N/A Which of your airguns would you choose for a 60yd target for only one shot?

[Solo1]

Ya know i don’t understand all the uproar over “the first shot low” thing. If you’re first shot is constantly low 1/2” at 60 yds aim a 1/2” high at 60 yds on your first shot ! Why all the big deal? If you know your weapon intimately you should have no problems!

 

[shambozzie]

It is a big deal. If the gun is zeroed @ 60 yds it's poi should be 60 yds, not 60 yds1/2".

I have thought about getting rid of my Evol paradigm. It's kinda big and bulky for my wants. But I have grabbed it either 4 or 5 times this year when critters attempted to get our chickens. Shots between 60 - 80 every shot connected. I have confidence in my Taipan but the scope is better on the evol and the 25 grain pellets hit a little harder. So it is cased in the house garage ready to protect.

Not that I doubt your marksmanship, but if a crippled critter dies under your shed, you'll have a hell of a stink for a while. I know nothing about skunks. Is there a way to trap one without a 100% chance of getting sprayed?

 

[bchannell]

Any gun I own would do the trick.
Crown in 177/22/25 currently in22.
Dream Tac 500/25
Brk Sniper 22
Brk Sniper 22 mag

"hay, you listed Brk Sniper twice"?

"I like Brk Snipers"

If there is a way to get a little lime down the hole to the dead critter the lime will make short work of the smell. Assuming you can't get the remains out, it is an option. I've been known to gas the gophers in my yard with auto exhaust..

Any of my non 10 meter guns .

 

[Avator]

Any of my pcp guns shooting 20ish fpe. Providing the were pre sighted in for that distance.
Shot placement would be key. Preferably the head shot.

 

[Arkansas_Airgunner]

Any of my quarter bore rifles.

I would just go with my regulated .25 M-Rod side lever super light and a JSB 34. The first shot after sitting for days is sometimes a little slower. But if the rifle is on "duty" then I exercise it time to time. I would not take larger pests at 60 yards but smaller critters are no problem to dispatch with this rifle at 60 yards. And of course, much larger critters at closer ranges for ethical purpose. It hits bullseye reliably first shot.



What usually sits on ready though is this unregulated M-Rod .25 hybrid. It is just a good shooter but I do need to know my Bell Curve and where it is in that shot string. It is a strong shooter pushing JSB 34s hard.

Skunks are very beneficial for people and farms. Let Stinky live.

After being a hunter for my entire life, I have develop a feeling of discomfort with dead animals.

Sometimes a skunk visit my home, I associate the smell with wilderness.... And I like it.

I would not shot it.

 

[rcarlisle]

I'd use my .177 Dreamtac for that shot, though I have written off shooting skunks as about the dumbest thing you can do on your own property. I shot one that I felt was a nuicance to my dogs, but the smell was so bad that the carcass was an even bigger problem than the live critter. Never again.
