—-What I would be doing mostly with the gun—-
-Shooting soda cans, bottles and targets is what I would do mainly.

-Occasional snake shooting. I shoot water moccasins and copperheads because they are the most threatening thing to my dogs and family. They are usually shot while swimming in our lake so it from a pretty far distance, but I usually get a few head shots over the summer.

So basically I need power and speed at a low cost.
The Powerline offers 750fps but is a pump gun. - http://www.pyramydair.com/p/beeman-ss-1024-break-barrel-air-rifle.shtml

The Beeman offers 550fps and is break barrel. -http://www.pyramydair.com/cgi-bin/model.pl?model_id=846

Is 200fps a dramatically noticeable difference? I just need enough to kill a snake and shoot quickly.

Thank you very much,
John

So folks, besides the obvious online gun auctions like Gunbroker.com, where can he go to find their true value? I can address the condition of the firearms but assessing their value is out of my league. And we live far from any large city. I advised him to photo all of them as well as list info on them.
Are there online firearm appraisers that can be trusted?

Thanks.
There are no consignment shops in the small nearby town.
Folks the only way to ANY city over 2,000 people is by plane or boat 90 + miles away or by car 8 hours away and that would be through Canada whom would frown on all those guns going through. The red tape to do so would take months and be a mile long.
Thanks though for the info.
Thanks John r I may just do that in a few days.
They are understandably in grief now, so it will be a few days before I can.
Thanks DJ, some good advice. You know; I love living remote, but at times like this it makes things a bit hard.
Fisher12 thanks for the input and I agree they are family heirlooms. However the man that passed away did not set things up for his wife at all. No bank account, no bonds, no life insurance nothing! She owns the land and a cabin and all the stuff he left on it. Now she has bills to pay with zero income and about $300,000 bucks of heavy equipment many boys toys in the yard, that has sat there for decades along with the guns inside. And sadly he didn’t take care of any of it. So its sell or she will loose it all. But if my son sells it and invests that money she will be ok.
If he had taken care of the heavy equipment and the boy toys they wouldn’t be a pile of rust now and the guns would stay in the family.
Such a shame and a waste.
Thanks guys!
