    Do cheap air rifles actually work well for rats etc?

    Have a Benjamin Varmint (Crosman) a .22 which cost me $400 new.

    I'm wondering if these cheaper air rifles are actually any good for this purpose of shooting rats? Seems to have a good punch for an air rifle, sends flat head pellets right through the rats when I manage to hit them.

    Seems everyone else has $800-1000 flash air rifles..do you actually need to spend that much for accuracy and reliability, or will a cheapie like this do the job? Surely it would? be happy to buy an expensive one, but life gets in the way!

    The $500 Stoeger I had seemed a better rifle.....

    Just after opinions, how many of you on here have used cheaper air rifles with success?

    Cheers
