The crazy thing is who wants to spend $250 on an air gun?? ;D   They are way cool...... ;D
If you ever get a chance to shoot one you will be saving I promise!!! :)  Having a legal rifle that is almost silent and never needs to cleaned..WOW!  You can practise shoot in your backyard anytime with a safe back drop. I doubt Ill be using my old .22cal rimfire's much in the future small game hunting.

    I had one of those.  I think its still up in my parents attic...  Do the make a seal kit for them cus it wouldnt pump up any more...
yes Thats what I did to mine they said to store it with a pump or two in it and the seal will stay fresh. I got it for under 20 bucks maybe 15

that is true, ive seen airguns well past the 500$ mark...i could buy a Winchester for that haha

$500?  Shoot, a guy at one of my local shops has one that was north of $1,000!   :o  Shot it the other day and wow is all I can say!  I shot his Benjamin Maruader as well and it quickly found a spot on my wish list!  This youtube vid is of someone shooting cans at 200 meters with one of the Weihrauch's.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMCiMk6w_wU&feature=fvst

Bought one of those at a tool sale a few years ago! It was junky and not very accurate at all! :-\

Remember Lewis and Clark took a air rifle on their trip up the Missouri for game hunting.  Here is a link to hunting with big bore airguns..http://www.airgundepot.com/big-bore-article.html
