Maybe if you'll mod your Notoses less you'll have 68 cents for that electric outlet cover!
Well I started off with a break barrel, cheap, turned out the barrel was bent so I straightened it, have it shooting fairly well but not at the distance I needed, 50 to 125 yards, so, a Sapsan, that was better but had some issues, then a Maverick VP, the usual FX quality control issues, fixed it, then a pre destroyed Maverick that I turned into a .22 compact, let's call it a learning experience. I finally have my Mavericks working fine, my Sapsan is as good as it's going to get. Have a Raptor works well except for a darn leak I can't find, not fast so when shooting it, so it doesn't matter. Also have a Tequila Pistol, another learning curve, mostly my fault of being brain dead, it's pretty darn accurate at 25 yards, more accurate than I am. Oh and an OLD Daisy 717 that just shoots, need to fix the sights on it. Did a trigger job on it a long time ago, a sweet shooter.My journey is similar, about 3 years with my Maverick. Tried to do it with cheap, then really good break barrels but found these to be quite tough to shoot accurately. Hold, pellet choice, many variables. Enter the PCP era! Cheaper first (Avenger) then FX.
Jus think what could do with a "RIFLED" barrel - you know who hahhahahhahaGood shooting there Rick C.

Cheers Kenny! Growing up, I absolutely devoured stories from airgun magazines, so that’s a massive compliment!You have wonderful writing skills. It felt like reading a story in a hunting magazine from the past. Thanks for taking me along on your hunt.

Wanna bet on that LOL !!member
and I know that I can outdo all of y'all!
I went to a longer air tube ... converted it to .20 caliber and shoot it tuned for @ 17 fpe. In tube HuMa reg.i
I'm still trying to find someone to cut down the air tube for me.. so far no success..

Yes sir. One I can just leave in my pickup and not worry about it. Also forward cocking for faster follow up shots and at 12fpe .177 being as quiet as they are I expect more follow up shots on other birds.Something you can beat up and toss around without much concern and still put lead where it needs to be at close range!
