    Ground squirrel appreciation thread

    Last time I shot a GS was in the early 90s. I used a RWS Diana 34 anniversary model. I made a really lucky head shot on a GS at approximately 85 yards. I held about the height of a GS over shooting a 10.65 H&N pellet. I think it was going about 760 fps.

    N/A old man that is newby to air guns

    I would also like to add, .177 and.22 pellets are much easier to get locally. My last 2 air rifles I've bought were springer/gas piston. I do like the simplicity of a springer or even a pump pellet rifle. I don't know what the fpe is required for a GH as I've never shot much less seen one. I...

    N/A Will a gas piston trash a scope like a springer?

    The only gas piston springer I've had any experience with is my hatsan 135 and I don't think any scope could possibly survive on that monster.😯 It recoils forward so violently it stings my trigger finger.

    RTI Nova Liberty

    The Liberty wasn't sold by PA but the probe for the avenger MIGHT fit as nova used some parts from the Liberty in the avenger.

    Fixes for Hatsan 125 .25, barrel hole is over sized?

    Mike Ellingsworth rebarraled a 135 with a barrel from lothar Walter due to the same problem.

    10mm burst disc that doesnt blow below 4500psi?

    I did the same thing Gerry did and stopped having the problem of the disks blowing. I too don't trust the auto shut off and keep a watch while filling.

    FX FX MK4, .25 Cal. A little disappointed?

    Another thing does your rifle have a pin probe or pellet probe! The pin probe allows more airflow than the pellet probe. If you buy a slug liner get the slug kit. It will have the heavy hammer and hammer spring along with the adjustable pin probe.
