[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1207039, member: 90399"] I have a 22 rifle with scope already and am going to pick up some subsonic ammo or maybe some CB ammo to try. I just get nervous about extra energy that a 40gr 22 bullet carries vs a 7.5gr 17 caliber bullet. I have a couple acres here and cannot see my neighbors, but they are really not that far away. I have thought about this. However I have kids and I'm sure they would be playing with the cats, touching them, etc... So I would have to keep up with their shots and visits to the vet I'm assuming. I'm not really a fan of cats. Although I 100% agree they would help with the chipmunk population. I just picked up a better air rifle from Midwayusa. The Ruger Blackhawk Elite is currently on sale $65 off. So the price of the air rifle plus scope is only $54.

Usually I don't base my buying criteria solely on price, but I just stuck $3K+ into a couple pistols so the timing on this Midway sale is a boon. And I have to admit that buying 1250 pellets (that have a 5 star rating) for $11 is pretty nice! [/QUOTE]
