Hunting

[sniperphil]

If you have a choice air gun, or shot gun, or rimfire.
wot would it be,
I never seam to pick the right one when I go out hunting.
If I go with the shotgun ever thing on the ground and to far a way, rimfire everything in the sky.

Air Gun or Catty, pretty much all I'm allowed for the time being but are still capable enough for most game I'm likely to see.

Air or rimfire most of the time, but even then it's .22 semi or 17WSM
Pretty much guarantee if I choose air, the place will be crawling with foxes so next time I'll take the .243 & the trees will be full of squizzers.

I believe the term is "sods law"

just the air rifle for me

[robs5230]

My perms have areas where sub12 is needed and others where rimfire is needed

I just take whichever rifle, suits the part of the perm I plan to shoot.

My shooting is 99% rabbits, so rarely any flying, or up trees.

A 12g shotgun with a variety of cartridges is probably the most versatile, it's not the farmers workhorse for nothing.

Not the most enjoyable though.

If you think of hunting as I do, that most of the fun is in the stalking, then hunting squirrels in dense woodland is the perfect task for the air rifle. If that's not difficult enough you can try hunting magpies in hedgerows, provided you have good reason of course.

Air Rifle in .177 all the time.
You are generally good to 45-50 yards with normal airgun quarry.
Fox or deer are totally different prey.

Common problem. A very hard choice but FaC air might be the best only one gun option.
