Ahh yes, that's where these come in handy... For co2 or PCP, these make it virtually silent.I have a clan of starlings in my area and I find dead songbird babies in my driveway on occasion and I'm sure it's the starlings. My neighbor gives them a bb injection once in a while, but my wife will have nothing to do with it. All my shots need to come when she's out and then I blame it on my neighbor....
my research pointed me the same direction. as far as cheap pellet guns go i have a Benjamin varmint in .22 and while it's reasonably powerful (20+ fpe), the trigger is like nothing I've ever experienced. it's awful. many of the box store pellet guns are this way. you're better off avoiding them. that said the bottom line is just about anything (except maybe a fully automatic bb gun) will kill starlings within 30 yards.The Hatsan 95 is another low cost air rifle. I have not owned one but did research on them. They are known as one of the best values out there. Made in Turkey I believe.

Look at Walmart I found one with 2 interchangeable barrels (22/17) pellet rifle also check out 5 sports. I would assume you could find one around $100I would like an air rifle to kill starlings with. I need to be accurate to 25 yards and don't want to spend a lot, any suggestions?
