    backpack gun to take groundhog under 50 yards with body shots under 1000usd

    Thanks N2! So I think it's safe to say 85fpe 30 cal body shots do work on groundhog. And based on this thread: https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/30-talonp-carbine-making-105fpe.1062680/ You can get a 30 cal conversion kit from talon tunes for the talon p that produce that much out of a...

    backpack gun to take groundhog under 50 yards with body shots under 1000usd

    Ah, looks like the Talon P Carbine is the one with a threaded barrel and I'd need a 45 dollar adaptor for the DonnyFL.

    backpack gun to take groundhog under 50 yards with body shots under 1000usd

    Now I'm spinning in the Air Force choices. The Talon SS is 40fpe, the P is 50fpe, and the Escape SS is 50fpe. The Talon P is 24" and the others are 27-32, so I'd probably have to take the bottle off to go into a pack. The P would need a moderator, so the P (blem) plus a shogun would be around...

    backpack gun to take groundhog under 50 yards with body shots under 1000usd

    So I guess I'll bump the 1000usd limit to 2000usd and spend some time stalking the classified section. Thanks all.

    backpack gun to take groundhog under 50 yards with body shots under 1000usd

    You're probably right. I've got a lot of traveling this summer and I didn't even grow a garden this year because of the groundhog problem. I can probably save up for next year. The L2 checks all the boxes and more. And it looks like the 30 cal with 350mm barrel is getting over 100fpe and with...

    backpack gun to take groundhog under 50 yards with body shots under 1000usd

    Thanks for this. I totally agree. I just don't want to put a pellet in the eye at 26 yards and have it still breathing by the time I get there. That was just pretty disappointing. Disappointing because I felt like I did my part in terms of placement. Maybe it was a fluke, I don't have a chrony...

    backpack gun to take groundhog under 50 yards with body shots under 1000usd

    Thanks! were those Thanks for the info! Were those kills headshots? Not sure about the power of a factory leshiy classic, but I definitely got ghogs with it, I'd just like a little more "breathing room". I'd also be ok getting something used or potentially a bullpup or some sort of takedown...

    backpack gun to take groundhog under 50 yards with body shots under 1000usd

    Thanks for the response. Is the HP SS one of the more reliable AEAs or are the reliability issues overblown?

    backpack gun to take groundhog under 50 yards with body shots under 1000usd

    I typically aim between the eye and ear from the side. That's why one went into the eye. As for body shot, I'd assume we're aiming behind the shoulder. I've seen videos of a member of the forum with a 30 cal fx at 90+FPE shoot several behind the shoulder and the hog just flipped over dead. I've...

    backpack gun to take groundhog under 50 yards with body shots under 1000usd

    Hi all, Not sure if this is an impossible request, but the title says it all. I sold my leshiy classic short barrel a few years ago when the massive layoffs in this country happened. I loved the gun (25 cal) for it's build quality and compact size (and not made in china for various reasons)...
