    Thermal Optics for Hunting

    That's one of those odd "legal department warnings" like "don't jump off cliff". Generally people shouldn't look directly at the sun without the appropriate gear, like welder's goggles. Thermal scopes are not welder's goggles.

    Thermal Optics for Hunting

    I have not heard of any thermal devices that couldn't be used during the day.

    Who all goes to the trouble of baiting chipmunks?

    Here chipmunks aren't a problem. Usually squirrels aren't either. It's just raccoons, rabbits, rats, mice, bald eagles, harris hawks, barred owls and the occasional sea otter. The only ones I have success baiting are rats and mice. I have neighbours that feed the raccoons, so they always...

    EDgun Edgun Leishy 2 Reg Defect.

    I doubt that's a defect. Likely just two of several iterations of the "same" thing. Do they both perform equally well?

    What is better

    I think you need to tell us a bit about your hunting sessions. I basically only pest with my gun, so it's rare that I take more than two shots a night with it. My sessions go like this: find pest (the population is under control so there's never more than one), shoot once, and if needed, a...

    What is better

    Not so clear. How do you use your gun?

    I got my Crosman 1322 barrels direct from Crosman, although it was some time ago.

    NEW to pcp looking for rifle

    People are extremely fussy about their airguns here. Your conditions are a pretty low bar, so there's quite a lot out there that'll do the job you want. The only real constraint you've given the forum is the price constraint. Pesting to 80 yards is a low bar for most guns these days. So you...

    What a BREECH!

    My PCP is for backyard pesting, so semi-auto is preferable to any other configuration. I don't think I've ever needed more than one follow-up shot, but it's a handy thing to have available when in a genocidal rage against all backyard rodents. I've never had an issue with jamming or misfires...

    Fed-Ex lost another one! Just in case someone might see it

    I've never had a problem with FedEx, although I almost never use them. I'm having a $3000 sword shipped via FedEx right now so hopefully my luck holds up!

    Why does FX come out with so many different rifles ?

    I'll admit I'm not fully-informed. Never fired an FX rifle. Never seen one in real life. But I've observed their behaviour for years and my impression is they are simply an airgun manufacturer that's taken the message from modern marketing to heart. Whether or not you think that's a good...

    What rifles have you bought twice?

    I've had three or four Crosman 1322's. Modified them, gave them away to friends and family.

    Have you found that “ One Airgun”?

    I pretty quickly found the one PCP that fits my uses best. Edgun Leshiy 2. Mainly what I need is compact and semi-auto. It's a convenient pesting rig, nice and packable, and brings just the right amount of punch.

    All New “ACE” Precision Slugs -

    Thanks. The Edgun Leshiy 2 magazine is 0.433071" in depth, so these won't fit.
