    Diana How long can a springer be left cocked before spring degradation?

    Thanks for your input Toxylon. So far I think I'm doing right by my springers and will continue the practice of not leaving them cocked other than while hunting.

    Diana How long can a springer be left cocked before spring degradation?

    If it's cocked it's loaded. I always discharge it in a safe direction before putting it away.

    Diana How long can a springer be left cocked before spring degradation?

    I'm talking Diana 48 specifically, and all springers generically? Reason I ask is I don't like to leave it cocked, but sometimes my targets don't show up for 20 minutes. The gun is a pain to cock when target presents itself.

    Oh yeah, Crows will kill other birds, raid their nests and eat their eggs. To me a Crow is a target of opportunity.

    More rat kills with my Ghost,with a couple slow motion kills.

    Curious if you have tried Gamo Red Fire? I have had great success using them in .177 caliber for one shot kills on Tree Rats and Asian Doves.

    .177 7.8 grn Gamo Redfire vs back of Gopher head/skull

    Good, and thank you for the reply. I still have to chronograph my rifles, but think it was going at least 850 fps. I haven't seen any fresh moved dirt in the area so have to think I got him. In fact I'm sure I saw impact on the back of it's beady little skull, but everything from that point...

    .177 7.8 grn Gamo Redfire vs back of Gopher head/skull

    Hi all, today I caught another busy digging up the yard again. I grabbed my Gamo Varmint and loaded a Gamo Redfire 7.8 grn pellet and wacked it in the back of it's head from around 15 ft. with a Gamo Varmint .177 rated at (printed on the barrel) 1250 fps. From that range I don't think I could...

    Diana Diana 48 .177 ft. lbs. of energy?

    Hi, sorry to say I let the summer slip by without doing any testing. Life in general caught me off guard. It's snowing as I write this so I may have to put this off again. :unsure: It'd good to hear your D52 is working well.

    First deer with an airgun.

    Respectable. I've not considered taking Deer with an Air Rifle? I know some states require at least .50 caliber when using black powder.

    Maverick .177 Porker Down

    No crap given, I'm just impressed that you took a Hog with a .177 pellet, albeit 23 grains moving right along. Good job! :cool:
