Air rifle question

Post by Guest »

Does anyone here know their way around air rifles? I have a Beeman (I think) break-barrel that shoots at 450fps, so I'm looking for something more powerful but still cheap. I've found these two:

http://www.pyramydair.com/cgi-bin/model.pl?model_id=296

anyone suggest which one's better (not because of the price difference)?

Also, does anyone know a store or website where I could buy a 1000fps air rifle in Canada?

:lol:

If that's an air gun that's funny, more funny than a mock DE 50AE air gun.

PS. I f'ing love that gun. Someday I will have my own 50BMG. Just to make the bad man stop.

1000fps? got an FAC.(gun licence)

even that 450fps one may need an fac, check into it.

Here, anything slower than 500fps is not considered a firearm. I bought my 450fps rifle at Canadian Tire, like I'd buy groceries.

What I want to do is to buy a 1000fps "illegal" rifle and ship it here. I doubt anyone cares, since its still an air rifle shooting 0.177 cal pellets, which can harm a squirrel at most.

i live in ontario. anyways i knew it was somewhere around 500f/ps for no fac.

1000f/ps rifle i assume would be more than capable of harming a squirrel. more like blow half the squirrels head off.

Well, my current rifle's pellets pass through an aluminum 341ml Coke can without moving it from a distance of 10 meters (I've only been shotting in my not so big back yard). I had a russian air rifle in Russia and I was shooting with cheap non-aerodynamic russian pellets (850 pellets for $1 CAD...) and the pellet broke the can in half like if you'd hit it with a stick. The pellet didn't pass through the second wall of the can though. I wonder what can I do with a 1000fps rifle.
