    Bipod

    If I’m shooting off a bench I prefer a sand bag. The one I use is actually a rear bag. But I like the hight. If Im out in the field, I’ve modified a good camera tri-pod into a rest. It does not “hold “ the air rifle. It’s just a rest. Taking care of one rat at my work. Same bag. Pay no...

    Do copper pellets eliminate lead exposure?

    I’d guess yes. But It depends on the thickness of the copper plating. Just buy a few different brands and try them out. I just Re read your question and edited my reply. Shoot them into “stuff “ around your yard where you can recover the shot pellets and see if there is any lead exposed...

    Anyone see a problem here?

    And I understand your point. Not interested in getting political. But without the back story we do not know why these things were confiscated. We all know there are a lot of idiots out there. And it only takes one to ruin it for those of us just trying to mind our own business.

    Do squirrels release fear juice?

    Maybe there are not as many squirrels as you think ? Before you shoot the one squirrel. Do you see multiple at the same time at your bait station ? Or does it just seem that there is always a squirrel at your bait station so you think you have a lot of squirrels? In my yard. I never know if I’m...

    WestHunter Adjustable Scope Rings - Formula to calculate how much they adjust

    Everyone’s requirements are going to be a little bit different. I would use these rings again. With my modifications. Depending on the application. This gun groups very well at 15 yards or less. But beyond that the group’s open up quickly. So due to the close range I needed a lot of adjustment...

    WestHunter Adjustable Scope Rings - Formula to calculate how much they adjust

    I experimented with a set of these rings. I believe these rings are not intended to be adjustable for angle. Only hight. I actually milled off the serrations on the lower ring. About .005” off each side. Then I was able to make them adjustable for angle. As far as zeroing my scope. I use...

    News

    My local news channel teamed up with a national news organization at the beginning of the year. (I’m sure it’s happened all over the US) So yeah. A few local stores then it’s passed off to some other reporter from some other state. But I mostly watch YouTube. I’m in between internet providers...

    Barrel Polishing Question?

    No body had asked the 349.99 dollar question. How does the gun shoot ? Does it not group well ? So you believe that is because of the roughness and tight spots in the bore Or does it group consistently , but the roughness and tight spots bothers you ?

    Ground Hog bait?

    Try fruit, like watermelon. But I recommend you wire the slice off to something immovable. Because the ground hog may try to drag it back into its hole/home.

    P-Rod

    It is my understanding that Marmot Militia barrels are no longer being manufactured. That being said. I have one in my Prod. I bought the entire gun used. So I don’t know how it shot without it. But I can say It shoots great. It’s my back yard, night time , CQC go to air gun. .

    Verifying Humane Dispatch of Squirrel ?

    Do squirrels have a different nerve reaction than rats with a kill shot to the brain ? Most of my pesting is on rats. So I’m familiar with how their body jumps twitches and helicopter tail. I’ve recently dispatched two squirrels. (.177 Sub 12 FPE , 20 yards or less ) After the initial head...

    Barrel wobble

    If the pivot screw is already “tight”. Unscrew it first. It could be bottomed out on a pivot bushing. So you cannot tighten it anymore. If that’s the case then you would need to get/make up some shims to remove the wobble.
