Crossman .22 caliber rifle. CO2 powered, so no pumping. It will make short work of the limb rats.

Well, in my larger neighborhood they'd think you were strange for not shooting a $75 .38 that you bought at a pawn shop a week ago........at someone else.......usually outside a "nightclub".

Everyone knows you don't buy a gun at a pawn shop.... they are traceable. I won't go into a handgun thread. Too off topic. Let's stick to tormenting the squirrels.

We have a family friend that live-traps squirrels very successfully. He makes it a hobby. Lets them go in the woods way out of town. He gets 20-30 each year.

Don't you just know the forest squirrels just LOVE to see him coming with a load of city limb rats.

I gotta laugh at some of these posts, but hope that the squirrel police don't hear me.

Well, geez, he doesn't stockpile them then smuggle them in the trunk across a border or anything. :laughing:

A pellet gun that charges by pulling a lever instead of the barrel.

The barrel is the lever.

What are these squirrels living off of? If you have trees that produce rodent food and habitat, you might want to change that for a longer term solution. Otherwise you will be doing this elimination thing every year and restrictions are gong to getting tougher.

The barrel is the lever.

Moss they make a pellet/BB rifle that uses an under-lever to cock the gun. Look at the Daisy Avanti or the Daisy 953. Here is a link to the 953 PowerLine TargetPro Model 953 | Daisy Outdoor Products. The Avanti is a single shot Olympic type target rifle and you would be hard pressed to find a more accurate rifle. The 953 is a stripped down version of the Avanti with a cheaper trigger and synthetic stock and has a 5 shot clip. One cock of the lever shoots the gun at around 500fps, plenty of power for small game and pest. If it has a C at the end of the numbers then it has been deregulated and is meant for the Canadian market
