    N/A A short edit in response to the California Ground Squirrel plague

    In my neck of the woods it’s the Colombian ground squirrels and ours come out a bit later, more like April. And this year the fresh crop of young ones that are very unaware didn’t come out till July. Went to Montana for a few years where they were more prolific , those were Richardsons squirrels...

    Skout Skout Epoch compact owners?

    I have an Epoch compact and love it. Mine is a 30. From what I have read the 2 Regs work in conjuncation with each other and even though I have read about it , it’s not completely clear to me. The gun has no traditional hammer and from my understanding that’s where the electric part comes in...

    Optic suggestion

    I’m a Sightron fan as well. Have a 4x20 x50 ffp and have a 3x16 x42 ffp on the way.

    Optic suggestion

    If the scope is for an air rifle , I prefer a 10 yard focus. I have a Mark 4 on a pb but won’t work for me on an air rifle. I just picked up a GPO that I’m very happy with.

    N/A A short edit in response to the California Ground Squirrel plague

    @Motorhead . That picture had me salivating for a situation like that. Anyway looks like a lot of fun ! That’s exactly my passion , but all of ours here in N.Idaho have gone down for the year.

    The $2000 dollar gun.

    I’m basically a wood stock guy from way back. However after my first wood stock pcp and being a hunter for the most part , I quickly saw the beauty in the chassi style. So now I don’t own a wood stock pcp anymore. When I acquired my raw I opted for the chassis and put an Impulse air moderator...

    Ammo Price Increases

    Might make the made in America guns more popular, but they will probably go up as well.

    which shooting sticks?

    I started out with the trigger stix monopod years ago but it pretty wobbly. I have also tried the bipod one, which is a bit easier to deploy. Decided on the tripod because it’s much more solid for holding the gun still.

    which shooting sticks?

    I use the primos trigger sticks tripod. Easy to carry and fairly quick to deploy. My buddy uses a carbon fiber tripod with the ball head. For walking around it just looks awkward to me. I’m of the belief that the trigger sticks are better on uneven ground.

    Reticle questions

    I just picked up a Sightron 4x20 x50 s- tac scope ffp with the zero stop. Love the reticle and a very nice scope. I also picked up a compact GPO 4x16 that’s really nice.

    Reticle questions

    I used to use the Xmas tree to shoot off from with my pb guns. I have decided to start dialing my elevation and then I can use the horizontal hash marks for windage.

    Ballistic coefficient of 45.06 jts 30 caliber pellet.

    I’m getting some Kenton turrets made up and they need to know the ballistic coefficient of the pellets, does anyone have that information?

    RAW Rapid RAW .30 fps sweet spot with 44gr JSBs?

    Interesting , I just got some Jts 45 gr. Pellets that seem to shoot better in both my 30s than the jsb s. Took my Skout epoch compact out to my buddy s range the other day to get the dope for my free Kenton turrets for my Gpo compact. Didn’t do the official spread etc. since I was more...

    I just looked through 3 of my unmounted scopes

    Weight is of primary importance to me on my hunting guns. This eliminates many scopes from the list for consideration. Add in the 10 yard focus, ffp, illumination in reticle, price, power, and the list is manageable.
