Neale,
I noticed that in the UK,you folks are very serious about your airgunning. Some very fine examples of fine airguns come from your country.

In the US,airgunning has been growing by leaps and bounds and some big bore air rifles are now being made.

One shop,Quakenbush Air Rifles,has at least a two year wait. It is a one man shop and he specializes in big bore (cal 45) air rifles.

I enjoy hunting small game with my high powered air rifles as it affords me to hunt in smaller parcels of land where even 22 lr or 410 shotguns could not be utilized.

Plus,during inclement weather,I can shoot indoors in my house at my "indoor range". (you know, from the laundry room,through the shop into the pellet trap against the wall)
