    Long shot, Dead squirrel with no penetration.

    The nuances lost from face to face direct communication is something that is terribly lacking on forum conversations. It can be maddening, and even embarrassing to both parties to have to explain what wouldn't have needed any explanation from just a look. It kills banter. Emoji's help, but...

    N/A Affordable .22 slug gun

    I just wanted to say that the wood on that stock looks fantastic!

    N/A Affordable .22 slug gun

    The reason I am getting an affordable.22 slug gun, is that I don't have one, and if I should want to go squirrel hunting, my State requires .22. Also, a smaller piece of lead flying off to wherever. I love .25 the most though. If I had to chose just one thing to shoot out of an airgun it would...

    No problem, and thanks! I am constantly running numbers myself, it's addictive.

    N/A Affordable .22 slug gun

    Hey SpookyGhost, I think this has gone sideways. I get what your saying, and know how to check all of the ballsitic soluttions out. I am not disagreeing with your numbers but I've lost track of your point. My point is just that with my P15 (49fpe) .25 shooting 34gr MkII, I get 65y for 35fpe(my...

    N/A Affordable .22 slug gun

    It definately could be hit or miss on the QC, and that applies to all of the budget airguns. This really should not scare anybody off, but should just harden you to the truth, these are not tier one guns, but they can certainly be improved to near that level and be relatively trouble free if you...

    N/A Affordable .22 slug gun

    I appreciate posts like this that put out the numbers when they really matter. Such as, when you are just wastefully shooting cans in full auto mode. However, at least for me, priorty one is that extra 14fpe at 120y, especially when we are not talking a lot of energy to begin with. The price of...

    N/A Affordable .22 slug gun

    The Barra 250z, it's long, so if that's an issue the Zelos. And for everybody that keeps chirping in that it's a SPA M30c, know that the M30c does not use 7075 aluminum for the air cylinder, the 250z does. Barra spec'd it that way on purpose. With an unchoked 27" 1in18" twist barrel, and the...

    Takeing the gauge out?

    Yeah, that's too bad, SPA use to always include the socket.

    Snowpeak Need Recommendations for a PCP Airgun for Hunting."

    I will throw another recommendation out, and why. The Barra 250z. While it's oem is SPA, it is different from the M30c in that Barra spec'd the 250z to use a 7075 air cylinder, -much better! The barrel is not choked, 27", and 1 in 18" twist, good for slug shooting. It's not a plinker, but even...

    N/A SLAP slugs?

    I have found that slugs don't work well with any magazine designed for pellets, those being the ones with an o-ring around them to hold the pellet in. Even in my Paradigm, the CARM magazines are worthless for slugs for the same reason but the factory mags work great. On the P15 it's the same...

    Do you ever get fed up with Airguns?

    I understand totally, and I am not knocking firearms at all, I just don't need them anymore. I can do what I want with airguns and I don't worry so much about ammo shortages any more, or when and where I can shoot, because no one can hear me anyway. They are just as accurate, no brass to pick...

    Only target shooting, do you re-zero for shooting each distance?

    I have only recently started clicking. I was a hold-over guy, didn't want to touch my scope. I figured that there was no actual difference. I proved myself to be very wrong. It makes a big difference to me and much easier to make hits, especially in wind, where you are keeping the target on the...

    Do you ever get fed up with Airguns?

    You are not alone. Many show up after decades of doing it differently with PB's and can't make the transition. I have tinnitus. I like as much quiet as I can get. I was getting ready to buy a slew of suppressors for my 10/22 collection when I made the jump back into pcp but I like everything...

    Me too! I'm sorry for your loss.

    WOW! Do I ever disagree with this! The roi for me is the fun I get out of them. I owe them money!

    Tuning Realistically, how do you all keep up with the slug dream??

    It's no different than a gambling addiction. You have the money in your hand, you can go buy anything you want, but you could have more if you just pull that handle one more time. Sure, you could lose it, but it is so much fun to hit. Some people just like to play the game. If that's you, accept...

    N/A SLAP slugs?

    I have a 23" Lothar Walther barrel on my .25 P15 too and it loves Zan 28gr at 887fps, 49fpe. If you haven't tried them, you might want to.

    Lube or not to lube video

    I watched the video when it came out and had a good laugh. Nothing new here. Every barrel is different and what his barrel does is only relevent to him, and that barrel. Everyone that is not happy with their groups should try it and accept the results for what they are, not what they want them...
