If you could have only one CALIBER....?

[Luis Leon]

For what I do with my airguns .22s are simply versatile and widely available… Biggest pests I go after are woodchucks, sub 50 yards the .22s get it done for me…

The .22 is super popular on this thread, so let's look a little closer....

All you .22 guys - springers, PCP'S, or what?

For me it's. 22 (springer).



ps - I'm pretty sure the .25 guys are all using PCP's, though I really like my Hatsan 125 in .25

pump and PCP I do have one springer but you don't won't my views on springers.

 

[JimT66]

Pump, BB,and PCP.

 

[Luis Leon]

PCPs in .22

Springers in .177

 

[Danman]

PCPs in .22

Springers in .177

Same here: 2 springers in .177 (5 and 13fpe). Both pcps are in .22 (30 and 53fpe) and both give me 55 shots per fill.

Interesting question. I suppose I could simply decide by the number of rifles (pistol) I have in any given caliber. I couldn't have a ten meter pistol in any other caliber than .177, and my Red Wolf is a .177 HP, the Ghost is the same. There are more, but you get the idea.

 

[Farmplinker2]

Springers, multipumps, PCP, AND CO2 .22 airguns.

For me it has to be a 9mm Leshiy 2 of course!!………NOT!! I still say .25 and not a L2.

the only issue I see with anything other than a .17 cal or .22 cal is getting pellets in a pinch?
if you run out and the delivery truck crash with the last Tim your mail order shop had on hand and no more are sight sight as they are all back ordered, well you can shop at most any local shop and get a tin of .17 cal or .22 cal.
if you think this could not happen, well I can't be the only one that found .20 pellets a challenge at differant times.

Which is why I have started buying molds. I remember not even being able to find any 22lr on the shelves and that is one of the reasons I got started with PCPs. It's just a club with no ammo.

.177. This diminutive caliber has been overlooked for years in the U.S. It's great for target work, FT, BR, and small game, and it's cheap to shoot.

22cal, followed closely by 25cal. I had think about for a minute before I decided.
