What does a regular civiliian have to do to purchase an air rifle?

There's a bird who knocks on my window who is the bane of my existence that needs to be put down.

Is it possible to borrow/loan one? or even better, can I pay someone to camp out in my yard at sunrise to shoot this brown dove right between the eyes...

I wud normally advise bird feed soaked in Lanate but then dogs and cats does eat the dead bird and die.

You could soak bird feed in puncheon and when he fall down drunk you could deal with him

Hmm. That puncheon trick would work?

It's a dumb brown dove with yellow eyes who keeps attacking his reflection every morning.

Such a thing doesn't exist bro. Because it's entirely subjective to the end user. Depends on a few factors

For what purpose? Hunting, plinking, competition, small pest control around the house?

What's your budget? You can get a cheap break barrel for about 2k, or go by a bandit in south and spend 30k..

You going PCP or spring powered?

You mechanically inclined and prefer something that you can fix/tune/modify for yourself and even make some of your own parts if necessary, or you gonna be taking it to a smithy for repairs when needed?

How you physically built? Some are MUCH heavier than others, and may or may not be able/willing to deal with the weight depending on what you using it for.

My general suggestion tho, for an all around general purpose set up that will serve well for multiple purposes, and if it's within your budget, would be the hatsan at44 platform. Comes in multiple variants, including a bullpup,
built to take licks and still work like a mule, easy-to-use, repair, adjust, not too heavy, very nice trigger out the box that can be adjusted to be even better, plenty info on tuning available online, comes stock with plenty power and user friendly features etc., and it's one of the cheaper pcp setups available locally.

Hope this helps.

Power ain't everything son. All the power in the world is useless if you can't hit what you aiming at.

Most powerful would be the Sumatra, but they known for being very inaccurate, and you will only get that at the stealership in marabella.
Next in line would be the hatsans, and you have a few models to choose from. Usually very accurate, and can be adjusted for maximum power very easily.

semiautomatic not known for power, just rapid fire.

Ain't nothing a spray and pray semiautomatic can do with 16 shots that can't be done with a normal lever action. Especially for hunting.


But to each their own.
