Kopy 491 Posted January 9, 2018 Was looking to pick one up. Just to do some target shooting when I get bored. And hopefully trim down my chipmunk population. I don't mind paying for something good. I definitely don't want a piece of junk. Anyone here got any recommendations on brands, caliber, psi. Or even the pellets I should try? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted January 9, 2018 I have a GAMO Whisper. Highly recommended. I have the same kind although it's still loud in a quiet subdivision. Squirrels/chipmunks trying to enter house or dig burrows around foundation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kopy 491 Posted January 9, 2018 I have a GAMO Whisper. Highly recommended.Everyone keeps telling me Gamo. So I think I'm definitely going to go that route. Just gotta pick the model.What about the caliber. 177 vs 22. Does it even matter for just horsing around? Other question is ammo. Does it matter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cloaca du jour 2,064 Posted January 9, 2018 I had the origjnal crossman 766 pump air rifle. I put a scope on it and wrecked some grinnies and other local wildlife when I was a kid. Fun times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nomad99 406 Posted January 9, 2018 Go with .22 cal. You can put down anything up to raccoons & groundhogs with it. .177 will kill chipmunk & squirrel with most shots but will often just wound the squirrel. Gamo is a good brand as is beeman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
