Those cheap daisy pellets in .177 are great. I bought like 50 different sample backs of high dollar pellets. I liked the daisy for some reason.

That only works when said rodents don't know Judo. If said rodents live in close proximety to a USMC base and have lived off of MRE waste/leftovers there entire life they will in fact kick your bellybutton with there bare hands. Just a warning.

Keep an eye out for a gun show. You can pick up a decent chinese airgun for 30-40 bucks that shoots 1k fps easily.

I've had mine for about 8 years now, it is still powerful, accuratte and reliable. Btw, you know you have the good stuff when the manual for the gun doesn't have a single word of english in it.

Oh yeah, should I go for a higher calibre then .177? I was trying to stick to .177 so the ammo would be interchangeable but I don't care much anymore, .177 .20 or .22. Break barrel any good? All a learning experience.

P.S. I can check Gart Sports too, maybe the Bass Pro Shop or Sportsman's Warehouse. I got a few days off and a tank full of gas.

Seriously google beeman and rws airguns. Both make very hi-powered pellet guns. Also there are airguns that are charged from a scuba tank.
I've seen 1 in 9mm with 900 fps muzzle velocity, 6 shot rotary mag, lever action. There is some really nice airguns out there just have to look.

Don't like the CO2 powered ones, get's expensive after awhile, and when it starts to drop off, it goes fast.

The one in the link is not co2 . It is compress air 3000 psi.
Also there are a few co2 powered that have larger bottles like paint ball guns.

I don't remember what model it was, but I bought a .177 daisy CO2 repeater and it's nice and accurate out to 20 yds. Yea it's CO2 but if you're only after an occasional rodent, then it's not a big deal. I like the multi-shot capability from the magazine. Between shots is only a quick pull-push on the cocking lever, because of the magazine and the CO2 cartridge.

I put a laser spot sight on it and it hits the spot every shot for about 50 shots on one cartridge.

My bud had a Sheridan Blue Streak when we were kids. Compared to my Daisy that you pumped 10 times, that thing was scary. Was more like a .22

I've had my sheridan for over 30 years.

It still operates and shoots flawlessly.
Gives you effective control over how much force you want to use.

For plinking 2 pumps, birds close, 3, rabbits at mid range, 3 - 4.

The ONLY drawback that I've seen is that ammo is more expensive and harder to find.

I had a co2 pistol which i hid in a hole in the wall(caused by my foot inadvertantley going through while barrackading myself against the door from my older brother)

then one day said brother decided to light firecrackers and toss them from his window..parents thought it was me,searched my room & found the gun a pack of smokes and a 26'r of vodka..Think i got grounded for two months.
