    Red face Recommend me one of the following air rifles please...

    want to buy an air rifle that is powerful enough to kill small animals, like mouse, rabbit, squirrel and animals like that.
    I like the bb magazines in some air rifles, but I also like power. and it seems the powerful rifles don't have a bb magazine. And manually reloading every time....meh... But if it has more good things to outweight the bb magazine, then maby thats a better choice.

    I have the following choices:
    -Crosman 2100 classic (look doesnt really appeal me but got good power and range for its price. has a bb magazine that I like)
    -Crosman 664GT (cool look, but is it powerful? has a bb magazine that I like)
    -Crosman 664SB (cool look, but is it powerful? has a bb magazine that I like)
    -Crosman 764 (cool look, but is it powerful? has a bb magazine that I like)
    -Hadsan Mod 80 (powerful, but afraid of heavy blowback and parts that will break. also doesnt have a BB magazine that I like)
    -Hadsan Mod 90 (powerful, but afraid of heavy blowback and parts that will break. also doesnt have a BB magazine that I like, and I have read reviews that screws are loosening FAST)
    -Phantom 1000 (fair look, and pretty powerful, but it has no magazine at all?)
    -Quest 1000 (don't like the look that much, but is pretty powerful, but it has no magazine at all?)
    -Remington Airmaster 77 (has a bb magazine, but doubt the power of it.)

    I am gonna buy this in a shop in my country, and they don't have alot options for my budget. The 2100 costs already 100 dollar for example.

    I hope to get a good recommendation, since I think you guys have lots of experience with airsoft

    Also, the pumping guns require 10 pumps to get it working with maximum power, what about the other ones? Just one click and ready to fire?

    I think you need to check your own laws on what your allowed to hunt and with what type of rifle, Do you need a license? and are you allowed to hunt with air rifles? Our uk laws are different to yours, so it's hard to recommend anything as it might not be allowed in the netherlands.
    Trying is the 1st step towards failure

    Air guns are legal and allowed here, but my country doesnt like it being legal.
    I cant take the gun anywhere without packaging, and cant shoot in a area thats public, where everyone can come. Even in the middle of a desert so to speak.

    Im not really looking to shoot animals alot, since i am an animal lover, but we do have alot crows here, and those animals steal nests of other birds, so shooting those will happen sometimes.

    And i DONT want to make the animal suffer. i want to have a instant kill.

    And about distance....well 75~100 meters would be more then enough.

    And i like shooting glass bottles, wood, and that kind of stuff.

    You guys know what gun is the best? And can someone answer the last sentence in my first post?

    Thanks

    First point: I believe it is illegal to hunt live quarry with an air rifle in your country. If you dont believe me ask a bloke called HW owner on this forum

    hwownersforum.freeforums.org • Index page

    Second point: if you want to hunt at those distances you need AT LEAST .17HMR or .22LR live ammo rifles

    There is no third point
    Weihrauch HW77K .22 (V.Mach tuned) + Nikko Mountmaster 3-9x40AO
    BSA SuperTen K .22 (JB Blueprinted) + MTC Mamba 4-16x50 RIR
    SMK VXS20 .22 (Venoman tuned, custom shrouded barrel) + Richter Optik 6x40
    SMK SYNSG .22 + Lensolux 3-9x40
    Webley Eclipse .22 + Pro Optics 4x40

    Forget bb guns. Ball bearings are simply not accurate enough to hunt with. Only pellets will suffice. The best of the guns you have listed there will hunt out to 40m at the very best in the hands of an experienced shooter. 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.

    You may not care but we do as UK shooting is constantly under threat and comments such as that on a UK based board are ammo for the antis here. It's exceptionally easy for them to quote you without referring to your country of origin.

    I do believe that you certainly need some help. Now it is realistic that we establish some knowledge of your needs. It would be highly inappropriate to offer too much assistance, if , for example you where a fellon. Could you give more details about yourself. That would be admirable.
    Just as a side note. Do you have red lurts common to the Netherlands? It isn't a common creature in the UK, though it is found in the county of Lincolnshire.
