Want to buy a scoped air rifle - 02/21/21
Hi
I already have a non-scoped Benjamin 397 PA, with a williams peep on it, and want to keep that rifle in it's current state.
But, I would like to purchase a durable and accurate rifle which is manufactured for a relatively easy scope mount.
Am leaning toward .177, as I will be mainly shooting barn birds and squirrels at around 20 to 25 yards. A scoped rifle would be just right, as long as the rifle itself has very good accuracy.
Would like to stay in the $300 area as a target (for rifle only) if I can get good quality at that price level.
What would you suggest I take a peek at, and would you agree that .177 is a good match for my expected use?
Thanks in advance for your help.
