Got my 2260 multi shot pcp put back together after shaping and finishing the K98 mauser stock. American hickory wood with a couple coats of mix wax natural stain and 2 coats poly. Needed a durable finish for this purpose built rig.
The stock smelled like ham or bacon when I was cutting and sanding it! Made it difficult to finish, since I always got hungry for breakfast when working on it.
The sparrows are on to me! They stay out of sight of my shooting position, but their numbers keep growing. So I figure make a rig specifically for this need.
Enter the 2260 pcp. Set up for 30 shots at 11 fpe with RWS Super H points, and they're hitting dimes out to 30 off a rests.
I'm using my kids old playset as a blind now lol. I sit inside the lower section and it gives me a clear 20 yard shot to all their nests they've built into the vines that grow all over the fiber wires. I don't shoot blindly into that, I wait til they come out to sit on the upper guide wires or the cross wires over my yard. Using the trees as a back stop, I've cleared 10 so far, only recovered 3 that fell were I could get them.
Got this trio a few minutes ago. 2 head shots and one chest. All at roughly 12 yards.
This one was keeping an eye out for me!
What a way to go, with a stupid azz look on her face!
