New to air rifles please recommend a model, caliber and scope for our eastern woodchuck in an urban environment. Range 30yrds
Thanks

Assuming you don't want a PCP repeater the RWS 350 Magnum listed below is a good choice. for woodchuck I'd go 22cal. The 34 is not bad. The TO6 trigger is great.

Gamo makes a couple that would work.

The Air Arms TX 200 Mark III is about twice the $$ without scope but wins a lot of competiion and the one time I shot it seems a little more forgiving on your hold. Key thing on a springer is your hold. You need a VERY lose hold and let the rifle consitantly move. Kind of like shooting benchrest.

This sight has some great prices and excellent reviews and info.

To play in the PCP arena think around $1000 to start and up.

forget a Gamo. stick with RWS or Air Arms( for more money).

Heck the wife just took out another rabbit at 30yds. That will teach it to dig in her flowerbed. Her rifle of choice is my old Crossman 1000 .17 with open sights. Leaning against the front door jamb. Who needs $600 rifles.

Thanks for a good start

i love my RWS model 34 .177 cal. it would i swear put a pellet through your arm...... i had to beef up my marksman pellet trap with a thicker piece of steel to keep it from going though it.... be sure to get a scope for an air rifle because a spinger like the rws will shake a rifle scope to pices in very short order...... as for accuracy you have to try to miss a bean size can at 25 yds...........
