[QUOTE="Bull_Mtn, post: 1671189, member: 105447"] I am an avid airgun shooter. Our club has the largest dedicated airgun range in the US. We have 20 shooting lanes and regularly shoot out to 100 yds. Some spring powered air guns have enough power to make clean kills out to 50 yards or beyond. You can't buy one of these at Walmart! Head shots are best with .22 cal shooting 16 gr pellets at 950 fps. out to 75 yds. .25 and .30 cal, shooting .33 and .44 grain pellets are good beyond 100 yds, with a super accurate PCP rifle. I shoot a Rapid Air Weapon, PCP .22 cal. with a 10x50x56 Sightron Scope. I have the regulator set to shoot a 25 gr pellet at 920 fps. I would have no problem killing a gopher at 100 yds, even with a body shot. I shoot in competition against, .25 and .30 caliber airguns, with good results. Regarding scopes and airguns. Spring powered guns can be deadly on scopes. Only a few manufacturers warrant their scopes for use on Springers. PCP or CO2 powered guns are OK with any scope. [/QUOTE]
