    Well after watching some predator nation today. They were hunting hogs with a .357 airgun with pretty good results. Just got me thinking about all this political crap going on right now if these large bore airguns will start becoming more popular in the hunting world ? Because if there is a attack on our 2nd amendment rights airguns and bows might be the only means for hunting left in America. Just food for thought, let me hear what all you guys think.

    On a side note that .357 airgun was pretty impressive, blowing a 170 gr bullet at almost a 1000fps.

    It's popular in England. I've shot in a few air rifle competitions, their accuracy is simply amazing. However, I still want my smokeless powder.

    Wow! That is sweet I'd love to know where to pick up one of those bad boys . I love shooting airguns I have a pretty sweet Stoeger I picked up last year. A blast to shoot very powerful and truly a tack driver

    Thats the most popular one. Pretty pricy to say the lease lol.

    As for the question of this post, I hope Im long gone by the time it comes to that, but Im sure its possible. Pretty sure they will take these from us too if they went that far already.

    Yeah would be a fun thing to have for sure. There used to be a cheaper brand but I couldn't find them when I posted that link. They were ugly and not quite as good of reviews, but had a bunch of different calibers and were closer to the $500 range.

    They look ugly but who cares if they shoot that fast.

    I'm not even sure why he thinks the OP needs a dictionary??? I'm not seeing any dictionary worthy errors. Maybe I need a dictionary too???
