    Please remove me from your membership list. I really have no desire to be chastised by Tree Hugging Granola Nuts who think shooting Geckos is a sin.

    . Who does custom work on Marauder Pistols????????? I have a Marauder pistol that averages 650 FPS w/ 14.3 gr pellet. That about 13.5 FPE. I want closer to 900 FPS if possible. My problem is I am in my 70's and would prefer having it done professionally. My eyes and finger can't do detailed...

    Rats?

    . I started with a CHEAP NV SET UP that worked great up to 25 yards. I used a Gamo Laser sight, about $ 15.00 and a IR monocular for about a $ 100.00. Later I added Brighter IR Flashlights. Cheap IR Scopes work great if they have a good IR Light. Of course I use the Monocular as a spotter and...

    . While I respect the rights of your opinions I can not agree or feel any guilt for my actions. IMHO Gecko are in fact a Nuance Pest here in Florida. If you want to talk cruelty of animals then think about how I poison millions of living being every day with chemicals. That right I am a...

    Rats?

    . Hi I am a Certified Pesticide Operator here in Florida. My original Degree is in Horticulture but I had to take a lot of entomology classes including Rodent Control in College. While your suggestion of a non-resistible bait is good in some cases. I don't believe you fully understand the...

    . OK we all can't be Matt Dubber and hunt small game in Africa. So I have become the Last of the Great White Gecko Hunters. I am not sure if this post should be in the Target Forum because shooting Geckos in the 5 to 15 yard range is more like only shooting bulls eyes, not hunting. Plus when...

    We all want a quieter gun.

    . I bought a Suppressor off E Bay for $ 40.00 that was shipped from Poland. It looked great and fit the barrel perfect. First few Shots where real quite. But I don't think it was made for the Power of a Condor. After a number of shots the baffles started coming lose. So I am looking for a...

    Where can I get my Hand Pump Repaired????

    I am a newbie so any help is appreciated. When I hook my pump to a gun etc. I get more resistances on the Up Stroke than the down stroke. I am guessing a check valve isn't operating properly. When the Pump isn't under pressure I can hear the air being sucked in on the up stroke. First...

    Sub 12 ft lb Rifle in the States

    Just a suggestion but does the gun have to be a 12 lb??? I have a Marauder Pistol which is about a 14 lb Gun. But 15 yards and under, I have killed more squirrels with my 6 lb CO2 2250 Rat Catcher shooting Walmart pellets. The 2240, 2250 and 2400 are pretty much the same gun and can take the...

    air Force air guns

    .Zebra I am the newbie to air gunning so any thing I say isn't coming from long time experience. You make some valid points about the Air Force guns. But do they really matter??? As for the single shot hunting, I think it makes you shoot better. Plus how many times do you get a chance to shoot...

    Benjiman wildfire pcp coming

    . That is a cheap add on when you already have an air supply. But I am waiting for the real review/complaints to hit before I buy one. You don't always get what you pay for, But you sure as hell don't get more than you pay for. .

    air Force air guns

    As a newbie I ended up building a RAT CATCHER (2400KT) from a 2240. I just kept adding parts including the 2250 tube and fore arm. Yes I could have purchased a new PCP for what I ended up paying for all the parts. But the end results made me the Great White Gecko Hunter of my back yard. I not...

    air Force air guns

    Yo At a local gun show I recently purchased a used 22 cal Condor 1 which is my first PCP. I believe it was made about a 2000. It has a 8 x 32 x 56 sidewinder scope. I haven't had a chance to give it a good work out yet. But It chronographs at 1150 FPS with 15.3 Gr pellets. 32 Gr pellets are...
