What'cha doing air gun related today?

[MileHighAirGunner]

I haven’t had the little “Bunny Blaster” 2400KT out for quite awhile. It’s probably been two maybe even three plus years since I last shot it. I forgot how much fun it is. Stupid quiet with the TKO on it. On a fresh cartridge it’ll spit the 14.3 CPHPs out at around 500 fps.
I never really cared for the Bug Buster scope I had on it though. I couldn’t ever get a good comfortable eye relief without having to crane my neck forward on the stock. The medium rings were still a little too high even with the cheek riser. So I dug around and found a set of the lowest rings I had and some picatinny to dove tail adapters I had stashed away and put this Hawke Vantage 2-7x32AO on. Ahh.. much better now. It’s probably slightly heavier now but still just a touch under 5lbs according to the bathroom scale. I’m used to much heavier rifles so it’s actually a bit of a challenge to shoot this little light weight. Here the before and after the scope switcheroo.

Looks like I’m all set for plenty of summer time plinking mayhem and debauchery.

I hope this is the calm before the storm because it’s a little bit quiet around here haha… I didn’t post much this week I was busy but after 2k slugs through my 250z in 2 months I ran some patches through the barrel and wow. I always knew she was a bad girl but I didn’t know how dirty she was. Almost made me blush .

I took her out to my squirreling grounds yesterday but it was a bit late in the day so I just blew a little hot air by taking a few pot shots haha.

But that’s the end of the détente. Some how I find myself with no obligations this weekend. We work 4-10’s at my job so Friday is already off. But my GF got roped into nannying for the next week and I have no friends. I think yall have read enough of my posts on here to know why hahaha.

Basically I’ve got at least 400 slugs, a portable compressor, full tank of gas and an insatiable desire to shoot varmints. So spare a moment of silence for the critters that are gonna get clapped this weekend. My only desire is that I am able to get lots of (in focus this time!) scope cam footage for y’all’s viewing pleasure.

For real though I hope everyone enjoying the holiday weekend here in the USA have a fun and safe weekend. Same for everyone else. Hope everyone gets a chance to shoot their guns.

Well I’m off to a good start… new personal record 110y today with my 250z shooting 31gr Franco slugs…

Had the last 2 days off and was hoping to be tuning my Ghost for a lower reg pressure but the weather has been wet (rained all day yesterday) and windy off & on. So I figured I would make a neat power tester for pellets and slugs. Was throwing out some leftover flooring and I thought hey, that will fit! Turns out laminate flooring is tough! S510 @ 25Y went through only 1 layer with an 18gr. Now I have a use for my left over reno scraps.

Wait you gotta cycle through the rest of the collect and see what happens haha

I tested the Condor SS for speed, and I am really impressed. It shot the JBS 34's at almost 59 FPE on the Lowest power setting and only 2500 PSI. I think that it will hit over 60 with no problem. But the Scope Mounts I have are way too low to get the Proper Eye relief. But another Member here is sending Me a set to try. I can't wait! I will save those pellets until then.

That’s impressive. What’s the shots per fill like at that setting?

From what I saw, it was not impressive. I only shot a few, just to get the info. As I mentioned, without a good scope mount I was just wasting pellets for FPE numbers. I will be reporting back as I get better scope mounts!

Chief, you should get you a regulated tank for the Condor SS. Still gonna ha e some great fps and ft.lbs of smack, but whole buncha shots outta that 3000 tank load. I have one regulated (unleaded), and one super(non regulated). I shoot the regulated at setting #1, and it still blasts out those big heavy pellets.

Well, I follow @Air Shootist and follow what He is doing with the Huben Reg's and such, but I still have had not much time to see what will work for Me. His videos are what Got Me into Airforce. Now I need to see how much more I am willing to spend. lol

good luck bro. I’m already WAY over budget and this is my first pcp. My only regret is that I can’t sell ad space on my body (yet) to buy more gun stuff haha

Got another two piece this morning. This one is the best of the two. Managed to record the sound of the slug landing on the back of Mr. Squirrelito’s head lol. So no music on the reel this time haha.

Well I continued the squirrelpocalyse this morning but didn’t do much shooting myself. I took a buddy of mine that I’m trying to get into the hobby. Haha the look on his face when he heard the thwack of the slug hitting was pretty awesome. Then he promptly pissed me off by having not hit record on the scope and then putting no effort into finding the critter out in the thicket. I don’t leave little lead filled treats out there for predators to eat…. So he’s gonna have to work on that.

Got starling number 2 today! Had the S510 out (zeroed @40) and completely missed one at 30Y... 100% me. I even knew it was 30Y away thanks to my superbly accurate parralax on the Athlon. I took aim at a fluffy dandelion at same distance and completely missed again, but saw the pellet sail over it this time. Held UNDER half a dot and blew the dandelion apart. Moments later another Starling showed up and the Hades anchored him, same hold!

Nice work bro! Those hold unders are tricky. I’ve been struggling a lot shooting short range since my barra is zeroed at 50y…. I did smoke a chipmunk at 35y today though! Had hold under around a full dot…. I don’t see too many starlings around here. My dream would be a large flock, a full tin of 28-30gr slugs, a big a$$ tank and a clear backstop. Just blast away haha.

Nah, they only give you one shot then they gone. Crazy wary birds always on the move! And I agree I get more down @ 40 to 60Y than 15 - 30 bc of those pesky holdunders. About 15mins to half an hour after a shot they'll come back if they havent moved on.... we get flocks of em here.

Topped off all four of my BRKs and hope to have a plinking session later this afternoon … After some “honey do’s” are attended to…

Last weekend I got the Bunny Blaster 2400KT out for some long overdue plinking fun. This weekend I will give the Disco-Maximus some attention.
This one was built entirely from scratch from aftermarket and OEM parts. It’s a Benjamin Discovery air tube topped with a .177 Maximus Hunter barrel. Yes it’s a long one that’s for sure but it’s fairly light at just under 7 lbs as we see it here and well balanced. The Rink stock I snagged off the AGN classifieds helps keep that weight towards the rear. I don’t really even notice the Kentucky long rifle length when shooting it. The Buckrail piece clamped to the end of the tube allows me to mount a bipod if I want but I don’t like shooting this one that way. I prefer to shot this one off hand. It just feels more appropriate to shoot it off hand.
Currently tuned at 12 fpe with the 8.4 gr JSB @ 800 fps. Upgraded valve screws allow for a 3000 psi fill and with the HUMA we got plenty of shots on tap. I could shorten the OAL some with a different moderator but the .875” diameter TKO fits the thin profile of this rifle better than other options IMO.
I’m sitting here watching a couple of collared doves sitting on my neighbors roof. My Disco-Maximus would make a great backyard pest sniper rifle for picking off evasive pest birds but that’s not very practical here in my suburban environment so it’s just something to day dream about on this cold, dark dreary day. Oh well

Enjoy your Memorial Day guys. Please remember to honor and pay respect to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our great country.

Well what can I say y’all I had a big weekend. I shot a lot of squirrels lol. Including a cheeky lil’ 5 piece I got today. Extra crispy of course… I also got my first 3 100+ yard kills. Including my new personal best 125y. Still learning to read the wind out there. Only one of the long ones was a headshot. I did get a 90yard shot today offhand. It was pure luck so I doubt I could ever repeat it lol…. Anyway, I did a real $hitty job of editing a bunch of them together for everyone’s view pleasure… hope everyone had a fantastic weekend.

New 12 round mag for my baby. The color match is perfect. I dumped a mag real quick to see and it cycles beautifully. I know 802airhead has some in the testing phase so I’m eager to order one of those when they come out….. generations of squirrels will tell tales of the desert wraith
