    whats better .177 or .22

    Well someone had too
    Im off out for the day i shall pick up some pop corn for my evening read through
    Of course everyone knows .177 is the only calibre for proper men .20 is more or less the cross dresser of calibres and sub 12 .25 surely must only be the domain of fools
    Have fun im offski

    I've just found a .125" barrel from some old knackered antique and grafted it on with a sleave to my Rapid. Sizing down the .177 ammo is a real PITA, but with the massive cross sectional area reduction I'm hoping for a great BC...
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Marmite and strong Cheddar cheese sarnies are hard to beat...

    .177 - always .177. It's the civilised way of shooting.

    Unless I've got a taste for my .22 FN12

    All of the above.
