Greeting,
New to the forum, obviously. I try not to post stuff like this on forums, but had no idea how many variables there were in the airgun world. I am a bit of a prepper nerd and I hunt a lot. I also really enjoy general shooting sports, but the cost of ammo (amongst other things) have lead me down the airgun path. I am looking for a rifle and pistol. Really looking at the 1377 and Hatsun 95 in .22. Here is where/why...
1. looking for a pair that is back yard friendly.
2. Would like the pistol in .177 and the rifle in .22.
3. The pistol will be for dispatching small game, shooting rats, and target practice.
4. The rifle will be used for hunting small game and the above.
5. I like the idea of having one in .177 due to the readily availability of pellets
6. Not opposed to something in a greater caliber than .22, but buying/finding the pellets or molding my own seems like a bit more than I want to get into.
Am I on track? I really want something of quality that can grow with me a bit. The 1377 seems a bit on the cheap end, but there seems to be some really cool mods and aftermarket support. I am super attracted to the Hatsan for reports of high quality, and accuracy. I really want something that is going to last a long time, and not be dependent on a special hand pump, refilling tanks, or C02.
