Since you've got a .22, look op CB caps, and Aguilia super-colibris.
CBs don't feed in a 10/22. I have used them but have to insert each one individually with a pair of needle-nose pliers. But they do fire. I havedispatched some racoons in attics with the CB's.

I would recommend a .22 cal pellet rifle over a .177 as the .22s (even well under 1000+ fps) deliver a real whallop.

I have an old Chinese Pleasure KS-1 .22 cal air rifle (single-break cocking). I doubt it hits more than 500 fps, but not only drops squirrels easily within backyard range it also adds some hofferfesin to the veggies in the garden with easy head shots.

Paid $5 for it. Will post a pic of it maybe later tonight or tomorrow night.
