I occasionally watch video's of exterminators (rats on farms) who
use pellet rifles on the job.  These guys use pellet rifles that
cost more than all my 22's put together and the scopes and night
optics they use are incredible.

Looking some of the equipment up, they are in the thousands.  These
people are phenominally on target with this equipment.  Either that
or they just cut out all the misses (which I'm sure is the case).

I'd love to have something that accurate on my 22, or pellet rifle.

I sadly find the video's entertaining...
