I put a .50 ball more than an inch deep in a piece of green oak firewood with this gun. I think I could take a deer with it. Its not a muzzle loader so I would be limited to the traditional firearms season only.

I have always liked air guns ever since I got my first Benjamin air pistol at age 12.

It was not very powerful despite the claim that it would do 500 fps in .22. It was extremely accurate tho.

I have never owned one of the real expensive externally charged air guns but probably have a dozen pneumatic and spring air right now.

For just walking around the yard, I actually prefer one of the inexpensive Daisy model 881's. I pump it up 12 times and it will dispatch any small game.

I used to have a Diana RWS model 52 but it was just plain too heavy.

I was in a little sporting goods store in Alva, Georgia and noticed they had a Haenel air rifle for only $80. It was rated at only 800 fps but was as accurate and well made as guns costing several times as much. I greatly regret selling it to my Nephew. It was a little jewel.
