How far is "close range" ? I've killed a lot of rabbits and squirrels around the yard with an old Daisy 880 and Crosman 760. They are both quite effective out to 15- 20 yards. I also have a Mac-1 steroid Benjamin 392, a .22 caliber BSA Meteor and a Sheridan 2260 MB. Out of all of them my favorite for back yard plinking and pest control is the CO2 powered Sheridan 2260. No pumping, easily scoped, 5 shot groups under an inch at 30 yards, enough power for rabbits and squirrels out to that range and only 149.00 from Pyramydair.
