Wanted something for pest killing that wouldn't draw attention. I have about 6 acres with my house backing up to a mountian, hill I guess, Texas mountain. Nothing behind me for 5 miles but I can hit the City Hall with a rock. All kind of varmits come off that hill. I ordered a Browning 22 cal air rifle. I took it out to shoot and the rear sight was as far to the left as it would go and the rifle shot 4 inches to the right at 25 yrds. I sent it back and got a replacement. I shot it 3 times and the safety locked and I couldn't release it. These weren't cheap guns. I sent it back. Somebody suggested, on here, that I get 22 rimfire and a silencer. I checked into that and it cost $200 dollars for fees plus a lot of red tape. I wound up buying a long octigan barrel Henry 22 and some subsonic 22 short amo. It doesn't make as much noise as the air rifle did. I opened my front door one cool fall night and there were 5 fox 3 coons and a skunk under the guard light on my driveway catching crikets.
