Recommended Pellet Rifle
 

My dad has a spring powered pellet rifle that he is not pleased with. It's a Crossman Quest 1000. He's using it to control the varmints that are getting in his garden and fruit trees. What is a good pellet rifle that is accurate and what is an inexpensive scope he can mount on it. Thanks for any help.

Gammo makes some good ones

I've killed quite a few squirrels with the Beeman one they sell at Walmart. Got my limit sitting in a lawn chair in my back yard.

I have a Gamo Hornet .177 with a sweet .22 scope on it. It has killed 3 possums and 2 crows...... bad little gun and pretty acurate. You have to shoot about 30-40 pellets to get it broken in. Dont skimp on the pellets, get the good ones.

I have had my Benjamen .22 caliber for close to 18 years and love it.

Killed everything from rabbit to crows to oppossum. I am sure it will take care of any varmit that is bothegrin the garden.

To me the .22 caliber makes all the difference.

300 to a couple g's
Depends on what u want and how repetitive you plan on shooting it . For yards/ rodent control I'd get a cheap one . Pm me your email address n I can send you tge application

Hatsan nitro piston 25 cal.

Get him on of these. He'll be the baddest farmer on the block.

I have the Benjamin trail NP 22 cal. With a cheap crossfire mil for scope. I too limited out from my back patio just watching the garden. Taken lots if squirrels and rabbits and it's very quiet. Have noticed that it's picky about pellets. I bought as many types as I could find and shot lots of groups at paper until I found one that worked. I'll shoot it out to 60 yards confidently and it'll hit the target at 100 but consistency goes to crap

Quieter than a pellet gun. You can buy em at a gun store. Good for about 30 yards. It has no powder only primer. You can shoot em in town. It won't cycle in an auto. You have to manually eject em.

Holy Crap!

That is one bad *** pellet gun!

You could take out a coyote with that weapon! Did you see the size of that pellet?!?!

Can do this if you don't mind being a whore for the ATF. They knock on your door and want to see it you better have it. "I loaned it to my buddy" lands you in federal prison.

This is correct. That SOT is a bit more of a burden than most people wanna deal with. Were it not for all of the paperwork, my firearms company would be a class III dealer. I've got too much other stuff to deal with already!

Gamo makes one that I shoot that's about 1300FPS and, shoots as true as any other .177 pellet rifle on the market.

That's why you go the trust route and have your buddy listed on the trust. That also exempts you from the CLEO signature requirements. Here in Lafayette parish, you'd be hard presses to get the sign off unless you made a nice contribution to a campaign.

Go to Gamo web site, on right you will see DEMO Sale! That is where its at.

i agree with this right here. only thing is finding them is pretty much impossible.

i bought a $250+ gamo last year and kept it for a few mths... it shot 1400fps and was louder than a real 22 cartridge. had other pellets i bought that were slower and quieter. i ended up trading it for a 30-06 remington.:smokin:

the problem is it never was accurate shot for shot. one would go high then one low then one left then the next could hit a dime at 25 yds. it was so inconsistent and useless. i would setup targets at 75 yds and i would tear them up but it just didnt hold true. the best pellet gun i ever had was the old benjamin pump. always dead on and never had a problem.

i would NOT ever recommend a gamo spring gun to anyone ever! total junk. i also read review after review about the same problems with them. looked really cool though. theres a good chance that with new scope would have fixed the problem but i wouldnt wanna spend another $200 on an already overpriced toy. :spineyes:

in place of the gamo i bought my son a "cricket" and the colibri primer rounds. best purchase ever. watched my son nail his first bird with it.:D

also, once you start shooting these high velocity pellet guns, the actual quality of the pellets is KEY to accuracy. those little cheap mismatched pellets will fly everywhere at 1000+ fps and hit nothing but once you find the one that works with your gun keep shooting that exact one. took me a while but that was half the fun.

Been having my gamo for 12+ years. Still shoots awesome
