I've always thought of pellet guns as practice for firearms. I can't shoot my firearms every day but most of the time I can shoot the pellet guns. I could never build a pellet gun, but a 1022 action and materials off of ebay and you CAN build a fun to shoot 22!

I have the 335R and love it. It is a lot of fun to use off the rifle too. The resolution on the 335 seems pretty good, I cannot imagine how well the 600 series performs! Have fun with it!

I know many of you are griping about the cold, but how about 72-75 with about a 30-40 MPH wind! That's what we've got in springtime in the DFW metroplex area (North Texas for you non-Texan types).

Not a pellet gun, but it will sure help with your instinctive shooting. Once pool season starts, yellow jackets and dauber of all types come to visit. Get yourself a blow gun with some blunts and hone your skills on them!

Buy once cry once!

Great idea! And for the big ticket items, really not that much.

So I took the thermnight out to a place that has a lot of deer to look around. Started at dusk just to try it out. I am thinking I will 3D print a pistol grip with a picatinny so that I can use the scope while not mounted on a gun-yes, they are that much fun. What I found was that this scope...

The guys at Southern precision outdoors had a DNT TNC335R in stock and I managed to get one! It comes in a pelican case with 2 of the flat top batteries and a charger. It also came with two mounts. a 20 MOA mount and a 0 MOA mount. I haven't mounted this on anything and have spent time...

I must be lucky-didn't even run a cleaning patch through mine and it shot adequately enough. I put a red dot on it and it is still fun to grab and shoot-for what it is.

Depends on what you are hunting and where. If you have to worry about where the pellet lands or comes down, then perhaps a .177. I know that when I was shooting starlings and english house sparrows off the purple martin houses, the .177 was more than enough. Even at 40 yards. Squirrels with...

I had forgotten about the cowbirds! Google is your friend! They will lay up to 12 eggs a season and not in their own nest!

I never give the starlings a pass nor the house sparrows. The English house sparrow is easy to identify. The starlings will get pretty wise when you start shooting them though. I used to have a Purple Martin Gourd setup and the starlings and sparrows would try to setup in there before the...

My BRK Ghost appears to need a wakeup shot-this was after it had been sitting for a few days. After the initial shot, it is wide awake.

Golf tees and paintballs at various yardages. 20-40 yards. The paintballs splatter, which is pretty satisfying. If you are low and knock the ball of the tee, then shoot it on the ground. And tees and paintballs are cheap. I've also put a dab of honey on paper target and shot the flies too.

Sure looks like an easy way to get into FT. I suspect the scope for FT would cost as much as the rifle.
