    P-rod shooting to the left.

    Thanks for your help. I am not sure what you disagree with, though. If I cannot get the gun to fire straight, I will try to return it and maybe get a SPA Airmax P15 and associated air compressor from mrodair.com. Really interesting to see the performance of these Chinese airguns...

    P-rod shooting to the left.

    Well, of course the poor documentation for the scope does not say which way is which. I just assume that moving it in the opposite direction from L would move it to the right. However, the grouping is so far off that moving it all the way in either direction has little effect. I will just...

    P-rod shooting to the left.

    All good suggestions. I ordered the Hawke rings to go with the Hawke scope. While waiting for the Hawke scope and rings, I will try to shim the Centerpoint and see if that can work. I am just hunting squirrels at short distance with a single red dot as a reticle. The Centerpoint should be...

    P-rod shooting to the left.

    OK, you mean the mounting rings for the scope, right? I hadn't thought of that. Is there some benefit to buying better mounting rings now that I have ordered a new scope?

    P-rod shooting to the left.

    I just went out to zero my new Benjamin Marauder Woods Walker Pistol, which comes with a Centerpoint scope. Joe W. Rhea hates Centerpoint scopes. But anyway, I was unable to zero the scope at only about 10 yards or less. Even after adjusting the scope all the way to the right, the group is...

    From reading some other threads, it looks like the best thing is to get an Air Venturi compressor for $1,200 and a Beeman 90, and send the hand pump I ordered back.

    I have received my Woods Walker, .22 gauge now. I think this is somewhat different than the Marauder rifle, although I am not sure how. I am just waiting for the pump now, which is supposed to come today. If I were to get a compressed air tank from AOA, where do you recommend getting it filled?

    Intenseaty22: OK, if you are shooting in your backyard, then I can see how that would work. That is not legal in my city. Thanks again for all your help.

    Intenseaty22: The Cricket Mini Carbine looks solid. I looked at some reviews on youtube and people say that it is even more accurate and solid than the Daystate Pulsar. The only thing putting me off is the weight of it. My guess is that the Woods Walker will be the best choice for me, but I...

    Spysir: I do not have a chrony, nor do I even know what that is. I bought a tin of 18.13 grain pellets from JSB, called the JSB Match Diabolo. They are lead. I am not sure if I should use those for hunting or not. I also bought a tin of 14.5 grain RWS Superdomes. I don't know what those...

    Keyman62421: Do you mean Youtube Channels? I really don't know how those work, to tell you the truth. But I will look into it, thanks. Hynzie: I finally found the 25% discount you were talking about. I missed it because I had an adblocker turned on in my browser. But it turns out that...

    Hynzie: What link do you mean on this site to order from? I ordered from Amazon. The Woods Walker is $399. The RWS Magnum 350 I ordered from Pyramyd was $529, although Amazon has it for more than $100 less. Pyramyd says they will give first time orderers a 10% discount, but I didn't get...

    Quintoona: Thanks for the advice about those hunting airguns. All of the ones you mention, though, are more than twice as heavy as the Woods Walker. Are there any other guns under 3 pounds that would be appropriate? Seems like the Woods Walker is in a class by itself, but Benjamin is not a...

    Intenseaty22: Thanks for your advice regarding springers versus PCPs. The guns you list are all target guns. The Pulsar is to die for, but I wonder if it is powerful enough to shoot squirrels? The guy in this video is just doing target practice, and the gun is 8.2 pounds. Seems...

    Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I am getting the Marauder and the hand pump tomorrow. Squirrel seasons ends on November 8, so maybe I will actually be able to get a squirrel before the season ends. Hopefully the Marauder and a hand pump will be up to the job. Most of the squirrels...

    Thanks lmold. For my second attempt, I have ordered a Benjamin Marauder Woods Walker PCP .22 pistol with a Benjamin High Pressure Hand Pump. I have no idea what to expect, since I have never used a PCP gun before. I don't know if it will be loud, heavy, accurate, or none of the above...

    > Just how many squirrels do you see on your walk? I do have a Benjamin Marauder pistol, and I can get about 30 shots 1 full tank. Do you see more than 30 squirrels in your walks? No, the goal is to get about 2-3 squirrels. But I might need to shoot a few rounds to make sure it is accurate...

    What is a carbon bottle? How much does it weigh? Do you carry it with you in your pack? What is a moderator? Are there any advantages of a PCP over the other technologies? Are they more accurate? Quieter? Lighter? Maybe I should just buy a cheap BB gun like I used to have in the 1970s...

    Thanks for the suggestions. I am not price sensitive, anything is fine. However, I will be walking through the woods, and it seems strange to have to take a high-pressure tank with me in the woods to hunt squirrels. That certainly did not exist back in the 70s. Why would someone want to do...

    The last time I shot an airgun was more than forty years ago when I had a BB gun as a teenager. It seems that the airgun scene has radically changed. Now I am looking to get an airgun to hunt squirrels with my dog in Oregon, because my dog is obviously a squirrel dog and that is what he wants...
