Hi Jeff
Yes its a .22,if I was going to pick a dedicated rat sniper I would go with a .17 more shots per fill. But the .22 is great for other varmints. Yes the PCP,s are more money and then you need your scuba tank and fill adaptor.I have arthritis in my hands and arms,so cocking a break open or springer would be a problem for me.
My buddy uses a real nice RWS break open and he kills tons of rats,chucks and pigeons with it.
I would try your light and see if its to bright.Here is a tip,I noticed that when I have a new battery in the IR illuminator,the light is real brite,the rats seem to notice it for some crazy reason.So I use my new batteries for coyotes and the older batteries that have a little juice left I save for rat sniping,you are close so you dont need much lite to see the eyes. So maybe try and round up a few weaker sets of batteries. Keep me posted!!
