BB gun recommendations
« on: April 30, 2006, 06:04:19 PM »
Being that we have some rodents...pests...behind my house, i've decided I need something with a little more power.  Was looking at the hunting rifles, 1000FPS.  $150 or somewhere in that range if possible, I think Wally world might have some for $120 but I haven't checked in months.


Also, you have to be 16 to buy one right?  Or is it 18?  Time to do some research...

I think you can get  good Pellet gun at wally world for about 80-100 USD

I'll never forget when  friend of mine killed a mouse w/ a BBgun.

Small hole in wall near the corner of the garage, mouse seen entering/exiting from hole to dogfood bag. Place a teaspoon of PeanutButter 2" outside the hole, set chair bout 6' away backwards so you can rest barrel of BBgun on chairback, wait less than 3 minutes, mouse exits hole and heads strait to PeanutButter, Mouse killed on first shot. Good Times!:D

My Daisy 880 .177 cal is supposed to go about ~750FPS.  Was really windy here today so the pellets/bbs weren't exactly hitting their targets.

Wally World?
Isn't that the theme park part in National Lampoon's vacation that Chevy Chase was trying so hard to get to, only to find it closed?

what sandy said.  killing rodents has become a very entertaining part of my week.  it takes skill and patience, often you get only one shot at the pesky critters.  I'm utilizing 4mm pointed pellets with good effect.  I have even killed a large male raccoon with that combination.

I have "high velocity" pellets for hunting, don't do much. 750FPS is about 200FPS at 20-30 yards I think, add a crosswind and you have nothing.  I use pellets for accuracy and BBs if I was to put a hole in it.


They have BB pellets now, accuracy of a pellet, carry through of a BB I guess. Basically a hollow point with a BB at the tip, kind of expensive too.

Get a Daisy Red Ryder with a compass in the stock and a thing that tells time.
