They've been a sorta continuous updating on the state of the art. My nephew has also gotten into some of the serious hardware in .25's and up, as well as the new pressures and propellants. Once in a while, too, you see an article on the the builders who create actual big-bore stuff and impressive 'air' velocities. Airgun Depot seems to a source for what is nearly 'the special' of the day. At any rate, given local ammo costs in many places, and less places to just plink; a decent underlever, fixed barrel, possibly with an airgun-resistant scope.......22 airgun can be had pretty reasonably. I used to laugh at the Krauts in FRG with their dinky little 'airpower shooting clubs'.....but what goes around comes around, apparently. Hmmmmmm....lessee...bigger bore, more velocity, good optics, 'quiet report' thingys'. I guess Ol' Beeman did sorta see the future...
