Atomic XR getting ready for some “Spring Killing”

Went down to the former dairy to reconnoiter for Spring and maybe get lucky, which I did. All kills at 40 yards, 1 MIL of holdover from my 25 yard zero. All DRT.

And the weight? My ghost carbine is almost 10 lbs with scope, bottle of air, and ammo.

5 lbs. for gun/pic. rails/scope + 1.25 lbs. for Accu-Tac = 6.25 lbs. of outsized goodness. I was plinking these at will today, shooting prone.

Man Luis, that is some fine shooting there! Such a small, compact and light rig, perfect for pesting or walk and hunt! Great pics, and boy was it CROWDED in there! LOL! How fun 🤗.
You can see how a rifle could be out of place in that tight environment. As the weather gets warmer, the pest birds will increase in volume. Am hoping to kill as many as last year. Also am waiting for much warmer weather to go after nighttime rats. I miss badly, shooting rats.

nice!
I like the compact size, I bet it's easy to carry and shoulder in the field. What is the shot count? Do you still have the cayden?
The compact size is awesome, but the rest of the gun? Solid and robust, this little gem is a no nonsense pesting machine. I get 33 shots/3 magazines from a 250 BAR fill down to about 110 BAR. It is an easy to carry rig on a single point sling. I have found it to be very capable of taking critters at the distances I shoot. Out to 50 or so yards it is deadly on sparrows, starling, chipmunks, etc. I’m keeping mine for the long run.

P.S.: I’ve never owned a Cayden.

My mistake I thought that you had the cayden.
 
@Emu, thanks… We have had at least a dozen sightings over our twenty five years here. It’s always a treat to see one. I currently don’t hunt big game.
You do not know how much I would like to have big game at my yard .....

I am grateful to have rabbits, jackrabbits, and doves and ducks around. Where I live we try not to hunt except migratory. It is very easy to kill all local animals. Mice is open season.
