    Best .22 pellets for rats that don’t blast through

    I would try a lightweight, target/wadcutter type of pellet. The light weight of the pellet, coupled with the flat, near full diameter nose of the pellet, should help reduce penetration. Can a P-rod be tuned down? I am unfamiliar with them. If they can, that would be another option. It doesn’t...

    Squirrels, .25 pellets, JSB Kings vs Polymag what would be your choice?

    BlackICE, You sound almost apologetic for taking body shots on squirrels. Don’t be. There is absolutely nothing wrong with them. If a tight behind the shoulder body shot is the responsible, humane shot on a big game animal, why would it not be on a squirrel or a rat? Some folk get all wrapped...

    Squirrels, .25 pellets, JSB Kings vs Polymag what would be your choice?

    Gents, I have sent many a ground squirrel to the great beyond with the 25 caliber, 34 grain JSB’s. Every squirrel I’ve hit in the head, or in the chest cavity ceases to be quickly. Think about a 25 caliber pellet zipping through a critter the size of a squirrel. Relatively speaking, that’s a...

    California Permissions

    Gents, In regards to seeking permissions, I have a few of them here in sunny SLO county California, and I can tell you what worked for me securing these permissions, and some other ideas I have in doing same. First and foremost, emphasize that you will be doing all of your shooting with an air...

    .177 86 yard shot on squirrel slow motion .

    Nice shot. A head shot wouldn’t have killed him any deader. I remember reading a book by the great archer Howard Hill wherein he talks about hunting and eating grounds squirrels. No thanks… Justin

    Another good day

    Revin, Beauty shootin’! I like what you did with the leather on the bottle. It always freaked me out to rest the unprotected bottle on something whilst shooting. I use these on my bottle guns. https://www.amazon.com/KICK-EEZ-Cheek-EEZ-Protector-Shotgun-Thinnest/dp/B005KW7FX8 Work like a...

    Other thoughts on "tactical" vs traditional rifle

    “Tactical”….grrrrrrrrrr! Make me king for a day and I’d have that word stricken from the English language. Given the above definition, what on God’s great, green earth could be “tactical” about an air rifle, or, for that matter, 90% of all products labeled tactical (think tactical socks...

    Ground squirrel appreciation thread

    Gents, I visited a new permission for the first time this past Monday and without a doubt, it was my best squirrel safari ever, PB’s included. It was epic! As there were structures about, I stuck to my Brocock Sniper Safari in .177 shooting the JSB 13.43 Diablos at 820fps. Most of my shots...

    Brocock/BRK Brk Sniper..what a rifle!

    Funny you mention not losing POI after bumping the barrel. I was helping a friend with a project the other day and had left my Sahara in the cab of my side by side, leaning against the seat. A bit later, I happened by and noted that my Sahara was now half in, half out of said side by side, with...

    Brocock/BRK Brk Sniper..what a rifle!

    I get in the neighborhood of 140 shots from my Sniper Sahara .177 shooting the 13.4 grains JSB’s at about 820fps, which seems pretty good for a smaller, handy type of air rifle. When some marauding varmint on my property needs to die, the Sahara is the gun I grab. I totally agree about the...

    6gun, What kind of shot count are you getting out of your slugger? Justin

    Slugs

    Gents, All else being equal, does any caliber lend itself to shooting slugs more accurately, or seem easier to tune than other calibers? Thanks, Justin

    Ground squirrel CRAZY video clip

    Quite possibly the first time a song by Whodini has been used in a hunting video. Outstanding! I saw some kibbles and bits as a result of the shot. What were you shooting? Justin

    Brocock/BRK BRK Sniper Saharas For Sale. Why So Many?

    Gents, Is there a difference mechanically between the Sniper HR’s and the Sniper Saharas (besides some of the older Snipers having a bolt as opposed to a lever)? I thought the only difference was color. I have a Sahara in .177, and a Sniper HR in .22. I plan on being buried with them. Justin
