Thinking of scoping the Pellet gun

[bowtech]

With arrows getting no less exspencive , I am giving consideration to putting a scope on the pellet gun (RWS) and really giving it a go next september.

Anyone who might have some tips on selecting the best scope for the money...please speak up

Bushnell has a line of scopes for Air Rifles. The price range is from $40-$100. I have a 4x32 for my Benjamin and I am happy with it. It is the $40 one, but it works for what I use it for. Cabela's has the air rifle scopes for sale.

I might use the Benjamin out here for small game. It is a .20 pellet gun. It has killed a lot of sky rats in my days.

I dont know the manufacturer....do you have a retailer?

Cabela's is where I got mine. A friend of mine had one in New England. One powerful air gun.

Here is the loooooooooonnnnnnnggggggg link (for my air rifle):

They have it blued, too. Cabela's also sells it as a package with a scope.

I think you can get them at most Wal Marts and Meijer's also, it's a pretty good scope, it's the same one I have on my 22, same price. $40

Thanks!

I am looking forward to some squirrel stew next year in spite of my wife wanting me to clean/cook and sleep with it out of doors ;D

[admin]

I'm lucky that way, my wife will cook and eat anything I kill, at least so far. I have to clean it but she will do the rest.

Now so far that hasn't been too much out of the ordinary. Deer, squirrell, chukkar, quail and pheasant.

How does squirrel taste? Sounds like it is an either love it or hate it thing, from what I have read in other forums. One of Lil Scott's teachers told me she has lots of squirrels in her yard, including some fox squirrels.

Small game season goes on until sometime in March. Maybe I will go rabbit hunting....

I think that here in IN it goes out the end of Jan. I have not gotten any squirrel hunting done yet this year, but plan on doing a lot of it the rest of the month if the weather coopreates.

I personally like squirrel much better than rabbit.

Snow shoe hare is pretty good though.

I hunted tree rats with a pellet gun years ago and did real good with it, I,m sure you will enjoy it. Go to wally world, they have air gun scopes at a good price.

Thanks
