Teds back!

Great to see Ted!! Finally an accurate explanation of the functions of these gun. I, too have all these guns and find the 22 WC an accurate "LIGHT" stalker. Conversely the Impact & Maverick are more artillery pieces. My favorite stalker is my P15 25. Short, truly light and accurate. I put a wraith on it for night work. I don't think I'd part with it.

That was a great video to watch. Ironically I ordered the last Wildcat MkIII .177 Compact in stock at Pyramyd this morning shortly before seeing this video post.

The Wildcat...
What you see is what you get
the ultimate toy for son and dad
it’s my daily butter and bread
like it is for our good ol’ Ed.
Nice to have you back again Ed ! Indeed the WC brings that joy back we had as kids shooting ! I will never sell mine .

Yep.......... His choice of gun is similar to mine as I prefer the FX M3 Compact in .25. He eludes to the "FUN" factor and indeed it is (For Me anyway) the stalk and the deceiving the pray with elusive tactics The FX compact is Very Light weight 6 LBs topped with a 13 OZ Leuopold 3 X 10 50 MM (for light gathering and simple Old School Fine cross hairs and GREAT Optics!.. This whole package comes in at some what under 7 LBs. to carry through the forest. For me shoot'n paper or pigeons at 150 yds is a Boring Fixed position shooting.....I too can relate to my original Daisy Model 25 with the 50 shot tube BB's and slide action (the very most powerful BB gun of it's day.. (You Know the one with the "Pledge on the very end of the butt stock and the Pledge saying that yo would always protect etc. ") Albeit the BB's always cured as I viewed through the flip up peep sight because BB's then were not perfect round but rather had detentes! I still have this orig daisy today in perfect shape in my Gun Cabinet.....walking the neighbor hood shooting and stalking Squawking Butcher birds............I still have the Very most fun doing this....... with the FX Compact today....however, have graduated to using .25 Cal Hollow-point slug instead of BB's...............Long Live the Kid in all of us and remember the Old Daisy Slogan...."Watch out Kid You are liable to put out some one's eye with that"
Thanks for sharing Ted!

Sorry , maybe I understood Ted’s video wrong but according to what I heard his choice of gun is a Wildcat MK3 .22 and not a FX M3 .25.....
(He says he owns an impact and a Maverick but he found his pure fun back in shooting the WC....)

Yes, I concur, Ted likes the WildCat...as I understood that as well! However, I was drawing the comparison to the end experience Not the exact choice of guns....sorry if I was not clear on that point. The platforms may change but the message is to me, more about the fun and experience of stalking and the hunt!

I didn't catch the MKIII. I thought he had an original. Maybe a 2. I'll have to go back and look

Guys, it wasn’t about the specific gun, just the end message. He walked away from the limelight to find himself again. He went back to what he enjoyed most. That just happened to be with the wildcat mk2 .22 compact. In the end, it doesn’t matter what you shoot, as long as you’re enjoying yourself doing it!
