   Hey guys , seems like I have done the full loop. Obtained my FAL 5 years ago but have circled back around to air rifles again haha. 

So I brought a air rifle from gun city to deal with the rabbits that are unshootable because of house that are built up around us.
I went to gun city with the intention of buying a Air chief in .22 and maybe modifying it to handle the bunnies but had in the back of my mind the fact that I woudnt use it much and storing it with the co2 cartridge in it.

I ended up walking out with a BSA comet red devil and a gamo scope 3-9-40.
The salesman made it a great deal and i got it for $470.

I zeroed it at 10 meters and shot a rabbit last night with it so pretty happy.

My question is , has anyone had one of these air rifles and had any problems with them ?
I know its too late to ask now that ive brought it but it is what it is lol.

Im going to start getting back into air rifles again I feel as it was great fun to sight in again and shoot.

Would like to buy a PCP but  they are expensive to set up !'
Anyways thanks for reading.

	As long as there is lead in the air...there is hope.

	I've never had one, but my theory is if you can hit a bottle cap consistently at 25 m you're doing good. Just keep an eye on the scope mounts, that they aren't slowly creeping due to recoil. Draw a pencil witness mark on action and mount to see if it moves over time, otherwise as i'm sure you know, find a pellet it likes.
