Naturally in europe we are a bit repressed with 'real guns' so alternatives need to be found....in N.Ireland air rifles require a firearms certificate - so instead of the normal power level of 12ft.lb I got myself one thats 35 ft.lb and can hit do headshots on rabbits/birds out to 75yrds. Thats my hunting rifle, anything as powerfull as .22LR and .308 I have to do at the club range. (we can get .22LR to hunt...but it's a whole lotta hoops to jump through i.e I must own X amount of 'suitable' land, three other landowners permission, letters from other shooters, 1 year club membership using that particular calibre)
It's pretty good though, 50" long, internal & additional silencer. The cost of the rifle and divers bottle is $1250 - but with all the other stuff i.e scope/sling/mounts it works out to be $1800 in all....yes, for an air rifle. I was wondering if there was a market like this in America, but I'm guessing no - I wonder what I could buy gun-wise with $1800?
