Right through the top of the noggin and even hit the front right forearm.1 shot 1 kill.Tango Down Sierra 1.That Bottled Banditto looks fun!It really deserves a compact 1-6x20 scope. The glass on this red dot is quite dark and I have to run the dot so bright to see it. The red dot on my Stormrider is much better and probably cost me the same $40-ish. The impact of the 177 10.03 JSB slug is ten times louder than the muzzle report. I swear it sounds like a rimfire when that slug connects with flesh.The Vortex Sparc 2 has a very nice 2 MOA dot and has more illumination than needed at daytime. Also has low and high mounts.They've been on sale for quite a while now; try Midway.Got mine for a little less than $200 in '17, but they're now half of that.I don't bother on cheap optics 'cuz they're just throwaway + Vortex has a lifetime warranty that is why I kept it even if it's made in China.I was thinking about the Monstrum SFP 1-6x22

welcome to the club LOL Nice shooting there Rocco !
D'oh, totally missed this thread! Here are my last two pests both chippers invading my shed. Nice pesting guys!
Nice, pest tale James, groundhogs are fascinating with the amount of ground damage they cause in a short period. Have you got any pics of the encounter?
I got a red squirrel this morning, which was a miracle given the shifty red dot. I spent an hour trying to get a good zero, but I gave up. I suppose I'll oder a new sight...

Have you got any pics of the encounter? It was in a public area so quick clean up was in order, hope to get some others in a non populated area soon enough though.
After getting reports of juvenal G-hogs running from under the barn to the pasture, ,I set up and stalked them and got 1, set up a couple traps t see if I can get the rest rounded up in shorter time. Bonus pic, of a doe and fawn eating apples before we made them reluctantly leave the area and go back to their woods [smg id=8894]
