[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1080918, member: 2736"] I have several Air rifles (A Feinwerkbau and a RWS) and really like to shoot them a varmints. Both are .177 cal but will eventually buy one of the 22 or 25 calibers for the energy. Lots of shooters use the air rifles for practice when the weather is to bad to go outside. you can buy or build a bullet trap for indoors and never leave you house if there is 3 foot of snow outside. The only thing you have to watch is the scopes. The Spring type air rifles are very hard on scopes due to the rebound (Recoil in both directions). Some scopes just will not handle this type of recoil because they are not made for the forward recoil. So if you start having trouble with accuracy, It could be your scope. (there are good quality scopes designed for springer air rifles) cheep scopes don't work. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
