As the title says, I'm new to the forum and come from Robeson county NC. I've been enjoying air rifles since I was 13 but am looking to take the next step. I wanna start hunting with them. The one that I have that is still able to shoot isn't strong enough to take out anything bigger then a bird. I'm looking for something that can take out something rabbit size, maybe a bit bigger. I've had my eye on the Crosman Optimus and was wondering if anyone had any opinions on it? It's tied between that and the Gamo Hornet. I've only heard good things about both but I'm leaning toward the Optimus because it looks better to me with the wood stock. Anybody have experience with these 2 rifles? Thanks!
