I have a bunch of obnoxious bluejays that need to go. What's a decently accurate pellet rifle that can be scoped that won't break the bank?

I have a crosman I use and it works for me. Can you officially shoot blue jays in your state? Otherwise I’d just be shooting at blue pop cans wink

Did you know that all native birds in the US are protected under the Federal Migratory Bird Act? You are openly asking for help to break a Federal wildlife law.
The only birds with no regulations are English Sparrows, European Starlings, and pigeons. All feral birds.
May want to edit your post.

Yet it's okay for everyone to stop on the road and kill them.

Crossman 2100 will serve you well. 10 pumps and a pellet. I killed a ton of squirrels with mine a long time ago.

Seneca dragon flys seems to be one of the best out there right now for the price. Easy pumping , not too expensive no need to worry about busting scope like with a springer air rifle since is a multi pump

So to be honest if you need something just for this deal you can get a daisy 880 for like $50 . Things are stupid accurate, won't break a non rated scope , don't require a special hold to shoot well an their basic disposable for the price.

In Georgia all nonvenomous are legally protected.

Man I hope they don't come this way. Nebraska is just one state over.
I've heard the best way to thin chupes is to get on the roof of your house with night vision goggles and crop them back when they try to get into the hen house.

cross man some come with a scope


The rifle has no will of its own it may be used for evil but there are more good men than evil men and evil will be corrected by good men with rifles.
