The most expensive air rifles fall into the Olympic competition class of air rifles like the makers of "Anschutz" rifles. These are the PCP class rifles (Precharged Pneumatic Guns) they use a Scuba tank to charge the rifle. The cost can exceed $2,500. They are not normally for the home user. They are designed for Olympic shooting.
There are some less expensive PCP rifles for the average user like the ones made by "Webley & Scott" that retail around $900. Most any PCP rifle or gun is going to be expensive. Plus you have to incur the price of the scuba tank or pump to charge it, this can cost around an additional $300. Unless you want to use a hand pump and that will require a lot of back work.
Crosman has just introduced a low-end PCP rifle in their "Benjamin" line of air rifles.
The Crosman Recruit is a pellet rifle not a pellet gun. If you want to see how the rifle is assembled then see the link below for the diagram.
If you mean the most expensive rifle that was available in 1902, it would likely be a high grade custom rifle from a firm such as Holland & Holland of England.
Only if the rifle is designed for pellets. If it is a "Red Ryder" then the answer is NO. Daisy makes PELLET rifles.
It is generally accepted the the pellet rifles used in the Olympics are the finest made. Look up rifles made by FEINWERKBAU WESTINGER & ALTENBURGER
It's a 16 shot BB repeater or a SINGLE shot pellet rifle
Not normally. In fact I can not think of any pellet rifle that takes a 16 gram C02 cartridge.
The Burris Eliminator Laser Scope is the most expensive laser rifle scope in production. It costs about 950 to 1,000 dollars.
BB rifles and BB guns are neither accurate or powerful. Basically because of the design of the barrel. Most BB guns use a smooth bore barrel. Where as pellet rifles use a rifled bore barrel. It has grooves that make the pellet spin and fly straighter. BB's tumble when fired out of the barrel. BB guns can injure you but never attain the accuracy, power or speed of a pellet rifle. The best BB rifle I know of (NOT Pellet only rifle) is the Daisy 880. It is capable of firing both BB and single shot Pellets.
It could do it, although it wouldn't be the most "graceful" means of accomplishing it.
Impossible to answer.
The best for what? Paintball, .177 Pellet, 6 mm pellet or bb rifle?
In general, an air rifle will drive a pellet faster, since the longer barrel permits the pellet to be pushed for a longer time.
