Air rifles

I hunt critters in the yard at night when the dog is raising cane. I bought this Sig PCP rifle, which is pretty neat.

The air tank holds 3000psi and takes a few pumps to get it there. this is no ordinary tire pump. it is a high pressure one. the bottle will shoot about 150 times before needing pumping up again and it takes about 75 pumps to get it back to 3000.

It uses a 30 round belt that moves in a mag that locks in like an AR. It's not quite as powerful as some pump and breakover guns. it shoots a 22 caliber pellet. it will kill squirrels with ease.

Now for the problem, my bottle started leaking at the fill nipple and it is an an ball size that nobody has o rings or the nipple for it. so i called sig and they sent me a label to print and i sent it back in. it's been three months and not heard a thing. i have called twice and they are supposedly on backorder. so i give up on sig and ordered a whole new bottle made for the gun that's made in america. it's the ninja brand and it won't have that metric crap on it. shoulf be here next week

I was shooting them with this full auto bb gun, it don't have the power though. the first 30 rounds it's pretty stout but drops off quickly. it holds two small co2 cartridges in the mag. it's fun to play with but not serious enough to killl critters.

If you need an O ring, most auto parts stores have a box behind the counter that has rubber O rings in sizes from minuscule to jumbo. They’ve been very good source for odd ball size O rings. Ask the counter clerks for their O ring selection box

I just got the R1 Full Auto-branded version of that last week. Same basic gun with a few detail changes. Been shooting it quite a bit and plan to shoot it a lot more. I just put a red dot on it--great fun!

My LEAST favorite thing about it is how the quad rails tear up my hand--all the edges are quite sharp. Tomorrow I'm gonna see if I can find a set of quad rail covers for it locally.

Frankly, I wish they made it in a M4 or XM177 version--I'd buy another one!

tried all of them around here, it's so small nobody has it. that ninja bottle will solve the problem and i am going to call sig next week and find out what the status of the backorder is. last time they didn't know.
 
Ok this is me expressing my disappointment and honestly disgust in shooting animals for “fun”
Unless a critter is causing damage to your house I can maybe understand and yet there are still ways to mitigate that without killing them.
Obviously you can do you but I find this type of behavior reprehensible.
I’m done with this conversation.
 
I have Beaman P17 single shot that I use sometimes. I have single shot break open pellet rifle also. I think pellet guns/rifles are neat. I'm thinking about getting another one soon. I prefer single shot break open or pump action.

I've seen some expensive pellet guns and rifles out there. Too rich for my blood. But I like looking at them...:)

I've thought about buying a Crossman pump action in 22 pellet caliber just to see how different it is from 177 caliber..:)

I don't shoot them for fun, squirrels raid my pecan trees and cut limbs out all the time. they chew on the house siding, coons get in the dog feeder and trash. they turn cans over and make a mess.

Red squirrels in my area have a reputation for causing all types of damage to people's homes and cars.

In NH red squirrel season is open year round with no limit but grey squirrel season is only open for a few months during winter.

Chipmunks and field mice are overpopulated in my area and are considered nuisance pest that also cause destruction.

I'm against poisoning rodents because of the negative effects it has on birds of prey and other scavenger animals, but a clean kill from a pellet on a destructive critter is fair game if there's no other option.

Some regions of the country get affected differently with destructive pests as their populations have a burst of overgrowth just like wild hogs in the south.
 
Hogs have taken over here too, they are legal to hunt year round and even at night using night vision or lights. They are highly destructive. they root up the fresh planted pines the timber company plants on the lease we deer hunt on.

They beg us to shoot all of them we see. they multiply like rabbits and the big boars are pretty aggressive.

This one charged me at about 25 yards, i had benn deer hunting and got down out of the stand to walk back to my wheeler and i heard this thing growling. sounded like a bear. i had the weapon light on and about the time i seen him here he came. i had the scope on 10 power and it was useless. all i could do was shoulder and fire. he was huge. about 600 pounds. i give him to another member and they strung him up to clean and he was about 8 feet tall. he would have killed me if i didn't have that AR. it's a 224 Valkyrie.

We couldn't pick him up to put on the 4 wheeler so he dragged him back to camp

It's called Conservation. Look into it.
Hunters as Conservationists

“In a civilized and cultivated country, wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen,” the 26th president of the United States said years ago. “The excellent people who protest against all hunting, and consider sportsmen as enemies of wildlife, are ignorant of the fact that in reality the genuine sportsman is by all odds the most important factor in keeping the larger and more valuable wild creatures from total extermination.”
