Discovering a hunting underworld/subculture

[NOMADIC PIRATE]

Erik, german guns have real good records, could be a Beeman or a Weirhuck or a Diana (RWS),........ definatly pellets make a huge difference with my .177, .....7.4gr pellets where horrible, 9.6gr better, than I tryed 10.5gr hollopoints and are awsome.

on my .22 I shoot 14.3gr hollopoints and they are good, but I'm sure if I whent up in weight a bit it probably be better.


Airguns need very little cleaning, sorry Mike but a brass brush is to much, the softer steel of the airguns need a Nylon brush, RWS has a nice kit for sale with instruction how to care foe a springer


.....HO well we are under a Tsunami watch so I have to start evacuations prosedures,...see ya later

[NOMADIC PIRATE]

Forgot to mention, ........................pointed pellets are the worst accurate ones, you gotta stray away from them, best hunting compromise are the doomed or hollopoints

[El Destructo]

never seen a rifled Steel arrel that a Bras Brush would hurt...been using them all my life in all guns ...from BB to 50 caliber...brass is stoo soft to hurt a Steel barrel

Hope the Big Wave misses you.......

Airguns need real little cleaning, they actually like and trive by the lubrication given by the lead pellets, when I first started I treated them as I did real rifles, I was overdoing it and experiance much less accuracy every time I whent to shoot, untill I got several pellets thru than accuracy improved drammaticaly.

Mike you check maintenance tips from manufacturers and the brass brush is a no no

The .177 is really good for pest control too

 



This little gun with the 10.5gr Hollopoint it's awsome on birds, just bowls them over, my freezer is getting quite full with delicious Doves, allmost ready for a big cookout and get some of those that never thought about getting theyr food anywher else than the supermarket try the goodnes of the wild

Just sent back a .177 Browning break barrel pistol. The pellet gun came with a hand held extension tube that you fitted over the muzzle to give enough leverage to cock the piece. The problem is that the front sight is a sleeve fitted over the barrel and held in place with two set screws.  The extension sleeve torqued the front sight sleeve and in twenty rounds the front sight sleeve came loose twice. Bad Design!!! The pistol was accurate and had plenty of power to bad I couldn't keep it.

[El Destructo]

Hey Grunt...it wasn't the Browning 800 was it?? My Brother has one of them....and He kills Squirrels...Snowshoe Hare...and Skunks and Coons with His....he loves it with Pellets

[Grunt]

Was a 700 series I think . Like I said good accurate and powerfull. I was looking at the longevity of the gun. Didn't even come with an allen wrench to retighten the front sight sleeeve.

If you want a good powerfull springer handgun try the HW45, ....but look into PCP handguns, I totally different realm

I was lucky enought today to be able to take a 20 yard shot at a wild rooster, the .177 cal 10.5gr hollowpoint shot at the head dropped the rooster right there

I have a RWS Dianna model 48 in .22 cal and I like it alot.
