The only individuals I can think of might be the few that got a bb gun in their youth and never took up hunting as an adult. My oldest friend got a Crosman V350 about the same time that I got mine and never progressed to multi pumpers, co2 or break barrels as one would expect.
Haven't done much with bb pushers in quite a while now but have been sorely tempted by the Barra 400E...Full auto and semi auto function-410 fps with excellent accuracy and electrically driven....no co2 cartridges to buy but it is a bit over$400.....
Can't blame the vermin right now for staying hidden....the whole west coast is supposed to be unusually cold and windy for the next few days but when the cold snap ends, they should be out in force! Be ready!!
That is a spectacular price but I have no personal knowledge of the gun. My only first person experience with Hatsan pcp's is with the .25 Cal Flash QE I've had for about 4 years and it's been a reliable leak free piece.
My sentiments exactly!! Unfortunately, not shared by my wife who loves to see them ravaging the bird feeder!! Just bushy tailed rats as far as I'm concerned...
Looks like the Benjamin 312 I bought when I was 16 and that's been a lot of years ago! Mine shows more of the base metal brass from all the handling over the years but I still have it and it still shoots though not with the authority it used to have.
I too am tempted by the wheeler bit kit....especially the selection of Torx bits....been running into more of those Torx screws and bolts than I ever used to.
I bought my Vevor because of the price point. I haven't had it very long and only use it to fill a 165cc reservoir from 100 to 200 bar usually but so far, it's been quick and trouble free. I guess time will tell.
I'm afraid I can't be of much help. The first I heard of the RWS 45 was in a Beeman catalog from the early 80's. The velocity potential was impressive but the only time I saw one was at a gun shop where the clerk cocked it and fired it without a pellet in it to show another customer how loud it...
If you come up with a sure fire solution to the WIFE ROAD BLOCK, I'm all ears! Every suggestion I've been able to come up with has gone down in flames!!
