exactly...with an air rifle your talking SMALL game: squirrels, rabbits, pigeons, pheasants that sort of thing. anything larger than that your talking FAC.

100% with you on this Bigpaul.

Its all very well people wanting to take larger game, but how realistic is it?

One or two people on this forum have access and experience enough to take larger game.

We very rarely see larger game animals, and never are they in reliable shooting range even of a FAC rifle. But we see heaps of small game that can be harvested with an air rifle (10-40 meters). After a melt down, small game will come to us, we will be able to harvest it with relatively quiet methods.

Large game hunting is wishful thinking for the majority of us.
