If things go well, I hope to end up with a .20 cal Mrod this year. I'm more likely to end up with a vintage Sheridan, though (not complaining one bit). If I am lucky, I'll be able to get both.

It does not yet exist. The Beeman Underlever, regulated, .30 cal, shooting at 700 fps with alloy, prolly 630 or so with lead. Slugs in the 550fps range but as long as it shoots them, YAY.

I know you do not mean this , but find a nice hill fill some soda cans with dirt prop a stick under them hook a string to stick get back to desired distance , and pull string. Open sights are better for this. I use 3 cans each sick , 4 sticks. I was out coyote hunting with some friends riding in the back of pickup . A coyote appeared running up a hill while everyone was trying to find it in there scope my friend waited a few seconds , and when that coyote stoped , and looked back for a split second he shot it with his AR twice in the chest those guys with scopes never had a chance , and it happened so darn fast that was approximately 150 yards.

Yes, Pugio, didn't work as well as AGT moderator, neither wears any moderator now, 34mm shroud is easily backyard friendly, by itself. WM

Good to know. I almost bought one for the Vulcan 30. I would not consider either of these backyard friendly. But that also depends on the backyard. I would, however, consider these open field friendly like you can shoot and not spook anything past 50yds

Agreed, backyards come in all shapes and sizes. Surrounded by woods on all but one side, six foot privacy fence there. Sound of ammo hitting 2x4 backstop is loudest with exception of V3 clang in ear. 50-yard range angles away from patio into woods, opposite direction from privacy fence. Generally, don't shoot V3 or U2 if I hear neighbors outside. WM

Previous next door renters had three kids with trampoline in back corner of property, next to fence. Was shooting one day and happened to glance over, all three were leaning cross-armed on top of fence, standing on trampoline, observing. Looked like a Peanuts cartoon. Needless to say, didn't allow that to happen again. WM

I like hanging targets. I use a lot of padlocks as we regularly remove them with bolt cutters at my work. I just hang them from a string and every hit causes them to move. Most any small piece of metal will work. I've used galvanized pipe fittings in the past as well as deck screws, cartridge cases and various nuts and bolts.

I read a lot, and not even an expensive gun would be a Barra 250Z. I seen several slug videos , and as long as you can use a bolt action your good.
