Hello all, I am looking at hunting blinds for turkey hunting next month. Here in WI, we can't use air rifles so my Will Piat tuned, 100 fpe Evanix Rainstorm in .30 has to stay in the house, and I have to pattern my 12 ga with turkey loads, and that gun is very impolite to my shoulder. This all...

According to tracking, I should be getting a 3-12 Zulus for the Ranger on Saturday. I might take it to the indoor range I have a membership at and get a feel for how it shoots without any wind. Being able to just punch in different ranges will make it pretty quick and easy to determine the...

No way, those Ghosts are so ugly. And way too heavy. And I hear they smell funny to. Not tempted at all... nope not even a little. Never mind my Youtube history of Ghost review videos. Not tempted even a little...

@L.Leon Do you notice a little rotation in the BRK folding stock adaptor? Mine rotates just a little bit. I originally though it was my stock on the buffer tube, and there was a little play there, but I fixed that and there is still a little movement, and see it is in the lockup point of the...

Did it come at 13fpe, or did you have to tune it? Can an average Joe adjust the reg and hammer spring on the Vixen, or does it take involved airgun surgery? Thanks, -pg

What about the Vixen do you like? it is an interesting gun, with that gigantic shroud.

Yeah a .22 Standard might be the best option. Well a .177 would probably be better, but I may be more likely to see a unicorn than a .177 Taipan. If I am in the upstairs shooting at pigeons or starlings roosted up high, I might bring a tripod and a chair along. Get a nice steady shot at those...

The barn is 25 yards long, 12 yards wide, and the upstairs is about 12 yards tall. Running a pythagorean theorem twice, I get about 30 yards if I am shooting at pigeons or starlings roosted upstairs from one end of the barn to the other. Most shots will be much less though. Downstairs might...

@MushroomPsyche @TimeRabbit Have either of you tried lead free pellets in your Taipans and, if so, do they shoot well? Since this would be primarily for inside the barn, I don't want to spread lead around if I miss. Thanks, -pg

Good info, thank you. Sounds like it could be done, but a 22 might be a more reasonable platform. I have a BRK Ranger that is fine, but I do SO like the decocking and anti-double feed on the Taipan...

Yeah right, .177s are mythical creatures. hehe In all seriousness, another caliber isn't out of the question, but I will be looking at used if I want a Vet 1 and it will depend on what comes available. I was considering "least likely to be tennable" scenario with the 25. Obviously a 22 or 177...

Hi all, I have two Taipan Vet 1 .25 cal rifles, one long and one compact that I enjoy a lot. The compact is my current squirrel gun, as well as the occasional pest bird in the barnyard, and pest rabbit/woodchuck in the flowerbeds if I am walking about. The long hasn't been set up yet, but is...

I'd like one of each, please.

Hi all, I am getting my BRK .22 Ranger ready for pesting inside the barn this year, and low power and lead free is the name of the game for this task. I have some GTO 22 lead free pellets, but am thinking of ordering a tin of other options as well to see what works best. I was thinking of...

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...
