Advice for cheap high velocity squirrel gun???

[jagermyster]

Need a small predator rifle for the yard and was thinking of the benjamin 392/397 pcp. Thoughts? Budget is 300 bucks

You're not going to get much of a PCP for $300, plus you'll have to get a pump and or scuba tank/etc. I'd suggest a cheap ($150-ish) youth bow OR a good 22cal 'Nitro-Break barrel' is within your $300.

Suggestions on a gas piston or spring piston gun for 350 ish??

OKShooter suggested in 'Repeating ... ' thread nearby, the Snowpeak 22cal repeater - http s://canadashootingsupply.ca/product/seneca-dragonfly-mk2-multi-pump-air-rifle-0-22/ - Looks interesting and PAL rated ca 800fps. And there is the 22cal SnowPeak pistol I mentioned in that thread, Not HV but good if you're under 50-ft I'd think. http s://canadashootingsupply.ca/product/snowpeak-cp1-co2-pistol-22/ - I kill pigeons with my 1322 pistol with 10+ pumps.
All 3 avoid the added expense of pumps, tanks, etc. I had a Crosman Nitro-piston rifle which was 'manageable' cocking, and I'm sure others can suggest some alternate brands.

Wait for a cheap Crosman Phantom .22 to go on sale at crappytire or Peavymart...

WB weld Plug the air bleed, 2L bottle plastic sleeve the spring and add a penny for a bit of weight (depending on the version of the gun you get)

If you want to go all out, Vortec spring kit and Charlie the tuna trigger.

I got a cometa 300, and it’s been pretty good so far.

Spanish break barrel springer.

I use .44 mag for most everything..they never get back up...the ones that do, I use 45-70 and then they really do never get back up

From day one I trained my two cats for fresh blood and both eating organic. My job is only to get the squirrels off the three.

PAL rated Crosman 362 variable pump. Half your budget, powerful and accurate.

I have a Benjamin Nitro in .22.
Great value. Do the common trigger mod and enjoy.

I have a high power Ruger Airhawk plus 2 scope options in the exchange equipment. 1000 feet per second rated caliber is .177. Excellent prices on a excellent condition rifle.
