not that good of reviews

With a budget of around $100, you don't get much of a pellet rifle. I got Gamo with 1400FPS and it shoots great. But I spent a bit more for it, too - I think $200 on sale.

I have a Czech .177 air rifle, dont recall the brand. Its the typical one pump break action type and is capable of 2” groups at 50 yards. BUT you really have to lock into an extremely solid, bench style hold! Remember that that big ‘ol piston and spring have to jump forward with tremendous force before that little’ol pellet even starts to move. FOLLOW THROUGH IS VITAL for accuracy. If you aren’t locked firmly on target the barrel wont be pointing anywhere near the target when the pellet finally leaves the barrel.

This is a recent sighting in target, distances in yards. Prone position.

I was just about to ask a question regarding pellet / bb gun recos on guns that are more accurate than the Daisy my young son currently plinks with. Very helpful thread, thanks everyone for their input here.

22 is so much better for small game.

Just tell your neighbors it's a really loud pellet gun.

They probably won't even hear it unless they are outside.

I had a Benjamin pump action  ,22 pellet rifle like this one.

When I was young, the hardest thing back in the 70s was finding decent pellets. I could shoot lights out with that rifle open sight.
With a cheap Redfield 4x10 scope, I was deadly to 50 yards.
Loved that rifle.

Quiet? Not at all, Sounded like a .22 rifle going off.
If you taped a one liter plastic Coke bottle over the muzzle, you had a functional suppresser for you first shot. After that, about 30% suppressed.
 LOL
