Do you guys hunt with PCP airguns or take them with you when you go outside?
What airgun do you have or what it's your favorite?
I'm planning on buying one to hunt rabbits and some birds.
--- 2541063
got me a co2 going to upgrade it with a 20" barrel and a stock to make it a little rifle with a scope.
--- 2541075
>>2540957 (OP)
Airgun hunting is max comfy. I hunt rabbits with a .177 FX Cyclone and JSB Monster 13.4gr.
--- 2541282
Why air guns ?
As a cucked European i have no idea.
Are there advantages to regular guns or is it about laws ?
--- 2541284
>>2541282
Air guns are not firearms in law, so you can get away with a lot more.
My air rifle has a suppression system built into it, it sounds like a cough when I fire it.
I use it to kill rabbits mostly.
--- 2541310
>>2541282
There is no advantage a PCP has over 22lr that isn't based on the fact that they are not legally firearms. The guns are more expensive and the cost of filling tanks or buying special compressor far outweigh the cost of a 22lr. You're looking at like $6-8 hundred initial investment plus running cost for entry level PCP. I'd love one but the cost just doesn't work out unless you live in some overly restrictive shithole. They do look very fun tho. I have a springer and a piston and that will likely be it for my air gunning unless the price comes down significantly and given the economies of scale I don't see that happening.

>Special compressor
Imagine being such a beta cuck that you don't own an air-compressor or pneumatic tools. 
>>2541284
This. You can buy an Airforce Texan that is basically a sniper rifle with zero firearm restrictions and you can even get fully auto PcP. It's a massive loophole in the liberal retardation referred to as "gun control"
--- 2541475
>>2541282
Air guns are much cheaper per-round and if you live within the city limits there are less legal penalties for firing them at things like Starlings, crows and rats. The PCP rifles can be suppressed so they're usually quieter and PcPs have are cheaper if you already have a compressor (like every real man should).

>>2541471
You can't pump these PCP guns with a normal air tool compressor dumbass. That's why ppl need to take it to a dive shop or have one of those high pressure expensive compressors that are like 500 bucks to fill. If they did work off your little craftsman compressor then of course they'd be more popular than they are.
--- 2541495
>>2541483
>or have one of those high pressure expensive compressors that are like 500 bucks to fill
>calls someone else a dumbass
A vertical compressor with good pressure is exactly what he's referring to, moron. Guys who are handy and who don't live in tiny efficiency pods in the middle of a concrete wasteland will nearly always have a vertical, high-pressure compressor. Your reference to a dive shop alone (an auto garage would do) is a dead giveaway of a west coast urbanoid with no life or practical skills.

--- 2541532
>>2541495
Those standard shop compressors are like a couple hundred psi at best. Not suitable for PCP filling. Now go look at the price of a compressor that meets the pressure requirement for PCP. Regardless you retards are proving my point in that even if the common shop compressor was usable how many fucking ppl have access to one such that it makes owning a PCP cheaper than a 22lr? Even if you buy entry level everything you could get a very nice rimfire for the price.
--- 2541549
>>2541532
>I'm poor
You can get a high pressure air compressor for like 300 USD. The hand pump is like 40 bucks. 
10,000 rounds of .22LR averages $700 USD
10,000 rounds of .177 pellets averages $150 USD

Basically I can buy a PcP and a high pressure air compressor for less than you'll pay in ammo and then I can charge Scuba and Paintball fags to fill up their shit and eventually the compressor will pay for itself.
--- 2541577
>>2541520
20 minutes of pumping for 20 shots. After that pellet have less power and are not really flying where you want them.

Btw. you should not pump it fast because pump can overheat and wont last long. 

Good PCP airgun costs like 800€. Then you can either buy pump for another 150-200€ or air bottle for 300-400€. Then you need to find someone who will fill it obviously.

So yeah, PCP will solve the recoil and noise of 400€ springer but replace it with other obligations.

>>2541549
Lol, lmao even. Your best defense is to call me poor while not being able to provide a single evidence that pcp has anything over 22lr, whether that be cost or performance. The only thing PCP has going for it is to be able to say legally it isn't a firearm, which I conceed is a valid concern for some people. But for anyone besides ppl from nations with cucked gun laws it's not worth it and represents paying drastically more for worse in every regard.
--- 2541653
>>2541612
I would prefer a spring/piston over pump. Only place pump makes sense is basement range with bullet trap for indoor fun.
--- 2541656
>>2541594
What counter do you have to his argument besides calling him poor? He has laid out the ridiculous relative cost of getting into even entry level (but still good) PCP. There is literally no benefit other than to avoid legality of dealing with actual firearms.
--- 2541668

multi pump is nice because you can pump once or many times, it's adjustable which I think it's better than spring
--- 2541671

I don't know what pcp is, but I used to like the idea of getting these pump-action compressed air rifles. They're cheaper than guns, and don't require any legal shenanigans. I've shot a few and they're strong enough to hunt birds

that is charged with these >>2541502 , you can shot an average of 25-30 shots per rifle depending on the pellet and rifle, sometimes those fuckers aren't so easy to charge if you are a sissy
>3) rifles that use scuba
pic related, multishots, haven't used those 


The calibers are .177 .22 .25 and .30 and 9mm
In my experience, I have used these 

>.177 you can kill birds and some rabbits if you hit them in the right place but also your rifle needs good fps
>.22
perfect for any bird and you can also kill rabbits, foxes, dogs, etc. I've know people that have killed boars and pigs but shooting under the ribs or with a headshot with a powerful rifle
>.25
birds are a mess after a shot them if you don't aim for the head. You kill rabits and other small animals no matter where you shoot. Perfect to hunt the same things that using .22 but have much more power and I personally like to use them when it rains or there are too much wind so the traectory isn't affected
>.30
massacre birds, to the rest of animals only aim for the head, a boar is no problem for this rifle 

never tried 9mm

The only thing the pump guns are good for is when you want to piss off your friend or scare the neighbor’s cat. Single pump is much better that 20 pumps.

I like that co2 Crosman 1077 though. Don’t know if they still make them. Not as powerful as the spring piston ones, but it feels like plinking with a cheap .22 short rifle and I took out a opossum with it once.

Weak.

Also it’s kind of gay listening to you guys arguing about this. Air rifles are fun because you can plink a squirrel in a suburban area without getting arrested, also you can convince your mom to get you a 1000fps gun when you’re 14 and tell her it’s just like a Red Ryder.
--- 2541804
>>2541790
Of course air rifles are hella fun. But once you get into PCP it just gets obscene level expensive, where as you can buy a Savage MK II for 300 bucks on a bad day at terrible price. I guess like that one faggot says the price to get into it initially is higher but at some point the pellet gun would end up being cheaper than a 22lr but it would take years to even reach the break even point.
--- 2541807
>>2541549
Shut the fuck up you are not going to start a side business pumping scuba and paintball you utter faggot. Just admit you would pay $500 for the gun and another $300 for the pump at the end of which you will not even come close to holding up to a $800 22lr. Not even a $400 one shooting good ammo. It'd take you years, likely decades to reach the break even point and have the PCP begin to be cheaper.
--- 2541809
Ok back on topic what's everybody hunting with? Anybody got experience with the Diana Storm models for shit like squirrel and rabbit?
--- 2541882
Also how are you faggots noticing your impact due to low temps or just general temp swings throughout the day?
--- 2541906
I've been shooting PCPs for about a year, bought my first PCP last march, since then I haven't stopped, I've gone shooting nearly every odd weekend since then. In the left it's my .22 cal Artemis Pr900 and in the right my .25 cal Effecto PX-5.

>>2541310
They DO have an advantage though, most PCP air rifles are dead nuts accurate, even the cheapest ones. There's a steep initial investment but after that you can shot for very cheap. 

>>2541502
Yeah but you get a hell of a workout with anything but the smallest reservoirs. My gun had a 275cc cylinder, and after trying to pump it twice and nearly popping a vein I resigned and bought a tank.

>>2541809
I have an Artemis PR900 (the same thing really), regulated model, shoots around 22-24 ft/lbs. Mine has been wonderful, very accurate (single ragged hole at 35m), shots decently whatever you put it thru, mine likes JSB 18gr the best, but shoots 15gr JSB and crossman domed decently too.
--- 2541965
>>2541804
I’m with you 50%. Depends on your locale. In Illinois, any air rifle >700fps velocity and >.177cal requires a FOID card, so you’re going through the exact same bullshit as buying a real .22 rifle.
--- 2541988
>>2541906
What advantage does the regulated version give you? How had does the velocity and accuracy drop off between the first and last shot before your air runs out. I saw some posts online that shows the muzzle velocity dropping like several hundred FPS between the earlier and final shots.

--- 2542248

>UK
>aktual rifle
I use the pellet rifle more than anything else because it's cheaper by far and I hunt a lot of invasive species like starlings, crows and rabbits. I also have something most Europeans don't: land and hunting access.
--- 2542265
>>2541988
Flatter shooting curve, which translates into better 'vertical' accuracy. As the pressure drops the velocity of the pellet decreases, giving you a lower POI. Some guns actually shoot faster with a lower pressure than max fill pressure (say, max fill pressure is 250 BAR, but the gun shoots the fastest at 200) because of less resistance of the hammer hitting the valve. 

A regulator "regulates" the air pressure into a lower level (usually 100-130 bar) so more, lower pressure air can be used for shooting. They maintain a more or less equal pressure along the shot string until the tank pressure reaches the regulator pressure.

Nowadays most newer airguns are regulated, it has become standard in the market. One of the few $500+ airguns that are still unregulated is the Benjamin Cayden, but it still achieves a somewhat consistent velocity thanks to other tricks.
--- 2542281
>>2542148
I'm trying to do the math here.

Using American prices and shops:

- FX Dreamline .25 with Walnut stock: $1280
- 78cu CF Tank: $390
- 1000 rounds of FX Hybrid Slugs: $128 ($16 each with 2 free from Pyramid Air) $0.128 per round.
Total: $1798

- CZ 427 Varmint: $650
- Silencerco Sparrow 22: $299
- 1000 rounds of Eley Subsonic HP: $199
Total: $1240

Fixed cost delta is $558
Recurring cost delta is $7.2 per 100 rounds.

If you shoot 200 rounds every weekend, you'd save in ammo with an air rifle $748,8 a year ($14.4 * 52), meaning in 10 months the air rifle would have been cheaper.

Sure, you can not buy a supressor for the rimfire, but the FX Dreamline comes with a supressor, which does have its advantages. You could shoot cheaper ammo with the 22lr, but so could you with the FX Dreamline, shooting pellets.
--- 2542285
>>2542248
In bong land it absolutely makes sense to get a PCP.
--- 2542292
>>2542281
In burgerand there is also multi month wait times to get a suppressor plus a $200 tax in addition to the cost of the supp. Also fun fact although air guns are not legally firearms on a federal level, in many cities and towns they are considered so and it is technically illegal to discharge them in town, though enforcement probably varies and that depends on who hears or notices in the first place.

The PcP savings will eclipse the .22lr in two to three years depending on how much you shoot. 200 rounds a weekend is 10,400 rounds a year. I've had my 22 for over 20 years and no contest the PcP cost in that time is exponentially less.

For mostly hunting would something like Diana Storm Rider or Beeman Chief 2 suffice? Or should I pony up some cash for a venturi avenger?

The .50 caliber version can reach 800 ft-lbs, which you can reasonably achieve with .357 magnum from a 6" revolver, and the later will have a flatter trajectory and may hold more rounds in the cylinder than you'd get consistent shots on a single fill with the Airforce Texan. Small bore airguns are cool for cheap shooting, but big bore airguns are absolutely a fucking meme and well beyond the point of diminishing returns.

Girardoni air rifle, yeah. Designed in 1779 by Bartolomeo Girardoni in the Holy Roman Empire. 19+1 capacity.

>ou're looking at like $6-8 hundred initial investment
fuck no, you can buy an used PCP for like 200$, if you catually inspect it you can get one that wasn't used at all for that money. And you can get a pump in aliexpress for 50$ that will be enough to fill any pcp up to 230 bar.
--- 2553032
am I supposed to use the rifle just on the green zone? I understand that I won't have to fill it until the red zone, but what happens if I shoot when the rifle is in the yellow zone?
can someone has a video on this or something I could read?
--- 2553063
Kral Big Horn .30 cal, yay or nay?

>>2553032
Yellow zone usually means it has fallen out of the regulator pressure and will shoot with less power... up to the point the pressure isn't enough to overcome barrel friction and you get a squib, but you'd have to shoot until the pellets are literally plopping out of the barrel to have that happen.

beautiful, one day Im going to buy one of these

>>2549395
Airguns were around for over 200 plus years before Lewis and Clark..
--- 2554516
>>2553063
I shot something similar at a gun show.
Asked the guy how much it cost. He told me four and a half grand.
So I went and bought a gamo for 150 dollars. I only wanted it for rabbits in my yard anyway.
--- 2554517
>>2554516
Might be some Daystate or something, that rifle in particular is like $700-800
--- 2554519
>>2554517
It was a custom job. The scope on it was a grand and a half by itself.
--- 2554522
>>2554519
If you go custom shit can get stupid expensive. Specially for benchrest or field-target. You see guys running top of the line Nightforce scopes on those competitions, and the scope is only a quarter of the price of the whole rig.
--- 2554554
Any recommended break action pellet guns for rabbits and squirrels? Preferably in .22
--- 2554563
>>2554554
I like my gamo swarm.
--- 2554573
>>2554554
What's your budget? Rifle and scope?
--- 2554594
>>2554573
he said break barrel.. scope is a no-go. holy shit wish people would stop putting scopes on those things... and put the rear irons/forward irons on the barrel only.. its a weird sight picture but at least you can fucking hit shit....
--- 2554601
>>2554594
There are many "springer rated" scopes. If you put a random cheapo scope it's going to crap out, but if you put a Hawke or a UTG Bugbuster, they are specifically made for spring action air rifles. You need good mounts too, something like a 1-piece one
--- 2554706
>>2541063
I have one of these with a match barrel. It's really accurate, easy to use. But underpowered for anything besides close-ish range. So much drop on the pellet in .22
--- 2554707
>>2541673
>>2541671
In bigger calibers and heavy-weight pellets these can be strong enough to hunt men, anon.
--- 2555288
>>2554601
In some rifles those mounts don't let you put the magazine, only pellet by pellet
--- 2555356
>>2555288
PCPs have minimal recoil and can use whatever scope.
--- 2555377
Airgunner here.
Some airguns are as deadly as regular firearms.
Most are gay bullshit, if they cant tell you the calibre of pellet, fps and propulsion its probably shit.
--- 2556294
>>2555356
I didn't mean that. If you use a 1-piece mount in some rifles you can't put the magazine in it so you have to put a single pellet everytime you want to shoot
--- 2557277
>>2553032
Look up regulated vs unregulated
--- 2557769
>>2556294
If your rifle doesn't have a suppressor you only need one shot. Everything scatters after the first round. My pops bought a breach loader (because he's a retarded boomer and totally ignored me) to kill starlings and the thing is loud as fuck.
--- 2558568
I've considered getting a suppressed air rifle for plinking cause i don't feel like doing the tax stamp bullshit for suppressors for my .22
--- 2558844
Getting this scope tomorrow for my Kral Puncher, good or not?
--- 2559101
Imagine buying airgun for the price of .22
--- 2559733
>>2559101
Imagine saying something this retarded in a thread you obviously didn't read.
--- 2560040
>>2553063
Avoid Turkish airguns.
--- 2560112
I bought this and I'm nervous
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003374697568.html
this is the first time I buy an accesory like this in the chinese market, I didn't want to buy one in my country because the quality were very similar to chinese scopes but they were too expensive, almost the double even when most of them are from the same brands and hae the same specs
>>2558844
That scope looks great, what is the weight of your rifle? and what is the weight of that scope?
--- 2560171
>>2560040
Why? I get the thing about cheap Turkish shotguns from no-name manufacturers, but air rifles are fine. Specially if you buy from well known companies like Kral or Huglu.
--- 2560231
>>2560171
Diana and Airforce are known for quality products and have been in the business for awhile.
--- 2560506
>>2560171
Because you can get Air Arms for the same price.
--- 2561975
>>2548988
what scope
--- 2561982
>>2540957 (OP)

I find it's most helpful in colder climates. Puts a little pep in your step

>>2541310
Personally I prefer my .22 pcp over .22lr, I do a lot of squirrel hunting and .22lr does too much damage to the carcass to do anything with. Plus the added range you get from .22lr isn't gonna matter at the distances you'll be hunting squirrels at.
--- 2562376
>>2561975
Nikon Prostaff EFR 3-9x40. I think their discontinued now. Great scope if you can find one though.
--- 2562410
>>2562350
I'm getting a CZ 457 22lr/17hmr combo rifle after getting ridiculed with the PCP rifle in my latest hunt. We hunt in a vineyard and sometimes rabbits are rally far away, like 200m, I could never close in enough to get a shoot with my .25 cal air rifle. Since it's flat and featureless it's really hard to estimate range, I shoot at like 20 rabbits and got none. Also my rifle is heavy as fuck. 17hmr ought to do the trick.
--- 2562445
>>2562410
That's a valid reason to go with a conventional firearm over a pcp, you have to get equipment that meets your needs. I'm just sick of all the sperging about how PCPs are pointless because 22lr exists
