I dug around in my box-o-gun stuff and found this 90 degree sling attachment that I bought years ago for something or other. Makes the Ranger easy to have across my chest at the ready, while leaving both hands free if needed for tasks, such as opening the barn door quietly. I found a used...

The adjustable reg for dialing down the power during bird nesting season and then back up for squirrel season does make the Pathfinder look just about right... I see how it is, you aren't the BRK guru, you moonlight as a BRK salesman. My folding stock adaptor on the Ranger allows the stock to...

I was looking a little closer at Pathfinders, I assumed it was just a Ranger with a HP bottle, adjustable reg. and a barrel shroud. But it seems it actually has a 10" barrel, while the Ranger/Atomic have a 12" barrel. Interesting they chose to go shorter. I am guessing the shroud is 12" with an...

I pulled out the Ranger yesterday, yanked off the light and pressure pad, and spent a little time with it. In this form, it is fine. When I shoot in a field position, I want a good grip with my support hand (left) pulling the gun into my shoulder, so my trigger hand can be relaxed for a...

Yeah, harder to get to seal to the rifling I read, so size of pellet can be more important.

I am going to be tuning my 22 Ranger down and see what FPE I can get lead free pellets down to. Pretty much all wood or concrete backstops in the barn and tool shed I will be shooting in. I will just have to make sure I am not going to hit the round stanchion pipes in the barn, as that could...

You are the BRK guru. Speaking of BRK, I have been thinking that, if I did replace the Ranger, I might be tempted to look at the Commander or Sahara: not so cramped, lots more air, and an adjustable reg with a gauge. So I could dial it all in for barn shooting in the spring through the summer...

I will be moving my chickens into the barn this year, building a secure area inside the barn. Starlings, sparrows, and pigeons will be able to get in to the general barn area and I will want to be able to smack them down, but my chickens are cream legbars, which are a flighty breed: easily...

Does the Pard have a lot of range of brighness? Can it be turned down low or is it always pretty bright?

Small and simple to use? A siren song, indeed.

Hadn't Heard of Zulus before. Will have to check them out. Any reason you chose it over, say, a Wraith or ATN or Pard? Thank you, -pg

If I were just leaving the light on then I wouldn't have any issues, but I was trying to use a pressure switch to turn it on while pointed in the vicinity of the nest, rather than sweeping the whole place with a light which seemed to cause the sparrows to take flight. I was hopeng a nightvision...

Saw a starling scoping out the barn recently, I'll be picking them and the sparrows off from the trees and lawn with my Taipan long in the BOG deathgrip out of the upstairs window soon enough. Taking care of these pests when they are perched for the night would be fun and effective as well. I...

I think you must be thinking of rabbit hunting: "HE CAN LEAP ABOUT.... LOOK AT THE BONES!"

Hello all, I am settled in at the farm here, and got out to do some deer hunting last fall and I actually got one, which was a nice change of pace, usually I don't see any deer. While I was out there, I saw a lot of fox squirrels. I had seen one or two in the past but was under the impression...
