Got any bottlerockets? If all you have access to is a pellet gun, you will not make a credible impact on cats as a nuisance. They hate loud noises, and if you can produce a noise with a decibel rating they find to be irksome, you will find that they avoid your domain in search of an easier target.





Otherwise, happy hunting...
I would suggest a Gamo, with a pellet velocity of 1000.FPS or faster I prefer .177 but .22 caliber will also work well.


With the Gamo you can mount a scope and shoot very accurate.


This should take care of your problem.





You can also use a live catch trap, to catch them so you euthanize at a closer range to insure a clean quick kill.


With the live trap I would bait it with bacon strips, cat food, sardines and tuna. About a tablespoon full at a time should be sufficient.





They do get out of hand quite fast at times,

';wild cats'; = house cat?

60 meters would be a stretch for the (RWS 460 Magnum - .177(1350fps) .22(1150fps) %26gt;The pyramyd air site has a typo, the rifle has a MV of 1150fps in .22 caliber not 950fps





If you can use any air gun - this should do the trick

If they can take Buffalo and African game they could probably handle even the toughest house cat.





These would work, but are not nearly the quality of the Quackenbush guns.

Here's another one that would do the trick

What kind of wild cat? A Bobcat or Lynx or a mountain lion or just a house cat gone feral?





You probably can't kill even a house cat at 60 meters with an air rifle. Try instead a .22 Magnum or larger if it is a big cat.





Good luck.





H
id recomend a D.A.Q you wont get on from walmart get on airgun fourums and look for a D.A.Q air gun he has built some that will put out over 200fpe
Forget an air rifle its not going to give a humane kill at that range.


A true sportsman is only interested in the welfare of his/her quarry. One shot one kill.


You should'nt have a problem with a .17 HMR at that range.
There are no air rifles that will consistently kill cats at this range, even FAC rated ones, 30 odd ft/lbs just won't cut it. Even a .22 rimfire will not kill them consistently. 22mag as suggested, is the minimum, preferably centrefire.
An air rifle won't be able to kill it especially at 60 m. Depending on where you are going to hunt them go with a .22 Long Rifle (.22 LR), .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire(.22 WMR), or the .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire(.17 HMR).





A .22 LR will be the cheapest. Rifles in .22 run about $100-$300 for factory hunting rifles. They can go into the thousands of dollars if you buy a target rifle. Ammo starts at 1$.00 for 50 rounds and can go to about $10.00 - $15.00 for 50 rounds. You can fire the .22 to about 100 yards and still be accurate if you practice enough. Recoil and noise are both low.





A .22 WMR packs the most punch out of all the calibers i said. Rifles in .22 WMR cost about the same as a .22 LR. The ammo is more expensive but is less expensive than the .17 HMR. .22 WMR can be fired out to 125 yards accurately again practice makes perfect.





The .17 HMR will be the most expensive for rifle and for ammo. The rifles run about $200- $400 for factory rifles. The ammo starts at $11.00 for 50 rounds..17 HMR has about the same range as the .22 WMR, but it fires a smaller bullet so the effectiveness of the rifle will be less than the .22 WMR or the .22 LR.





Overall, I would choose either the .22 LR or the .22 WMR because they fire bigger, heavier bullets at velocities from 1000 fps to 2200 fps. The .22 WMR would have a better one-shot, one-kill effectiveness, but the .22 LR is cheaper and has a wider variety in ammunition, as well as rifles.





For the rifle I would suggest either a semi-auto or a bolt action. The bolt action would be more accurate but it would take longer to get a second shot. If you want a Semi-auto go for a Ruger 10/#. # is the caliber you buy it in. An example is Ruger 10/22. If you go for a bolt action I suggest a Remington 547. That comes in .22 LR or .17 HMR. If you want a bolt action in .22 WMR, I would buy a Savage 93.





The decision is up to you. I hope this information helps.
