Been shooting rifles all my life. Now I live in city and need an air-gun for pests. I bought a GAMO Bigcat 950 .22, a few years back but not happy with it. I think the scope won't hold zero and the trigger is garbage. Shooting rats off the bird feeders, my success rate is really low. I ordered a Charlie Da Tuna trigger this morning and am going to grab a nice 3x9 off one of my rifles and see if it shoots better.
So now I'm on the hunt for my first PCP. I need a rifle that is quiet and powerful enough for raccoons @ 20 yards. I am looking at the soon-to-be released Hatsan Flash. I like the fact that it has a magazine and synthetic stock. I have lots of scopes, so not an issue. Will buy a manual air pump. The gun won't see a ton of action. Maybe a few shots a week. I'm a good-sized guy, not worried about a little work to fill.
Questions:
Do you think the Flash will do what I need? I was planning on staying with .22.
What is a quality economic hand pump?
Thanks in Advace.
