Ketchup

Dan, i clicked that dang thing so many times it froze. I felt abused.

Haha. I posted this yesterday in the admin section. I deleted all my history/cookies last night, and not a single popup today. Before i was getting itevery time, and only hapoened in OA. Delete your cookies.

Wrench, if you get serious about this air gun stuff, your more than welcome to take one or 2 of mine to see if any of these fit your itch. Or take all 4 and try that. Tgeres gotta be one in the 4 thatshould fit. All i ask is you sight them in at 100 yards, leaving ONLY 1 hole in the paper with 10 pellets. 😃

If i were to spend more than i said, this would be the one. If you get time, look at reviews of this one. Its a top teer gun for the under $1000 group. https://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Benjamin_Marauder_Air_Rifle/1774

Good questions wrench. Those that have the $600 + guns say that the inner componets are superior to the lower end units. I also have read where the accuracy is better due to a better quality barrel. Some of the air guns are upwards of $1500. Im sure those are quality of the highest for an air gun. I told myself $350 would be my max, because after that price tag, i will just buy another "real" gun.

Im a spring gun fan, due to the fact, that i would get somewhere and forget the pump or tank to fill. I will probably own one soon, but just something about the break barrel guns does it for me. Lancer, are those Rocket,s all their cracked up to be? Ive seen mixed reviews.

Nice goin Seth. Yep i would have had a hard time deciding to shoot or not. I have had chances, but i keep telling myself to wait til youth season before slinging an arrow, when hopefully the big guys are starting to move. But that all sounds good until a good deer comes in. My coyote kill the other day, along with possums, squirrels has me patient for the time being. Good shooting.

I havent fall turkey hunted in a few years, other than the few i have shot with my bow. Love busting up those flocks then sitting and whistling them back in. Im taking a day off a week until after gun season. Seeing more buck sign each trip to check cameras. Its almost time.

Cant tell ya how many times ive done that. I try to stay 15 minutes after my "done" time is done. Lately i have been able to stay linger without boredom sitting in. Its going to start getting good soon as we have some cold weather coming end of week.

Thanks guys. Will clear cookies. "Saying that word makes me want to get a snack".

See anything Jesters? Looks like 57 for a high Tuesday. Think i will skip work and hunt morning and evening.

i have to click out of the site then log back it.

For the past few days, when i get on OA, i get this pop up. It only happens on this site. Anyone else?

Hate to be negative here, but....... The way i see it, is for any record to claim it to be the largest, should come from a natural state. A fish born, raised, fed in a strip pit is obviously going to get large, especially with a strict C&R policy. Now catch that same fish in a lake like any of our local lakes, and i will be impressed. Goes for hunting too. A 200" high fence deer is nothing. That same 200" in the wild is a stud. Not impressed with this at all.

Heres the Non-Gamo. I guess thats not accurate. Since Gamo purchased Daisy, located in Rogers, July of last year, I guess i do own 4 Gamo's. Love the wood look. This thing is as heavy as the Accu177. Again, these are not your grandpa's bb guns. All of these have fiberoptic sights incase you choose not to mount a scope, Im like a kid on Christmas messing with these this morning. I was able to do a little side work last week after the regular working day had ended, so my new purchases cost me about 9 hours of my time and skills. I would do that any day for the memories that will follow.

And blowing out seals Wrench. A guy on youtube did a slowmo comparison of normal fire and dieseling into a brick. The speed was identical. But, the dieseling hit harder. How was that if speed was the same? That part had me confused as pellet size was same. But seen it with my own eyes "online". You get ya one, your mechanic'ing and fishing will suffer. You've been warned.

Im telling ya, she cant leave me alone for any amount of time. Looking at reviews for the 2 "actually 3 but one is non-Gamo" i seen pretty good stuff about the Gamo Wasp Maxxim. Well the rest is history. Left for an hour, opened up the back door of the truck, and the "Wasp" just jumped right in. Got scope mounted on the 2 new ones, so need to sight in 3 of the 4 tomorrow before venturing out to the woods. Im one of the types that jumps in head first in anything i do. Always hated that about myself. No matter the hobby, i find myself going overboard. Then when i change to another hobby, i keep EVERYTHING, even the boxes of whatever i buy. Trust me my wife reminds me often of all the boxes we have downstairs. The Accu177 is different than the other 3 as in it isnt a "Break Barrel" per say as it has a seperate cocking arm that tucks under the barrel. Some say with the barrel staying staitionary, that its more accurate as there no movement. I know its a heavier gun than the others. Either way, my family is in for some fun air gunning soon. Single picture is of the newest addition.

Cool link Quill. Amazing that an air gun can take big game. Fun morning when the furry tails are roaming the yard. Pull up a chair and have fun. John, careful because as posted, its addictive. One of my interest points were that i can buy 500 rounds of ammo for $6.00. Buy 500 of 270, .06, 7mm and you will hear it from your spouse. Second was, tho not as quiet as the old style pump up bb guns, its far softer than a 22. Another factor was that its a better challenge to the 22/410 over-under. The single shot versions, which i have, force you to focus on the shot knowing you have to reload, tho that task is very simple. BH, can you amagine pumping those old style pumps to fill it? That would be a task. These spring loaded air rifles make that simple, with a single pull. Wife liked her new gun. Hoping to get it zeroed in this evening.

Wrench, they say for plinking you can be pretty consistant at 100+ yards. Killing power for small game is less than that i would say, tho a youtuber popped a rabbit at 100+ dead in its tracks.

I was hooking up my work trailer this morning and had a few 20 yards out.

Cool thing. As you said, im sure hes a popular figure to the town folk.

Well i think im the biggest kid around. Mentioned if my wife liked the air gunning i would buy another. Well i didnt even run it buy her yet that i would buy her one. Today the kid/loving husband in me stopped and bought her one. Got the Gamo Silent Cat in .177. Just got the scope mounted. So much lighter that my Accu177. Also has a thumb stock which i think she will like. Now to find time to shoot paper to get it dialed in.

Thanks guys. Ive managed atleast 2 per season with my bow for the past several years. This farm is over ran with them. I will be after them hard after Jan. 15 and bow season ends. Your right Seth. Some of my nicer bucks werent on camera this last pull, but i know shortly they, along with other new bucks will be showing up looking for that one night stand. Im actually kinda excited about gun season this year. Im 99.9% bow hunter, but the new place and stand placements has me giddy. And im pretty confident my beautiful wife will finally harvest her first deer. She made a good shot last year on one, that we tracked 500 yards before the blood drops ended with no deer. Bow, gun, small game, waterfowl, predators......Plenty to keep a guy outdoors.

Haha Snagged, that sounds like my youngest daughter "21". She used to love popping the rabbits that hung out by the cattle workin pen behind the house. I looked at the RWS 48 Lee, but just couldnt pull the price plug. Those German air guns are quality. My wife is going to use mine this weekend when we go hunting, and if I think at all that she will enjoy this, VS her 22, then i may try the RWS 34 just so i have it and the Gamo. We have 5, 22's around here with scopes, but looking at the price factor as far as ammo, a guy cant beat one of these air rifles. My research showed that the Crosman pellets were one of the best matches for the Gamo, so i bought those and a 250 round can of cheap Daisy pointed pellets to try. I havent used the Crosman yet, but those Daisys sure put a hurtin on the fur this morning. Theres a Youtube guy with the same Gamo shooting cans at 200+ yards. Tho there no kenetic energy to kill, shooting cans out to 75yards may be in the works.

Are you familiar with the "dieseling" with air rifles? Would have never thought to try something like that. Tho i think i will keep using mine as the manufacture suggests.
