I have been considering getting a PCP air rifle in .25 or .30 for shooting in the yard (I have a really big yard) and for taking care of small varmints/pests. I have been using my .22LR with a can on it, but I think the PCP will be a little quieter and be a little better for shooting coyotes that have been invading the compound.
I am particularly interested in any experiences with comparing the sound of a .22LR bolt gun shooting Subs/SV rounds through a can and a .30 and the "modulator" on a PCP.
If I jump into this I plan on getting a FX or equivalant quality gun and I will be shooting "slugs" through them.
Can someone here talk me out of this insane idea.
