What does /k/ think about air rifles?

>>30607913
they're rifles that use a spring or compressed air to move a pellet at decent velocities

>>30607913
PCP is GOAT

>>30607913
Good for squirrel and cheaper then .22LR.

>>30607913
The people that do the Olympic 10m airgun comps are (in my experience) universally elitist assholes.

But aside from that I wouldn't mind having a good .22 airgun for close range varmint slaying.

That's a fact not an opinion.
OP asked about your opinion on them, you illiterate retard.

>>30607926
I was thinking about getting a pcp air rifle for tree kebab removal, are there any you'd recommend?

>10lb airgun with an additional 10lb of lead weights attached

This shit is what ruined trap shooting for me. All the gamey little gimmicks.

The 10m comps are all .177

>>30608153
Yes

And?

This.
It becomes less about shooter skill and more about the amount of money and gadgets you can tack onto your equipment.
Nothing practical about shooting like that.
