a super accurate .177 is all most people need just for all around target shooting... once u get past a 22 call air gun... might as well go to a 22 rimfire..

The .177 is my favorite backyard plinker and pester, my only .177 is a Huntsman which helps me like it even more! I also enjoy the .22 and .25 calibers, I don't see myself ever owning a .30.

I have grown up with the .177 due to restrictions. Today I got a license for 22 and 25 both FX impacts . I have taken down a lot games with my .177 still puts on the barrel for plinking or close range pesting . But nothing can compare with the slug in 22 for longer ranges . I hope fx will make the hybrids in 177. Could be a nice combination.

I love .177. Have my Leshy set up with .177. I run it hot though. Also have a Compatto in .177. The compatto is insanely quite. Both are great for small game and pesting.

I have my Thomas and 2 Taipan Veterans in .177 and I am a very happy airgunner. The larger calibers I just don't shoot alot and .177 is really all I need for FT shooting and shooting in my backyard.

as air guns keep getting bigger and bigger... the 177 just keeps doing it for me.... my raw bm500 is the most accurate irrifle ive ever seen used at 50 yards and under..
I do have an air arms limited edition in .22 that seems to be more accurate at 100 yards... but for the most part most air guns don't shoot 100 yards much..
that's where a 177 comes in.

30 foot pound ...177 with heavy pellets can do things well at long range too and it will give the bigger cals a run for the money accuracy wise. if you can get slugs and pile drivers and jsb 16 grain running at 900 fps.. 150 yards is doable for target shooting.

I’m into .177. .22 and 30fpe are just about the max for my home range. Most of what I have are .177. Here are a couple .177 PCPs. One is tuned to 12 fpe and the other 15 fpe. I don’t need any more than that for what I do.

Shooting slugs out of my Daystate Red Wolf .177 HP and is getting around 36 FPE and the accuracy is good at 100 meters (110 yards)
3 shots and they are 16 mm apart - just over 1/2 an inch

I really like my 17 caliber marauder, very accurate and a lot of take down power. All my shooting has been done under 50 yards to date.
