Gamo 177 air rifle is THE tool for backyard squirrel executions.

I've shot both and honestly think the Gamo is better, plus the .177 is a bad MFer for shooting squirrels.

Ruger Air Hawk .177 Caliber.

Other than a Benjamin, this a damn accurate and powerful rifle for the $, and will definitely take care of any squirrel problem you have. I think I may have paid $120 for it.

Bolt action .22 rifle with a 25-inch barrel.

Fire CCI CB Shorts.

Quieter than an air rifle...four times as deadly.

I've taken hundreds of squirrels with that setup (inside of neighborhoods).

FWIW I chased a couple of geese out the pond a little while ago with mine, I feel bad killing the geese when they just got hatchlings

In the event that they ran out of powder or their powder got wet, the Lewis and Clark expedition took this air rifle with them to kill deer and other wild game for food.

I vote Gamo. My dad killed a doe with one. Didn't mean to. He was trying to scare her outta my mom's flowers. Used a Raptor pellet I had left. Said she was acting weird after he shot. I found her 50 yds behind their house.

He said his neighbor was missing a few dogs and he had "scared" them away too. I need to introduce him to cootkilla.
