Hello to all , I found this article very interesting with lots of good information, I’ve been shooting airguns for about 45 years now and I’m also a collector and own about 30 or so different Airguns and I enjoy all of them! When I’m not shooting Airguns or going to Airgun shows ( there all over the USA ) I’m reeding about you guessed it ! Airguns lol , I don’t think I could ever make a list like this because there’s so many to choose from ranging from 35 bucks all the way to several thousand dollars, they all have good and bad things about them but I do know that if I was talking to someone who wants to get into shooting airguns I would for sure recommend some of the older model Benjamin pumpers such as the 22. Caliber model 312 , 317 , 342 , 347 or even the 392 these old guns are amazing there super accurate made of all metal and wood no plastic on these ! And you can adjust the power level by how many pumps you use , I’m still shooting old Benjamin’s that were made in the 40s and as long as you maintain them the value goes up instead of down! You can find them at yard sales, estate sales, eBay or Airgun shows ,you can pick up a really nice one for a couple hundred dollars or even 100 bucks just ask the google machine ! Lol oh did I mention that they were made in
America instead of China ! Do your self a favor and look into these old guns before you drop any money at the big box store, there’s also several companies that sale hundreds of different Airgun brands, I would really suggest doing some research and figure out exactly what you intended to use the gun for , and I also must say that a lot of these Airguns comes with the same pride of ownership that any firearm would, and a lot of these Airguns are truly beautiful and works os art and engineering marvels . Thank you for allowing me to add my 2 cents.

In reply to Charles Wozniak. a 22 would be the best go to between those two. 17 can hunt, but 22 is a better hunter and perfectly capable range gun.

In reply to William Carroll. Air guns are superbly soft recoilers, and anything in the 17, 22, and 25 will treat you well.

In reply to Kyle Manson. When you exhale there is a natural pause in your breath, it is during this pause that you want to fire the weapon.

I’ve been shooting for a few weeks now, and I’m having a tough time getting my groupings down. Is a better air rifle going to help with this? My current rifle was very cheap, and I’m worried that it isn’t very accurate! Otherwise, do you have any recommendations on how I can improve my shooting? Occasionally I’ll get a few shots on center mass, but typically my grouping is very large.

I only recently starting shooting and I wondered if you have any tips for me? My grouping is very bad at the moment and I’m struggling to hit center mass. I’m worried that my breathing technique isn’t right. How should I be breathing to ensure that the rifle is steady?

I’ve been shooting the Benjamin Trail NP XL Magnum .22 for a few years now. It’s a great rifle for hunting small game and even slightly larger animals, but I’m not sure that I’d want to hunt a large deer with a .22 like this. In my opinion, it probably doesn’t have the velocity to get a clean kill on an Ontario Whitetail. However, if I was down in the US hunting blacktail or other smaller deer, I’m sure it would be fine. But I mainly use this rifle for hunting much smaller animals. I also heard its illegal to hunt deer in the United States with a .22..

In reply to Lorne Buck. Firing a BB gun within city limits is illegal in my city, because tween/teen hoodlums like to shoot out peoples car windows. I reckon that like me, you grew up in a time were kids were spanked, and taught not to shoot out peoples car windows. We played with rifles, BB guns, fireworks and arrows all summer and nobody cared.

Fantastic article. I’m brand new to shooting, in fact, I’ve never actually shot yet, and this has helped me to narrow down my options significantly. At the moment I’m deciding between the RWS Model 34 and the Air Arms TX200. My only question is whether I should get a .22 or a .177 rifle. It seems that a .22 caliber would be better for hunting while a .177 caliber might be more ideal for target shooting? If you could clarify this for me, it would be greatly appreciated. At the moment I’m planning to focus on target shooting at the range until I have a more accurate shot. However, in the future, I might consider hunting, and therefore it’s important to me that my rifle can do both. Thanks!
