Our air gun laws dont have any limit on power , only that pcp air guns are to be treated as a normal fire arm in that you must have a firearm license , or be in the immediate company of a license holder when using or transporting pcp air guns and must be stored as per firearms . Any one over 18 may own or possess a normal springer and if under 18 must have firearm license ....which you cant get till your 16. I have a nitro sprung underlever , all polished up inside , charlie trigger ......easily nails starlings at 40-50m , groups around an inch at 50m with regular pellets .🙂
Sometimes I talk to myself ... and we both have a good laugh

Hello, there are different laws, here it is forbidden for us to hunt with those weapons, in any case, I do not hunt ...
The Charlie Datuna trigger was very good on my Gamo, until I discovered Weihrauch and his Rekord trigger, On pcp, I have an edgun and several FX, although I have had several, I would not mind having an air-arms 400s again .. .

We are going thru firearm law reform after some #ucking Australian came over here and shot the place up, so Im deciding wether to sell up my arsenal as I dont hardly use them now. I would love a good pcp for sniping at birds , the Gamo is fine at the price , dont like bendy barrels, and dont really like springs either but they are working for me at the mo . 😁

I'm sorry to read that, there are more and more restrictions in that sense, I enjoy my pcps and springs, field target shooting and paper targets ...
While I can....

Hi, welcome to the forum, nice car, nice rifle, looks expensive!

I have hunted pigeons and rabbits with a break barrel air rifle (to eat), a Gamo Whisper, it's not easy, you need lots of patience.
I'm the one who leaves all those shoes in the carriageway.
