But it's truly worth while trying and you might get away with it, it depends how long you've been married!

I still say, 1 shot to the brain and I do understand that not everyone's comfortable with shot placement but it doesn't have to be .177.

Well, you definitely want a compact gun (between your legs in the cockpit), and aluminum or “non corrosion” materials because of the salt water. I live by the sea, and also bring airguns with me in the kayak now and then.
Anyhow you have to clean the gun after use, and I also use a layer of WD40 on the metal parts/screw heads before exposing the gun to the salty air.

Yeah my sig needs attention after each trip. I'm a 'buy once cry once' kind of guy but there's the urge to get a beater too for this job.
We go out in the gulf or Atlantic almost every weekend. This is my 7 foot tarpon this summer. Note the fishing rod is snapped in half lol
My friend Shaun with a nice stingray

I'm up on Pinellas County. Just a bit too far north to have the iguanas. Also beautiful tarpon!

They are selling quickly. Probably sell out by tonight. I'd order one and if you hate it you can resell it for the 200$ you're paying. Lol

I ordered one. Damn $212.99 with code OTD including tax and free shipping. Can't complain!
Won't feel bad if it gets a little salty either.
Thanks for the heads up!!!

I lived at the beach in Florida for years. Now I live in the swamp in Florida, just a few miles from the beach. My 1322 tackle box gun looks like an artifact because of all the rust. Salt, sand, and water will do a number on any gun but PCPs have got to be the most vulnerable. I carry a cheap, sawed off, Crosman springer in my canoe for a squirrel hunting boat gun. If you take it on a boat be prepared for it to end up slopping around in the bilge.
Plan for the worst. Hope for the best.

Yes the salt water and humidity is a killer of things for sure.
I have a gamo springer which was cheap. May saw the stock off and shorten the barrel. I won't cry if that gets rusty
