So I'm new to air rifles. I've been into firearms for years but decided to try a couple of air rifles to practice in the backyard with and ring some raccoons bells.
I got one of the rifles today and fired it at a 2x4. Yeah, it went right through it...it was a 25 caliber, 34gr JSB. After this, I can't think of any reason why I would even consider breaking out my 17-HMR for less than a 100 yard shot...and the woods vary between 50 and 75 yards from my deck.
I'm topping this with an ATN X-sight ii. Besides being so heavy it may need wheels, this thing is going to be devastating.
