Pellet gun?

[Feildhunter701]

I have a black bird problem. And the old daisy 880 isn't doing the trick. Wonder what the best pellet gun for my money is? With out breaking the bank.

Rws diana. Little spendy but accurate.

How much you want to spend? Looking for CO2 or a break barrel?

Rws diana. Little spendy but accurate.

With a Hawke scope, deadly combination.

I would suggest staying away from break barrel if you want accuracy.

Not sure advertising the killing of a protected species on a website is such a good idea, even if the Migratory Bird Treaty Act has had most of its teeth removed

go buy five or six guns in your price range at places you know you can return them. Buy four or five pellet varieties.

sit down for a couple hours and shoot groups with all the pellets through all of them.

Only ONE gun will REIGN SUPREME!!!!!

The Benjamin/Sheridan pumps are quite good IMO

You can't shoot black birds? Guess I don't need a new pellet gun then.

About ten years ago I called the G& F about shooting blackbirds, they just told me I couldn’t use a rimfire .22 for whatever reason.

Starling are good eating little buggers. Kinda like dove.

Was looking for said same pellet gun for squirrels but never mind..prolly not legal in the big city

I do know though, those pheasant hens and rooster should peck the damn eyes out of that squirrel when he is in on their food I been tossing them. Chickens did that to the baby pigs on the farm, why don't them pheasants wise up.

My son got a GAMO Bone collector pellet gun. The scope is garbage but once that was replaced I thought it was a pretty solid little gun. Way better than anything I had as a kid. For blackbirds it would be an absolute killer. $200 I think.

That's funny you say that I have a Hawke scope and am impressed!

U live suburban or rural?

 

[Feildhunter701]

The edge of the city..

I wouldn’t worry about getting busted for controlling grackles. Or other small critters that cause damage or make a mess. It’s not like they are rare, threatened, or desirable to others.

S S S always works, those dam Robins are in the same category as the Black Birds and Morning Doves, why those dam Doves have to start woo wooing at 3 in the morning

 

[guywhofishes]

Robins are the worst at my place.

Cheery Up!!! Cheery Up!!! Cheery Up!!! at 4:00am

Those suckers destroy my juneberries. I was getting six to eight quarts off 60 bushes. Then one year I bought an electric radio control Piper Cub. The robins would go absolutely nuts when that little plane flew over the juneberries, and they stayed away a couple of days. So I made sure to make a pass early in the morning every couple of days. That year my wife and. I picked 42 quarts.
