Even easier over here. During the buy back over here the blue brigade had 2 or 3 data breaches where fal owners details were available to anyone and just recently firearms owners records were taken from a disused police station. Cant wait for the register and i bet the crims cant either given how secure our details are kept....
Worst thing is these are only the ones we know about...

The accuracy of modern air-rifles has me considering one as well.
It removes the variables inherent to cartridge ammunition in the case, primer, powder, neck tension, etc that are different for every shot.
You have a bullet and you have a reservoir of compressed air, very, very consistent pressure for every shot so the major variable is just in the bullet mass and shape.
Still very limited velocity, but for relatively close-range work the accuracy can be very impressive. Being stuck with subsonic, or slightly supersonic isn't great for longer distances, especially in wind.
I'm surprised they haven't started working with copper-jacketed bullets, at least I haven't seen anything yet.

Some of the more powerful airguns in 38cal and 50cal get impressive for what they are too.

this one made it to Australia at one point as I saw an ad in a shop at some point.

These are just the ones on my Corporate Licence so only used for work. I haven't listed my personal ones which are for play (and occasional work).

The air rifles include two Weihrauch that are stupidity accurate. One has shot well over 2000 birds over the past couple of months. Oh, forgot the Henry .22. Cant pick a favorite as it depends on my mood.

Other than the open sighted old Lithgow .22 rifles, all rifles are scoped with Leopold, Ziess or Nightforce.

Thanks mate, the collection is always changing. I wouldn’t say I’m a CZ/Brno fan but they make the European style rifles that stand out to me. Also I don’t buy hunting rifles without iron sights as a rule so I’m limited in my options. But they just work and are great value.

I’ve had the 602 for about a year now and will probably end up using it as a base for a custom rifle. It was made a couple of months after I was born (1990 build) but as it goes with the larger bore stuff it hasn’t been fired much in its past life.

I'm pretty sure they have done,but really whats the point ? Lead is cheaper and seems more than accurate enough for the limited range an air rifle can humanely be used

You can see my current list below.

Happy with what I have - but will likely let the Hornet go and replace with a pig/fallow/red caliber. 270 / 7mm08 / 308.

Would love a light and short low recoil srub gun as well - but that will make it 6.

Likely swap out the 20 for a 12 gauge at some stage. Just for ammo availability as I don’t reload shot shells.

Dream about having a sidearm in 357 or 44 - but reality says no.
