Im looking for an air rifle that will serve 2 purposes. Occasionally target shooting in my backyard ideally to distances of 50 yds with accuracy = to 1” and to dispatch chipmunks destroying my yard. I dont want to spend more than $300 total for rifle and scope. Im thinking a magnum springer in 22 is my best bet as the pcp seem to be too much once you factor in the tank.
Ive done some research but no first hamd experience. Three rifles im considering are the hatsan 95, hatsan 1000x and the benjamin rogue sbd. But open to all recommendations.
One other question, i have plenty of spare centerfire scopes. The reading i have done seems to imply you need an “air rifle” scope because of the way a springer recoils. Truth?
Thanks in advance
