Perfect, my medium height rings are at 1" so the 1/2" rail riser should put me right there.
You could be like me?i get so much wrong" that the spell police gave up on me" WillyIn a previous post I was PM'd by a AGN member and accused of not respecting America because of the lower case "A" in Aoa. That lower Case "A" should have been cap'd but for Arizona not America. The Subject Line I couldn't change but I edited the rest to AoA. It's Air guns of Arizona not America. To those of you from Arizona I apologize. Was this error enough to chastise me? Bill
It works great, even in the daytime, as the temperature of a just expired squirrel is much warmer than ambient. A dead squirrel blends into the leaf bed super easy, which makes them really hard to spot. I've also used this to pick up on blood trails, and it was very helpful. My AGM-Taipan also has a feature which will protect it from burnout if you keep it focused too long on the sun, it will shut the unit down.@N2 Shooter That’s actually a good idea and I have no idea why I didn’t think of it. Perhaps it’s because I have a buddy that uses a thermal scanner to hunt squirrels and I’m not a fan of this. As much as I like the sporting aspect of hunting gray squirrels, I may have etched it in my brain to not carry a thermal monocular. I guess I could start carrying my Asp Micro for retrieval on evening hunts like this. I don’t think I’ve used it in the daytime. I need to double check to see that sunlight won’t damage the unit. I’ve read of a unit that was recommended not to use in sunlight. I can’t recall which one. Thanks for the suggestion and the compliment. I honestly didn’t think many people would want to read all of that.
Another thing that I find useful on hunts that I hadn’t been carrying for about a year is a small pair of hand pruners. When I carried them a couple of seasons ago, I was all over the place. I had some cheap dollar store trimmers that work great for vines. Gotta add that to the list. I forget small things when I don’t plan my hunts. If I’m hunting nuisance animals I’m more apt to make a list and pack what’s needed. This was a much needed hunt that was a bit impromptu. I almost didn’t go, but pushed myself to get out. I’m glad I did, it just sucks the way things unfolded.
I had to go look to aee who was handling my order, and it's Darten.Shane always goes above and beyond. He is a big reason I shop at AOA
Look at all those flags pointing in the same direction... That'd make a man crazy.
The setup you have there looks good, Your PCP should also be above the compressor and filter, Humidity looks good to goI just got this alpha filter because I noticed droplets of water in my output hose. I have the molecular sieve pre filter and now the alpha. I haven't seen a drop of water come out of the alpha, even after using it for 2 hours straight. Maybe the compressor and pre filter are trapping it all? It's about 50%rh in my garage.
Does it matter if the alpha is higher or lower than the bottles? I've invested quite a bit in pcp guns and finding water in that line made me freak out. I think I've got it set up OK but thought I would post a pic incase anyone notices anything I've got wrong.
Thanks for any advice.
Absolutely agree on the ceramic, even a low end kitchen knife worked amazingly well. I lay the Airgun on top of the foam and then used thin painters tape to outline, then used marker to trace which made it easy to fix anything that I wanted to snug up a bit.Here is the Ceramic Utility knife I use......

Oh, I see. Yup.Fire starter? Picking splinters? Magnifying glass? Worst case;, napping a projectile point.
