Last time I shot a GS was in the early 90s. I used a RWS Diana 34 anniversary model. I made a really lucky head shot on a GS at approximately 85 yards. I held about the height of a GS over shooting a 10.65 H&N pellet. I think it was going about 760 fps.
I would also like to add, .177 and.22 pellets are much easier to get locally. My last 2 air rifles I've bought were springer/gas piston. I do like the simplicity of a springer or even a pump pellet rifle. I don't know what the fpe is required for a GH as I've never shot much less seen one. I...
They're right, springers are not easy to be accurate with. The higher the power the harder to be accurate with. Consistency is the key to shooting one. You have to hold it exactly the same way if you want the POI to be the same as the POA every time.
The only gas piston springer I've had any experience with is my hatsan 135 and I don't think any scope could possibly survive on that monster.😯 It recoils forward so violently it stings my trigger finger.
I did the same thing Gerry did and stopped having the problem of the disks blowing. I too don't trust the auto shut off and keep a watch while filling.
Another thing does your rifle have a pin probe or pellet probe! The pin probe allows more airflow than the pellet probe. If you buy a slug liner get the slug kit. It will have the heavy hammer and hammer spring along with the adjustable pin probe.
Ever since I retarded er retired I'm way busier than when I worked 40+ hrs a week. SWMBO has way more things for me to do than I can ever get done and the pay stinks 🦨!
I'll be hauling 1000 gallons of water up to the house. I live off grid so all water and propane has to be hauled up the 5.5 mile unmaintained dirt road. I have solar for power.
A neighbor killed a mountain lion in his chicken coop about 6 years ago but he used a.357. he's only about a half a mile from me. We have mountain lions, black bear, bobcat,javolina, lots of yotes, deer, elk, and prone horn antelope.
