    Thanks for the advice people
    I'l keep your sayings in mind when purchasing a air gun.

    and i dont need help(in terms of psychic, i think thats what you have ment), why respond to me like that?
    I am very responsible with every object i own.

    Not gonna discuss that any futher, it will only be flaming this thread.

    may not be the best idea to state that you dont care if its illegal!

    Quite simply the wrong attitude in a sport like ours.

    You need accuracy, not power. BB is the most inaccurate airgun ammo there is. If you do hunt with an air rifle, you have to do head shots or you'll just end up wounding animals. 40M is the maximum you should use a powerful and accurate airgun for, less if you've never shot before.
    You need to go to an airgun club and learn more about shooting in Holland because it's obvious you are starting from zero and there's a lot to know.

For an inexperienced shooter take 10M off that. 75 to 100M is a wholly unrealistic expectation as you'll need a rimfire for those distances.

    The guns you have listed are mainly cheap tat made in China or Turkey from poor quality metal and plastic parts. The Hatsans are probably the best of a bad bunch.
    Agree 100% here.

    You need a HIGH QUALITY rifle for taking anything at long distances, by that i mean 30-40m Air guns (unless seriously over powered) are simply not designed for it.
    Realisticly most of us shoot 15-30m
    Plus if you cant stalk within this distance of a crow or bunny you aint that good coz we all manage over here

    Look for air arms, HW, daystates etc.

    BB's are useless for hunting, they are inacurate and have no stopping power.

    You can get a perfectly good multi shot .22 (air arms s410 for instance) which is more than capable of taking down rabbits and rats.

    As the others have recomended to you check ure own laws.
    It only takes a few idiots to **** it up for everyone.

    get angry at the people who misuse the guns. they are **** is up for people.
    I dont do this.

    Thanks, glad to have asked. i wont use bb's for hunting then.
    i dont wanna injure a animal.

    Im thinking about a crosman quest or phantom then, for plinking and small animals.

    and still, im pretty sure it is LEGAL here, owning and shooting air guns, and shooting non-protected animals.

    shooting cant be that hard, just aim and pull the trigger.
    The only things im thinking about i need to learn, is how to edit the scope for good accuracy, and get used to the bounce back on the more powerful air rifles.
    I'm not into cleaning, modding, repairing, ect.

    Just like most devices i own.

    plinking, yes, it's all they are good for. Do forget 'small animals'. Even mouse will likely give you a second glance and if it could talk would say 'that all you got'. You never know, mousy may come back for more. They are not daft and will antagonise you, all part of lifes game.

    I had one in me shed, right little blighter, it would sit in the corner, watching. Move a finger it was ofskie. Next thing you knew it would run along me forearm. As for wee bait boxes the wee mouse shoved 'em out the way.

    if this is what you think do us all a favour go out and buy your self a golf club set or a rc car not an airgun because clearly youve got some serious learning to do before you injure something or someone!!!
