I had a long drawn out paragraph written out but I accidentally refreshed =[
Those are the guns I would like to try to replace my glock 17 replica with (one or the other).
I hunt small game, squirrels or pidgeons. Accuracy is needed from about 30 yards away, that is why I selected models with the scopes. the fps on both is good so im not worried, but I would have to wait about 3 extra weeks on the powerline 1000s to get the cash together. are they both good guns? Are they both accurate?

Also, what is better in your opinions, break barrel or pump?

Are pellet guns effective for hunting?
I have gone hunting with fire arms but now I have a Crosman Phantom 1000 with a scope in .177 caliber.
So now I can go hunting in the forest in my backyard instead of going out to the hunting ranch. Is .177 caliber pellets effective enough to kill squirrels, raccoons, or other small animals commonly found in a pine forest?
For people who are knowledgeable in pellet guns..?
I recently bought a .177 caliber remington airrifle and it works ok at shooting squirrels and birds but it takes atleast 2 shots to kill a chipmunk and atleast 3 to kill a squirrel. I know i’m not shooting it on the wrong places because I shot a squirrel i in the chest a few times and it was still alive. Then I shot a bird and it acted dead but when I went up to it, it just walked away. Couldn’t fly though. I was doing research and someone said “I switched to a .22 caliber pellet gun because it is better to hunt with.” Should I switch to a .22 caliber pellet gun? Will it really make a difference?
