I like to play and tinker with air rifles {and pistols} and have had a bunch over the years. Actually, I still have quite a few but they come and go. I kill maybe a couple dozen squirrels and a few cottontails a year with them around the yard. My old Daisy 881 that I just resealed for the second time last summer has accounted for a ton of yard and bird feeder critters over the years but I actually haven't taken one of my air rifles out hunting in quite awhile. I did when I was younger and have killed squirrels, rabbits, grouse and even raccoon and one possum. That was with a Sheridan blue streak that is now long gone. I still have a Mac-1 steroid Benjamin .22 that I hunted with years ago but I don't really care to pump it up so don't use it much anymore. My Walther Parrus is powerful, flat shooting and surprisingly accurate but is huge and weighs as much as an elephant rifle so I'm not taking that hunting unless somebody volunteers to be my gunbearer.
