![]() Gas piston = Same as springer but uses a gas piston instead of a spring It's a "cheap" investment and if you want to delve deeper into airguns you can get a PCP rifle later on. What you need to ask yourself is what do you actually need? Would mousetraps be the best option? If you don't know anything about airguns and have no real interest outside get a pellet gun for pest control then I'd go with the springer. Once you have everything they are much more comfortable to shoot than springers. PCP: More expensive and require additional equipment to charge the rifle. Spingers: Cheap, reliable and basically zero maintenance. PCP rifles are more expensive, require a lot more maintenance and equipment but are more comfortable to shoot once everything is set up. ![]() Unless you have a mice/rat infestation I wouldn't recommend it, then again mouse traps could probably solve your problem regardless. PCP are more of a comfort thing, they are really good if you shoot a lot. I didn't properly take care of it, it was starting to rust in the end but it held it's accuracy at 10yards for over 10 years without me ever sighting in the scope after the seller sighted it in for my. As I kid I had a Gamo springer that I probably shot over 20 000 shots with over 10 years. ![]() With a springer you can get everything you need for $200 or lower and they are easy to care for and very reliable. So the question comes down to how much you want to invest. There are cheap chinesium compressors for around $200 that will do the job or you can get a hand pump for around $100. The problem with PCP is the extra equipment you need, you can't use a normal compressor to fill it but a special purpose built one. You don't need anything above $500 for mice and rats. ![]() If you want a PCP then I would suggest the Air Venturi Avenger, it's an excellent gun for he money. As for caliber 4.5mm (.177) is good enough for mice and rats up to 25 yards. ![]()
