Air rifles in Australia

Whether you call it an air rifle, a slug gun or a pellet gun, it needs to suit the job. Backyard plinking, rabbits and pest control, or long-range shooting all point to a different rifle.

PCP or spring?

Spring and gas-ram rifles like the Gamo Swarm are self-contained, so you just load and shoot. They're good for plinking and close pest work.

PCP (pre-charged pneumatic) rifles run on air from a tank or pump. They're quieter, more accurate and shoot further, which is why most pest shooters end up with one. Think FX Impact, FX King, FX DRS, AirMaks Katran and RTI.

Calibre and ammo

.177 is flat and cheap to shoot. .22 is the all-rounder for rabbits and pests. .25 and .30 hit harder at longer range. Pellets suit most shooting, while air rifle slugs carry better at distance in a barrel made for them.

Grab pellets and slugs, a tank, pump or compressor for your PCP, and see the full FX range. Not sure which one? Read our guide to the best air rifle in Australia, or tell us what you're shooting and we'll help you pick.
