A .177 caliber air rifle has very little recoil.
This is a very nice air rifle. It is a .22 caliber not a .177 caliber rifle. it was made in two variations from 1957-1964. See the link below for the Owners manual.
My catalogue list the JC Higgins model 126.2831 as a Crosman model 180. I believe your 126.2830 is also the same model. (Crosman and Daisy made air guns for Sears.) If I am right then see the link below

Both Shinsung and Sam Yang make a 50 caliber air rifle. The largest caliber Weinrauch makes is a .25 caliber.
The model 100 is a .177 caliber air rifle. The model 101 is a .22 Caliber rifle. Basically the same air rifle just different calibers.
Made by Crosman for Sears. I have no additional information. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's a Crosman model 140 or 1400 made for Sears using the JC Higgins name. It was made between 1954 to 68 in 4 different variations.
This is the code number for a "Crosman" model 180 air rifle. Both Crosman and Daisy made air Rifles for Sears under the JC Higgins name.
Depends on the rifle. Accurately? About 50 yards max.
The Olympic air pistol and air rifle events use a .177 caliber pellet. The biathlon (skiing and shooting) uses a .22 caliber rim fire rifle.
A 22 caliber rifle is a firearm and a BB gun is an air gun (Not a firearm) Now if you are asking about a .22 caliber air gun then the difference is in the size of the projectile. A BB is a hard round .175 caliber ball. The .22 caliber is a larger size pellet.
