Greetings all. Good to be here as I've lurked long enough.
I have a short list of rifles which I'm interested in for hunting. Mainly tree squirrels here in Indiana. The rifle will see a lot of use for plunking and casual target work. Daily, no doubt.
Beeman r7/ Hw 30
Beeman r9/ Hw 95
Air Arms TX200
My most specific question revolves around the r7/hw 30......In your experience, will it have enough energy to humanely take head-shot squirrels out to 40 yards or so? Is it accurate enough to do so, if I'm capable of doing my part?
At what range would a grey squirrel be taken cleanly with a shot through the shoulders with the rifle?
Any comments on these rifles welcomed and appreciated.
Looking forward to gaining as much knowledge as I can from you all. Air rifles have certainly changed since I was young. Thank you for having me.
Best regards, Flintlock.
