HAM’s Best Airgun Buyers Guides 2021 – You Vote!
HAM publishes some of the best airgun buyers guides available. You – our readers – make this one of the most popular areas of Hard Air magazine. Thank you!
But which are the best airgun buyers guides, in your opinion? Here we’ll review the top ten most popular HAM buyers guides of 2021, as chosen by the number of times they have been read. Here’s the summary, then let’s look further in detail…
Number One – Most Accurate .177 Caliber Pellets
Your vote for best airgun buyers guide 2021 was for our analysis of the most accurate .177 caliber pellets. By comparing the results from HAM’s consistent airgun test reviews, this post gives you a big head start on finding the most accurate pellet for your .177 caliber air rifle.
There’s separate sections for both piston and PCP air rifle accuracy.
In fact – as you can see – this was actually one part of the major accuracy review published by HAM in 2020. You’ve also been reading the other parts of this series, as we can see next…
Number Two – Most Accurate .22 Caliber Pellets
Yes, Part Four of the Big HAM Accuracy Test series covered .22 caliber pellets. And that was the second most popular of our airgun buyers guides. Again, Muzzle Velocity played a major part in on-target accuracy, as you can read in this post.
Number Three – The Best Caliber For Airgun Hunting
This guide was written back in 2015 by the late Derek Goins. Yet it’s still a valid and popular analysis of the traditional airgun calibers for field use. (Not big bore, that is).
Covering .177, .20, .22 and .25 calibers, Derek used them all and gives practical suggestions and gives his own favorite small game hunting caliber. It may surprise you!
Four – The Best Breakbarrel Hunting Air Rifle
In this buyers guide, we see how a range of breakbarrel spring/piston air rifles compare for hunting use. There’s also a surprise entry at the end!
Even though this guide was published as recently as December 2019, we can see some of the rapid changes that are happening in the airgun industry.
The outstanding SIG SAUER ASP20 is already only available as a secondhand purchase. While the Nova Freedom is still available, it’s now sold by Air Venturi and called the Seneca Aspen.
