I have a Gamo Whisper and they are quiet with the lead pellets .177 cal and 1000 FPS but Gold PBA pellets go 1200 and are pretty loud.MojoTexas wrote:Also, you might look into the Gamo Whisper air rifles. I've been thinking about picking one up.
They come with a built-in "noise dampener" that reduces the noise by roughly 50%, according to the description.
They're definitely more of an upper-end air rifle aimed at an adult audience, but if you're worried about nosy neighbors, or you want to do a little surreptitious "pest removal" (e.g., shooting squirrels in your bird feeder), it might be just the ticket.
