Title: What is the hardest kicking .177 AG you have shot?
Post by: BowerR64 on December 07, 2015, 04:21:38 AM
Im wondering what the hardest kicking (edit: .177) AG rifle out there is?

Are magnum springers harder kickers then others? magnum meaning 800+ fps

Of the guns i have the B3 ranks up there as far as kick IMO

edit: to change the caliber to .177 only

Benjamin trail XL725 kicks like a mule! Get consistent with one of these and shooting anything else becomes easier

I put one of these--http://vortekproducts.com/ourstore/airgun%20Springs/OEM%20Springs?product_id=172 in my Diana 350 and it is easily the hardest kicking AG I've shot.  Twang-free, but plenty recoil.

Looks like my link didn't take.  It's the 350 spring with the tophat and larger wire size.

Gamo Varmint Hunter HP 1400, It gave me blood blister on my ring finger. I have had 4 coils removed to bring it to 745 FPS with 10.5 g CPH and it still broke a scope. looks like another coil has to go. :)

Gamo BCBW really caught me off guard first time I shot it!

Four years, back, when we were just getting back into AGs, we picked up a Benjamin Nitro XL in 177 that had an advertised velocity of 1500 fps. In fact, I remember seeing something to that effect on the gun. First shot told me I had made a mistake, not just from the kick, but also the noise. It was honestly as loud as some our our 22 LR rifles. Worked with that gun for 6 months, using progressively heavier pellets to tame it, but the gun never did settle in and shoot with any consistency, no matter what hold I tried. Sold it. Very unpleasant gun to shoot. My mistake for buying into the hype about gas rams being softer shoot, though, of course, that one was not a typical gas ram. Have heard the new NP2 series is much improved.

Springer is a 22 caliber HW95. John in PA install a HO Vortek kit. It was shooting around 19 fpe with H+N 21 grain pellets. After a couple of months I sent it back to John to be detuned because it was so hold sensitive it was no fun to shoot .

PCP is a Edgun R3 30 caliber. 80 fpe makes a light weight bullpup kick.

My Hatsan 135 and Beeman Mach 12.5.  The 470th, 155 and Silent Cat run a close second. All of them .177 and I love'em all.

      D-460 in 22 is the hardest kicking I own. Great for G-Hogs. 60 yds no problem.

Dang i should of posted hardest kicking .177, im sure if there were 2 guns identical one being a .25 and one being a .177 the .25 would kick more because of the heavier projectile.

My .177 D460 probably kicks the hardest of my springers but I have a few PB's that are magnitudes more recoil wise

Same here. The 350 is more gun than I wanted to keep. First air gun to make my shoulder sore. CP ultra-mag, 10.5gr  1065 fps.

There's a reason scopes get torn up so much on springers.  :P

.177 Hammerli Titan....from the same family as the TechForce.  I still haven't found a pellet she likes...although the heavier the better.  Shooting at 2"x 1"x 1/2" thick pieces of wood at 20 yards...she knocks them back double the distance compared to my other springer air rifles.  Sometimes even split them.

Mine is my .177 NP2, by far strongest recoil of about 20 airguns (of any caliber) I own.

Diana 460 in .177 cal .... WAY TOO MUCH power in an attempt to shoot a small caliber pellet.

My daughter's Daisy Cub BB gun is the jumpiest springer in the house, with minimal weight and a hardy spring.
As far as "real" rifles, I had a Diana 48 in .177 that would rattle my teeth in a most unpleasant way.

Scott 99% + I will agree with what you post but with heavier pellets the D460  .177 is both accurate and effective out to 50 yards. I do  agree that it is probably easier to master in .22

Post by: johnnyfoos on December 08, 2015, 07:17:45 PM
Every single break barrel I've ever shot
Including a couple of side and under levers
BUT, I am comparing this to compressed air guns
I love being able to watch as the pellets put holes thru what I'm aiming at,
no matter how I hold it or point it !

Yea, the 13XX that started all this has cost me a lot but the fun  is all in and worth it.

I have a Turkish made Daisy Powerline 1000 that kicks like a mule. It's bear to cock on top of that. I will shoot about 20 times and call it a day. :P

If I was to say, I would say the RWS 48.
I think it so because of the stock design.
My R1 puts out more power but the stock fit is perfect...
