I have CYV, so our yard is fenced with a 7 foot high block wall, I considered doing that, but the rats are very skittish. They hear any sound, just opening the sliding door and they're gone. The poison is the best bet. I wouldn't need a big rifle. I have this Crossman 1320 Special Edition Pellet Rifle I bought about 8 years ago off their website. You could choose your barrel length, the stock colors (camo), the trigger and suppressor color (silver), and bunch of stuff, like .177 or .22, I took .177 because you cannot fire .22 at our TV ranges. I added a UTG Bugbuster rifle scope and I think I can take out a rat at 20' with no problem, it's just getting the jump on them is the hard part.

The 850 magnum.
