is a gamo air gun have good accuracy for shooting targets and squirrels?
350668
Yes.  Make sure you have the type that shoots 1000 fps if you are hunting squirrels.  .22 caliber helps for hunting, too.   If you can't kill with one shot, it just becomes cruel.\n\nWith a halfway decent scope, you can have great accuracy.  Some folks say gamo isn't up to the level of beeman or RWS.  They are right, but for the price, gamo is ok.

most of the answers you have been given are correct. i worked in a very high volume gun shop for years and have personally owned well over a hundred firearms. most of the rifles being in the 30 caliber class. you just said deer hunting, if that is the largest game you will be hunting a 308 is plenty. and as far as the people saying the 308 is flatter shooting. that is also very true. and commercially available loads are readily available for the 308 just for extreme accuracy. if you go with a 308 try factory remingtons loaded with a 168 grain hollow point boat tail. 168HPBT is how it will be described. if you load youre own you can get just as much accuracy from the 30-06. i shot many over the years and it also has advantages. the long range competions at military ranges have relied on experienced shooters able to handle the recoil of a 30-06. but if you are never shooting more than 150 yards and deer will be the largest game you intend to hunt a 308 is plenty. i got hooked on 30-06 from the older military guys. i have to admit that a garand is a very pleasant rifle to fire. both cartridges are great. when i shot 30-06 i always reloaded and there are so many options it is mind boggling. i loaded everything from 95 grain plinker loads using bullseye pistol powder to 230 grain full house loads that would just about dislodge my shoulder. to get back to youre question again, you mostly say target shooting and amature competition. then a heavy barrel is the best choice. and i dont know if you have youre mind set on remington for a certain reason but money wise there are better choices for accuracy versus money. and im not just blowing smoke out of my butt. i have owned well over a hundred firearms and have fired atleast a thousand different configurations. so i am slightly biased from my own experiences. remington manufactures great arms but for very accurate target shooting and competition you will notice that a bolt action rifle is usually used. and i have to say that savage arms is the best for the money. i have owned browning and ruger and remington bolt action heavy barrels. but the savage rifles have always been more accurate. i have a savage model 110 fp in 308 that i can pick off crows at 200 yards easy. i believe the new version is called a model 10, they shortened the action. and my savage 112 bvss in 30-06 is a rifle i could never part with. shooting hand loads with 168 grain sierra hpbt and pre fired remington brass. i have had many times groups well under .500. my most accurate load is pre fired remington brass neck sized with a cci # 200 primer and a charge of49.3 grains of IMR 4064 powder followed by a sierra 168 grain hpbt set at an oal of 3.292. but every rifle is different but that works perfect for me. if youre just going deer hunting get a basic plain jane rifle. even an inch of target isnt a big deal in that situation. but if you really want accuracy i have already gave you my opinion. i think the 308 or 30-06 are both great choices. and the ammo is readily available for both given they are military cartridges, surplus ammo just for plinking and having fun is available cheap. and on the fun side is really neat to buy surplus military ss-209 , 223 rounds and pull the bullets and load them in sabots which i believe are still available.if not i have gobs of them i bought years ago and would be willing to sell some.  a 223 with a steel penetrator in a sabot comes out of a 30 caliber about 3700 fps. it will go right through an inch of solid steel. i hope i was of some help.

I had never seen the Sierra 125gr bullet in 243/6mm that the previous answerer is referring to.\n\nBerger makes a 115gr bullet (these are match bullets, not hunting bullets)\n\nSierra makes a 107 gr (again a match bullet, not hunting).\n\nA number of companies makes 105 gr. bullets.  Speer makes a Hot-Cor one that is good for hunting.  Hornady makes one in their A-Max series.  Lapula mades a 105gr. hollow point (not sure if this bullet is match or hunting).  Again, Berger makes a 105 gr. match.\n\nJust because a bullet is a match bullet, doesn't mean it can't be used for hunting, it just means that it is not constructed for hunting.  Many a deer have fallen to match bullets (especially the Sierra MatchKings).\n\nI am not aware of any loaded ammo for a 243 Win that has bullets over 100 gr.  I believe any ammo with 100+ grain bullets need to be handloads.\n\nIf you want a decent list of .243/6mm bullets, check out:\n\nhttp://www.midwayusa.com/ebrowse.exe/browse?TabID=1&Categoryid=7241&categorystring=9315***652***675***9016***\n\nMidway isn't the cheapest, but their prices are good and they have a great selection.

There is an American-made airsoft copy of a General electric minigun. It shoots at a rate of 1800 rounds per minute.\n\nOf course it costs six thousand dollars.....\n\nBut it's probably the best.\nOk, I know you can't afford that... \nBut do a video search for "airsoft minigun", and check it out anyway. They have a two minute or longer vid of a minigun  disintergrating a television set. WOW.\n\nBest there is, man.

Yes. Uncle Sam needs you. If you can hit a rabbit from that range, sniping would be a piece of cake.

I have found for my gun which is a mossberg 500 slugster that rifled federals work the best.  I have had problems with winchesters. they jammed up my gun.  Don't use sabots unless you have a rifled barrel

remington 870 pump, it's very versatile.  it can be yours for the low price of around $250.  you can hunt just about anything common in north america.  deer, quail, doves, turkey, pheasant, ducks, clays, etc.

Depends on where your hunting, in a wooded area I would want a .30-30, .270 is supposed to be pretty good, I use a .30-06

get an airgun scope by Daisy from walmart.  they're less than $20.  don't use a conventional rifle scope.  happy hunting.

The RWS model 34 would be a great choice...RWS makes high quality precision air guns...For $230 you will have, not only a great practice rifle but one that your son will use for a lifetime and then hand down to his son...\n\nMy personal favorite is the Feinwerkbau(FWB) 124D but, they are long out of production and the owners of these are very proud of them...It is possible to still find one one every now and again on http://www.gunbroker.com or http://www.gunsamerica.com if money is no object this is one heck of a rifle...Maybe the finest rifle of any type ever, almost Olympic match grade accuracy in a sporting air rifle, and it's built to last several life times, the maintenance calls for one drop of oil after the first six million rounds...\n\na couple of places to check air rifle prices\nhttp://www.airgunwarehouseinc.com\nhttp://www.pyramidair.com\n\nfor information on air guns\nhttp://www.beeman.com\n\nLook into the Ruger 10/22 when you feel he's ready...

I agree with sturno and bigd.  The Remington 870 is one of the most versatile shotguns in the world.  it does everything the fancy European shotguns can do, and it costs a lot less.  I use my 12 guage Remington expressmag for everything from hunting turkeys to geese, ducks, quail, chuckars and pheasants.  The most important thing for turkey hunting is to select a very tight choke.  when its time to hunt turkeys i simply unscrew my modified choke and screw in my turkey choke.  Load it up with some 3 inch heavyshot shotgun shells and you have yourself a lethal turkey killing machine!  Good luck!\n\n*another thing about turkey hunting:  its really important that you learn to call properly.  most of the time when you are turkey hunting you will want to call them to you.  Box calls are great for beginers, but a mouth diaphram can be really effective once you get the hang of it.  Buy yourself an instructional vidio that goes over the diffent calls that turkeys make.  practice at home before turkey season starts and you will have a huge advantage.

Good hunting rifle, available in many calibers.  Can be quite accurate, some top-notch, some just okay (but usually very good).  Company is still in business.  Parts available if anything breaks.  Like most Savage rifles it can have its barrel switched easily to other calibers.  Custom parts available (better triggers, scopes, new stocks, etc.)\n\nEarlier answer was odd but he's right BE SAFE FIRST.  Always know what you are shooting at, don't point it at anyone (ever!), make sure there is a backstop when shooting for fun, etc.

The smart aleck answer is "It depends on where the squirrel is."  But--if you're serious...\n\n\nIf you shoot it in the head, you don't damage any meat.

I'm not impressed with the .223 round. No recoil, all-plastic can't beat a bad guy with it if you need to. When I'm firing my weapon I disassociate from my emotions, but my Peacemaker does have a little kick, had a Glock .40 kicked worse than my .45 so I sold it. My 1911 I can hit just about anything

People like easy targets. It's a little like shooting fish in a bucket.

AK-47's are nice weapons. So are Air to Air missiles! America does it too, so don't complain.

Yes it is a very reliable and accurate gun.
