Talking Crosman Strom

Was sitting out in the backyard this morning and happen to spy a tree rat giving me the eye. I just happen to have one of my air rifles with me as I often do. I have had this rifle for just over six months now. Although I like this rifle very much it is just a little to loud for city shooting, normally, as i live in a quiet area. I generally tend to favor one of the nitro pistons that I have for this short of situation. However, it has been along dry spell as I have not been albe to spend the quality time thinning out the local vermin. So I raised the Storm and broke the barrel and incerted a Crosman Premier Domed Pellet in to the chamber and returned the barrel to battery. Raised the rifle to my shoulder and centered the little rats head in the crosshairs now figuring that he was setting at between 35 and 40 yards I slowly applied pressure to the trigger. When it broke the rat fell. This has been my experiance with the partiular rifle. I just wish it was a little quieter. It has plenty of power for squirrels out to 50 years. It is deadly accurate with several brands of pellets and the simple 4x scope that tops it is just fine for removing vermin.
