Airguns used 30 caliber Vulcan and Daystate. When shooting skunks always use kidney shots if you don’t want him to spray. And only use head shots on the coyotes.
I agree with you guys that slugs are the way to go if you want to shoot long distance and your rifle will shoot them accurately. But I prefer pellets when I am limiting my shots to 75 yards or less and want a projectile that will loose velocity quickly after that for safety reasons. I tested...
I have 2 properties, 3.8 acres in an estate environment where everyone has between 2 to 5 acres and the homes are relatively expensive. I also have a 90 acre ranch that my son lives on. How I dispatch varmints on the ranch allows me a wider variety of options and weapons. All I am saying is that...
This is what I have found over the years. I usually dispatch over 20 skunks 🦨 in a year. If you use a 22 or 25 caliber and make a body shot he is usually going to go quite a ways before he dies. If you shoot him in the head 99% of the time he is going to discharge everything he has got. If this...
If you are doing pesting for people your shot has to take them down and keep them down right where you hit them. They don’t want them dying on a neighbor’s property. I use my 30 caliber most of the time since most of the pests I am asked to get rid of are skunks and raccoons. I have 22 and 25...
I do a lot of pesting and limit my shots to 50 yards. The 25 is good for squirrels on down if you want quick one shot kills. The 30 is my go to for fox, raccoon and skunk. I only use pellets to limit range when shooting around buildings. The 35 is a good killer but uses a lot of air and is a lot...
This picatinney adapter allows you to convert the 11mm rail to picatinney. The adapters come in different lengths and are very cheap compared to the full conversion mount offered by Daystate. If you use them to mount a scope that will go over magazine loading area just use picatinney scope rings...
I think most of this tariff stuff will be short lived. Our market is too big and countries like China will suffer terribly if we cut them out of our market.
I have an Alkin that is over 3 years old. Has all the bells and whistles. It is the upright model. Only thing I have done over the years is change oil and filters. I think it is the best commercial unit for the money. Mine is the W1 series. If you are going to fill tanks commercially get the W2...
I have 4 high dollar PCP’s and the lowest tank fill out of the 4 is 3000 psi. There is a reason why the tanks on the gun and fill tanks have expiration dates. High pressure is nothing to take lightly. I have worked in emergency medicine and as safety officer on deep sea oil rigs. When I was in...
Well I will try to make it simple for you. Let’s say you get shot with a 22 lr in the chest. You might die but your chance of living are much higher than if you are shot in the chest with a 44 magnum. 7000 psi is almost double what most guns are using today.
Pressures that high are an accident waiting to happen. I had a fitting rated at over 4500 psi fail and the pressure in the tank was only 3600 psi. That convinced me I never wanted to play with pressures over 4500 psi. Can you imagine you fall with your gun and your tank fails at 7000 psi ? Come...
If you look at 22 lr match rifles with chassis the top ones start at $3000 and go to $6000. Considering these new airguns are probably more expensive to make I am not surprised at the price. That said I think all these companies are pricing their rifles where very few will be able to afford them.
I don’t disagree with your choice. I live where there was no place to fill a tank. And it was during the start of the pcp craze. All the pumps they were producing at the beginning had major issues except the expensive commercial units. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money so I went the cheaper...
