In my case.... I will keep my RWS 350 magnum.... it is my heaviest air rifle after add to it 2 pounds

 in the stock for a perfect  balance ....  but.... it is a very accurate killer.... until 60 yards.

Preys to hunt: GREEN IGUANAS!!!

I think I'd go with the Benjamin "Blue Streak" .20 cal pumper I bought new  43 years ago when I was 12.  To this day that rifle is laser accurate and just as powerful as it was on day 1.  No main spring to break like a springer rifle....... no need for scuba tank or hand pump like a PCP..... just pump her up for each shot and shoot.   Nice and simple and when it comes to survival simple and effective is the way to go.

My .177 Gamo Viper...very accurate out to 50, 60 yards.  Not too heavy but heavy enough so it don`t sway around while off-hand shooting.  If it wasn`t for the weight I would choose my .177 Hammerli Titan....my most powerful springer...and accurate too.

Agreed, 350 magnum. Unless I screw up the shot, what ever I aim at is toast. I have only confirmed kills out to 35 yards. But after the murder of a 16 oz amped energy drink at 55 yards I think I can effectively whack grackle out to that range.

Let's see... now if I'm gonna be living off squirrels, desert chicken and varmints I'm sticking with the gas rammed BSA SuperSport.  It's a .177 but unGodly accurate for 14 fpe gun.  That's the go-to within my current stable.  Wishful thinking:  An Evanix Rainstorm.22 cal as much as I admire Jeff's choice!

Don't go thinking this is my 5th post on the forum.  I've been around much longer under TexasShooter72.  I'm just not in Texas anymore!

Iwould keep my .50 cal., briefly.



I will use my .50 cal air gun hopefully only once... to take a big honking firearm from someone else. There will be a lot of bad and desperate people. If it is end of the world survival conditions, I want something more than an airgun. So I would take the biggest one I have to "leverage" a pump 12 or something in that league, and work my way up from there.



Now if I am squared away in the self-defense department, and then get one airgun to put food on the table, I might take the RWS34 Panther, or the Cometa 400. I think a reliable break barrel springer would give good service for many years, and I can basically keep it running. The Sheridan is tempting but a little loud, and I couldn't maintain one as easily if a seal goes or something.

If it will  actually be the "End of the World",   you won't need any air guns or anything else.    Just bend over and kiss your, you  know what goodbye.
