They have their quirks- I have seals put in mine every 3 years or so, about 100.00$. Right now my hand pump needs rebuilt- it's 6 years old. The accuracy is amazing,I shot rimfire benchrest for years and have several excellent .22's. Out to 35-40 yards the air gun will shoot right with them. Dead calm it will shoot 1"- 1.5" at 100 yards.

Lookup Ted's Holdover on the YouTubes.

He reviews and shoots a TON of airguns. Most of them are Pre-charged Pneumatic - PCP.

They're all most definitely accurate enough for pigeon / starling / chipmunk / rat battling.

This.

Ted knows his airguns.

Umarex forge. Nitro piston. Affordable. Accurate. Suppressed. Will spell lights out for a squirrel at 20ish yards.

I'm not telling you not to go pcp, but I really like my Benjamin Trail.

Lol, the gun I'm using that can't hit anything consistently is a Benjamin Trail NP. I bought it used from a gun store a few years back. I probably got a lemon.

@JimH Pic = 1k words. I assume it's .22.

So is it bad that when I saw the title "Air Gun" I thought we were talking about Air Nailers?

Which then sent me over to Happy Gilmore!

My Crosman F4 has served me well, $80.

So, for pigeons at 40 yards max, what caliber do you recommend for the Benjamin marauder?

 

[Jaybird1980]

I say .25, carries power further. Useful for crows, coons etc.

That said .22 ammo would probably be available more places and you would get more shots per fill. Might be quieter, but probably not much.

Might as well step up to .357/9mm.

Ouch. Sorry to hear that.

I've had good luck with the Ruger air rifles.

Not sure what range you are working at, but .22 bird shot seems to be around a lot of places that are out of everything else.
