For in-town use, I'd recommend one of the more potent air rifles, you
can still get a good springer for under $120. That should take care
of most anything up to rabbit size with proper shot placement. Ammo
is a hell of a lot cheaper than .22s, too.

Speaking of air rifles, a .22 cal or better would be a nice and quiet rifle.

I have a Gamo `1000 FPS .177 air rifle, it is nothing short of
amazing. I once became upset at squirrels, took a rifle, out of five
shots, I killed three with headshots and fatally injured the fourth.

(That should take out a woodchuck, Ig.)


Yup, Gamo makes a number of powerful air rifles. I used to like squirrels until I saw how
much damage they do. Now I call them tree rats and deal with accordingly.

I used the .22 for the ground rats around here. They do far more
damage than tree rats. They ruined my weed patch, erm, my lawn.
