Go to youtube and do a search for "rat shooting" then sit back and enjoy. Many of the exterminators are using 1K dollar air rifles and 1K+ dollar scopes but are getting pinpoint head shots.
I find it crazy any place would allow their rat population to get so out of hand in the first place.
I bought a very expensive air rifle for varmints, figuring it was a once-in-a-lifetime expense and better than buying a crummy one and THEN paying again for a good one.
The gun is not accurate at 50 yards, unless a group as big as a baseball equals accuracy. It's very accurate at 30 yards. I'll admit that.
The more time passes, the more I think I should have gotten a bolt .22 and CB rounds.

What about hogs? Permit required?
How does a wild hog taste? Similar to domestic?

In Florida, you can kill wild hogs all day, every day. No license. No bag limit. You can kill females and shoats. You can use an AK-47 with a 30-round magazine. You can use traps. Florida really wants to get rid of hogs.
I have not eaten a feral pig, but people say they taste great. I'm the only person in Florida who wishes feral pigs would come to his farm. I can do incredible things with a good piece of pork.

I bought a low dollar break barrel pellet rifle, and it does better than a softball at 50. Not great, but it'll group the bottom of a beer can. Does better with heavier pellets.
My 10/22 will do a lot better than that, with CB (long) caps. Short ones....not so much.
You don't know the half of it. The Florida Fish and Wildlife people told me I could kill nuisance squirrels in my yard out of season. I have a blind set up right beside my house. I'm going to go sit in there with a scoped Marlin 60 and show them what happens when they eat my blueberries.
