Sounds like a couple of things going on. First thing is hammer weight. If you aren’t getting the speeds you are looking for having done this myself I can’t recommend going to the tungsten hammer in an impact highly enough. In .357 I was having issues getting the 93 grain nsa slugs running past...

I am actually a reptile owner and fan :) Besides my puppy dog. So I don’t watch anything like that, however I would actually comment on the slugs vs pellet argument for safety. In my experience which is more wood lands and trees slugs tend to be a little safer. Hollow points of course. BBS as...

I also thought the m4s came with that same tensioned block? Just it was behind your pic rails. Doesn’t mean you don’t have one there tho I’d bet. I watched Viking air gunners vids too and that was my take away. They are there just get rid of the side pic rails. Or as I said previously, check...

You’ll get the same or similar results now with the carbon fiber liner sleeve. Or if you buy a slug barrel right from fx (not just the liner) it can come glued in which is what I’ve got at the moment. My impact m3 does have the barrel “block” screws your talking about to tension it before it...

Thanks for everyone writing in about the ups and downs of hunting animals. For me anything larger than a Racoon gives me a bit of remorse. Ezra mine is the Pard TD32-70. I absolutely love the optic. Everything is designed for quick engagements. Compared to my ATN Xsight 5 lrf that I foolishly...

I empathize with you very much. When your pups are your family and your wife is scared to go outside at night you gotta do what you gotta do I completely understand. Nice set of rifles you got there! 90 grain in 30 cal? NICE. That slug must have pretty good BC? 750 MOA at 100yards? I have also...

Ahh close, using my pard td32x70. I absolutely love that scope. If I had to go to war I’d be taking that optic no question. I’ve heard allot of great things about the Thermnights like everyone else though. I use Picture in Picture for day mode/thermal. To answer another question from Ezra...

Boy this one was full of emotion. This is why I got into air guns. So I could quietly dispatch threats to my family. I took the pup out, and I can see a brown figure absolutely zooming toward us through the woods behind the brush. Coyotes are a thing here, fairly large ones. So I knew the score...

I would highly recommend a Balistic range finder that also takes angle into account. This takes the guess work out of it in the field. Zero to whatever your heart desires. I have a more closed off shooting area so I zero at 25yards. However a good ballistic range finder that tells you what to...

I’m guessing you mean dual regulators not dual plenum adjustments correct? I just think of my first stage reg (on an M3) as a step down reg. These do really work imo and give you better consistency from a fresh fill all the way to going off the reg compared to one single reg. So setting the...

My apologies I live in Oak Creek. So Bristol is not too far at all! BAGA huh? They are air rifle specific? Just curious. I am also NOT in farm country hehe. All I know is I shouldn’t be showing up places un announced at a farm or I might be the one getting hunted ;).

I am resurrecting this post from the grave as it's specifically talking about where I live. Do any of you SE Wisconsin folks know of any permissions that need hunting? I have mostly shot out of my back yard which has been great. Lots of game. However I really do want to stretch the legs of my...

Yes, I agree this happens to me every so often to me where I will have to take a few possums. You sure did unload though, what’d you use a hatson blitz w/extended mag? ;)

Yeah, I have to be honest. Here in Wisconsin I find myself actually feeling bad for the tree rats when it’s below zero. They are already suffering enough ;). Just feels cruel to shoot them besides.

We have a bit of a different relationship with coyotes at my house :). It consists of a phone call from my wife saying come quick I can hear coyotes out there shoot them before they get Winnie! (Our dog). I was only too happy to oblige. Tonight though I saw them through the thermal but way too...
