NICE Air Rifles...

[The Glockodile]

Are there any air rifles made to the same level of detail as the Anschutz Olympic rifles, but with a more "traditional" hunting layout?

To make a crude analogy - what're some good air rifle counterparts to the Blaser hunting rifles?

For what uses? PCP or Springer. Range? Caliber etc.

Air Arms has a pretty wide portfolio of excellent products. Weihrauch as well.

Here are two of my Air Arms spring guns. A TX200 and a ProSport. They are fairly traditional and are gorgeous in bluing and wood.

Forgot to add, budget? You can have a very nice Weihrauch spring gun for 500ish from there the sky is kinda the limit.

Here is a thread where I take the TX200 out to 50 yards. Keep in mind my personal skill level with a spring gun drops off prodigiously after about 35 yards or so, so I would expect the gun to mechanically shoot better with a better nut behind the trigger.

Sky’s the limit.

In between Target Shooting and maybe Critter Hunting every now and then.

I quite forgot that there were different ways of charging them...

A .177 “Springer” would be nice.

Something like this?

Available in .22, .25 & .30.

Multiple shot magazine, capacity varies from 13 to 18 based on caliber. Shots per fill vary from 45 to 145 based on caliber.

Comes with two different length barrels that the user can select based on application and/or preference. You can also buy additional barrels/magazines in different calibers and change calibers without having to unmount the scope.

All that can be yours for a mere $2200.

If thought I might hunt with it, I would choose a .22 at least.

I'll second the Air Arms TX200. I used to shoot NRA Indoor 4-Position Smallbore and had an Anschutz (older Match 54)... I don't think much compares to their quality and engineering but the Air Arms TX200 I have is pretty close!

Might want to look at Daystate Regal. Like the TX200 and Prosport, it is a work of art.

PCP does open up another world of shooting and there are several companies who make some amazing stuff that is also gorgeous like the above mentioned Daystate.

Just keep in mind thar PCP guns require a way to fill them. (High pressure hand pump, high pressure compressor or dive/carbon fiber bottle.). Keep in mind high pressure means 3500-4500 PSI not a 120 PSI shop compressor.

Also keep in mind PCP guns are a bit like shooting with cheat mode enabled. They have nominal recoil unless you are pushing a really big pill and for some that nominal recoil and mostly great triggers make shooting …….. well kinda boring at times.

Don’t get me wrong I like my PCP’s but for me personally I always find my way back to a nice spring gun. YMMV of course.
