The house squirrel I got with my good old 10 pump .177 Crossman. It's a bit under powered at any distance but adequate for that job. I've also got a Chinese B3 rifle that is as cheaply made a thing as you could get. Dad bought it in an auction for $16 and probably overpaid. The stock was made from a pallet... I need to chronograph it, they claim 800fps but online says 400 is more likely. Apparently some cleanup and polish will get it to more like 600. At the very least I need to shim the sights, it shoots low even when cranked all the way up.
At some point I want to buy a good 1000fps pellet gun for longer range squirrel popping...
