Squirrels are tiny little targets. A pistol is not really the best option. If you can get a C02 rifle that would be better. Walmart should also have Daisy 880 and Crosman 2100 or Legacy rifles that are 10 pump. Those are cheap and pump way easier than a pistol because of leverage.

3 inches at 22 yards is still not acceptable. I was trying to prep it for a "basic break barrel class" in field target. Only 1 shooter showed up, and he won the class with 6 hits out of 60 shots. I tried every pellet I have from crosman, jsb, and H+N. I feel someone less fortunate would...

I had 1, it was junk. I gave it the benefit of the doubt, and tore it down for a tune. New seals, spring, guide and debur. Stil would not get better than coke can accuracy at 15 yards. Checked barrel, recrowned, and still junk. Threw it in the garbage.

Maybe stop running off the shooters...

Should be the same. That being said, some have had difficulties with tolerances of certain brands of carts not agreeing with certain guns.

We have a farm truck. Luckily they don't rust here. I don't take it on trips because 11mpg cost too much to drive.

I was looking into a used small SUV or pickup I could camp in for going to archery shoots. The costs of adding another vehicle to our fleet were way higher than a couple nights in a hotel per month.

No one can answer that. You need to shoot a full string over the chronograph to see how it is performing now. The regulator is only a part of the tune.

Hold a finger out at arms length and let your eyes relax til you see double. Once you get that happening, you can hold up a pistol in each hand. Always use the set of sights closer to the center when in double vision. Left sights for the right hand and right sights for the left hand. Dry...

Disclaimer, I am biased towards the Anniversary model 362. I have $1000 air rifles and still like shooting the 362 with 3 pumps for indoor practice. The 2100 and Daisy 880 have been cheapened quite a bit compared to the 80's and early "90s era production ones.

I wasn't directing towards you. Had not scrolled down the entire thread yet.

Ruger does not make any, those are chinese imports. Wood stock and a good gun will be a no-go at your price point. A Daisy 880, Crosman 2100, or Crosman 362 will all have better accuracy than budget spring piston guns, but you will have to work for it pumping them up 8 or 10 times per shot...

It can be useful to keep them charged when stored. You know right away when you pick it up if it has leaked down with a quick glance at the gauge. I prefer to top them up to whatever fill pressure I have them tuned to before putting them away.

You are thinking backwards as far a straining the powerplant. Light pellets will be closer to a dry fire. Heavier pellets should soften the impact for the piston.
