So I've settled on getting a springer and specifically, a Weihrauch. Now it's just a matter of which one.
My intended use is primarily for pest elimination anywhere from 10-30 yards (sparrows, tree rats, the rare groundhog that ventures too close to the veggie garden). I live in a residential neighborhood, but have a stand of trees/undeveloped area which back to my yard. I want something relatively quiet and I'm willing to purchase a tune kit if needed to tune or de-tune.
I was thinking an HW30s or HW50s in 0.20 cal, but the pellet selection is pretty meager. HW95 in 0.22 seems like overkill, and I'm guessing would be louder (maybe detune?)
Anyway, I'm curious to see what the recommendations are.
As a side note: Why are 0.20 cal more expensive than 0.22 or 0.177? Seems like with the lack of pellet selection, they'd be less popular and therefore cheaper?
