    Ryan, please install CCTV cameras around your place and leave them recording so that we can all enjoy the action from the AOS callout that will be end result of this mynah dispatching mission

    Our school uses Wairauch target pistols. Very powerful and reliable. About 300 dollars.

    Those Webely's look the business. HW make a couple of good ones 40 and 45 I think and crosman do a 1377 and a 2240 (multi pump and CO2) slightly cheaper .

    Or go all out get a dive bottle or hand pump and something by Evanix or FX - you could shoot rabbits as far as you could aim well but kiss goodbye to around $1500 Bucks.

    Ive had one of these for 10 years now, dispatched everything from mice under the fridge on a couple of pumps to rabbits at 20m, its not pretty and it sure aint fast to load but she packs a whallop, especially if you give her a few more than the recommended 10 pumps and deadly accurate

    From memory it was about $250, shes due for a $20 seal kit when I get around to it

    Crosman 1317 pump to charge/bolt to load.

    Get yourself a mint BSA Scorpion. .177 or .22 doesn't matter. When I was a teen, I used to smack starlings out of trees with my .22 Scorpion. They were dead before they hit the ground (mostly)

    And.... a good one will hold its value, and, you will be able to bring up the fact that you own a BSA Scorpion during casual conversation. It's a no brainer.
