There is only one obvious choice. The squirrel are calling!I’m also shooting some .177 groups, but I hear squirrels barking… trying to decide if I need to go get my Sniper .22 decisions, decisions.

This morning I counted 12 on the ground in my front yard, that I could see and 7 in the back.
My wife let the dogs out so they scared them off, but there is always tomorrow

HAM Sharp Shooter
I was able to shoot the .177 Liberty with new JSB monster 13.43. 25 yards out laying on the ground and the Notos. In 40 degree weather the Notos shot Norma heavy 830-815 fps and the jsb I tried at 930-920. I need a place closer to shoot at a longer distance. Or find time to run out to land in my family out of town an hour and a half. Anyways it was fun and both rifles like the pellets. I bought 56 tins of Norma's the last week and a half. Hope y'all had a great day

Squirrels around my house must know I have a new rifle. I see them all over my neighborhood, just not my yardThis morning I counted 12 on the ground in my front yard, that I could see and 7 in the back.

Leishy looking good sir. Great to see family time is awesome too!
That'll keep you chasing zero! LolTrying to shoot some groups with a .177 in the wind. Bad idea.
It's spring where your at right? Take em out! LolSquirrels around my house must know I have a new rifle. I see them all over my neighborhood, just not my yard
Been printing moderator adapters and found a real weakness. The male threaded end for the moderator, especially 1/2-20, snaps off under moderate torque. Just tightening the moderator will do it.
So I went about it a little different. Instead of m30x1 male to m18x1 male I printed a m30x1 male to m18x1 female. Then used a m18x1 male to male to connect the adapter to the moderator.
Now it would take a lot more force to break the adapter.
upside, I can buy various male adapters and always have a metal connection to the moderator. M12-1.25, M14x1, M14-1.25, m20x1.0, 1/2-20, 1/2-28
No more $40 DFL adapters, print the gun end cap and a $5 male to male. No issue with the end cap, just like a printed moderator.

I created a target using ChatGPT. I ordered some labels to print them, they will be stuck on some little signs and I can set them at various distances.
Getting my Krait ready for agama dispatching
These little signs are plastic so they hold up to a bunch of shots.

I was set up for BillM’s 100y Challenge, the winds were only 2-3 but my Taipan wasn’t doing too hot.
I moved in to 50y and it was still bad, started having the “what the $&@! went wrong now?” moments…
So I took a deep breath and decided to start with the basics, clean the barrel.
I realized that I have been putting a lot of lead through it with all the testing of the regulator(s) factory and HUMA also trying out slugs.
I’ve had it for about 14 months and cleaned the barrel for only the second time now and haven’t polished it yet either.
Things came back together at 50y but it was too late for the 100y.

Busting the steel with the HW50S and HW97KT. Beautiful day out. Bring some more of this.
Took advantage of the "warm" weather, and lack of wind to finally take my first shots with the Pinty Vanguard. I think the gun has more bark, and less bite, than my Pinty Timber, and the factory moderator did little to tame it to my ears. But quickly (8 shots) got it rough sighted in with the factory fiber optic sights and then began "slynging lead". It dropped all 3 NRA critters, 3 army men, a boar and a duck. Then I ended my available shots by lobbing a Norma Golden Trophy FT Heavy 17.6gr pellet 45 yards to ring my bell. I think she'll do just fine. Around 25 shots from ~225bar-75bar

Love the Buck-Chrony. Nate’s core product is simple great.
@NateChrony
Shot #1 was after a refill. I recorded it but threw it out. I want to see how the regulator acts over time and use. I usually burn a pellet after a refill during general use. It was 920 fps.

Biguns, Air Venturi ones, or the non-standards? I have some more incoming, and eventually will probably also get the ones from AoA. A lot of fun, if you don't send a chicken into the great unknown.
