Re: Air Rifle
Billie, Bot I but, do you already have 1 or in the market? If in the market, you may want to check out the Gamo.
I have seen demos & read up on them & they are a great gun with some being able to take down hogs fairly
quietly.
FWIW.

Re: Air Rifle
I've had a Gamo Hunter for 20 years. Deadly accurate and has killed everything from gophers to raccoons and everything in between. Outstanding .177 pellet gun.
HORRIBLE trigger pull but I got used to it!
It's adjustable but it goes from bad to worse!

May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?

Re: Air Rifle
I don’t have one yet . Need something very quiet so the neighbors don’t upset . Looking to protect the garden from ground hogs .Budget is less than 300 . Hatsan is available at Wings in 177,22 and .25 cal. I assume the .25 is considerably slower .
Put you plans in the nail scarred hands.

Re: Air Rifle
Have you ever tried CB caps in a 22?

CB in 22 is what I would use.

Re: Air Rifle
Have never shot a Hatsan. Shot a Gamo once. It had the worst trigger I have ever pulled. Had no desire to own one after that. I have a Beeman R7. Super accurate. Great trigger. Have killed lots of black birds and a fair number of squirrels with it. Head shots only for the squirrels. It doesn't have the horsepower for larger quarry.

Re: Air Rifle
CB caps are more quiet than that Gamo Whisper I had

Re: Air Rifle
No experience with the Hatsan
I've had RWS guns for over 40 years, very accurate, nice triggers

Y’all are trying to talk the man out of getting a new toy. No fun in that.
Re: Air Rifle
Bought my son the Gamo Varmint for Christmas in 2019 and I don't care for it. Have tried an assortment of different pellets and can find anything that will group worth talking about. I didn't do my research thoroughly prior to purchasing it or I'd have not gone with a springer. I'm used to my CZ 22 lr's shooting one hole groups so maybe my expectations were too high.

Re: Air Rifle
I’ve got a gamo whisper fusion pro and it’s no where near as loud as a .22. Really don’t know what you folks talking bout when yo say loud as a .22. But anyway.
I’ve killed squirrels at a measured distance of 75 yards. But I’ve also shot at birds at 10 yards and missed. Lol
