Need some help - 22 rifle vs 22 air rifle... Pest Control - your thoughts?

[kyratshooter]

I shot the whiskers off the neighbor's cat at 150 yards with my Beeman the other day!

I held over 37 5/8" and allowed 6 1/2 feet for the crosswind and cocked the rifle twice.

Trimmed the whiskers off the left side of his face and made him jump. I didn't want to kill him, just scare him a bit.

Tied one hand benind my back just to make a challenge out of it.

What??

No one wants to call my bluff?

Fact is that I have been very pleased with my Grizzly.

I did take a shot NEAR the neighbor's cat out around 150 yds and I came close enough to inturrupt his foraging activities. Don't think I hit him but he immidiately turned and lopped off in the opposite direction.

And I did hold over all of the front sight and half the barrel!

This is one item I do not intend to scope. There is no way a frame mounted scope and cocking barrel is goiong to line up with enought repeatability to give max accuracy. If I restrict my shots to actual pellet rifle range of 30-50 feet I will not need the assistance. The scope that came with my kit is now awaiting a suitable home.

I don't need "The best air rifle for my BYB, possum, starlings (don't shoot at skunks), so I just use a Crosman 760 Pump master, BB's (w/mag) or pellets....works fine even with a quite couple of pumps....and cheap.

DW knocked it over in the bedroom and broke off the ramp open sight, so have a scope and laser on it at the moment.
Would love to add nite vision........

All things are possible with proper motivation, Toys-R-Us, and duct tape.

This particular model is good out to about 100 yards and has excellent visibility inside 50 feet. I can read the labels on canned goods inside my totally dark storage room when wearing this unit.

Neighbor's (Mrs): OMG! I think Big Foot is in the next yard.

Neighbor (Mr): Nah....That's just Krat checking on the chickens wearing his night vision gear.

And you think that conversation has not happened?

Back during the racoon war I would have qualified as a cyborg trainee.

Well if its a legal game then use .22 (bullet) rifle. If its a non game like rats or starlings then use pellet rifle.
