Hi Airgun nation,
I have been Internet researching air guns all day and am more confused now than when I started.
I grew up with my Daisy lever action, moved on to a Crossman 880 then a Hornet break-barrel.
I have lots of experience with shotguns and powder rifles.
I now find I have the need for an air gun that can reach out 150 yards to discourage the birds that
use by moored boat as their kitchen and bathroom. It doesn't need to be lethal at that distance but
enough to make the birds move along. I can lob a 177 with my springer to the boat but it gets there
with the authority of a raindrop after I aim fifty feet over.
So--- I'm hoping for advise on what would best suit my needs.
I would like to keep it under 1K and already have scuba tanks and access to a compressor.
In a perfect world quieter would be better than louder.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanx,
CB
