Following this thread.
I want a scoped air rifle to practice with. I want something that is accurate and easy to use. I will mainly be shooting off the back deck. Noise is not a problem. I would not mind the ability to use it for squirrels but I think that adds more power requirements, probably a heavier rifle, and more expense.
I have a Diana 34 clone, Ruger Blackhawk Elite .177, that is a tac driver out to 60 yards. I shoot the Crosman Premier 10.5 grain pellets.
(To the OP, these heavy pellets will punch right through a crow wing at 30 yards.)
The 2-stage trigger is fully adjustable. And this one goes off at a hair.
It’s the one with the stupid big scope.
Field Target worthy... on the cheap.
The little Daisy 131 has about half the power, weighs about half as much, half as hard to cock, and maybe half as loud.
It’s super accurate to about 30 yards with 7 or so grain pellets.
Although not very “gun-like”, it’s a blast to shoot.
It’s sporting the freebie 4x32 that came on the Ruger.
I wouldn’t shoot a squirrel with it. Might bounce off.
