First some boring background: I recently planted a 30 ft tree (by crane) that two squirrels decided to nest in. There are far better, older, sturdier, trees for them in the immediate area. No idea why they chose this one. They built one nest, I tore it down. They built a second, I tore it down. They built a third and now it's war. I generally like squirrels but the problem is they strip young surrounding branches to build a nest (over a hundred stripped branches) and create a bare damaged limb (called a lion's tail). I'm trying to grow this tree full, not strip it bare. Now I need those twits dead. There is no squirrel specific poison that's sold in stores. I could set cage traps but several add up to a couple hundred bucks easily. Snap traps don't work on squirrels. They freak out with the trap on their head and shake it off. My last option was an airgun but I need something loaded and ready to go. That eliminates CO2 because it can't be stored charged. Springers take too long to load and pump plus critters seem to know what the pump sound means: danger. I thought a break-barrel Swarm Maxxim with a 10-pellet mag was a decent answer, but now I learn the magazine can't be stored loaded without damaging the internal spring. Also, the stock scope took me 80 rounds to dial in to where I was hitting bullseyes with the reticle on a 5/8" flo orange dot at 20 yards using JSB Stratons. But today I tried to hit a resting squirrel at approx 20 yards and it didn't flinch - meaning my shots were too far off. So what gives? Are scoped airguns just for target games at a fixed distance and predetermined conditions? Can PCPs be stored pumped and ready to go? I need a fast reliable solution. Also, the Swarm scope shows me three orange bullseyes on one 6" black circular target. Like a kaleidoscope effect but I'm totally sober! Yet only the orange dot is duplicated, not the entire target. Can someone explain that? I have very little airgun experience. The Swarm scope is my first. I feel like I can do better with a fiber optic site. Any advice is appreciated.
