new windows are being installed on my house. I was able to take my last squirrel through the old casement window from my office this morning.
CZ200 Hunter was spot on.
I’ll be figuring out how to take the shots from the new windows tomorrow.

Of course! I have to take the first shots, so I can give him my first thoughts. Get it sighted in, find best pellet and determine dope from 5-75 yards for every different level of pumping.

I further fortified my backyard kill zone. Instead of using the oak tree behind my fence as a backstop, I put up two layers of 2x6’s. If a pest is in my bird feeder I will catch the pellet without giving my oak tree lead poisoning. 99% of my shots are 20 fpe or less, more like 12 fpe. My Cz200 hunter has become my go to rodent pesting rifle. Ultimate reliability in a perfect unregulated rifle.

Did you shoot out the old windows for better access to the squirrels?? That would be awesome.

Lots of activity in my yard. 5 less pest. Three with my P35 25 cal and two with my CZ200 Hunter.
After that busy morning..
I wanted to try a wadcutters with my CZ200, it’s a 12 fpe rifle. I only had two options with me, light Daisy wadcutters that shoot well out of my CMP 10m rifle, and some Apolo pellets I picked up cheap that are heavier. From my office pesting hide they grouped in a 1/4 in dot at 18 yards. Good enough. Now I need something to show up to hear the pop.

Unboxed my new Avenger Pup. Gassed it up to 4k, loaded 8 rounds in the mag, glanced down at the regulator.. between 3200 and 3300! Uhh ohh. 3k max. Got online with the folks at AGD, and got out the book. They walked me through degassing. Done. Reset reg to factory...Done. re air. All looked good. Took one shot, Very Loud pop, reg dropped to zero, air pressure stayed same. Re cocked, nothing. Blew all air, but pressure Guage still at 3800. Oh well. Back to AGD, gonna get something else. Anyone got decent suggestions in .25 or 30 cal at same price range?
Took my brother's new to him 362 and 397 out for some love and testing. 
That 362 is buttery smooth, whisper quiet, and dead nuts accurate. Literally shot a peach pit with it at 25 yards without having to adjust the scope from installing onto the gun.
397 was quite the workout by comparison, and never did see where things were hitting with 8 pumps. Rang steel with 2-5 pumps at 25 yards though, and enjoyed it for its own experience.
Shooting a pair of pumpers makes me a content Papa.

I’m really interested in that Snowpeak. Did you get it in .22 or .25?

I have had quite the adventure with this gun. I was having issues with the grip/stock so Barra sent me out a new one for free. The fact that I asked and received the Veil Camo is even better.
Due to my apparent inability to refrain from fussing over this dang gun I decided to break down the regulator, polish it and apply air shootist reg butter. That was fine and dandy until the gun wouldn’t hold air and was so weak it sounded like the entire barrel was a suppressor.
Long story short, I’m dumb. Got the transfer port in upside down. One of the regulator o-rings was bad but none of the ones in the kit that came with the gun would fit past the threads. Basically I plaid musical o-rings yesterday and today until I got it sorted out. Also my bevel stack was out of whack. Thankfully @Northeastbeast had a picture of it and as always was incredibly helpful.
She’s all back together with her pretty new furniture and shooting again thank goodness. The @Air Shootist reg butter is legit yall. Retuning the gun I haven’t seen any creep at all and the recharge rate is noticeably better. I bought mine from @High Pressure

Just some can killing.
.25, the gun at factory settings does not get close to advertised power. To do that stock requires cranking up the regulator pressure to 220bar or higher.
Fit and finish are good.
18 round .25 magazine, only 1.
Needs a moderator, m28x1 shroud so a DFL A83 adapter works for 1/2-20 moderator.
Trigger is okay, I'm happy with the factory setting, but I like a fairly firm trigger.
Accuracy is good, 1/2 diameter at 45 yards with Hatsan 46 gr slugs.
Well put together overall. It will get a lot of use as a pest eliminator.

What speed are you getting out of those 46gr slugs?

My Niksan ELF-W came in this evening from DonnyFL. Unfortunately too late to get out and play with it, so I have been swapping out scopes, seeing what looks and works best on it. I did though get it filled to the 2900 pressure. Onboard airGuage is perfect with my compressor Guage. Tomorrow is gonna be fun time zeroing in the Vortex.

Linseed oil makes for a great finish. Definitely makes the wood stand out as well as being a great protector.

That’s a casual 85FPE out of a gun that im pretty sure costs less than $1000 right? That’s pretty outstanding.
