.22

That's a shame, I couldn't function properly without a guitar

I already have an Ibanez RG2550z which I love

I decided to get an .22 SMK QB78 Deluxe, I've also ordered an XP tuning kit, to be fitted out by my local shop which should increase the muzzle velocity a bit Specification: Weight: 2.40Kg Length: 100.5cm (39.5") Barrel Length: 54.5cm (21.5") Calibre: .177 (4.5mm): 800fps / .22 (5.5mm): 600fps (approx) Safety catch Hardwood stock Telecopic sight and mounts not included Silencer not included Fully adjustable removable rear sight Grooved for telescopic sight and mounts Fixed barrel for greater accuracy Double charged CO2 capsules (2x12g)

Thanks everyone

As it says in the title, what is the best caliber for occasional hunting, rabbits, pigeons, rats, and target shooting at home. The gun I'm looking at shoots at 800 FPS with .177 and 501 FPS with the .22 pellets.

I think I will start with the XS78 then buy an XP tuning kit for it as well

I just want a cheap rifle to start off with, my max budget is £130.00.

Can you recommend a good spring rifle then davy?

Should I get a .177 or a .22 model?

Thank you secret agent mole, your a lifesaver

I know but I think its worth it

I have had experience with spring powered air-soft rifles so I think I would like to step up into hunting with proper air-guns. I have used a friends CO2 powered rifle before and I was amazed by the power and control you had with the gun. The rifle I'm looking at is a Rat Sniper Co2 .22 Air Rifle XS78, Spec: Type: Bolt Action Loading .22 cal Trigger: Single Stage three way adjustable. Safety: Trigger block safety. Stock: Hardwood. Barrell: Steel Rifled 12 grooves. Lengh: 40 inches (1015mm) Weight: 5.75 lbs (7.6kg) http://www.pellpax.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_...Co2_Rifles.html
