I agree. My 45 ammo costs were painful. I was listening to a Gunny (good guy) with a
YouTube site. He was using CO2 pellet gun for practice.
Air Gun Depot is a great place to find both pump and CO2 rifles and pistols. I went with the
Beretta PX4 Storm. The refurbished models are $60 and the cartridges and pellets are very economical. The CO2 pistols are excellent for practice. I like the blow back action on the Beretta as a gentle reminder of safe handling.
I have also purchased a few of the break action air rifles. They are worth checking out for practice and varmint hunting. For a kick check out the
Gamo Hunter Extreme Air Rifle .25 cal- 730 fps w/3-9x50 IR A/O Scope. The break action is a little hefty on this one, but ammo is cheap and is competitive with powder. You won't break the bank stocking up with ammo.

Cool. Didn’t know anything about these...

Guns similar to your expensive to shoot piece, but in .22 LR are also a good way to save on ammo costs.
Or if you fancy long arms, a conversion kit, or a separate upper, for your AR performs the same function. The upper will be more accurate, but the kit a lot cheaper.

You are the kind of person they had in mind when they invented big bore airrifles...
Read the story of the 2000 lb. bison and the black bear and a 330 lb. boar taken with a Quackenbush .458 cal. air rifle.
