Here's the deal. I have a chipmunk problem in my backyard. Big chipmunk problem. Having examined my options, I'd like an air rifle.
As usual, funds are limited. I'd like to keep price in the $50-$70 range.
Distance of shots will be 20 yards max. Largest target would be squirrel sized, if that. the immediate need of this gun is for chipmunks, and otherwise will be purely a target gun.
Is there anything worthwhile that can be had in that price range?
The primary contenders based on a preliminary look at price and reviews are the Daisy Powerline 880, and Crossman Pumpmaster 760. If these are garbage, and if I should look elsewhere please let me know.
As for optics, given the limited distance, and non-rugged nature of the conditions, think I can get away with cheapo glass? All shots taken will be in broad daylight.
I know very very little about airguns, so if any of my assumptions are incorrect, I am perfectly willing to be edjamakayted. Thanks in advance for the help.
