How controversial will this be.
I am a .22 fan, through and through. I've been playing around with a .177 more recently and am hugely enjoying it.
As a group we are working on building standardised equipment, all in .22 size.
However, if I had to have ONLY 1 air rifle, I would opt for a .177, simply because of the increased range. The lighter ammo is nice as well, but not a major factor.
When in a group, we're going for the .22's for many reasons, but if it was just me and I had to have just 1 rifle....I would go with .177's.
Contraversial hu?
Put it into a group scenario, and we opted for .22's for many reasons. Firstly, defence, a .22 will be a harder impact because it's a larger round. Plus the .22 will enjoy the ability to take a .177 pellet. Granted it will not be the healthiest for the air rifle, but it's an option if need be.
The .22 rounds are easier to load and are less fiddley to work with. Easier for smaller hands and larger hands to use.
But just me, alone, no wife or team, I'd go out with a .177 and bring back a bunny or 2.
