Justin...I have a gammo pellet rifle in the big city of Portland, OR... I eradicate all rats that have the nerve to touch my property with it... I have only had to reload and take a second chance once.
It was $70.00 and you break the barrel for just one pump, that's it... 960 in muzzle pressure.
It does a damn fine job... and hardly any noise at all.
BTW... I think my neighbors behind raise the MF's!!!
Gunfire is a common sound in this neck of the woods.
The neighbor and I have discussed the extermination program... I am to warn her. The children will be brought in the house so as not to witness the carnage... but she would be as thrilled as I to get rid of the destructive little so.and.so.s.
