I actually have a Benjamin Trail NirtoPiston .22 that I got from walmart, came with a centerpoint 4-12 AO scope as well that has been a great scope. I think I paid $149 for it. The thing is awesome for pests. I use it all the time on Starlings, rabbits (domestic ones gone wild) and everything inbetween. Took me a bit to find pellets it likes and will shoot accurately, but once I did the thing is absolutely deadly out to about 30yds. Shot a rabbit two night ago in the dark that was digging up my lawn. Put it down on the spot. I like the .22 for the extra energy it hits with. It is very rare for me to have something survive being hit once. Its also "slow" enough that you can hear your hits. So when I hit, it is loud enough and delayed enough to make a "clop" sound, and I know that it was a solid hit.
