Check local laws. Most now define air rifles as "firearms". Many also include bows, wrist rockets, paint ball guns, straws shooting spitwads, rubber bands... anything that launches a projectile. That is the law in my town. No difference between discharging an '06 or a BB gun.
CB Longs crom CCI work great. Shoot them from a long barreled, fixed breech gun, and the only noise is the vacuum created behind them "popping" like a tiny champaign cork when the bullet exits the muzzle. Vewy vewy quiet...
There is always the "neighbor factor" to consider when choosing a backyard pest control arm. Many less than gun savy folks see a .22 as a "real gun", but an air rifle as a "BB gun", or a toy. Cops may or may not be more lenient towards a "BB gun" as well. If there is any chance of a neighbor finding out, or seeing you, an air rifle might be the ticket. Be aware, however, that those with "rabbit power" can be every bit as loud as a standard .22 long rifle, and far louder than CB longs.
