    .22 CPHPs, Sweet Plinking and Pesting Goodness…

    None of my FX guns likes CPHP pellets. I have tried 320mm, 500 and 600mm barrels. They perform well enough at slower speeds in 570 FPS range for pesting at close distances within 40 yards. A few chipmunks found out the hard way that 10 ft-lbs is actually lethal. I now use CPHP exclusively on my...

    .22 CPHPs, Sweet Plinking and Pesting Goodness…

    My BRK Sahara .22 likes this pellet! I have used this winning combination to kill quite a few pests!

    .22 CPHPs, Sweet Plinking and Pesting Goodness…

    I thought they were the same price nationwide at Walmart. It is 6.99 where I live but many stores don't have CPHP in .22. The price one year ago was 6.24. So they did raise the price. At $7, it's the best pellet deal if your gun likes this pellet. Unfortunately for me, only one gun likes this...

    This Starling Really Messed Up My Yard

    I had squirrels nesting in my attic and squirrels/chipmunks chewing in my car engine well. They are pests to be eliminated. Starlings are one of 3 birds to be legally killed any time of the year almost in all states.

    The Pathfinder XR

    Yes, that makes the Pathfinder ideal for many of us. The pursuit of high power is wonderful but I find 90% or more of my shooting don't require anything near 25 FPE. Just because I can and it is safe, my .22 guns are set to be 22 to 31 FPE. If I were considering a Pathfinder, I'd be happy to...

    The Pathfinder XR

    Totally agree! I have the Sniper XR in .22, which I believe has the same action just different stock and barrel, and enjoy it very much. It actually can shoot Crosman HP very well. I would buy the Pathfinder if I don't already have a couple short FX guns.

    Best looking air rifle you've seen, owned or shot

    Traditional rifles with wood or laminate stock are the best looking. PCPs are hurt by air tubes or bottles.

    N/A What's your favorite compact PCP?

    I would recommend FX Dreamline Tactical Compact. It is small, lightweight, accurate and powerful for its size. It's not expensive by high end airgun standard. Since it's a lego gun, it has endless possibilities for you to make it however you like for the day. AAA mini and BRK atomic are similar...

    FX FX Maverick as 1st PCP?

    I have several FX and one BRK. I started pcp with Avenger and quickly upgraded to FX. Don't own Impact because I like the interchangeable magazines for Maverick Wildcat and Dreamline. I have played with friends Impacts and they're clearly more refined than Maverick. If I were to start over, I...

    Chipmunks - pest or protected?

    Same here. I enjoyed watching them until they dug too many holes in my yard. I shoot them in my backyard with airguns. They are mostly close to the house in the front and they are very alert. I have no opportunity to shoot in the front yard. A big mouse trap is used. The most I got was 10 in a...

    Air Venturi Avenge-X .25 cal vs BRK Ghost .25 cal

    This guy is really practical and to the point. What he says about different class guns makes good sense:
