    San Diego pesting, ground squirrels, etc.

    A bit of a drive but the imperial valley has some nice areas. Lots of collared doves but you need a license for those. Season is year long, no limit, and tasty. Brush up on your lead ammo ban areas, they're a changin'. Niland, calipatria, etc. there are abandoned silos, barns, buildings...

    Radical reduction in squirrels in my area...

    I get overrun with the vermin. Took care of as many as I could last spring with my cheap daisy springer. Then I got an mrod .25 last summer and hammered them more. This spring I started in on them again and have their numbers pretty low. The last two I got were at 103 yards which is a poke...

    M-rod breech oring found in magazine?

    Thanks guys. My knee jerk reaction is this wasn't the case but my son, my neighbor, and I were taking turns shooting while I was bbq-ing. Pretty sure neither my son nor I would have done this as we practice with firearms often, but my neighbor has never owned any type of gun so it is...

    M-rod breech oring found in magazine?

    Was plinking a few weeks ago having some back yard fun. It was getting dark and dinner was done and was going to call it quits after I empty the last magazine. I recall the last shot was abnormally loud but without investigating at all, I put it away for the day. yesterday I had some time for...

    Raccoon trying to get my chickens.

    I haven't had any trouble with raccoons since I piled up a few with .22 shorts. This was before I got my .25 marauder. I tried with a .177 daisy 1000 springer but it didn't kill them. Not that I witnessed anyway. My wife raises coturnix quail for eggs and meat, Serama chickens for eggs and...

    Entry level chronograph

    I have a pro Chrony digital with the pc interface. I'm am new at air gunning but have cast and reloaded all my own ammo for many years. Had mine up on a camera tripod and a clumsy friend tripped on the cord and over it went. Broke one of the sensor "eyes" off its circuit board and I had to...

    How much more efficient is a 4 stage pump?

    I am a brand new PCP owner and with my .25 mrod I got an fx 4 stage. At 6'5" and 230# I just use the third stage. My neighbor wants to get a PCP as well and has been trying mine out. He doesn't have near the body mass and he needs to switch to stage 4. On stage 3 it takes about 75 strokes to...

Thanks. It's pretty slick stuff. I sprayed them down but haven't shot any yet.

    Food grade silicone for pellet lube?

    I have been playing with my new marauder .25. I pulled my barrel shroud off and the baffles had flecks of lead on them. That welcomed me into the topic of washing pellets. I washed a tin and sure enough, plenty of flecks. I have an assortment of spray lubes in the garage to choose from but I...

    Ground Squirrel Infestation....Seen It Before

    WOW! awesome shooting! I have had a GS overpopulation this year at my place. I've killed 15 in the past couple of weeks. I can only get 2-3 at a time before the Ravens swoop in on the easy meal. I even seen a young Coopers hawk fly off with a corpse, (I didn't think the would eat dead...
