I have the HW100 in .22, for barn pigeon control at reasonably close ranges. It is a grand rifle to use, and though heavy is incredibly accurate. It is a sub 12ft/lb model. I find chasing pigeons in barns a fine alternative to stalking, and in its own way is great fun. I have never used a FAC air rifle, but how would this fit in / be an advantage over a rimfire.
I have a CZ .22 for longer range rabbits and guess the FAC air must be for fairly specific areas, such as very hard ground where ricochets are an issue. This is not an issue for me, but had often wondered why a relativity expensive to buy and run FAC air is an advantage. I have used CCI shorts and dust/bird shot with the rimfire, to be honest with limited success, hence the air rifle!
The grounds i use the HW and CZ work well with what i am doing in their own ways. Am i right in saying that FAC air is the best tool to use, but in very restricted and specific types of shooting?
