Best deals in air rifles these days?
Well I can't spend a fortune because I don't have it, but I am looking to get back into an air rifle to help offset some of what I am spending target plinking with powder these days. I would also like to be able to squirrel hunt with it, but I guess it doesn't have to have the power to do so since I still own a .22
Any advice from the huntchat family? in my youth I shot up enough BBs and .177 pellets to sink a battleship. The old daisy pump died before I ever left for college 20 years or so ago, and I pulled out the old red rider BB gun the other day to find that the BBs would go around 10 feet before they hit the dirt. I remember when I was a kid shooting holes in tin cans with that thing. Anyway like I said, I am in the market. .177 or .22 would be nice Thanks Richard

Thanks wrenchman I will take a look around. The only problem is I really don't know what I am looking for (or at) these days.

I have a big old Coon Cat that is using my garden for his personal bath room. I have an old piston type one that is good out to about 20 yds. Just waiting to chat him squating and I will put one on his back leg. Hopefully that will end the problem. Really don't want to kill it just send it packin.
