    I use a .22 anslutz rifle, not air, bullets...But It is fantastic for crows, not sure about the other one.

    neither are great guns but the .177 will fly flatter than the .22 and with accurate shooting is more deadly at 12 FT/LB which is what most guns coming into Ireland are set to.

    Their for use in sheds where my .22lr is too powerful at ranges of 15-20 meters.
