I always want a do all. Never works for me.
If you are comfortable with .25 Cal, go for a Vulcan 3 700 mm.What would be a good first premium pcp? I've been looking at the RTI Mora, what others should I consider?
A bench rifle maybe dainty and delicate and not handle the bush...I didn't consider thatI feel like an accurate rifle at the bench should hit target on game as well...weight would be the factor i suppose but weight can be added and removed i think?
I wonder if it could shoot slugs in 177?Niksan Ozark-TW from DonnyFL

Stoeger Bullshark 22 with Athlon Argos 10-40 at 40X
AEA 18.3gr at about 820 fps
Shot early this morning before 8am. Weather report says 3mph wind but I wasn't seeing any
199 15X Masters
I got the idea that my "under 195" scores with this gun and pellet might be due to a dirty barrel and I cleaned it last night instead of watching TV. It was filthy. Took about 10 patches using both sides to clean up. This morning the wind was low and the forecast is it is the only low wind period I'll have today. Earlier yesterday I moved scopes around and put my best target scope, the Athlon, on this rifle. I don't think it versus the 32X Vector made a significant difference on the score but it makes it a more pleasurable experience. I fired about 10 shots on the clean barrel to adjust the scope. It was more than a little off. After about 10 shots I started this target. Actually I started a different target first but wasn't sighted in well, I made an adjustment and it took a shot to settle in. So after two cells I started this one instead. I started off great but the POI started moving around a little. I adjusted my point of aim between shots and it cost me Xs to have to move around but I was still getting 10s until the last shot. The POI moved right back to the center dot and I was aiming low - and hit low. I am pretty sure this is the best I've done on the Masters target so I am still happy with it.

My first was an avenge x and a hatsan jet.My first PCP was a Benjamin Bulldog 357
I feel like an accurate rifle at the bench should hit target on game as well...weight would be the factor i suppose but weight can be added and removed i think?All of them. Lol, it all comes down to preference. Right or left cocking, weight, trigger feel, shot cycle, etc. So many uses or needs as well.
Bench in my yard and in the Texas brush. proly not past 100yds but would be fun to shoot way out at targets.What will you be shooting at?
What distances?
From a bench?
In the field?
I will be shooting target and hunting..from mice to white tail deer and hog and it needs to do all I can spend 5k but not 20k I'm thinking a 30 cal. I could be wrong but think fpe for deer in my state is 250.What would be a good first premium pcp? I've been looking at the RTI Mora, what others should I consider?
It's free range out here in Arizona, cattle can go wherever the hell they want pretty much. These coyotes will follow a pregnant cow and wait until she's giving birth and move in. There's some in the tree line right nowI use a Bluetooth speaker and a few prerecorded full sets from Predator University mixed in with a bunch of sounds I’ve picked along the way. Your situation is similar to mine. They are super highly pressured so some different sounds works. Woodpecker sounds work sometimes, I have a whole new set of an owl attacking various rodents… I also use an open read caller for a howl or too but mostly just to make a really dramatic rabbit distress. You might try a squeaker? Desert dogs eat a lot of mice I think.
The best thing you can do and I don’t do enough of this is drive around at night. Get to a spot you think might have coyotes and just put the caller out the window and play locator howls. If you hear anything that’s your sign. It’s still denning season for a few more weeks so their ranges aren’t huge yet… I’m still going coyote sounds and pup distress before I do any prey distress. The advantage I have in Utah is NV and in my county we can spot light. I do all my calling at night right now. They are not so much “dawn and dusk” this time a year. When it’s super hot I see them more from like 2am until just before sunrise. If the jackrabbits are out and about the coyotes will be too.
Once the weather cools I’m still gonna call still but mostly I’m gonna try out a pressure baiting scheme… freeze all your bloody critters and scrap in a 5 gallon bucket with water. I have a couple spots on BLM near my house where I’ll just dump the baitcicles… first week or two I’ll bait frequently and not hunt. After that I’ll continue to bait but shoot the ones I see… when it starts to get really cold I’ll bait less and maybe only once a week. From what I understand if you do it right they can get so desperate for the free meal they can be pretty reckless.
Good luck broski.
Well, its seems mine is on the way; too bad I wont be here next week to get my greedy hands on it when it arrives; at least I will have something to report on my return. Honestly, I just can't wait to take it apart.![]()
Nvgs would be great but yeah in Arizona can't hunt with them only red light. Another thing is you can't put out trail cams in Arizona either. I know they're out here but my timing is off. Every time I see him I have my Pulsar 177 with me.

I guess maybe sorry to hear that…lol…we all make that mistake…lol.. was getting tired of hearing that you spend more time with your guns than you do me ..she wasn’t lying about that…lol..so I let her give it a try…on my Super Redhawk.44 Magnum…told her to be careful with this big boy…not sure if she had her eyes closed but she blasted the X out with one shot…I asked her to do it again..she said no and told all my friends that she was a better shot …I let her have that one…it kept the peace for many years…lol…I say you got to give a little to get a lot…lolMy wife hasn’t shown much interest in my airgun tinkering, until now. I made the mistake of handing her the MP40, saying “here, give it a try”. On full auto. I’ve created a monster.
