Growing up we used our Dad's break-barrel pellet rifle extensively for hunting squirrels and gamebirds around the family cabin. All 3 of us boys would leave with the one pellet gun and a tin of pellets for a day of fun.
We didn't know how to properly shoot a pellet rifle or how to maintain it. Found out later in life it was a decent Benjamin (I believe) and probably dieseling on every shot as we used RemOil on all our guns back then.
I'm looking for a lightweight and preferably short 22 pellet rifle to carry with my daughters in the woods. Velocity should be enough to kill a squirrel but I would like to keep it as quiet as possible. If at all possible I'd like to keep the package cost under $300. I was looking at an open sight RWS 34 but don't know if there is something better out there.
