Since this resurected thread is getting steady attention, maybe I can get some assistance. I've been toying with the notion of buying a pellet gun, but was over whelmed by the price ranges. My assumption is that accuracy probably correlates closely with price. If that's true, how much would it cost to buy a pellet gun that can hit a 4"x4" target at 50 yd?

I noticed that almost all the pellet rifles come with a scope, yet the price of the combo seems very low for even a half decent scope alone. So are the scopes just cheap POS?

And maybe I shouldn't get one, cuz other than an occasional nuisance bird, I'd probably use it to shoot the pet deer in the butt trying to train them to not eat the flowers. But that would probably just train them to come eat them at night when I'm sleeping.

Any suggestions?
