My preference is for the PCP type rifles. They deliver a lot more power than the spring types (aka breaker-barrel), even though some of the "springers" can also throw a punch. This is my favorite. Air Force Talon that I customized with a longer barrel and heavier buffer for more air. Talon launched a new model called Condor, which copied what several folks (including me) did to our Talon. Both the Talon and the Condor are single-shot as the spring-type rifles. However, the air tank allows for at least 30 shots. Photo shows it with a ATN NV scope. This rifle can put a .22 pellet in a mouse's eye at 30 yards. It's made in Texas. 
Another great rifle. Rapid 12, marketed in US by Beeman as Super 12. This one shoots a .25 pellet with very high accuracy but it's not as customizable as the Talon. It's also a lot more expensive. Around $1500 vs. just $500 for the Talon. The Rapid uses a bolt action and a 12 rounds magazine. This one is made in England and is the Ferrari of the air-rifles. 
My 9mm is a Career. It's made in Korea, uses a 10 rounds magazine and a lever action such as the Winchester rifles. I do not have a photo of this one. It's sound is similar to a 12-gage shotgun and can break cinder blocks easily. |
My Russian .177: IZH-46 (pre M)
bought in 2000 for retail: $255.00 (they go for $560 now) My older airgun; British made Webley Tempest .22 cal. I bought this at Dr. Robert Beeman's store in Santa Rosa, CA. He personally installed the rosewood target stocks and the trigger shoe before I left. WA pigeons feared this pistol.

Thanks Guys,
Wiell under the Carbon Fiber shroud is a 21 inch LW polygonal .22 barrel. At max, it will shoot JSB monsters @ 1100 fpe...70. fpe(foot lbs of energy) Dialed all the way done, it will shoot kodiaks @55 fpe. I love my Lonestar VRS REST. I use for bench rest, photo shoots and cleaning cradle. They stop selling them a couple of years ago........ Btw. If you want to see all the gory details of my build... And the talented guys made happen. Got to the site I admin... AirgunAdvice.net Here is the thread all about it!!! http://www.airgunadvice.net/viewtopic.php?t=12278 Ca_Longshot |

I have to warn people about the recoil because they don't expect it and most don't believe me until they pull the trigger!

BigDozer66 I had to laugh when I flinched...I don't even flinch on 50 cals....but I was NOT expecting the recoil from the 48. Funny thing, the 54 is exactly the opposite...it is nearly as recoil-less as a PCP. Very weird. |

Here's a Weihrauch HW 98..... http://www.ar15.com/media/viewFile.html?i=67386'] Those 98's are nice rifles for sure! BigDozer66 I had to do a bit of tuning on it to get it perfect. I stripped it down, made sure the piston and spring setup was well lubed, then I used some really good grease and oil on the trigger group. THEN I tuned up the sear engagement and spring tension on the trigger. THHHEEENN I added fiber washers and teeniest bit of loctite to the front screws so that they would stay in place. ( an issue with Weihrauchs ) After that I shot and tightened and shot and tightened the screws until I got perfect 10 yard groups. It's a stone killer now. |

Here's my Crosman Backpacker in .22 Cal. These are fun to build. I bought the base gun from Walmart for $54. Steel receiver $50. Leapers AO mil dot scope $50. Silencer (yes you need one) $50. I did my own trigger job. You can do countless power mods but I like it the way it is. It's suprisingly accurate for a cheap gun. I took it to my parents place in Arizona so my 87 year old dad and I could do some target pratice in the back yard.
