Does anyone here shoot air rifles?
Thinking about buying one that is of quality manufacture (German) but not overly expensive and includes a scope as a package deal.
In stead of a break barrel I'm looking at an under lever cocking style rifle.
I have considered the PCP type, pump type and CO2 type rifles all which can be bought for less then a spring powered rifle and some more accurate.
From what I've read the technique needed to shooting an air rifle is what separates the good shooters from the average shooters and unlike a center fire or rim fire rifle money can't buy you accuracy and it is what skills you develop learning to shoot the air rifle is what makes the difference and should help increase your skills as a rifleman.
I'm looking at a Diana model 430L which is not a magnum spring rifle or nitro piston but a 12fpe rifle.
Air rifles power is gauged (for lack of better words) by foot pounds of energy they produce whether they are magnum or not. I'm no expert and these are my interpretations of what I have read so far.
So this is my next project for the summer.
