I have taken up squirrel hunting, and the best place on my property is close to some smaller lots. I don't know the people who live there. It's conceivable that they're hysterical retirees from Hillary country, who will wet their Depends and start shrieking if they see someone hunting. I decided to get an air rifle so I could shoot right under their noses without their knowing it. I bought an RWS 54. It will arrive Friday.
I looked into scoping it, and it appears you have to spend a lot, because this particular gun is very hard on scopes. I would have to put around $400 into a scope in order to get something that will take the pounding. I'm not sure I need one, though.
I am considering putting a peep sight on the gun. It's very unlikely that I'll ever have to shoot farther than 100 feet, and I don't know if I want to blow $400 to see that far.
Wondering if anyone can advise me here. Do I really need a scope for squirrels with this gun?
