Squirrel hunting gun recommendations (sorry)

Sorry, I know this has probably been asked a bunch of times. I tried searching the forums but could not find what I was looking for.

I had bought an Umarex Synergis Elite in 22 cal, but had horrible results with it. I ran a couple hundred pellets through it (crosman premier hollow points, some Benjamins, heavier H&Ns, etc), but could not get any accuracy with it. I'd group a few right where I wanted, then without any changes, the POI would change, and also random flyers as well.

I just returned it today, so I am weighing my options on what to get next.

I live in Illinois and primarily will use it for squirrels, rabbits, and some plinking. My budget isn't huge, so that's why I was looking at multishot pumps. I was also looking at the Umarex Notos PCP, but I have zero experience with them.

Thank you in advance for the info.

Other  Enter... the Dragon

Parker Hale Dragon that is...😉
I've had this for a while and know that not many have seen or shot one. It's my second, the first being a Match version in 177. It was not impressive in terms of accuracy and valve durability but I've come to learn there are "Mk1" and "Mk2" versions which the difference seems to be hardened valve parts. I've also repaired a couple for AoA as they are finicky to set up the valve letoff . These others were like this one - sporters in 22. The valves are letoff type where the trigger holds it closed till the sear breaks, then pops open to let the air out. They are incredibly robustly made, as seen in the pics of the pump mechanism. It is a multi-leverage arrangement. The effort isn't all that high for a 12 ft lb single stroke but it's a bit awkward because the stroke is so long. It actually closes itself in the last part of the stroke.

Note the multi-leverage arrangement with roller bearing, lever lock, and manual reset valve.
It's a process to shoot one... unlock lever, swing open fully, set valve, close pump lever, open bolt, insert pellet, close bolt, release auto-safety, THEN you can fire... don't think you're going to burn up a lot of ammo per session.
It is HEAVY from all the thick steel... over 11 lb with no scope...
Still... neat old rifle to shoot.
I've put this one up for sale and have a couple of prospective buyers, so I wanted to share some details while I could...

I traded with rangur1 a couple of weeks ago for this awesome FX wildcat. Wife wants to do some home improvements and I have too many guns so this one has to go. It has a saber tactical rail (with bubble level). It also has an aftermarket hammer spring tuning device by high pressure pneumatics.

Comes with 3 mags by Ellis from the forum and moderator. Shoots lights out and is very easy to tune.
(Scope not included)

Asking 1,000 plus shipping. I won’t be trading on this one thanks.

N/A  PCP cold weather shooting

So the weather was relatively pleasant. Bright sunshine, no wind, but it was coldish. Maybe mid 20's F?

Things started out great, but as I was out there longer it seemed like my shots were more erratic, especially the drop. I decided that I had better quit when I started fiddling w the scope more than is healthy... before I just made it worse.

The extremities were getting pretty numb by then anyways, so I retreated to the nearest beer house.

Gonna warm the guns back up to room temp & see how they perform in the basement today

What do you think, does chilling a gun kind of make sense as a cause of all of this inaccuracy? They were working great to begin w..

FX  Fx wilcat mk3 problem with power

Hello, could you help me with the problem I have, it's with a Wilkat MK3 compact, I changed the Huma regulator and adjusted it to 105 bar and the 4 on the adjustment wheel to a speed of 885 fps with a 18 gr JSB, it's a .22 cal. What happens is that if I stop shooting for more than 15 minutes it loses consistency and drops to 865 fps and I have to shoot 3 or 4 times to get it back to 885 fps. I don't know what can be done to stop this from happening, because it's very annoying when hunting. Thank you for your help.

Optics  SOLD Element Helix FFP / FX No Limit Rings (SOLD/Pending funds)

((***PENDING*** ))

Hello, I have a well cared for Element Helix 6-24X50mm FFP scope and set of brand new FX No Limit rings (picatinny 30mm). The scope is in fantastic shape, zero issues. It has the APR-2D FFP MOA reticle. I sold the rifle it was on and no longer need the high end scope. The scope retails for $500 after shipping and taxes. The rings are around $100, new. So, basically its a $600 set. I'll take $350 for the scope and rings, half of new considering the shipping is free inside the United States. PayPal payments only. Feel free to reach out by call or text to Brett Williams (870) 450-8479. Thanks for looking

Benjamin  Marauder Wood Stock Finish?

Hi all,
I just purchased a new Benjamin Marauder standard rifle with a Turkish walnut stock. I’m not thrilled with the stock- it’s pretty bland, and it looks like there’s just a light stain on it. I’d like to refinish it. I don’t know what the factory finish is, so I don’t know what to use to “strip” it before I refinish it. Do any of you know what the finish is? Thanks!

Easy bell target.

I bought this cowbell with a handle at Tactor Supply for $3.98. I think it’s for calling in you cows or something. It had a plastic handle grip that I slid off. I can now stick the handle in the ground wherever I want it and then have a good bell target.

The steel is pretty mild. It definitely wouldn’t stand up to firearms, but it’s doing okay with my break barrels.

Brocock/BRK  Some BRK Sniper XR scope / cheek riser questions

If anyone is able to help I'd appreciate it. I recently got a Sniper XR and having a few small issues I am hoping to correct.

1 - I am using low scope rings, but the cheek riser barely goes to a level where I can still snug the set screws. Does anyone make/sell longer riser posts?

2 - I've mounted my scope with low rings and I nearly maxed out on the elevation. If I use my Eagle Vision adjustable rings then the scope is way to high for even an extended riser. I can't use just dovetail adjustable rings as the front ring needs to mount forward over the barrel. Does anyone make an adjustable height 'low' ring?

High BC pellets .22 vs .25

Im looking for a gun to shoot in windy conditions with better BC and consistency than a .22 18gr.

I've seen people really are liking the new JTS 22.07gr and AEA 21.9gr and good BCs. Or the tried and true 33gr .25 pellets. Heard the 29.5gr AEA are good as well.

Between the those above (or others I'm not aware of) which would you pick for consistency and lack of flyers. I have no experience with these pellets. A ton with 18gr and decent amount with 44.75 .30s. I thought about a .30 again shortly but just too much gun for my needs.

Main shooting is pesting. Max distance is generally under 100yds closer to 85yds but do stretch it out occasionally. Just want something to buck the wind better without going down the slug rabbit hole.

What would you like to buy new in 2025

I have been looking at review videos and watching shot show videos , and I was glad some things were being showed that I really liked.
I'm a guy of big stature , so when I seen the Hatsan Factor sniper long I liked it very much. But so many reviews were positive , and Negative about " Hatsan products ' that I did not want to fall into the being stuck with a Hatsan product that was not working. Although I would love to have a good working sniper long , or the bullpup which has a longer barrel at 32" , a good running Blitz 777.
When I seen the Avenger XL I knew right away that I was going to have to get it. I also like.30 cal , and .22 both , so I can 2 calibers in one gun. I also like the Micro , and will get one just want to do a side by side under the barrel twin tube mod for it. I think it would be bad ask that way , and the you could have some real fun turning that reg up to 3,000 for some real power shots. What do want for 2025 ?

Supggestions wanted for a Scale for weighing pellets.

I know there are different opinions concerning weighing pellets to increase accuracy but I want to give it a try.

I need to buy one so I seeking your suggestions.

What I desire is repeatability. I currently have a small digital scale used in reloading but if I use it to weigh the same 8.44 grain pellet five times I'll get five different weights.

HW/Weihrauch  HW30/R7 Custom Stocks

I just received an email from Custom stock UK. I had inquired about this some time ago and was told it would not happen, well here is the verbiage from the email.

"Hi We are now taking orders for stocks to fit the HW30." There website only says HW30 but I assume it fits the R7 also.

Diana  This just in from the Netherlands... Diana 35

Dealt with a great guy in the Netherlands. Made a deal, and a couple of weeks later, It's Christmas in February... The metal is nearly flawless and it looks like I can simply buff the stock back into shape. Thanks Bjorn!!!! This thing shoots strong!

Other  Low powered .25?

I'm getting this crazy idea to setup a low powered .25 gun. I'm thinking around 650 FPS for a 25.39gr pellet for around 25 FPE. This will be used for close range pesting within 15 to 20 meters. I'm not sure which gun yet but I'm thinking of putting a red dot on it instead of a scope to keep it as lightweight as possible. I also have a DNT Thermnight that I can use on it if I ever find myself with some night ratting opportunities.

I was initially thinking of a spring airgun and using iron sights but I've been bitten by a springer's sensitivities before (TX200). I know they can be very accurate "if I do my part" but most of the time, I'm just not willing to bend over backwards for it. I just don't like missing shots when I'm shooting at animals. Although I love the traditional looks of a gun like the HW95, I think I want to go with a PCP for this low powered setup.

No more Taipans at Utah Airguns?

A buddy of mine is interested in getting the new Veteran II ADF so I looked on UA’s website and they no longer list Taipan. Taipan still list them along with Talon as the only suppliers in the USA. It’s got me scratching my head, surely their sales are good enough for UA to keep them in stock, I wonder what gives? Anybody heard anything?

N/A  Tx200 vs #1 Diana 75

I keep telling guys I shoot with my TX200 shoots just as good as my Diana 75. So the last 2 days I did some pellet testing. All done at 23 yards, front and rear rest. TX foes not take a back seat except the D75 is the one rifle that is not to bad at this distance. At 10 meters they ptretty much all put most everthing in a small hole. Get past 20 yds you can see differences. This was the first I tried sny .453 pellets, glad I only bought one tin. I keep saying, one shot for all the money, I will take my TX200.
