First off, I am going into information overload so please keep it simple here! I want to buy an air rifle sometime in the next few months. I will be moving from California to Michigans' UP next year so I think my winter shooting sessions are going to be few and far between. I want to practice in the winter with the air rifle. Should I get a spring powered rifle (RWS 34?) or a pneumatic? I'm leaning towards a springer because you only have to break the barrel and compress the spring once to fire it. The problem is that I have heard that the "recoil" is very different and that they can be hard to shoot. Since this would be mainly for indoor use I would get a good trap but I would like it to have enough power to dispatch pests and maybe for the occasional bird or squirrel to go in the crockpot. I've have done some research and posted over on Rimfirecentral, this is the only other forum I trust enough to ask a question on.
