I've been having a. Little problem with mice invading my garage this winter. The wife finally had enough and gave me the go ahead to pull out all the stops.
I picked up a Benjamin 397 multipump pellet rifle. I wanted something I could use at lower power to shoot in the garage but still crank up to take out the odd pine squirrel.
I forgot how much fun air guns could be. I'm pretty impressed with how well this shoots. The minimum 3 pumps will yield 548fps with a 7.9gr pellet. Accuracy has proven to be great. Painting the front sight bright green helped a bit. My pellet trap has an assortment of steel spinners from ram to chicken. After sighting it in I spent a couple hours banging steel last night.
Now I just need to pour a bait pile of bird seed and wait!
