What'cha doing air gun related today?

Same as yesterday. Checked the Brocock with the rat target high and low TP settings. I purchased the folder adapter and an extra magazine from AoA for the rifle. It was odd I didn't receive it yet. I checked in with AoA and they apologized, it got stuck in a queue unfulfilled. But it should be shipped soon.
 
Making more action targets out of junk. 😁
Use my torch not the welder.

I got the hook there to make up some smaller target rings. The center hole is 1 1/4”. With the adjustments because of it being a satellite dish I can focus it anyway I want and shoot from a good portion of my property. I think I’m going to get some duct seal to put on it to quiet it down and to absorb some of the impacts. Just made it up as I went along found a problem, made a workaround solution. 👍
 
I took my daily few shots with the Concept Lite on the steel rat.

Repainted the targets on the rat.

Put air in the CZ200 Hunter.

Found a target to shoot.

The wife had different plans for me. Playing with the kid now and I have Car 2 on now before the Martinsville race.
 
I shoulder the airgun and aim, but I always shoot benchrested (y) :) 🎯
So it's completely off that butt jack thing ? Hmmm.. ok .. thanks. Tri/bi/rest forend and the rest on you / full shouldered . No " jack" , no butt bag, I see this stuff on guys pictures and wonder just how much of there skill is really used . Just line up the scope and pull the trigger . All locked down viced shots so to say 😜
 
Well, I was out having fun plinking, pull the side lever back and I hear things crunching and then a pop. Looks like the Origin is done. 😑 I don’t have what I would consider to be a working air rifle anymore, BSA “Mudfish” is a P.I.T.A. I feel like a man without a country. 👎
Once you get that Air Arms all you will need on hand is o-rings.

So real and good shooters shoot freehand or standing ??? No skill required for shooting off the bench ??!? A lot of shooters will probably disagree with you and so do I (y) 🎯 🙃 :)

Lol and Sub12 just dropped an S510 video!!! Beyond excited to watch.....soon you will have a country again FL22.... I mean gun 😆. U don't think origin is fixable? Broke out my guns today too....S510 was a littttle low as well. hmmm Ditching the Hawke mounts and installing same height Sportsmatch ones, So much better machining, no comparison. Included is my 98 Yard retry on a pigeon sized silhouette. First 3 were high, rest were hits, The .22 Ghost is a long range shooter for sure! Used Ol faithful MRDS. Then the S510 got all jelly so I took out the left bird with (also complete guess) a holdover volley. 6 shots, only one kill shot though all @98Y. Notice the left to right is excellent, height error all me most likely. Front foam rest off bench, guns into my shoulder.

Yeah, I’m hopeful that UA ships it this week as far as the origin goes I still have about 10 months worth of warranty left on it. I could send it back to Umarex would just cost shipping. I’m trying to decide if I want to try some other cheap entry level pellet rifle just for something to play around with maybe an 1100Z. I always said that if the origin gave up, I was going to get a Notos but then I have to get one of those bug busters or similar scope to fit it and I already have two extra scopes now.

The life of an air gunner is fraught with ups and downs. 🤪

For sure it is! Wait till u get S510, then send away the Origin for repair/replace? That's my vote anyways👍
