Trying to decide on an air rifle. Four purposes. Shooting starlings & sparrows in trees. Shooting starlings & sparrows in barn with metal roof (that I don't want to put holes in). Squirrel hunting. Shooting practice for self, wife, young son (nearest neighbor half mile away so would be able to shoot air gun without as much concern).

Thinking about a PCP with variable power so could meet all needs with one gun; but... No experience with one or any of the modern air guns. Definitely open to springers, etc. if those might be better options. Would like to keep total cost with scope, etc. below $750 - below $600 would be great.

Any recommendations?
