>>2541282You can own airguns in the vast majority of Europe. Half the advantage is laws, the other half is that they're quiet, cheap to shoot and are generally pretty safe to hunt within areas where other people might be about.
Legality obviously plays into it but its not the only reason you'd hunt with an airgun.
>>2541310There are advantages but if you're hunting with an airgun you're doing it to airgun hunt for the challenge.
Also, refilling a dive tank is not expensive or difficult, it costs a fiver generally once you have the tank
>>2541520That'll depend massively on your guns tank size/muzzle energy, see
>>2541523>>2541577>Then you need to find someone who will fill it obviously.Incredibly easy to do.
> air bottle for 300-400€.I don't know where you live but I can get a 3 or 5L dive tank for half that cost which is good for more refills than you could possibly need in one day of shooting.
Quoting shot counts without context is pretty useless.
>>2541612I don't tend to say this about airguns but that is a toy, good for plinking but i'd never take one out to shoot anything living.
>>2541695Good post. One thing though, you can use a pump and a scuba tank interchangeably, if it can be pumped you can use a scuba on it and visa versa.
>>2548674>my priority is accuracy up to maybe around 80 yards (73 meters)>Are there any decent options that can be bought brand new for under $120 USD or so?I don't have shitloads of air pistol experience but I'd suggest giving up on hoping for accuracy out to 73 meters with them.
For what you want you actually would be better getting a rimfire pistol. But even then I'd question accuracy out to 73m on your budget.
>>2554516My father bought gamo when he was getting started. The thing was useless, don't know if it was just a lemon or something but even after being re-barreled it still didn't shoot well.
>>2556294They were talking about spring guns anon, no one is using 1 piece mounts in the way you're suggesting
