Hal, I mean the ones that destroyed my shed and people hate getting in their attics. They will also eat the wiring harness of your vehicles.

I have a Daisy Powerline BB/pellet gun, not sure of the model, but, it has a rifled barrel. They come, or, came, either way. The 552, loaded with CB caps, is quieter. No, they don’t cycle the action, but, dead varmints don’t notice that from what I can see.


Best,
Ted

One reasons chipmunks and red squirrels eat the coating from electrical circuit wiring is that the coatings are made from a soybean extract-- the little buggers are attracted to that--RWTF

I’ve got a squirrel hit man. I watched the Neighbor hood Bobcat take up a tactical position behind one of the feeders and make quick work of a fat Fox Squirrel that had his mind on having breakfast.(not being breakfast)Very entertaining!

Up until a house went in near me this Spring a couple of CZ's, Varmint and MTR.





Do have a bunch of caps and shorts but mainly shoot subsonic target ammo



Silencer is still in BATF jail has been for more than a 100 days now so much for the e-file speeding up the process.

Got tired of the springers so earlier this year when the house went in finally broke down and got a Benjamin PCP Kratos 22 and HP compressor. Should have done it years ago, first seen them at the 96 Olympics at Atlanta. I give Grays a pass but reds and chippies are fair game. All have been head shots and anti dramatic with DRT and no fanfare, they expire on the spot.

Took an adjustable leg sawhorse and cut a bench top out of a piece of 2x4 plywood and shoot off the deck most nights at a Benchrest target.



Haven't cleaned the mean green target yet but that is on me, not the gun. 60 yards is about my max range this time of year with vegetation come winter that will increase a bit.

Friend of mine jumped on board couple of months ago with a FX Crown after hearing me talk about how much fun the PCP is. Yesterday he sent me a picture of 20 shots at 100 yards with his Crown.



Mine is plenty of gun for my needs however in a year or 2 when FX gets the slug thing tuned I might end up with a 600mm Impact. Just because, can't say I really need it over what I currently have. But the same could be said for my shotguns in the safe. And closets. And corners of the house...

Nice pictures C I. I have a different version of the CZ 457 that's become my 22lr fun bolt rifle by a mile. Right now it has too much scope on it, fun for the bench but bulky. I have stashes of good ammo, but I pretty much shoot that red box SK, and CCI standard velocity. Aguila standard velocity though has surprised me as being similar to the CCI and may throw less fliers for me, when it comes to cheaper ammo.

And field mice. Out West guess Pack Rats as well.

2 weeks ago picked up my Polaris Ranger Northstar Trail Boss that was ordered in Oct. of last year. The business manager tried to sell me an extended warranty and went over everything that was covered. When he finally finished I asked what wasn't covered and he said damage caused by rodents because that was neglect. I told him BS the damage is caused because they are putting food on the wiring and Polaris (and other manufactures) is at fault. I declined the extended warranty. I guess some insurance policies will cover it but then of course your premium will go up.
