    Caught up with PePe Le Pew

    Thanks for answering a question I was about to ask. We have one that wanders around the house after dark, that actually lives underneath one of my neighbors' porch. I wanted to try and take it out, but it stays pretty close to the house. Didn't know if there was a best place (or any place) to...

    Anyone get an extra bill from UPS for Krale shipment

    Hmmm... That's very interesting! Mine didn't even exceed $500, but they show $17.20 as US Customs Duties, and $12.00 for "brokerage charges". From your post, it doesn't look like I should have paid anything.

    Anyone get an extra bill from UPS for Krale shipment

    That's an interesting thought, but with my luck, it would crop back up in 5 years from a collection agency with a $5000 penalty for not paying it when I got the overdue notice. HAHA! Not funny. I would love to do that though. I just don't need the hassle. Maybe they know that and that's why they...

    Anyone get an extra bill from UPS for Krale shipment

    Well obviously I'm not the only one. I absolutely agree that Krale rocks. In my wildest dreams, I'd have never thought that they could get my rifle to me in the short time that they did. I ordered on a Tuesday evening, and had the rifle on Friday. Simply amazing! And it was very well packaged...

    Anyone get an extra bill from UPS for Krale shipment

    Thanks for the replies so far. It seems to be legit, since they have all the information from the shipment, but I totally agree that these are very deceptive business practices. I didn't think UPS was that kind of company. Thanks for the very helpful and informative information to each of you...

    Anyone get an extra bill from UPS for Krale shipment

    I bought a Walther LGU from Krale in the Netherlands a few weeks ago. I paid almost $50 in shipping to them. Today I received a bill from UPS Supply Chain Solutions for an extra $29.20 for apparently the weight being figured wrong. Has anyone else had this happen with a shipment from Krale, or...

    Squirrels at 40 yards. Recommendations

    I'm counting on this being the case. I'm hoping the challenge that an accurate springer will pose will make me a better shooter before I dive head-first into other platforms. Thanks! Jim

    Squirrels at 40 yards. Recommendations

    LOL! Tell me exactly what you think, Spartan! 😂 Believe me, I don't fall into ANY of those categories. I appreciate the info and opinion though. I think one of the main things I've learned here so far is that one doesn't "end up" anywhere. This hobby/obsession seems to be never-ending to...

    LGU Varmint .177 fpe question

    Thanks, y'all! Good to know they're not picky about pellets. I can hardly wait to try it out.

    Nice shot, and beautiful rifle! That's not your everyday TX200 MK3. That looks like an awesome piece. Thanks for sharing!

    LGU Varmint .177 fpe question

    Thanks for the quick replies! I would be mostly using it for small game. Squirrels, starlings, etc. The only springer experience I have so far is the cheap Ruger I mentioned in previous thread. I've gotten pretty good with it, and it's pretty accurate out to 20 - 25 yards, but I'm looking to...

    LGU Varmint .177 fpe question

    I'm trying to order a Walther LGU Varmint .177, but noticed it comes in two different configurations. One is the 11.8 fpe, and the other is listed at 17 fpe on the Krale site. Using their airgun calculator, the fps on the 11.8 fpe is 787 fps. The 17 fpe model shows 967 fps. I assume they're...
