Been an airgun freak since a kid... I got some nice .50 cal airguns...
Which do you have?

Air Force Texan, Umarex Hammer, and of course a Dragonclaw..... all charged with a Hill EC-3000 compressor.
Impressive what compressed air can do.

Fun for sure, I have many of them. Only thing that sucks in NY is our hunting regs make hunting with silenced airguns questionable. Plus they get real expensive for high end ones.

I read somewhere years ago they were using .50 cal like yours for hunting red deer in the UK

Yep. A lot of states in the US will allow you to take deer (or other large game) with airguns.
NYS DEC is being funny about it for some reason.....
I would not have any doubt that my Airforce Texan in .50 cal could humanely take a deer.

I used to shoot sub MOA @100 yards with my Airforce rifle. It Had a LW Barrel and a suppressor. it cracked like a 22 without it. it was about as loud as a Daisey red ryder with it on. it just pinged. It was truely a an air rifle sniper rifle I Made only head shots on rats across the yard Maybe 35 40 yards. Pinned them in place You could hear it hit , thwak

some thing like 500 for 20 bucks . of course some ammo is better than others, and they come in different grains , I used to shoot the heavier 28 to 36 grain pellets and they come in rifle calibers too. 9mm up to 308 .

Very cool! I have this Beretta AG Pistol, that is a blast to shoot. Also taught my son how to shoot and handle a pistol with it.

Every time someone touches on the air gun topic it definitely has my attention. Especially the subject of reloading. Air is free! (For now at least)

I stumbled across a YouTube channel a while ago(edgun leshiy) and since then I have been wanting a PCP airrifle but I just cant justify the price of a PCP airrifle
My match grade PCP was under $600. You can get a decent PCP for under $500.
They are more pricey than spring piston rifles, but they are much better at hitting the target.
By the way, it is perfectly legal to have a sound suppressor on air rifles. You can shoot it at home without disturbing family or neighbors. Silent pellet traps can be made from a cardboard box stuffed with rags. Fancier pellet traps can be made with electricians putty in a wooden box.

What do you have?
If you sign up at Crosman (Bloomfield, NY) on their e-mail list, they often run specials with decent discounts.
I think they have a Factory Store there where you can buy refurbished/scratch & dents/etc....been by there several times, but never when they were open.
I have a Benjamin Marauder PCP in .25 and it seems a good rifle, bit heavy, still need to buy a portable Tank & Compressor (at least I have a Friend who will fill mine) That hand Pump works but sucks to use.
When you really start comparing ballistics, you'll find that many are the equivalent of Pistol rounds: That Marauder of mine is just about the same as a .25acp pistol cartridge...but will kill critters dead.
The "357" seems best sending a 148gr .357 lead slug out at 850fps...same as a .38 Special.

Daisy 599, which is actually BSA Silverstar imported by Daisy. You can buy it from CMP.

A while back I saw one for sale here on the forum, I think it was a 25cal but I never inquired about it, It looked heavy. I was just reading up on one that included the hand pump actually and it said 100 pumps with the air pump to fill it, ugh no thanks lol
I remember seeing that ad as I have the same Rifle..To me the Rifle is heavy, which is somewhat strange as I'm used to shooting a M1 Garand and it's a nine pound rifle.
Better hope Hochul and the Legislature doesn't get wind of this, else they'll ban and require BGC's for them as well.
*NYS Requires a NICS Check for Black Powder Guns, yet the Fed says they are non-guns and Federal Law prohibits using the NICS System for anything other than specified, yet here we are.
