Yes they are! A side-cocker is not one that I have. The last couple of months, I have been thinking hard on one, in .22 as well.My old RWS Diana M48 side-cocker springer .22 has got us a LOT of dinners over the years. Squirrels and cottontails taken cleanly out to 40+ yards. Only downsides are weight (about 8# with scope) and a pretty stout cocking effort. Accuracy is stellar and build quality 1st rate.
Very nice setup. What is the deal with air gun suppressors. Seems like many rifles have them.My critter getter...View attachment 223194
That M48 is nice built I installed the spring kit in a customer M48 and it pushes about 1015 on average with 21 gr HN baracuda matchMy old RWS Diana M48 side-cocker springer .22 has got us a LOT of dinners over the years.
