    N/A Recommendations for small/light pest gun?

    Thanks! Appreciate the continued advice and write ups. I have a long list of nice to have/someday guns, though I admit they really aren’t necessary for me. Good to hear more votes for the Dragonfly MK2. Pumpers are a trade off - they take time to pump while the springer takes more effort to...

    N/A Recommendations for small/light pest gun?

    Maybe I will give that a try sometime. I haven’t tried baiting yet, haven’t had to as so far the rats have not been hard to find, but some are more wary and bait could give me a little longer to aim. Yes, I’ve been using a red headlamp. The light itself doesn’t go far; it tends to reflect off...

    N/A Recommendations for small/light pest gun?

    Nice guns. I had to look these up, weren't on my radar. The few CO2 guns I've had just haven't worked well for me, but it's an appealing power plant. I'm also drawn to bolt actions. Do you have them in .177 or .22? How do you find them?

    N/A Recommendations for small/light pest gun?

    Thanks all for the tips on the pellets (no pun)! I have been using standard Crosman HP .177 as they're quite cheap on sale. I have some pointed, wadcutter, and super H point pellets that I'll give a try later and see how they compare.

    N/A Recommendations for small/light pest gun?

    “but at such short ranges it won't kill 'em a bit deader” This helped a lot! Thank you. I do love the HW30 and someday it would be nice to try those other cousins like the Diana 27.

    N/A Recommendations for small/light pest gun?

    Thanks for the tips! I’ll look into the red dots. Made myself a pellet pouch a while ago, and it does help a lot. One problem was I had a flashlight clipped to the front sight. Every time I cocked the gun, it moved the light away from the pest. I am going to experiment more with my set up.

    N/A Recommendations for small/light pest gun?

    I truly appreciate everyone's input and the honest opinions. You all are a great help. Yes, I was eyeing something like the Diana Chaser in .22 for compact light power and multi-shots, but it seems the additional caliber is not necessary for the situation....also the downside for CO2 is that...

    N/A Recommendations for small/light pest gun?

    I have been doing pest control (i.e., rats, mice) in the garden. I have been using my favorite rifle, a HW30S, but it is in .177. It works, and I prefer .177 for plinking and target shooting, but I'm thinking I might need a .22 (unless someone can dissuade me). Some of my priorities...

    N/A Finding compatible front sights

    How much are the old Anschutz sights usually? Any particular model to search for? Thank you.

    N/A Finding compatible front sights

    Thank you for the advice. I've taken a look on eBay and will continue keeping an eye on it. Since I already have an HW set, I was thinking of keeping everything as one set, but it looks like it's Weihrauch that is the odd ball and the others brands are far more interchangeable. Will keep that in...

    N/A Finding compatible front sights

    Ah, interesting that the dovetail on your 124 D is 9.3 mm. That is the front sight, correct? I wrote FWB and they told me it was 11mm, but I do not have calipers to check. I've also heard that "11mm" is often used loosely. Yes, I have an old Beeman peep sight with the target knobs too! I am...

    N/A Finding compatible front sights

    Ah yes, I mean the dovetail width, not the aperture size. Thanks for clarifying.

    N/A Finding compatible front sights

    Hi all, I have been trying to research these questions on my own for some time, and I think I need some expert input. The first question specifically relates to finding a front sight for my Feinwerkbau 124, although the question extends further to all 11mm-type front sights. Thanks to fellow...

    N/A Williams Peep Sight Modification & other Peep Sight options

    @Bearofgrayling Based on your recommendation and others I bought two peep sights awhile ago from a forum member for my HW30. It was great advice. I have a BugBuster scope but love the peeps more and am always surprised how accurate they can be. Question — I always see people commenting on how...
