Maybe you can peruse the info. in these links and get a few more ideas.....when we were teenagers, we used to take our .22 cal. rifles to the local town trash dump and shoot rats all day....quite a fete to make quick shots as they ran between cans, etc..and, no scopes.......you should get your friends together and hold "rat hunts"....with the high powered "pellet" guns being produced today, you could start your own "hunting lodge".....
