High power pellet gun recommendations?

[stephen4785]

Iv been looking for some Gamo pellet guns at Cabelas but cant decide which one to get. They range anywhere from $120-$700(for 1000fps+).

just use a cheap marlin bolt action and some .22 shorts, you can shoot a .22 short in a neighborhood and no one would notice.

Buy a box of CB22's. They are very quite and very effective against squirrels and other small varmints.

I've heard good thing about GAMO air rifles. 1,000+ fps and very quiet, but you're looking at about $300.

I've never seen these before... do you think it will it cycle a ruger? Interesting.

No. It won't cycle a damn thing except a bolt gun :lew:

I can shoot them in my Ruger 10/22 and hold the bolt closed and it's VERY quite. Very similar to a pellet gun, but I've taken out problem varmints and never aroused anyone's suspicion.

I loved those little CB's until I found out about Super Colibri 22 Longs (575 FPS). I was reading on a rimfire forum about these and there are some demo's on youtube. I read where you have to use Super Colibri's instead of the standard Colibri's in a rifle do to the danger of the standard ones possibly not making it out of the barrel....I guess do to rifling.

I have a gamo with fixed barrel 1200fps .177 . Its awesome crows dont have a chance and the only way the neighbors can hear is if they are outside and pretty close. I spent $300.

Where you plan to do most of your shooting should be considered. I have a daisy powerline 1000 and it is just as loud if not more than my 10/22. If shooting in the backyard in the city, i'd go sub 1000 fps.

Thats definitely something Im gonna look into. Ill have to get a setup like that for my house!

I wanted a pellet gun in case I needed to shoot a snake or other varmit while at work. Most of the gas well sites are out in the country/farm land and I dont want to discharge anything that has spark. And Im talking about animals that are in my way or around somewhere I need to be. Im not saying Im gonna go out and shoot everything I see while at work. Just animals that wont leave or are aggressive.

Iv got a 7 foot steel panel fence around my backyard so as long as I dont aim above the fence line I dont think it will go to far.

You should get a Cricket .22. They're so small they look like a pellet gun.

[5.0_CJ]

my primary concern is when I'm cycling the bolt and a neighbor seeing brass bouncing. Have to be careful with that, but using .22 shorts, or a .22LR with a suppressor doesn't produce any audible alert to anyone, all you here is the slide or spring.

This is a bad mo-fo.

I think Ill get this one http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0061234229388a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCH_all_NYR-search_redir&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&sort=all&QueryText=air+guns&Ntk=Products&trueNum=107&Nty=1&Ne=3&nyr=1&Ntt=air+guns&noImage=0&Ntx=mode+matchall&Ns=SEL_LOW_PRICE|0&N=4764+4294962857&redirect=true&cmCat=search_redir
1200fps and half the price of a new one. Not a bad deal for $110. List new for $140.

If you do, please post a review. I'd like to get an air rifle too.

[sleeperLS]

Buy a bow and do it in style j/k I had a bengiman(sp) 347 growing up kick ass single shot. Pumps hard as hell tho. Hell its just about 20 years old now and the seals are still good. I shoot it a few times each year.

[Strychnine]

I have one of these laying around somewhere... haven't shot it in years, but I remember it being fun as hell!

sorry mine is the 397. They have changed the design a little over the years. Wal-mart carried them for a while, but not any more. We got mine from cabella's. That was a long trip but well worth it. Hell it even got left out in a snow storm and i had to sand down the wood and re stain it. My pops was piiissseed haha.

What model was the one you and my cousin were trying to get from wal mart when you were a kid?

Oh and I didnt even realize that this one doesnt use co2 cartridges or nned to pump. Just a (high powered)spring.

i found this review on the super colibri

No that was just some stupid pos co2 handgun. Dont even remember. I think we where 12-13. Wal-mart called us professionals. we couldnt help but laugh.

I got that air rifle for my b-day one year. I couldnt even pump the thing 8 times. It was expensive back then. Hell like i said it site in the shop with the 10/22 every time im there i kill a rabit or 20 for my grandmother with it.

[openroadracer3]

i have the Gamo Shadow 1000 .177 cal and it will drop a squirrel out of a tree at 100+ feet. i shoot these through it and they hit hard. http://www.fogdog.com/largeImage/index.jsp?LargeImageURL=http%3A//FOG.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/p4859705dt.jpg

Some cities consider Air rifles and paint ball markers the the same as regular firearms legally.

I have one in a .20 cal. that shoots 7XX ft. per second. I have killed squirrels, snakes, turtles, frogs, and the last victim was a racoon. The racoon took two shots to the head to bring down. Still alot of fun to shoot though.

And they would all pretty much have to suck a dick for Odin since the SC's "Heller" decision.

[88hatch5_0]

I have a Gamo pellet gun that I don't shoot anymore. I posted a link and I am 95% sure this is the one I have. It retailed for $200 a few years ago so I imagine this is the same just with a little bit of a price increase.

If you want it, you can have it for $80.

Brings back memories.

I have the Silver Streak version (Same gun) 5mm (.20 Cal).

I still have it and should just sell it. LOL If you want it, 50 bucks and its yours with the pellets.

[5.0_CJ]

I have that exact gun - the benjamin-sheridan.

[jyro]

I had one, shot at 1100fps, it was about 3 months old when it got burntup in 96 when my house burnt.
mod 48 was what I had, I really enjoyed it. You could kill nail stuff and drop them from 150 feet easily.

how loud is it? my Gamo 1000 is pretty loud; i can imagine what a 1100+ would sound like.

I have this Air rifle - one cock of the barrel and it is ready to go. Has BSA air rifle scope 3-12X44. Maybe 5 pellets through it. Yours for $100 and will meet you in metroplex area. Been sitting in rack for a couple of years - great condition.


GAMO is top Gun in rack.

it was also a one cock gun, couple of the caviots were that you couldn''t leave it cocked over a few seconds or the spring would weaken. The other was it weighed and looked more closer to a 270.
