FReeper Airgunners? (Vanity)
Today | Meself

Posted on 09/17/2010 8:59:42 PM PDT by Celtic Cross

I know that vanities are frowned upon, so I shall make this brief. Is there an airgun ping list? If so, who is the keeper, and if not, can one be started?

In addition, perhaps some airgunning FReepers could chime in on the sport.

Not to dampen your spirit, but what is airgunning?

Is this like airsoft?

The long answer is this.

The short answer is; airgunning is hunting, field shooting, target shooting with precision-made, high-quality air powered long or short arms.

I've got an RWS Diana 350 magnum. Wicked powerful for an airgun and I can legally shoot it in my suburban backyard.

No is not. It is THIS.

I suggest that you add ‘banglist’ to the thread keywords.
There is no airgun ping list that I know of, but the shooters on the banglist can usually help.

So, when you go hunting with these, do you ever stune your prey with beebers?

I have one also. Love it. Amazingly accurate with the right pellets. I also have the Sheridan Benjamin Super Streak. Almost sounds like a .22 because the pellets go supersonic. Not as accurate as the RWS but close.

Is that the Sheridan you have pictured? Cool looking rifle.

Ooops... my RWS is the Diana 460 magnum with the under lever. Love it.

Yes, that is the Sheridan. I am a semi-regular shopper at
www.pyramydair.com
www.airgundepot.com and
www.airgunsbbguns.com

Mrs. Lando just shakes her head.

The thing that I don’t like about the Sheridan is its length. Has to be one of the longest around.

I’ve never shot one of those... Must be something.
