So here it is, what caliber air rifle do you use? Those people with multiple rifles please vote for the one you use the most. Also, why is it your favourite? Feel free to tell us what rifles you have too!!!

Well congrats for when it arrives!!! Some of the most fun I have had is just punching targets with the air rifle.
I have a .22 Theoben MFR running at 28 ftlbs. It's a little ripper and so I would have to say .22 is my favourite due to it's stopping power. This may change when I get my .25......

I actually expected the .22 cal to be much higher than the .20
Hmmmm, I guess Lewis's power of persuasion might have influenced these figures....

Most of us are Lewis' customers. its not a fair comparison here as most here are more into airguns then most people.
I reckon 177's would out number 22'cals 5 to 1 and 20 cals like 50 to 1 in Aus though.

i have been an online AR junkie for sometime now and from what i have found "research" and highly considered option, that the .20 cal seems to be the "better' cal than either .177 and .22 in the majority of AR. i have shot both and know the differences between those 2 but never .20 cal, but it is still not that popular.
makes me wonder why??
especially when the demographic of this forum is as previously mentioned is in the high end of the spectrum. i would have thought more .20 AR would be around.
it would be interesting to possibly use the poll just to list all cals that people have to see the general cal breakdown over guns owned, or is that what people are doing already
just my 2cents worth

There would be more .20's if more PCP's were available in that calibre.

I own or have owned a "PCP" in .177,.20and .22 and I like them all. But the Super 12 in .20 is awesome on Silhouettes. It now belongs to my mate in Sydney. I agree with Lewis they should be more popular.
