Need suggestions for an air rifle to take some varmits. I would shoot them with my 22 but can not run the risk of a glancing bullet. All shots will probably be inside 40 yards.

Hippi is the resident air rifle pro.


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I got that Model 48 for my son several years ago. Shoots HARD and is nearly as loud as a .22 rifle.

If you can’t shoot a sub sonic .22, you’re splitting hairs between that and a pellet gun that’ll kill a squirrel or chipmunk. It sounds like a lot less fun, but I think traps are what you need.

I got a crossman nitro I like it but don't have experience with other new ones...

Mine is a Crosman 22 cal. that was a combo gun. It will wear the squirrels out. One thing I'll say is there definitely was a barrel break in period. It really wasnt very consistent until I went through probably 300 shots. Since then it's been dead on even with the junky combo scope

Well, looking at some of these rifles, I may just wait till they are up a tree and shoot em with sub sonic ammo. I was gonna try and stay around 100 but...
Thanks for all the input, definitely will check them out.

I bought a gamo big cat when they came out several years ago and was to the point of throwing it away..but after about to full cans of crossman premiers it started putting them in the same hole at 50-75 yards...bet i shot it more than a thousand times before it got remotely accurate...my remedy...by a better gun cause that thing was junk

Are the "whisper" rifles actually quieter? I could get anything I needed done with a reasonably accurate quiet gun.

I've got a Gamo that's louder than a 22 LR.
When I'm shooting varmints in the city, I use the 22 CBs.
