22lr on my property it's not 100% safe by my requirements and the neighbors don't care for the noise. I shoot my air rifles more than my powder burners- I can shoot them in the backyard at 50Y for lots of trigger time without annoying the neighbors or having to pack up and drive anywhere. I can really only afford to save that ammo for matches only! Centerfire ammo is so cost prohibitive to me, that I can't really afford to train or practice with it. You don't even want to know what I just paid for 500 rounds for my new 6.5cm ( I coulda bought one hell of an airgun for that price -and it wouldn't be gone in a few months like the 6.5 ammo will be!). There are plenty of low $$$ air guns out there that will provide a positive shooting experience, you just need to be realistic about the capabilities and limitations of whatever you decide to buy.Īs somebody coming from the other direction (starting with airguns first, and just recently getting into to centerfire), I can't believe how much you guys pay for AMMO! I'm used to paying about 12 bucks for 500 rounds for my air gun. I got the impression that a Rem700 right off the shelf was not good enough for you guys, and I was going with the assumption that most of you guys would want to go the extra mile for top-notch air gun accuracy as well. 338? I thought a little air gun money would be no big deal for you guys.

I got the impression that all of you guys here on the hide had piles of GAP's and AI's in the safe, each with it's own S&B mounted up! LOL! A different caliber for each day of the week, right? LOL! How much does it cost to shoot that. +1! Well said seanh!!! I couldn't agree more.īut I can also understand where Phantom309 is coming from. If you want justification.precision trainer, no rebarreling necessary even after thousands of rounds through the barrel, can shoot in your back yard, 100 bucks in quality pellets will get you 2000-5000 rounds, depending on caliber (that knocks out your reloading issue)

Do you want a rifle that feels like you're holding a precision centerfire rifle or are you ok with something that feels like a toy. The question is do you want something that your grandkids will pass down or are you ok with tossing it in the garbage in a few years. In addition, what it costs you in reloading components to shoot for a month, you can shoot for a year or more in an airgun. You'll have to remember that you'll get 10's of thousands of rounds out of that airgun with no need to rebarrel where as a precision rifle will require rebarreling every few thousand rounds. The trick is to quit thinking of it as 'just an air gun' and think of it as a well made weapon just like you would a precision rifle.
