I have the KNS Precision buffer picatinny adapter, Sig stock, and Air Superiority, and proper hammer spring installed.
This helps as I play around with different pellets. The rifle will eventually end up with just the factory buffer adapter, KNS, and the folding stock. Trying different pellets is part of the hobby I like, and this provides easy hammer spring adjustment to get all pellets to that magic 700 fps.
I put the factory stock on as it doesn’t have play like the Sig stock.
The KNS also made it perfect for adjusting my cheek weld and eye position

Fits in my GoRuck bag really well.

All I’ve had time for all weekend is a few plinking shots from my office out and open window. It rained about all day yesterday. I’ve eliminated one squirrel and two cans of foul tasting sparkling water.

"foul tasting sparkling water."

So that's like what ?? Chicken flavored ? ( pun intended)

So falling and throwing the R9 and sticking the ground like a javelin I poked the dirt cramed in out of the barrel and reset and reglued the front globe again . Lucky that was the extent of damage .

A resighting at 50y &10m

I left a tad high the adjusted at 50y


Little high and eased it down some

Hopefully that will hold up till next time I chunk it across the yard ..

I was having fun playing with my son. I just reviewed the feeder cam and saw a raider.
He’ll be back, no worries. Haha

I shot my Atomic indoor 10m and it performed great with 15.9gr. I took a test shot to verify zero when I got home. Only about 30 pellets today.

I usually don't shoot anything out of season unless it's damaging stuff after a few warnings .( 3 strikes your out ) But without me shooting any squirrel I went from several all day to just one that comes around to feed now and then . They kinda can me and go in spells but this one been going for several months it seems or longer then usual .. maybe if a cold snap ever comes in they may liven up some , ijdk ..

My last home I had no issues, this neighborhood is off the chain. There are only two times a year it gets really crazy, after the two breeding periods where young males adult and search for new turf. We've been lucky with storms this year, but in years past during the wet season they get into my boat.
Plenty of food and not many predators in my neighborhood.
I would say our numbers are at the urban density in a suburban community that has rural surrounding it.
Our raccoon and opossum population isn't that bad, so it just means lots of food opportunities for small rodents.
When I started my squirrel control I could get 5 every day, for months straight. And I would still see squirrels in practically every yard in the neighborhood, and I still do. 5 houses down and its a 1/4 acre lot and I see 5 at least every day.
I'm not hunting them and harvesting meat.
To each his own.

Took an inadequately supported shot at a starling from about 60 yards and failed miserably...hardly got close enough to scare it off. Need to work on better means of support.

 

[Hateful McNasty]

Ol"Ruff ain't liking the shortage of them .. that's his task to harassing them and getting one to chew on ....



He lays here and scans the trees for any suspected movement. When I call him up he's looking disappointed he's not on the chase ..lol

I know what ya mean, my blood pressure actually pulsates the rifle scope at 60 yds when I'm in for the kill

I cleared some more out back to 80yds. I took a few shots with the ghost from a bench i made, but it was hard to see the target at that distance, i didn't do well. i have to practice a lot more.
