    I wouldn't like to have to pump that with a hand pump. I can't see the advantage of going with such a large callibre, the ballistics are going to be poor - about that of .45 Colt 1911. 30 callibre would be more impressive.

    That will depend on the ammo I think. Another thing is that in countries as the Netherlands powerfull airrifles are free and firearms are not.

    That thing has got more foot poundage than any load out of a .45 acp , It will need to fire a 225 grain slug at over 1200 fps to come up to 740 ft/lb and is straying very close to .44 magnum performance.

    Yes and even more. The nice thing about it you can buy one over here in Holland without FAC or any licence.
    Just be 18 years or older and bring the cash

    The Giant is nothing special by the way. Ranger\ Gargoyle\ Quakenbusch have the same or more output

    Hi acmsarh,

    That's right. But our 100m match shooters are mostly interested how accurate it will be at longer distances .

    Hi emirto,

    Nobody will use a rifle like this for a 100m match....that would again be stupid.
