    Newbie Saying Hello

    Just joined the forum as I am looking to get an air rifle at some point this year. Last season joined a small shooting syndicate that gives me access to some good land but so far I have only ever been out with the shotgun. I have not shot an air rifle for a few years now and they have moved on quite a bit in that time. Looking to get a second hand pre charged .22 outfit for £350 to £400.

    Will have a good look round here and get as many tips as I can for all the info on here which will take a long time.

    Welcome to the BBS....i know you state .22 but there is a growing number these days that prefer to hunt with .177. Also if you buy .177 you'll find it easier to sell on later as .177 appeals to both target shooters and hunters alike.

    I haven't owned a .22 for at least 5 years.

    hallo and welcome mate, i used to hunt with shot gun over my 2 permisions but now shoot with 177 and a .20 and i find that i am now getting a lot more with the air rifles went last night for 3 hours had 7 bunnys, with a shot gun you would have to walk for miles to get that many because of the damn noise
