Current Best Sellers for Small Pest Control: This page contains our highest rated air guns for hunting small game and pest control, based on popularity, value, and overall user satisfaction. When selecting a hunting air gun or pellet rifle, look for high velocity (at least 700 FPS in a .22 cal, or 950 FPS in a .177 cal) and be sure to select a pellet gun, not a bb gun. This will provide maximum take down power with the minimum number of shots needed to kill quickly and humanely. Pellets are also much more accurate because of their aerodynamic shape.
There are adequate hunter air guns/pellet guns in just about every price range. If you do not see the right air rifle for you on this page, please use our new PRODUCT FINDER.
