What are the advantages and disadvantages of air rifle hunting?

One of the main advantages of air rifle hunting is that it's easy to use, gives you cheap practice and is also good for hunting small game. One of the main disadvantages or air rifle hunting is the fluctuation of pressure in relation to ambient air temperature.


What air guns can you use to hunt?

Most airguns will kill a rodent. It doesn't mean they are designed to kill rodents or used for hunting. It's just that they can. A good hunting air gun/rifle will state that it can be used for hunting. Look at the description on the box or literature and it will tell you what it is designed to do. Some say for Plinking, and target practice. Others will say for target and hunting. So you have to look and do some research. (Read the Specks) A good hunting air rifle will cost you around $200 and up. I suggest a .22 caliber rifle not a .177 caliber. If you want to do some serious large game hunt then use a PreCharged Pneumatic rifle that can fire up to a 50 caliber pellet.


Can you hunt deer with a Daisy Powerline 1000?

Definitely not a big game hunting rifle. It's too small a caliber. It's fine for rodent control, but medium to large game are way out of the capabilities of this rifle. There are air rifles that are used for hunting but they are in a class of their own. They are called PCP's (PreCharged Pneumatic) class rifles. The ones used for deer hunting usually are 357 or 50 caliber air rifles and will cost you $500 or more just for the rifle. They require a charging system that can cost another $300. None of the Daisy line of airguns or rifles are capable of deer hunting. If you want to hunt with an air rifle I suggest you look at a Benjamin Rogue .357 or a Sam Yang .50 caliber Dragon claw.

Can i take an air rifle onto moorland in England?

Only if you have specific licence to use it for hunting game or for target shooting, be this from the landowner if it is private land, or from the local authority or the National Trust if it is not. If you don't have this then you can be charged with carrying an offensive weapon, even if the rifle is legally held.


Would and air rifle be good for hunting small game?

There is a very large selection of air rifles for small game hunting. (See the link below) a few that I would stay away from are any air rifles that shoots BB's or combination of BB and pellets. These are usually smooth bore rifles and are not as accurate as a rifled bore air rifle. I would also select a springer over a pump or C02 driven air rifle because you will get tired pumping between shots and C02 is just not as powerful as springers. As for caliber, a .177 is fine but I would select a .22 caliber and use "hollow point" pellets for hunting. They deform on impact and make a clean kill. For very large game select a PCP Class air rifle, these are expensive, but go up to .50 Caliber and are capable of bringing down a boar or large deer. On another point. Don't confuse speed with knockdown power. Air Rifle manufactures like to boast about how fast the pellet travels. Any rifle can fire a lightweight pellet fast, but lightweight pellets like the "Rapter' are effected by crosswind. A heavy weighted pellet will fly slower but will travel straighter and have more impact. Look at the weight of pellets when you select one. Don't get caught up in the Speed game.


Is a crosman 764 pump master air rifle good for hunting?

Does Benjamin sheridan make 45 cal big bore hunting pellet rifles?

Benjamin (Owned by Crosman) has a new Benjamin Rogue it is a .357 caliber. At present it will be the largest Pellet rifle made with the Benjamin name. Yes it is a hunting rifle. The next largest Benjamin rifle is the Benjamin Marauder .25 caliber. Sam Yang make a 50 caliber and a 44 caliber hunting air rifle.


Can you use an air rifle to go hunting?

no not legal , check with your state firearms dealer or anyone who sells gun for hunting this is not true actually it is legal in allot of areas (not residential) but just make sure u can kill the animal humanely. and really if you hunt with a BB gun only small game i.e birds squirrels and maybe rabbits at the biggest
