    Buddy wants a pellet pistol to take ground squirrels and pocket gophers in CA

    Thanks for the help. I have a tank that i can fill it for him. Were gonna try the marauder. Any likes for a scope for the marauder? I have BSA red dot around here somewhere to start him off. He's an old Navy fight pilot and his target skills are pretty good on my FX wildcat. He just cant lug...

    Orange grove squeaks (ground squirrels) in socal w Wildcat FX .25.

    I thought I put a dent in their numbers last year but nooooooo. Little ones running everywhere now with plenty of adults. I waded in using the fx wildcat .25 cal pellet gun. I can't blast away with the .17 here, homes are kind of close. About 20 acres I can shoot on. God are the young ones dumb...

    Buddy wants a pellet pistol to take ground squirrels and pocket gophers in CA

    I want to get him something with some zap as the shots can be out to 50yds. I see 25 yds mentioned a lot as the range. Is co2 the way to go or a cocker? Hes old so a single shot bolt like the Cross 2240 will slow him down if he drops a 2nd pellet. Do they make a .22 pellet with a pellet...

    I had trouble with the bolt closing so I pulled the magazine out to look at it and when I put it back in I thought i had the mag lined up to not to load a 2nd pellet into the chamber. Well it appears thats what happened, i cant close the bolt now. Before i screw anything up, what would be the...

    ATN X-SIGHT HD II kills batteries fast

    when i plugged in 2 different power packs today it killed the scope power, so no way to see pwer pack icon. I can run off lithium batteries ok but i cant record video or take a pic, it always says low battery even with good batteries. Something is wrong with this scope i believe.

    Glorious day in the cirtus orchard with the squeaks

    Last 2 trips it was hot and no squeaks wanted to play. Today it was nice and cool with a marine layer blowing in from the coast and a bandanza of targets as Curly would say. The juvies are out and they are a lot tougher to hit. One thought he could outrun a pellet, wrong. Another one was a...
