Big Bore Airgun addiction

I have an admission. I am addicted to Big Bore Airguns. My addiction runs the gamut from a .257 AirForce Texan to a .58 Quackenbush LA Outlaw Short Rifle.

What is it about Big Bore Airguns that have me strung out? Well, I think it’s the challenge of shooting these rifles, and achieving accuracy. The largest of my rifles have substantial recoil, and noise, and prove to be a handful when target shooting and hunting.

A gun that fires pellets using compressed air

An air gun is a rifle (air rifle), pistol (air pistol), or shotgun that fires projectiles by means of compressed air or other gas, in contrast to a firearm, which burns a propellant. Most air guns use metallic projectiles as ammunition. Some others use arrows.[1][2] Air guns that only use plastic projectiles are classified as airsoft guns.

Not a firearm but a gun that uses compressed air or CO2 to propel a projectile. Examples: BB gun, pellet gun, CO2 gun.

A loose term applied to any rifle or pistol that uses some form of compressed gas as the propellant.

Airgun and Air Rifle

Industry Brand who’s parent company Shanghai Air Gun Factory, is a company in China that is the manufacturer of the Crosman 160 Air Rifle Clone, the QB78.

I have ordered a .177 cal version of the QB78 from Mike Melick from Flying Dragon Air Rifles, based on his reputation of offering the best tune up of this rifle without extra charge. The Basic Tuneup involves taking apart the air rifle and lubing, and smoothing out imperfections, etc so that is essentially blue printed.
