.177 FX Crown MK2 w/500mm in (partial) Saber Tactical chassis with 170cc tube shooting JSB 8.44g @ 719fps.
It's been a lean year so far pesting on the nursery. I am kinda a victim of my own pesting success over the last couple years, but owners are happy because squirrel damage costs are way down. Took the new Crown Tact Compact-ish rig(in .177 form) out pesting. This squirrel ranged right at 30 yards. He was sittin' back on a limb, left-eyeballin' me and I think I heard him say something bad bout my momma, so I let him have it. Entered below/behind left ear:
Exited under right ear. Fell DRT. No flopping at all. Peaceful exodus:
Strelock Pro says at 30 yards, that 8.44g pellet has about 7.2 ft/lbs. Enough to do the job, I guess?
