looking for a pellet gun i am for sure looking at bolt action love um but if anyone knows any good pellet rifles please help me decide on what to get and it needs to be under $200Looking for a good pelet gun for hunting small critters such as rabbits to squirrels?
SVEN- i LOVE your answer it really shows me you have no clue as to what you talking about. You say ====%26gt;Pellet guns/bb guns are too low caliber to effectively kill a rabbit or squirrel. You should get a .17 caliber riffle. the bullets are tiny and it's a pretty cheap gun,%26lt;==== what the hell kind of pellet gun are you shooting that shots a smaller round then a .17? The littlest pellet gun sold is a .177 and the biggest is a .50, get a .17 rifle, haha yeah or a .177 pellet gun





BUT ANYWAY, if i would be you i would get the .22 gamo whisper, great pest controler





SVEN- dont belive me about pellet guns being able to kill squirrels and rabbits? check this sight out

For squirrels and birds you usually need 3 ft-lbs of impact energy. For rabbits, it goes up to 5 ft-lbs of impact energy. If you're serious about only wanting bolt-action pellet guns, then you'll find the selection in the price range you mentioned very limited. There's the:


-Benjamin 392


-Benjamin 397


-Crosman 2260


-Crosman 1769 SE


-Crosman 1377C


-Crosman 2250B


-Sheridan Blue Streak CB9





And that's about it. Of those, at least a couple are co2 guns, which aren't ideal for hunting. (CO2 guns power levels and points of impact shift with the temperature. The colder the air, the less power the gun has.) The only other bolt-action that's even close to the price range you specified is the Benjamin Discovery (at $230 for just the gun. The gun and pump combo will set you back around $400). If you want a more expansive list, there are a number of multi-pump and spring piston guns that aren't bolt-actions which are in your price range such as the:


-RWS 34 Panther


-Gamo Big Cat


-Gamo Hunter Sport


-Gamo CFX


-Gamo Carbine Sport


-Crosman 2100


-Daisy 22SG


-Crosman Phantom





These guns range from budget guns, to high quality airguns. My advice for checking them out is to read the reviews on each gun you're interested in on a site like Pyramid Air. If most reviewers like the gun, its probably not a bad buy. If they don't, or they talk about serious issues with the gun...
Pellet guns/bb guns are too low caliber to effectively kill a rabbit or squirrel. You should get a .17 caliber riffle. the bullets are tiny and it's a pretty cheap gun. It's pretty much made for shooting rabbits/squirrels since is most commonly known as a ';varmint gun'; haha or just settle with the slightly bigger .22 caliber (most common small caliber rifle)
There are some rugged, powerful Chinese and Russian .177 guns around, but they seem hard to find at times. These spring piston powered guns fire a .177 pellet at 1,000fps or better, which will be fine for rats, squirrels, pigeons, and other pesky critters. I've only fired one, and it was a little heavy, but powerful! Check ';Shotgun News'; for availability.

Good luck! I have a Beaman's rifle that fires at a comperable speed, and, when coupled with a ';pointed'; pellet, will drop many small animals. Squirrels fall out of the tree, rats stop in their tracks, and bunny stops eating the garden immediately!
never had any luck with a pellet gun ;) always used a .22 semi auto





people shoot rabbits because they destroy peoples gardens that they are using to feed their families and because they taste good and they breed like mad who is gonna miss five bunnies when bunnies can start breeding around 3-4 months of age and can have a litter every month after that? do you realize how many bunnies can be created by one pair of bunnies per year? lol
