I don’t even own a .22. All the fun I can have with a .22 I can have an air rifle for a fraction of the price.
Can you hit a rabbit/squirrel in the head at 100 years with an air rifle?
LOL! Yeah, got one of them too. Packs a wallop on the evil bunny wabbits. I’m limited in my field of fire due to neighboring houses. And, it seems like the wabbits know which direction to run. Kind of like deer know when hunting season starts.
Can you kill a deer at longer ranges.
Air rifles are pretty good and have a legitimate place in an arsenal, but they cannot replace a 22 in effectiveness, range, and rapidity of use.
And with 22 pistols the air world has no effective competitor.
