12. The TC 35 and 45 Big Bore PCP Rifles
The TC 35 and 45 Big Bore PCPs are technically two rifles. One is in 357 and one in 45. However, the only real difference is their caliber. In fact, they operate, function, and handle identically. The TC Series by Gamo is designed for serious hunters, and the rifle looks like an actual steel big bore weapon. With a lethal range of 100 yards, these rifles are incredibly powerful and hard-hitting. The TC 45 can throw a 138-grain pellet at 900 feet per second! It can use ammunition as heavy as 3...
13. Benjamin Fortitude
Sometimes simple is better, and the Benjamin Fortitude is a simple design. It’s intuitive, easy to use, and best of all it’s affordable! The Benjamin Fortitude is a PCP-powered air gun that sports all the features shooters love about these guns. These come in either 117 or 22 caliber pellet rifles. The 117 have a 950-feet-per-second, and the 22 have a 800 FPS speed rating. The gun is a bolt action, single shot design with a well made, highly reliable 10-round rotary magazine. The Fortitude we...
Outstanding Features
The first thing that stands out is the use of a light and crisp single stage trigger. The design facilitates a constant pull, which makes it easy and accurate. Overall, the bolt action is very simple and provides a very easy to use rifle. The rifle is optics ready and the 11mm Dovetail mount is easy to use. It matches the majority of popular rifle scopes on the market today. The rotary magazine is simple but very robust and reliable. Not to mention the Fortitude itself is very quiet and very...
Powerplant
So what kind of air rifle do you want? There are different kinds of air rifles out there and they are further categorized based on their powerplants. Each offers different advantages, cost, and of course disadvantages.
Power Categories
Power categories are commonly based on the speed that a gun can move at a projectile and the muzzle energy. This is often measured in feet per second (FPS). The power rating of the air rifle dictates exactly what it is capable of doing. When buying an air rifle for say hunting, you may have a different need than buying one to train target practice with.
Caliber
Airguns have a wider variety of calibers than people actually realize. The caliber you choose commonly dictates what is done with it.
BB or Pellet?
Do you want to go pellet or BB? BB guns are more affordable and more common. The ammunition can be bought by the hundreds. This is a big consideration, are you looking for a semi-auto CO2 powered recreational shooter? Then BBs maybe for you. Air rifle pelletsare bigger and cost more but there is a reason for it. They deliver more power and are more accurate because they engage rifling. They are also more capable for more tasks. Pellets are the chosen projectile for small game hunting, competi...
Scopes and Scope Mounts
Before we dive into scopes and scope mounts, we need to address if you even want a scope. If you do not want one, then your option for airguns opens a bit. If you want an airgun scope, you need to pay attention to the gun’s ability to accept one. Some cannot accept mounts, some accept limited mounts, and some can accept almost anything.
Sights
If you don’t want a scope, you also have to check a few rifles off the list. Some rifles these days do not have iron sights and are made exclusively for scopes. Iron sights are much better for short range shooting. It also cuts the price of a scope out of the equation. But what kind of iron sights do you want? If you have a spring piston break barrel, I’d suggest sights located on the barrel. Other than that, the choice comes down to your needs. For example if you want to maximize accuracy, p...
Gamo
Gamo is the big boss when it comes to air rifles. They share the spotlight with only one other company, Crosman. Gamo produces a very wide variety of airguns which includes rifles, handguns, and even submachine guns. Their product lines are varied especially when it comes to price. A base level Gamo air rifle roughly costs $100 to $600. They range from small plinking rifles to serious hunting rifles. They produce airguns in PCP, spring, and nitro piston models. Their pistol line is almost all...
Crosman
Crosman is the other big name in air rifles. They reached this popularity by providing a wide array of airguns. It is an excellent company to start with, and also an ideal starting point for youth shooters. The Crosman Pumpmaster is probably what most pellet gun shooters start with. Crosman airguns have a firm hold in that beginner market. They produce M16 and AK clones that can be either semi-auto CO2 powered or nitro piston single shots. Crosman makes a series of impressive pistols, specifi...
Daisy
Dandy Daisy BB guns are by far the most popular and most common on the market. Their BB guns range from lever guns to pump actions, semi-automatic pistols, and competition pellet guns. The classic Daisy Lever action is a mainstay in the airgun world. Their competition guns are reportedly very well-made and accurate. This includes a unique take on a BB gun. They designed a competition BB gun, the Avanti Champion, which is known as the most accurate BB gun in the world.
Airguns are an interesting hobby. Every time you think you’ve seen it all, makers come forward and deliver something new. It is a market and hobby that is constantly changing. However, the core concepts typically stay the same. A general understanding of how airguns work and that they come in different types are the most important considerations. S...

Apr 30, 2024 · Air rifles’ projectiles don’t achieve the same velocities as regular firearms, but that doesn’t mean they can’t still be useful. Air guns are great for plinking, target shooting, small game hunting (or even medium game with a big bore air rifle), and pest control.
