I thought the consensus was not to consume urban or suburban coons. They eat too much trash and other potentially toxic "foods."

Well then, Annie Oakley, what would you call putting 30 rounds into a hole 2" across? Please deign to tell us. That is if you're not too busy stacking pellets and giving buzz cuts to mosquitos.

Well. If you’re shooting 2” groups at 35yds that would probably be 4” groups at 70..which doesn’t work for my use..shooting ground squirrels out to 150yds..but if you’re OK with that I’m not going to argue with you.

Not to derail the thread but because you asked..


If I’m not mistaken, the orange circles are 3”. Distance was 37yds. Wind right to left but not steady. The airgun used was an Edgun R5 Standard (short 18” barrel). Tuned to shoot the JSBs at 895..ball park 78ish FPE. The low shots were probably me not maintaining proper hold..too consistent in location to blame the pellets as flyers. The RTI P1s I currently have shoot this well or better..and have used the Mod40.

I would say maybe. And that maybe is gonna cost you a good bit of cash to find out. You definitely have a good pellet gun. And some guns should always remain a pellet gun. If you want to chase slugs, buy a separate gun for that. Then when you’re frustrated, the gun is broke because of something you saw on the internet or you’re waiting on a do-dad that is going to cure everything, you can shoot your good pellet gun.

Yep, I agree. My AA S410 shoots pellets(14.3gr Crossman Premiers and 15.89 and 18.13gr JSB's) out to 75yds excellenty, but is lousy with slugs. My FX King has a 1/16 twist and shoots slugs out to 100+yds but pellets just don't cut it for those distances and that rate of twist.

Looks amazing great work i was thinking bout making a stock for my vulcan also but with self laminated wood I have milled from logs. Everytime i see a custom stock the bug to do it gets bigger

Using a HUMA reg will also slightly increase your plenum size since it takes less space.

Drop dead GORGEOUS stocks...you have MAD SKILLS! Thanks for sharing!

i wish the C model mags had some sort of index on them, i tried to add br=earing balls with some success but not really
i have a odd duck it is a 853cm model very nice

The C model does index. Auto feed. If the two parts are still available, they would drop right in the CM model.

I recently ordered some H&N Precision 22cal 33gr .218 slugs from Hatsan. I also ordered the same slugs from Pyramid about six weeks ago and Pyramid says that they haven't gotten their shipment in yet, but Hatsan sent me an email the day after placing the order saying that my slugs are on their way. Why did Hatsan have the product I wanted, but Pyramid cant get them for themselves? One note, the price of the slugs jumped after I ordered them from Pyramid. Were your pellets in good shape when you got them from Hatsan?

Thanks Jungleshooter. I prefer SFP, short range would be 15, Longest around 100. Ideally under 600 bucks.

Yes that reticle has a nice center dot and looks like it's illuminated which is even better.

I am looking at Midas 4-16X44

OK, good, that's helpful:


Top end magnification:
At least 16x for 100y range — better 20x for seeing impact holes in paper target.


Bottom end magnification — really means "Field of View (FoV)":
Your comment that your 6-24x has a FoV that is too narrow is spot-on for ranges of 15y (typical FoV of 6-24x scopes is 20-22ft @100y).
For close-range hurried shots I consider 30ft "sufficient" — but 40ft "ideal".
There are few scopes with a bottom end of 4x that will give you those 30ft.
The bottom end magnification that gives you those 40ft is usually 3x.


️ Combining your top end and bottom end magnification requirements results in the ideal scope being a:
★ common: 3-18x
★ very rare: 2.5-20x | 3-24x | 3-28x

Less than "ideal" due to a narrower FoV, but "sufficient" could be:
★ uncommon: 4-24x
★ common: 4-20x (but often with a rather narrow FoV, e.g., Sightron)
★ rare: 4-32x



I attach below 2 Scope Specs Tables where you can compare scopes with those magnification ranges.

All scopes in the tables are separated into SFP and FFP.

They all have a 10y minimum parallax.

They all have exposed elevation turrets and a hold-off reticle.


⮕ You now simply go to the SFP section in the Tables.
There you find your magnification range —
then make sure the FoV is OK —
and note the price and warranty —
and if the reticle has a center dot (CD). (Please, note that only recently I started adding this info, so there are some scopes where this is not stated.)


Have fun scope shopping!
