Default pellet gun

Im looking into buying a good quality pellet gun for small game. Preferibally in .22 caliber. I was thinking about maybe buying a Tech Force model. Has anyone heard anything about these guns or have any recomendations for a different gun?

Any help will be appreciated.

I used the el cheapo's at wal mart for years to shoot crows and small game at short range.

i bought a scoped beeman break action for 150. 850 fps and it has a nice wood stock and the build and accuracy is far above wal-mart guns. i think the extra money is worth it to have a rifle tha'll last for years

tech force are those cheapo chinese made air rifles right? buddy of mine had one of their spring powered air rifles, after a couple hundred shots the cocking device gave out. Id go with a good old RWS or beeman or even a benjamin sheridan dont waste your hard earned money on chinese made junk.

That's what they are ,
Tech Force is indeed made in China . I had one up until recently , and while it shot just fine it wasn't the most accurate pellet rifle . RWS , Beeman , Feinwerkbau , Gamo , etc. all make fine air rifles . Buy the best that you can afford if you intend to continue air rifle hunting , cheap junk will always disappoint .

Depending on how extravagant you are wiiling to get check into some of the companys from Great Brittan since thier gun ban they have had to get very creative with thier hunting tools.
