Thread: .177 or .22 for Air Rifle

Please don’t buy the Gamo. They are not good guns. Average quality, overpowered, harsh to shoot, 10 shot mechanisms are unreliable at best.

The right air rifle depends on a few things - intended use and budget.
Best value these days have a look at Cometa fusion. I had one of these in .177 that would group pellets in the same hole at 25yards.
Good build quality, adjustable trigger, accurate.
If you have the budget have a look at a Weihrauch - HW97 for targets, HW95 for rabbits, HW80 for possums.

In terms of caliber, .177 for targets, birds, rabbits. If you want to go after possums then go for .22…

Don’t buy the Gamo please.
