    Getting back into air rifles !

    Hey lads ,

    Has anyone else done the full 180 and wants to get back into air rifles after having there FAL.
    So long story short , started hunting rabbits on the family farm about 10 years ago with air rifles and did pretty well if I do say so myself. Learnt to shoot and learnt about shot placement etc..
    Fast forward a few years and I have got my FAL and a few rifles under my belt. Been duck shooting, deer hunting and obviously rabbitt hunting.

    I feel myself being pulled toward air rifles again , which air rifles have you guys and girls brought once you have got back into air rifles. I would love a PCP but cant justify the cost and setup.

    Im looking at a crossman 362 pump up and eventually replacing the plastic breech with a metal one so i can put optics on it.

    Cheers !

    I had an AirArms s410 TDR FAC and I loved that thing. Only sold it when I Immigrated. I've played with the little ratcatchers on and off, pretty much my whole life. Upgrading them gets addictive and expensive but they are heaps of fun.

    I run a Benjamin 392 with a steroid tune from Mac1 air guns.
    ported and billet lever etc, good for 14 pumps now.

    I see the newer 392/397 's are producing more velocity.

    Have tried to look on that site. But always comes up as not being secure, so never gone any futher. Do you know if that's the case with everyone?
