Air Rifles for Animals 25 to 45 lbs

If you have a problem with animals the size of Raccoons, Beavers and Bobcats, an air rifle with 71 to 100 foot pounds of energy will drop them like a bad habit. At a distance of 10 yards, the pellet will go clear through a Douglas fir 2 x 12. These air rifles are most accurate with a round nose pellet ranging in weight from 43 grains to 46 grains. Pointed pellets should be avoided because they are known to be a cause of a jammed magazine (except Sumatras). The “magic” pellet is found by balancing the weight of the pellet to the air pressure that the gun puts out; each air rifle has its own personality.
