Is this a accurate rifle? Can this kill squirrels and small game

Yes it is accurate and my husband has killed many squirrels. It is loud when we used it for Kindle he first few weeks but then it started getting lower and lower, but this was stated in the manual. This is a very good rifle. I think it will fit your needs very nicely.

Yes it is accurate up to 30' and will kill small game. I have found that if you sight your rifle with one type of pellets and then switch to a different type, you will loose some accuracy.

My gun had no accuracy until I sighted it in... Since then I have killed 4 rabbits with head shots at 30 to 40 feet. I live in a small town and as such did not want to much power but enough to kill rabbits. This gun is small so it's not to noticeable and does the job

Yes it will it you hit them in the right spots. Would be really hard to hit a squirrel tho hah. it's a handgun, so hitting small moving targets is difficult. I recommend a gamo pellet rifle for tthat

Powerful enough 100% NO WAY a 177 pellet will not bring down a squirrel at 1 yard distance, BRANDASHING a PT 85 in a public place " may" get you shot down by a law enforcement officer.They do look and act realistic buts thats all.

it's a bit erratic if you are hoping for true bullseye-type shooting. it's a spring pushing a tiny plastic pellet into the air quickly, so it will not be pinpoint consistent accuracy. but it's fun, and a good purchase if you're not that serious. i have heard [ha ha] that it will get close enough to a squirrel to scare it off a bird feeder every time without injuring them...

Maybe at close range with the right pellets. I personally never point guns at any living creatures. I highly recommend getting a 50 pack of Shoot and See. Much more fun than a barrel of squirrels.

I honestly don't know. All the guys at work use it for squirrel hunting and no complaints. I personally don't notice much difference from other rifles I own.

it's a .177 caliber pellet. if it fits it works...does a great job on squirrels amd it's a very accurate pellet

Don't know about racoons, but squirrels yes! One shotwith hunting pellets. The problem with this rifle is sighting the scope properly. Once it is has, there should be no problems with accuracy. I would think this rifle would take down a racoon also with a head shot, but again, I've no expedience with one, only squirrels.

i can get squirrels from 100 + yards, and they just stop dead in their tracks, or at least i hit em where it disables them and then another shot does the trick. hope that answers your question, i use the winchester .177 cal pointed, comes in a tin with a 500 count. i really like it, and no problems with it at all.

It certainly could but I personally wouldn't attempt it. I consider myself an excellent shot with this great little gun but would never attempt squirrel size game unless it came down to survival. The .177 PC77 is great for small pests such as rats and mice. I would opt for a more ethically appropriate .22 pellet rifle for squirrels.

I bought it as a gift for my grandson. I played around with it before I gave it to him. It only takes .177 Cal pellets. It depends on what you are hunting. .177 pellets may kill small rodents and birds at fairly close range. Crows, rats, squirrels, maybe small raccoons and possum. The most deadly and accurate are the pellets that are hollow pointed. The gun will jam if you load some pointed pellets in the magazine. If you are hunting something bigger, you need a gun (preferably, a rifle) that will shoot .22 cal. pellets. You need high velocity to get a clean kill on something larger than rodents. P-25 is only about 420 fps with a fresh Co2 cartridge. I bought it as a gift for my grandson. I played around with it before I gave it to him. It only takes .177 Cal pellets.

Yes, it's good for small game as I've harvested 16 squirrels with mine using the Platinum ammo they recommend.

If you can hit the crow with the right pellet, it's toast. It's a powerful spring rifle. This thing will take down large raccoons. If you try that, make sure you're zeroed and hit them in the money.

I have taken rabbits and skunks with this rifle. As long as you are not shooting from too far a distance, and your shot placement is good, you should have no problems taking down a ground hog. I shoot mine without the scope, as I was unable to get the scope to stay zeroed. You might also want to consider a .22 air rifle instead of a .177. Although you will not get the same fps, you will get better knock down power. Some of the newer .22 air rifles have a pretty respectable fps rating, if you are willing to spend a little more. I also recommend the Gamo Rocket pellets. I have experienced better accuracy and penetration with these pellets. Happy hunting! I have taken rabbits and skunks with this rifle.

Please don't. The absolute minimum energy required to kill a squirrel with a headshot is 3 fpe, which this thing just BARELY makes. That said, steel BBs in a smooth bore gun are NOT accurate enough to make headshots past 10 yards or so. Buy a springer, or better yet a .22lr gun if you want to hunt small game. This thing is for target shooting.

The rifle is short compared to the average, it measures like 37 inches long. It definitely has more power than a bb gun, the average fps is 550~600 with lead pellets and up to 750fps with non-lead pellets. I recomend this gun for benginners and youth people.
