I have a Crosman Phantom in .177 with a cheap Simmons scope. It is accurate enough for eye shots out to about 35 yards. It is subsonic by about 7ft/sec. I tried to link one from Bass Pro Shop, and Cabela's, but they no longer have them in stock, so no price. I don't think I have $200 in the gun and scope. It was less than half the price of the Gamo, if I remember correctly.

That is probably the best option for back yard small varmints instead of a .22.

Looking for an auto 28 GA, looking for feedback if you own one of these.

Beretta A400 XPLOR or the Benelli Ethos. Links are for pics, I am looking at a 28" barrel.  As mentioned, any feedback appreciated! 

I didn't care for the rubber cheek piece on the ethos, but obviously both are really nice guns.  I have an A400 in 20 - the one without the rubber in the grip (also don't like that).   Was looking at an Ethos 28ga myself but think I'm going to treat myself to a Rizzini O/U.

I'd guess you'd love either one, but you have to get out there and swing them.  There was a difference for me, and I ended up with an A400.  Just landed and swung better.

We've had an old 1100 28 gauge in the gun closet for decades.  I took it out dove hunting last season and since I like eating doves, I put it right back in there.  I couldn't hit shit.  Granted, these were mostly white wings I was trying to bring down.

I was gifted the same shotgun and had the same exact experience last year. I'll keep it around for my daughters.
