Benjamin is a brand?
Understand re: the law. But they don’t go “bang,” ergo unlikely to be reported.
Also, check with your city laws, some places allow for varmit control. Serious. So it wouldn’t be a big deal if your in your yard shooting them. I dunno, if you doing your shooting out the window, etc.
If any noise is an issue, remove a window screen and fire through the open window from 8-10 feet back inside the room, that will further dampen things, plus you will not be visible.
Yep, Benjamin is the brand, Sheridan is the model. The stock is all wood, and everything else is brass. Thing is though, if you pump the gun ten times, it sounds just about like a .22 cal rifle firing. It's a loud pop. My neighbors called the cops on me for firing this weapon when I was a kid in Louisiana many years ago. This is an excellent pellet gun.Another approach I’ve used, once the ground squirrels out here got very wary was to get a live trap. Once trapped, they can be taken into the garage and dispatched.
You can’t miss with a Havahart. Not sporting, but what the heck.
I have an RWS side-lever air rifle in .177 cal. I believe it is accurate and powerful enough to do away with squirrels.
Chinese air rifles that I have seen are crap. IMO.
Are squirrels Kosher?
