    I have the same issue as the OP. Our life sentence block used to have a good kilometer safe zone to the west and I happily blazed away at maggies etc in the trees/paddocks. Unfortunately there are now houses less than 300yds away in that zone so the rimfire is a no-no.

    I laid out the dosh and got a serious air rifle, namely a 40ft/lb Daystate Air Wolf in .22 cal. This thing is deadly accurate and I have killed 10-12 maggies in the last three days, at least four of them over 80yds, none closer than 65yds. Knocked two mynahs off in two successive shots yesterday, 87yds the first and 85 the second.

    It's very quiet as well but the cost rules it out for many people.
