African Safari With An Air Rifle! 50 Cal

[retiredbosn]

Does anyone have any experience with this new generation of air-rifles?

I've found 357 caliber up to 50, one guy did an African hunt with one. There are several videos on YouTube showing ppl taking feral hogs.

I'm thinking of gettin a .177 to take care of my tree rat infestation. I'm in city limits but they're not classified as a firearm so I wouldn't be breaking any laws.

Holly cow! You wasn't kidding. Seen 2500 to 4500 psi. And a 357cal. Pellet. Around 2500 psi drop big buck on his butt dead. And hogs i seen didn't go far.

Knocks down steel targets like a rifle. Never caught the mussel velocity on them but man it must be fast.

Benjamin air rifles. Multiple shot filled by every kind of compressed air source u could image.

Look for the night vision hunt for hogs. Lol man I'd like to have the money for the night vision stuff they used.

Or heck just the scopes. For that matter.

Whats the price on them? Gotta be high for the hole set up.

Scares the heck out me to think about messing with that much psi air though!

Silenced my real 22 cal and using sub sonics sounds just like air rifle. No pop. But the bullet sounds wicked when it hits something like a tree. Pops on that end like a fast pitch ball hit a glove.

Careful and check with your city. The cops can tell u. There still illegal here. Buddy got a ticket 30 years ago when we where school age. And we still have live stock with in the city limits. So we aren't that big.

Yet we can use the new exploding targets in the county where I'm at. Buddy rattles the windows of every one for a mile around him sometimes. Cops came and said oh well thats fine, just had to come check, cause someone called.

Look that stuff up if u ain't seen it. He he. It's still legal. But I doubt anything that makes that big a boom will be long.

You tube it.

And Intelligent Rifle! Never miss anything again. Wow. Amazing.

When I was working the night shift we built and tested a 1/2" tubing gun operated from an air hose. We were shooting either 1/16" or 1/8" pipe plugs threw 1/2" plywood.
