[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2718276, member: 5412"] No matter what model you get, you want one that is the most accurate. We bought Gamo's at the power plant before I retired to control the birds that were roosting inside the building. Barrel cockers. Worked great for awhile, but the accuracy went away pretty quick. The scope is attached to the receiver, and after a few cockings, the barrel linkage gets a little slack into it. Won't hit the side of a barn after that. RWS makes a side cocker. Is not cheap, but I've seen Viking from this forum hit a bird at 75 yds with it, and its had hundreds of rounds shot through it. The barrel is mated to the receiver just like a standard rifle, so no chance of slack in some linkage causing problems. [/QUOTE]
