An air rifle recoils differently than a normal rifle, and will actually recoil forwards after the initial backwards recoil. This force is not taken into mind with normal rifle scopes, so the forward recoil will tear most rifle scopes apart.Sep 11, 2022

There are various types of mechanisms
  • PCP
  • Spring Piston
  • Gas Piston
  • Multi-pump
  • Fixed barrel
  • Breaking barrel
I bet recoil varies a lot.
-- edit --
This is another contender, and the fixed barrel seems more stable:
Umarex Synergis Multi-shot

Reviews are mostly hating the magazine performance.
Really sucks because single shot is fine with me but you've gotta use the shitty mag either way.

I have both the gammo whisper and a selection of .22's I can use a suppressor on. The first cold shot with the can is louder than the Gammo by a bit but once it's warm I'd say the .22 is a little quieter. That's shooting sub sonic ammo of course. Putting out a pile of sunflower seeds in the mountains I live in means going out to shoot a squirrel and finding a big ass bear. Same reason we can't keep bird feeders around for long.
Good luck with the tree rats. They get smarter the more you shoot :mrgreen:

Oh yea, we don't put bird seed out until December time. We have bears that raid our chickens enough as it is.

I have a very basic high powered break barrel with a scope. Accuracy is pretty dead on with a bargain basement scope.
Avoid the pointed pellets, they are not accurate imo. The round ones are dead on

Quite possible with cal and velocity. I have .17 that shoots lights out but anything over half value wind its like its shot out
