Agreed.

rockinbar sold me one and it is incredibly quiet and does great damage in urban environments.



If you just need to be rid of avian pests, the .177 is even quieter. However, head shoot a sqwirl at 40 yards and it’s DRT. JSB Exact Heavies shoot best out to 30 yards or so for me, then the Monster 13.4s take the lead. YMMV.
