Looking for a good BB gun and a good pellet gun

Been a while since I’ve bought one but mine aren’t as strong as they once were. What they got out there that’s good enough to care of a pest. In a neighborhood so don’t want anything bigger than a pellet gun.

I still have my Benjamin pump 347 .177 pellet gun my stepdad gave to me in the 90’s. That thing can kill a grizzly bear if I pump it 12 times.

I just ordered a JTS airacuda in 22, I'm putting a sightmark wraith on it. I have been using an Air Arms TX 200 mk3 but i don't want to abuse my new shoulder with it at least for awhile, and the extra 275 FPS should do well on turtles and armadillos. Bought the JTS and an air compressor off Amazon.

I found one of those sticking out of a trash can a few years back, 22 cal. I got a seal rebuild kit and it will put a pellet through the wooden fence.

I got the kit from Pyramid Air. Similar to this, you just need to make sure it works for your model. They have pre 1995 and post 1995 kids. It was pretty easy to install.

There is a brass cylinder that you have to open up to replace the seals in. Don't do what I did and try to open it while there is still air pressure, you'll never unscrew it
. Once I realized what was going on and released the pressure it broke apart with minimal effort. This post was edited on 6/8/26 at 9:40 am

So many great ones out there. Unfortunately, the best one I have is no longer made. I have not been impressed with Gamo or Umarex. I would go to one of the online retailers and watch/read some reviews. The gas piston stuff is just amazing. I'll probably add a newer CO2 to my lineup soon.

I saw one of those Warren guys on a show shooting hogs with a pellet gun. 
They must be making them pretty strong these days.

Yeah, there's so many choices now.

BB gun - don’t get a BB gun
Pellet gun - get something in 25 caliber, or if your pests are huge like coyotes or foxes or Pitt bulls get a 30 caliber. My 25 caliber has no problems giving coons and armadillos an instant dirt nap. An Air Venturi Avenger is a good .25 bolt action PCP rifle to start out with. The air compressor costs more than the gun. You won’t be dissatisfied.
