with some of the larger cal airguns.
Airguns are tons of fun.
Nice haul.

You right Eddie, but I likr to keep the skin and legs/wings too ;D
A couple of Americans are making Big bore airguns, high quality more custom made style, Koreans have being making and hunting big bore for generations
the bige bore airguns are PCP (precharged Pneumatics) you can fill with a scuba tank or a hand pump, you get multiple shots, my 9mm lever action rifle get 15 high power shoots, perfect to go hunting big birds, my .45 cal gets 4 full power and a few nice back ups, 9mm pistol 3 full power.
the .45 is good for pigs up to 50 yards, not to shabby for a BB gun he ? ;D ;D
Koreans make some awsome .25 cal repeters lever action
common calibers are .308 .32 .9mm (.36) .45 .50
LOL keenan, there's allways a trade off

I'm with you 100% I quit rifle hunting 8 years ago.[selfbows 20 years]And have or had 3,177cals a 22 and even a 25This is how I started my oldest son.This is what got me started and seeing deer,hogs,rams killed american air gunner on TV for the last year.And I've never killed a deer with and air gun and I have a 9 year old son and this will be a good way for him to start deer hunting.Last week I wrote a post about it on WVSPORTSMEN sence then I had a guy email me and I went a shoot his 50 cal Queckmen and I'M TOTALLY SOLD.
185 gr round ball toped off at 3000 pis Touched holes at 30,1"groups at 50 and 5 shot group 1 1/2"s at 75 yards with a 2 1/2 inch flyer.This was as long as his range was.But said he shot it at 150 4 inch groups and he said he sucked.Filled it with a suba tank.But said he had pumps to carry in his pack deer hunting.He's killed 3 doe's longest 60 yards.ALL 3 WERE SHOT THROUGH THE SHOLDER AND WHEN STRAIGHT DOWN.These 3 were shot with a different gun[50cal] that wasn't as good he said.Very nice and well built gun 3 x 9 from a distance it looked like a high cal rifle.I've even see some vido's of 500 yard guns.I'm like you I'm getting a 45 cal.By next fall to deer hunt with.
NOMADIC PIRATE:
Yeah DAQ's are great guns, he makes a mean .457, It's just hard to get on his list and are expensive, I was real lucky to score a 9mm handgun used, shootin 116gr hollopoints will be great for close range headshots , ho yeah it's scoped ;)
NOMADIC PIRATE:
And today i got a couple more with my .22, the .22 is so powerfull that is almost an overkill, the chick wasn't supposed to die, but the pellet past thru the Dove and killed the young one behind, I saw the Dove take off in the scope and all of a sudden in her place there was a chick kicking, I was , What the ... ??? ?
