I want a chance to win an all expenses paid trip to Gunsite Academy for their Single Action Self-Defense class.  Hint-hint.

or I'll take a new lap top computer that I asked my wife for.  :)

make sure its legal to hunt with...

lots of states have restrictions on cal.   CA for example has a .20+ rule OR has a .22 law.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

I live in Mayberry cow town USA.. we don't need much legal here to do anything.  ;D
I won't hunt with it..( not REAL hunt)  I want a rifle.. not a pistol.. and I need it to not be too awful  loud.. I want it to shoot possums and critters at night.. I live in town ( if that is what you call it..LOL) and I could probably get by with shooting a 22 with CB caps.. but...I'd rather have the pellet rifle...

You want a BB gun? I'll make you one heck of a deal on a darn cool one. I bought a Umarex STEEL STORM!!!!! select fire BB gun. I apologize for the all caps, but Dr. Freud was in the house when they named that thing. ;D  Anyway its select fire. Single shot semi auto or full auto 5 round burst mode at about 430 fps (good for rats, too light for possums). The thing is a blast. Downside is its too loud for my suburban neighborhood.  I've barely shot it, but I love the thing. Its just that if I can't shoot it in the backyard its no good to me. They look like a mini uzi or tech 9.  
New, they go for $80. I bought a reconditioned one from Airgun Depot for $56. I'll throw in a bunch of BBs and free shipping for $50. It really is a very cool toy, and surprisingly accurate. I just need something a little more low profile for backyard plinking. If you're intereted PM me. As always, if you don't like it, send it back for a full refund. And let the barn rats beware!
Here's the link to the description.
If you want a rifle, check out the link and look at the reconditioned RWS guns. They are lifetime shooters, and plenty enough in .22 to take a possum or coon. Ditto with the gamos, but they are plastic guns and I like the steel and wood of the RWS. My RWS 34 (.22 at 800 fps) has killed plenty of tree rats and a few possums.

see here we can hunt things like turkeys, tree rats, rabbits with a pellet gun.  Its actually very nice, you don't have to worry about your shots going several hundred yards and killing some one. 

now I won't say I have done this, but lets just say when I'm killing pests none of the people around complain about noise...


Have you though about what kind of pellet rifle you want?  break barrel, PCP, CO2... etc.   PCP is by far the most powerful, but you pay for it.
break barrel is great for hunting, but can but can be a bad thing for pest control( they hear you rack it)  CO2 gets expensive. 

I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

So I seriously dabbled in this for a while and what I got was a Weihrauch HW77  in .22.   



Sturdy, well made German technology.   Top it with your favorite sights....make sure they'll withstand the recoil!   Mine has a 5-15x-40 power.  And yes, when I'm popping field mice out to 25yds the 15x really helps.


.22 for the larger weight pellet and because it's be sub-sonic.   Lot's of the high powered .177 are supersonic and will give you a sonic crack.

Underlever.....ready to shoot with one pump of the lever but with the accuracy of a fixed barrel.

CO2 means having to keep the cartridges available.   And they can leak after awhile.   Pumps are a pain.  PCP requires lots of accessories...extremely accurate though.

The next step up is the HW97, imported by Beeman.   


Will work for ammo

I think I'm finally getting an RWS model 48 .22 caliber. I'd rather have the model 52 but airgundepot has a refurbished 48. I've been awake too many days to make a decision yet.
