Which pellet gun to shoot magpies with?

[carlson]

Alright they are getting out of control around my place. What pellet gun are you guys using to take care of them?

I got a Gamo 1300 fps and it does the job very well

I use a crosman 1322 (the 1377 in .22cal) pellet pistol for grouse while im out hunting deer, drops em on the spot most times.
Ive killed many magpies with cheap Chinese .117 pellet guns that shot under 500fps and even with .117 zinc bbs out of a daisy repeater. Its more about shot placement and the kind of pellet you use I find.(Just like a real rifle different air rifles like different ammunition so experiment.)
I use hollow points on pests for maximum expansion.

That sounds like a good one

Weihrauch HW100T in .22 cal pushing a 18.13gr JSB Exact Jumbo Heavy

Crosman Nitro .22 works great for me.

Forget the pellet gun. They wise up pretty quick.
Make yourself a magpie trap out of chicken wire. Dog food and tin foil works good for attractant.

12 GA with #7 "pellets" haha.
I'm thinking I could really use a pellet gun for the pigeons at the front door of the office. Bird doo doo all over the sidewalk and the nests should come down. Maybe a little late night tactical mission is in order

Any of the air rifles are fine head shots with 499 fps is fine

this......I shoot every one I can, but they get wise really fast. as long as you keep scraps in the trap, they can't resist.......then kill 'em!

I have this one and magpies aren't sticking around. Lol

I tend to send death to them from 300 yards away. They don't seem to wise up to that much for some reason.

Rat poison cubed up in a bowl of dogfood cleans them out in a hurry.
