F.R. 2 Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Well I started with a Beeman R7 in .177 (Weirauch HW30 I think) for the backyard for squirrels and such but at this altitude not only wouldn't kill a squirrel but was quite embarrassing in front of the wife's grandfather who has a $30 gun from WalMart that was dropping pigeons when I couldn't. I've ordered a Webley Spectre .22 (FX Cylone- Sweden) which has 3 power levels topping out at 34 fpe. Will handle whatever........... Weaver V24 6-24X42 mildot and will being sniping on low power shortly (14 fpe) and have pics of dead prairie dogs for those interested. Supposedly same power adjuster as the UK model just turned upside down? Am told will go through 1/2" plywood at 50 yds. Will get a photo up shortly. Quote Link to post

F.R. 2 Posted April 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 We'll have some to work over- no worries. The area some local guys do target at is LOADED with them running all over this guys fields. Unbelievable amounts of them up north of me. Quote Link to post
F.R. 2 Posted April 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 8 shots to zero then a 20 yd easy shot. The gun is quite solid. Excellent two stage trigger and Logun silencer. Can only hear the valve ping which is ideal for my area. Center chest with no exit- pellet under skin between ribs and hide along spine at 14fpe on low power. Will be doing prairie dogs shortly.

F.R. 2 Posted April 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Yes, Fox Squirrel. You can send the tails, fur in here for lures etc. for fishing as well. They only want to trade out lures here though! Quote Link to post
