Hey team.
Asking on behalf of a mates dad. He is in the process of getting his FAL (but who knows when that will come through), and is wanting to pop some bunnies in the mean time.
What air rifles do people have experience using? He’s keen on something half decent that doesn’t break the bank. He’s happy to go second hand if it’s a proven shooter.
And advice given would be much appreciated.
Search previous threads. Plenty there including a recent one
I use a Hatsan Galation in .25 caliber. As a PCP and a 12 shot cylinder magazine, it’s a thumper.

I would pick the Benjamin rouge. Good value cause is used. .22 cal is my preference
Here in NZ, PCP air rifles require a firearms licence (FAL).Quote:

That is very interesting about PCP and the legislation. In the States many of the hunters using air rifles, to include PCP) are felons who are statutorily prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition.

Got to try a Ruger Blackhawk Elite - was very impressed with it, performed very well on bunnies.
