What is the best rifle to shoot in a garage?
- Thread starter atwong
- Start date
All of them .25 cal and below, if you have a proper backstop. Any commercial backstop that will stop a .22 long rifle is more than adequate for an air rifle

FWB300 variant. For most garages you're probably talking 30ish feet. Roughly 10meters, which is what the FWB300 series was designed for. Offhand of course cuz @ 10 meters you've got to challenge yourself at least a little.

I shoot my FWB 601 in my garage several times each week. It’s a great 10 meter rifle and I have just about that distance across my garage.

short distance low power a single stroke pneumatic or a multi pump just use the KISS principle

Rifles just don't present much of a challenge at 10 yards or less. Pistols on the other hand are great.

The best starter garage pistol is the P17 and some RWS Diabolo Basic wadcutters. Throw a pair of old jeans in a cardboard box, put a target up and see what's what. Whole setup is less than $50. The P17 has a decent trigger but care must be taken when cocking. The pistol can pinch a hand if not careful.

I shoot in my basement & have an "official" 10m target range there. Any airgun will do depending on your baskstop, I just use the concrete wall & sweep up the pellets periodically. As has been said, rifles dont really present much of a challenge, even offhand. However pistols are great fun! Crossman 2240 or 1377 are a great & inexpensive way to get into it. They are both fairly accurate very customizeable so there is much enjoyment to be had shooting & tinkering all for relatively little money.
It is of course possible to go hog wild & spend a bundle on target grade pistols if you like as well.

I guess if you stay sub 600 fps you'll be fine . Not using high power backstop busting guns helps .. a lot of nice shooting 450+/- fps guns out there to keep you happy .

ANY...gun that YOU...like.
I also shoot a short distance...in the house. I use a foam archery target with paper targets stuck to it.
I have both somewhat cheaper rifles and more expensive (well into the four digit bracket), rifles (and pistols). The distance doesn't matter, as long as, YOU are happy with what's in your hands.

A HW30 is a nice airgun for general plinking and target shooting at moderate to close ranges.
It's a quality airgun, readily available and reasonably priced that's suitable for all shooters.
Cheers!
