Re: Can you kill a Coyote with a .177 pellet with a well placed shot to the head???
I'm sure a bow would be good but first off I would need to buy a bow which I didn't have. Second I don't have any bow skills and would have to go out of my way to learn it. Also I am a little hesitant to shoot such a powerful weapon in the area I needed to.

Re: Can you kill a Coyote with a .177 pellet with a well placed shot to the head???
Kingspear, what scope do you suggest? I was thinking of replacing the BSA Scope on my Gamo 440 Hunter with an extra Bushnell 3-9x40 that I have in the safe. I just dont know if it would stand up to the spring or not.
Thanks for the suggestion of the trigger. I went ahead and ordered one, but that spring is too expensive at the moment. I will wait until i need to replace the metal spring in the gun first... |

The trigger and scope are the biggest thing the air ram is really not needed. On the bushnel I'm not to sure but I would call the manufacture and ask. Springers eat scopes unlike any other gun because of the unique reverse recoil so make sure that it is airgun rated. Leapers and centerpoint are nice scopes in my opinion.

Re: Can you kill a Coyote with a .177 pellet with a well placed shot to the head???
Niiiice shot placement-! Absolutely fricken excellent..........
Noticed you're in San Diego..... My sister lives in Rancho Santa Fe. They lost their pet Dog "Angel" a 5-6 year old poodle to a coyote one nite. those bastards will tease pets so they'll come out thinking the dog will chase off the "other" animal........ well, one nite it accidently happened. My sister's dog ran out, and that was the last time.... Her husband found the dogs body, minus the stuff the coyote ate....... she was devastated, I was pissed...... I told her let me come down to visit and I'll bring a coupe rifles and I'll kill all of them...... she declined, insisting the neighbors would freak.... Which I wouldn't frcken cared anyway.... I hate coyotes..... I love the .17 caliber myself.... great, fast, flat shooting out to about 150 yards..... definite tack driver.... kinda quiet, considering..... --Sherpa

i think you misread his story...
"GAMO Whisper Air Rifle" not the .17cal WMR varmit riffle. significant difference.

No, I didn't misread.
I meant I like the .17 caliber......... for airguns, I still have my very old .22 airgun....... --Sherpa

I don't want to spend to much in firearm rifles but a good BB gun to do something about it. I don't know anything about BB guns I used to have a real shotgun but it was 35 years ago. Gamo Varmint Hunter 1200 fps .177 cal Tactical Air Rifle w/Scope, Laser, & Light is it good enough? What brand would be the best. Please advise, thanks |
