I want to get Hubbs a good beginner big bore airgun for his b-day. We are both retired military and both hunt big/small game with powder ammo. Hubbs has expressed interest in airgun for hunting pronghorn, or mountain goat at a range of 175-max 250 yards.
1: Is this yardage realistic?
2: For pronghorn, a moderator or suppressor is probable necessary. Is this possible?
3: I am thinking in the .45 caliber range. Is this valid?
4: For a scope I am looking a the Element Hyper 7 from Element optics. Any thoughts?
5: My working range is 1K ish.
6: Can I have it professionally dialed in? So it’s ready to go for 250-500 rounds practice.
7: Would it need to be re-dialed in after that many rounds before hunting with it?
