Tomorrow I plan on ordering one of these rifle combos that include a 3X9 power scope. It's the .22 caliber gas piston version and the QE (Quiet Energy) feature which is supposed to cut the sound down appr. 50%. Feedback says these scopes aren't all that good and don't have parralax adjustments but I will go with it until I figure it's time to upgrade. Does anyone have preference to Pyramyd Air or Air Gun Depot as the better place to by air guns? Does one have better customer support than the other? There are rifles listed on Ebay for a little less. If anyone owns one of these rifles, maybe you could shorten my learning curve as to the better pellets to buy. The main use of the rifle will be for keeping garden and backyard pests at bay as well as just plinking. I don't plan on casting pellets. Thanks in advance for tour input.
