   Hi all

A newbie to the form but I have been shooting Air Rifles for a few years now, mostly for controlling the rabbit population around here.

My gun safe contains:
Hammerli 850 .177 CO2 with Hawke Vantage 4*12 40mm scope.
Umarex Octance Elite .22 with Mikko AirKing 4*12 42mm scope.
Air Arms TX200 MkIII .22 with Hawke AirMax compact 4-12 44mm scope.

The Octane Elite is a bit of a recoil monster and likes to break scopes but it can drop a rabbit at 80m if I can hold it steady enough.
