Sounds good. Seems like a lot of people around this forum have rat "problems" that they solve w/airguns. Personally, I have 4 pet rats in our house...they are actually awesome pets, but can understand that a rat infestation needs dealt with.

Rats are evil. I used to have a rat problem in my barn until I got my 2300 and my 2400. I am getting really good with snap shooting with my 2300.The rifle is good if I want to just sit down and mechanically separate their heads from bodies. lol

Now it's a couple of times a week killing the little bastards. I've got it under control in my feed bins too. My 2300 pistol is my favorite. I thought the scope was a bad idea after I bought it, but now that I've learned how to shoot it with both eyes open,I can really crack down on the starlings too.

My neighbor bought a storm and he is getting really accurate too. We sit in each other's barns and shoot the rats while we shoot the bull. lol

Welcome to the forum and post spme pics!
