Anyone switching to airguns?
OK, I keep thinking about (and I should just buy one to stop obsessing) a Benjamin Marauder "Precharged pneumatic" rifle, probably in .22 (.177 sounds fun too, but apparently it's louder than the .22 due to the sonic boom)
I hear it's very quiet and about as accurate as a .22, though without the range of course.
The downside is that a fricken air pump for the thing is like $200 ! But considering the current cost of .22lr ammo, that's making more sense now.
I almost feel like it's deciding to buy an electric car because gas is too expensive!
Anyone switch OR add to their stable with an air rifle?
I ask here because obviously people who love rimfire probably appreciate a good air gun.
And YES, I think this is a dupe of a thread I started a year or two ago! But things have changed and ammo cost is now a factor (even though I have 9k of .22 left)
