Yep, but then my veggies aren't growing right so who the heck knows. Most of the squirrels I've been shooting are young and there are a lot of them. The permission is too far for me to go over often to lay out bait for them. I need my faithful retriever Pete, I also need to be able to see my...

Good point, could have been bloating it'd been out for an hour before the pic. I'll never get anywhere near that number, may have 30 or so left, but been reports of real young ones so who knows. Wide open fields to the south and east with a road and huge fields to the west. Haven't seen a lot...

Went out today, all in all not too bad. Didn't break anything so that's a plus, a dumb ass Jack Rabbit made a mistake of being too close and....I had my Tequila Gun at hand with Crossman 14gr hp. Put it out with another shot. Then the Ground Squirrels, 30 yards to 100 yards. Total hits 13...

Arkin, I had some Elements but when you have to use a pipe wrench to move the turrets because the lube they use is garbage, and they admitted it, I switched. I LOVE the turrets, big beautiful solid clicks. I like the reticles a tiny, almost too small, center dot that doesn't cover the target...

35" oal, Donny Koi it worked the best. Compare to my VP 600mm barrel.

You mean something like this?

And....Now I've got a seal leak again, I have to find the write up I did here on AGN on how to fix it, I have the pictures but I never made a copy for my garbage records. It's an easy fix just don't want to reinvent the wheel. It's post #203 pg 11 btw, I added some stuff to the writeup for...

FINALLY got my Tequila out, it'd been quite a while, worked with some garbage 18gr, 580 fps and some 15.3(??) 650 fps, then set up my reactive at 25 yards. Using my red dot which means I can barely see anything and a rest, hit the 4" then the 2" then spun the 1", actually did that a few times...

I'm a touched confused, the shroud isn't touching anything is it? I too have used a o-ring at the moderator, keeps the nasty stuff pointed away from me. I've got two Mavericks a .22 compact and a .25 VP, the Compact was working great then started giving me fits, I scrubbed the straw, gave it a...

Yeah, this is going to cost me $250 to fix the pipe, If the plumber doesn't bury it properly this time, I'm going to get a chunk of steel pipe and put it around it, or a concrete box. If he'd lowered it 2" all would have been good. I'd prefer to pick them off a smidge faster though. :cool:

Well, another day and another what the hell. Got to my permission at 0730 saw 4/5 at 25ish yards and poof they run to their burrows, saw another 5 or so out in the pens at 100 yards, just doing squirrel things, then another 4 or so over to the right at 100ish yards. Ok, the closest didn't pop...

You may not need to if the stars align.

I'm an 'ethical' killer. Ground Squirrels are simply future feed for vultures, destructive disease carrying little pests. the 'ethical' part, a few days back in my yard was a black tree squirrel, 10' away, no need to kill it. Had the same with a bunny awhile back, they get a bit overly...

You'll still need glasses, unless you get the 'variable' lenses implanted. The, IMHO, huge downside is they are permanent once inserted so if the doctor twitches a bit you're off, they are also more expensive, by a bunch. They also, apparently, want you to do a few extra procedures to get the...

Yep, the soul suckers in Sack-0-Tomatoes haven't quite gotten around to air guns yet. "great alternative" is entirely dependent on you tolerance for abuse, generally self-inflicted and the balance of your funds to support the addiction....errrrr sport. I'm in the South Bay Area.
