This year, if wife is asleep, they are going to meet Mr. Pellet Gun. deer, raccoon or skunk? they hunt deer around here so it is rare they come close the house here, but i have had some winters when they've bedded down overnight about 20ft from where i'm typing. my pellet gun will sound like a 22 if i use the alloy ammo. every time i change ammo i have to resight the scope. i'm looking forwards to finding ammo that i can stick with all the time as sighting it in takes time and pellets. it will probably be next year before i run out of the current batch and switch to the expensive pellets i bought. then i have to use all that up before i try something else... it was nice before when i could get a one inch group at 33yards (my previous air rifle). this new gun isn't that accurate yet (still breaking it in), but i also need to find the alloy ammo that works the best. some rainy day i'll have to look on-line at more reviews... be careful and don't shoot your eye out! songbird What brand and caliber Songbird? There's two calibers IIRC, .177 and ..22. Mine is a Gamo Air Recon .177 with an air rifle suppressor built in. Being that is spring operated it isn't that quiet but it gets the job done within 20 feet maximum for my old eye's. The graduated iron sights are fairly easy to dial in. I shoot from the back porch to the back fence, about 18 to 20 feet. I had an offer the other day to go back to gunsmithing but turned it down. I closed my shop in 1982 and haven't looked back. There's two things most Texan males seem to thing they know all about, guns and women, and, in my opinion, they don't seem to understand either. G |
