I was out looking for a pistol this past weekend and got side tracked with pellet guns. I ended up buying a Gamo Big Cat .177cal. What a gun for the price. I put about a 100 rounds through it yesterday in the back yard just getting familiar with it. Not my favorite trigger. Even after adjusting the trigger its still not great but manageable. Up to fifty yards its still holds about a 3 inch group and only drops about 6-7 inches. At the far distance its penetrating the wood deep enough that you cannot see the pellet. The gophers in the back yard are in trouble. In fact some have already been eliminated.
Pellet Guns What you got?

I have a Benjamin I got about 25 years ago. I still knock squirrels out of my pecan trees with it.

Crossman 760 air Rifle, had it for years. 10-12 pumps and wack:biggrin:
I had a Benjamin about 15 years ago and it was a great gun. I believe I have a 760 as well. I loaned to my nephew about a year ago.
I really like the one **** and it’s ready to shoot 1000 fps. I just whacked a rabbit out of the wife’s garden about two minutes ago.

I have an old 22 cal my Dad owned back when I was a kid, it has to
be at least 35 years old. The barrel says JC Higgins 22 cal made by
Sears Roebuck and Co.
It's pretty cool looking for a pellet gun, solid wood stock and pump handle.
Not sure if it still works...

I have a Beeman 250 and a RWS Model 35. They are spring-piston style air rifles. Both are .177 caliber.
My Crossman 760 is at my dad's place. I need to get it back for my son. Is 6 3/4 years old too young for a pellet gun?
Absolutely not! My 3 year old has a .22 cricket. He’s not yet shot it. But he will soon enough. The sooner you educate them and teach safety the better.:biggrin:

Wanted a Red Rider BB gun, with a compass in the stock, and a thing that tells time, but my mom wouldn't let me get it.
She said, "You'll put your eye out".
It was soon after this that I started hanging out with a guy named Black Bart. Cool guy. He sold me my first GN, and the rest is history.

I've got a chinese knock off of a german design and it's really accurate. I can hit a squirrel at around 35 yards and kill it. My buddies son shot a bird at over 50 yards and took it down as well. I reworked the trigger to make it nicer and got it down around 2.5 lbs so I'm happy. For practice I shoot coke caps at 30 yards and very seldom miss.
You need to get some of the lead BB's for reloading. They make a big difference and hit like a brick.:biggrin:

When I start pumping my Benjamin on the back porch my wife's cats get on point...they know a squirrel is about to hit the ground. It's hilarious...it's like they are thinking.."yeah you little sob's, who's eating pecans now"...:biggrin: :biggrin:
I think a BB gun at 6 yoa is great. Start them young and they wll have proper respect for a firearm for life.
And they will know how to lead them just a little,,,,
