I would love to have a Ghost, but the wife doesn’t care for a mirror in the garage.
Check out the Iguana hunting videos in Florida and Puerto Rico and you’ll see a strong showing for BRK (Brocock).
I like the small one with the folding stock.

Now get to work!

I have a model 78 that I want to get up and shooting again, is there a breakdown diagram for disassembly somewhere? Thanks

There are a few great tutorials on YouTube. It comes apart pretty easily. the only problem can be removing the power pin sleeve. It has to come out before the top and bottom hale can be separated. When you purchase the new seal kit, get nylon ones and get the one with the new value stem and save your self some time. Or buy the value stem separately from another seller. The O-ring kit is about 6 -9 dollars and the new stem is 5 dollars from another vendor. But the combo kit can run you 34 dollars. ( I have no idea why)
If you need any help, shoot me out an email, Marflow 777 is an outstanding source of information. He help me out considerably. I am currently re-sealing 2 of them and one I am completely re-painting and re-building. That one was a yard sale find and it was in less than "poor" shape.
Good luck, and have fun.

Be careful dog proofs also traps skunks!

Yes, but they do t catch dogs, cats and squirrels. My very first customer in a dog proof was a skunk. A 16 gr. Hades from a Notos from about 20 feet, to the head, took care of the problem. I had my escape route mapped out, but it didn’t spray. I understand that’s about a 50/50 chance. BTW… they also trap opossums.
I’ve heard of that blanket trick before, but it would be hard to pull off with a dog proof.

Around 70ish

You're going to get a million different answers to this question, because there's a million different good guns and everyone will just list their favorite. It's very subjective.

Think about what features and qualities are important to you. Then if you still can't decide on your own, come back here with that list. Also include intended use.

Ghost HP, Taipan Veteran 2 700mm, AGT Uragan or Vulcan 700mm, SKOUT, FX Leopard.....it's on the shooter to find the slug the barrel prefers . Congratulations and good luck!

Please spell the last name Rutterford ...there is no "H" in his last name

I will let the RSO know from now on that i have that disability and that i may need to be told directly. It was a bummer since i was in position to move on to the finals. Being a spectator on Sunday kinda sucks ..lol

You're welcome! My wife is also deaf in one ear due to meniere's disease so I know about communication needs! You'll do much better the next competition!

That depends on your backyard, a .25 has a lot more muzzle energy. If your neighbors are cool and you have a sufficient backstop, go for it, otherwise I’d say no.

Welcome to AGN
Lots of info here to help in your decision making.
Do your research..lots of pros and cons
read about the tools you may need for maintenance...a big part of this hobby
Have Fun!

Just a quick 2c worth on bullpups is the length of trigger pull. I owned a bullpup once and didn't like how I had to bring my arm in just to get it to my shoulder. for me it made it really aggravating. If you're not worried about it that's fine but you should at least consider it.

Great job, especially for being under the gun

Thanks Steve
just takes some practice ...i think you understand that with all the practice you have been doing off-hand ....Fantastic by the way!!

Mike! I am so sorry you didn't hear the announcements but if they knew were deaf in one ear someone should have told you in person, but, lesson well learned! Shooting quickly under the gun (no pun intended) is hard enough not being in a match!

Great "speed" shooting Mike. That is a good skill to have in your toolbox for situations like you encountered. What caliber are those holes?

Click to expand...

Thanks Tim,
I am using a Skout Epoch with the .22 LW barrel and JTS 22.07 pellets around 975 fps. When i 2x shot a target, it was because the 1st shot went into the darker portion of the ring..making it difficult to see.

Thanks, brother. I can do this. I have had a number of minor maintenance and repair tasks with air rifles turn into long-term projects, hence my previous reluctance. Thanks again.

Tired the 25.4 and even some 20gr slugs. Just doesn't shoot well. I've spent a lot of time and energy over a few years and just going to toss in the towel. Leade does look correct.
