    Remember your offset when shooting out of your dining room window...


    Will need to cycle manually but are pretty quiet. Adequate penetration on smaller creatures.


    The 7.62 of sub-sonic .22lr rounds.
    Think for yourself. Question authority.

    Will a forty mike-mike attach to the .22?

    Barring that, you could always go old school:


    And before anyone loses his mind, yes, I know that's supposed to be a gopher and not a raccoon.

    Clearly you need an ACOG TA-31 on that top rail. It'll allow you to pinpoint important racoon vitals with laser precision. Plus it's what Marine Force Recon XXXtreme uses, so it will ensure that you never miss.

    Remember, two to the chest, one to the head every time. Those bandit eyed rodents will never know what hit them.

    Same problem. Used above out of Marlin Rifle. No problem. No neighbors knocking on the door. Another option bait below with tuna but then you have live critter to deal with.

    Go find a mean ass junkyard tom cat like Jack Bauer from Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Have him launch a wicked torpedo of truth.

    +1 That was my thought as well.

    The 22 shorts are going to be pretty damn quiet, but won't likely cycle. You could always change platforms to say a Gamo Whisper Pellet Rifle (very quiet) or get a bolt gun:



    It has a threaded muzzle for the future use of a Can, isn't going to be ammo sensitive (no action to cycle) and is relatively inexpensive (as compared to a Can). You could shoot all those low velocity target rounds without making too much noise.

    I know you didn't ask about changing platforms, but the only other option, if noise is an issue, is a Can.

    Nice looking plinker John.

    I second the suggestion of getting a can or finding a buddy that has one to come take care of your issue for you. He will appreciate the opportunity. I know I would. The only pests I have around my house is deer ...... and that's a whole 'nother story.
