My Airgun "Quiver" .......very long thread & lots of pictures....& Videos
Dane:
I'm curious about why almost all of these weapons have scopes. I have always shunned scopes in favor of iron sights, except for starlight scopes.

Scopes allow you to aim smaller.

Cause They are Manny's Guns.....and that's the way He wanted them....... ;D..... :P..... ;)
When I am shooting high speed Metallic Projectiles at small targets....I would opt for a scoped Rifle.....over a wounded target any day......a Mynah Bird is a pretty small and hyper little Target to hit.....plus I am sure that living on a small Island in the Pacific.....people frown at bullets just flying around aimlessly untill they hit something or just run out of energy....JMO

totally agree that open sight are more soulfull, If I could hit a dime from 35 yards with open sight I surely would go that way, ...since I can't I take a scope ;D
airguns don't have exactly the greatest knock down power, pinpoint precision is more the name of the game ;D
...also if you look carefully, the majority of my guns don't even have open sights :D
O.K. next one up is open sights
....ho yeah, I doubt I could have had this 50 yards hit open sights :)
NOMADIC PIRATE:
Benjamin Super Streak .22 cal
This powerfull break barrel springer is just about at the top of the spectrum for magnum .22 spring powered airifles
It shoots the Discovery 14.3gr Hollowpoint in the mid 900s fps
This is a really phisically heavy rifle, cocking action is very light considering the power, it has a wicked recoil making it really hold sensitive, to get any kind of accuracy with this rifle the artillery hold is a must, otherwise you'll be spaying pellets everywhere, but if you do your part right the rifle is as accurate as needed.
the recoil/side to side twang is so mean that it killed the 1st scope, and the next 2 wouldn't keep zero, so I decided to go open sights ( not much of a choice there :D )
