Can I use a high powered 1300fps pellet rifle with this?

Yes, a safe backstop is highly recommended. Heavy wood, semi-truck heavy duty fiber reinforced mud flaps, etc.

This backstop contains an 1280 FPS 40 grain .22LR so I am quite sure it will contain a much lighter pellet even though it is slightly faster.If you are concerned though, place a couple 2X4s in front of the trap opening for added absorption protection.Hope this helps B. Brown.Ron

Absolutely, I fire a 20 cal rifle into mine @ 1300 fps. I also use the trap for my 22 and 17 cal rifles. I only thing I had to do was to elevate the rear of the trap to keep the pellets from bouncing back out of the trap. Once I did that I had no problems. I do recommend the trap, especially for garage shooting.

I would stay away from steel, brass, copper, tipped pellets, my son shot clear though a full 55 gallon drum of kerosene that was a good thick drum with a 1200 fps .177 pellet rifle using a penetrator pellet. I was upset and had to scramble to find other containers to put it in since it was flowing out both sides.

yes. just buy a strong scope like utg because it will pound it pretty hard. the rifle is very powerful and not really made for plinking. it is a hunters rifle.

Yes it shoots 400fps with .12 gram, 375fps with .20 and 350 with .25 airsoft bb's

This rifle is powerful but the problem is it might be a little to powerful for most pellets due to the weight of them you loose accuracy if they are not heavy enough to slow them down

yes... but it all depends on how much feet per second your bb gun can produce if it can do 700fps your good

Hey Jon! I have two of these ...they are toys for target plinking only. The sights are not that accurate, and for pest control, you better be right on top of what you want to exterminate. I am not sure of how big a pest you want to control, but you would be better off getting a pellet rifle/scope combination with a muzzle velocity of 1000 fps+ (and maybe .22 instead of .177) if you're serious about controlling varmints. Just my opinion. Good Luck with the hunt!

I bought this for a .22 benjamin np xl 1100 that shoots a 14.3 grain pellet about 1100 feet per second and one of the targets fell off. The targets are barely tacked on. My brother does a lot of hunting and he said lower velocity rounds might be ok if you weld the targets on better. No guarantees though. Hope that helps.

These pellets definitely hit hard, but you need the power for them. An air rifle with >20 fpe (PCP) is pretty much required to keep from lobbing these pellets too much. You could give an 18.13 gr Jumbo Heavy Exact pellet a try before you jump up to these beasts. Check out Hawke's Chair Gun application to check out down range energy and trajectories. You will get 90% kinetic energy and 80% velocity at ~ 30 yards (~500 fps.) with a 20 fpe gun.

That will depend entirely on the weight of the pellet. The gun is rated at 1650 fps with lightweight PBA ammo. I would not recommend using that as it can damage the gun internally. I would go for something 10 grains or heavier, that should bring the velocity down into a more acceptable and more accurate range. Thanks Pyramyd Air Team

Certain states (i.e. Illinois) will allow the sale of a pellet gun ONLY IF the .22 pellet travels at 700 fps or slower. There is no restriction for the .177 caliber pellet (in Illinois).

Yes, but it will need to be in rilfe mode and set to it's highest power level. I only know this since I took it on a hunting trip as fun gun but ended up using it, A LOT! I will say you may need to take a second shot with this rilfe because it did stun some of the birds. For small birds you really need a pellet, not a BB, and a rifle that can shoot up to 600fps, this rilfe can't.

It will still have the loud crack noise when you fire this pellet. I know it did when i fired the .177 cal pellets in my old air rifle rated at 1000fps. I imagine with the 22 cal. at 850fps it will do the same.

Yes, I have hit mine a lot with high power rifles ie .223 and .308 just knocks the paint off.

Absolutely not. This is a junk. I tried two of them. Both were useless. It seems like a kids toy. Go with a regular pcp air rifle, maybe a Benjamin Marauder.

I definitely would not use this for hunting as it would not have enough power for a clean kill. The animal would suffer. Honestly, you shouldn't hunt with anything below a .22 cal rim fire cartridge.

yes it can this shoots at 1000fps you can shoot squirrels with a gun that shoots with 700fps

Yes and no. I use this scope to find high traffic trails in the hills above my house (1300yds). As for seeing where your bullet hit the target or getting a really close look at your target. This scope will only dissapoint you at that range. I would go with a higher power scope.
