Big Bore AIr guns
« on: February 05, 2010, 06:36:37 PM »
Any body see the guy testing his Compressed air Rifles?
Fired a 44mag bullet with air at 50 yds, Took a pronghorn down with one at 100+ yds  Wow!!!  
Full size rifle, Reworked to Hold air, Single Shot Bolt. with regular Rifle Bore Calibers.  
And the Noise was not that Bad. The recoil looked average.
I wonder how long before we can hunt yotes,Deer and other species with out Igniting a Powder charge of some kind.

 No waiting required - People have been hunting with air rifles for quite some time now...
