Thread: Air rifle hunting pics

Went looking through at some of my old airgun hunting pics for you guys to bring this thread back to life.


A couple of Rabbits shot with the Cometa Fenix and a Hare shot with the BSA HV Sportsman both in .22cal




Boris the Rusky out doing his job.


This one is a custom built PCP by a friend of mine for me, Its .30cal and shoots at 46fpe. Grunty little thing!



These 2 are custom Crosman 2250's that I have built up, co2 powered bolt action rifles which are very modifiable!




This beast is a Korean Evanix AR6 Hunting Master. Its a 6 shot revolver style action PCP rifle in .22 cal shooting at around 60fpe! Took many many pests with that rifle!

A few from a little walk last night with the boy







This Plover was a beauty head shot at about 80m

About to have another session on a small orchard/ life sentence block. Got 24 bunnies there last Thur in ~45mins

One down hopefully many more of the destructive little roof invading bastards to go

Yup, starlings sure are persistent and can take some hunting skills to catch them out.

Got back home at 6.20 having been back out to the bunny place. Took a mate out with his .177 PCP, a -super accurate- single shot one. His is certain death to bunnies under ~35yds if he has a rest. Between us, we bettered last week's tally in an hour but a much higher proportion of smaller ones this time. Smiles all round

Hey @Mintie what brand is that rifle with the wood stock? I have some starling problem but its a no shotgun area. Range would be 30-60 yds so I thought maybe an accurate precharged would do the job.

our Starlings appear to be retarded and have little fear of man or cats.....easy pickings and mostly shot at under 10 meters

Not round here Danny. They get constant harassment on our life sentence block and know they need to keep a good 100m away. Even then, I've nailed quite a few. Same applies to maggies.

Thats an Edgun Matador R3m in .22, It would be the perfect tool for Starlings and would knock them over out past 150m with the right shooter.

Wanted to resurrect this thread again a little with some pics from a recent hunt.

The Crosman 2240 is a very versatile platform for modding, this one has been changed out to .25 cal and had all of the internals tuned up - it now gives 3 times the original power output at 18fpe.









This one is a Zbroia Kozak PCP in .22 running at 31fpe

And a couple more from other random hunts

Nice job mintie, I shall post some up next time I go out with the cometa.

I'm liking this thread! Currently in the market for the PCP for around the house etc. There are a few rifles in here I hadn't looked at.

Where would you go to buy a good quality PCB and what sort of $$ are they??

From what I've found, there are a few retailers in NZ. Prices from $1k to +$3k
