My father has a bit of a squirrel problem. He needs to eradicate the tree rats. I am going to purchase a .22 cal air rifle to give him for Christmas. I am looking at about $150 max budget. He lives in a neighborhood, so we need it to be quiet (thus the air rifle vs a standard .22) What do you suggest? TIA
Picked up a Ruger in wallyworld for this same purpose and threw on an old Nikon scope I had in the safe, damn thing shoots way better than expected and .22 pellets are some pretty bad mojo for the tree rats at reasonable distances.
Way too much scope for the gun but WTF

If you bought a regular spring/piston type air rifle, it will destroy your scope. I'm assuming the Nikon you put on it isn't an air rifle scope when I say that.
But, to the OP, I was also going to mention Ruger for your price range. I have one of the Ruger Blackhawks in .177. I've killed dozens of yard squirrels with it. I think they make a .22 version.
