    I have just entered into the PCP air rifle, rabbit hole of expense, with the purchases, of an FX streamline, in .25 cal. scope and a hand pump. xmass pressy to self.
    I am amazed by the accuracy, its way better than any of the .22 rimfires I own, 50m I can get 10 shots into a thumbnail sized group, Thought the wind defiantly pushes pellets around, more than I expected.
    Already got tired, of the hand pump, Have a Nomad electric pump, sitting on the floor, just picked up from the post office.

    What are the 22 rimfire rifles you own or owned?

    The Bunny on the left I rushed the shot because his ears were down, as you can see he didn't have any. Not sure why, perhaps fighting?

    Knocked this hare over last night with the Zbroia Kozak, it was about 90m and slightly down hill of me so I lined it up and squeezed the trigger... He just flopped forward then over onto his side with no kicking or anything. Cooking him up at a scouts camp tonight to show the kids what it tastes like.

    Got a few of these magpies this last year with the .25cal FX Dreamline, great we air rifle, just picked up a second takedown compact version in .22
    Still amazes me how accurate, a good quality air rifle can be, once tunes in.

    Kruza, there are quite a few options, squirrels both tree and ground, ground hogs, muskrats, crows, magpies, rabbits and several other small mammals, few other birds, but most any that migrate are protected.
    You can also hunt game birds (upland) with a rifle, I shoot a few grouse, every year with it, normally ruffle and shaptail grouse, head shot leave nice clean breast meat.
