357 cal air rifle, or even a good center fire rifle, no ifs ands or buts. 177 Power Plant: CO2 Capacity: 16 Stock: All-weather synthetic Muzzle Velocity: 700 FPS Barrel Length: 24' Overall Length: 43.5' Weight: 4 lbs.

There’s a front post, combined with an aperture rear sight that is easily adjustable for both windage and elevation. The open sights of the Winchester M14 CO2 air rifle are quite similar to those of the original firearm. Using a more powerful rifle and relying on hydrostatic shock to compensate for a poor aim is even more inhumane (that is as bad as taking a heart lung shot ), you need an equally accurate shot with a 10FPE. The Winchester M14 CO2 air rifle is really an open sights only air rifle. The CO2 clip holds two standard 12 gram cylinders to produce a maximum muzzle velocity of 700 feet per second. I do agree with the accuracy concern, it is needed to hit a small kill zone to kill a racoon REGARDLESS OF POWER. The Winchester Air Rifle model M14, with durable composite stock, is a semi-automatic, dual ammo gun which shoots both BBs and pellets. And I would never take a shot if I thought there were any possibility of an inhumane kill.

I have taken some nice size racoon with 12FPE air rifles. Though I would disagree about hesitating to use a 15FPE+ air gun. Though the OP thinks that he can consistently hit the kill zone, and he believes that he can get them inside the needed 15 yards. Your rant is understood by me, we coverd that in the first couple of posts.
