I like MSP’s...but the offerings today are limited (and not too thrilling). Sad to say, but the best of that breed are all in the past tense.

Old guy ramble:As a kid (and most every one in the US at the time) would hunt with MSP’s...Crosman 101’s, Benjamins 342’s, Sheridan “C’s.Basically 11-14 foot pound rifles in standard from. In the warm months (when I should NOT have been hunting) add in the old Crosman 160/180's on co2.Remember killing tree squirrels and rabbits out to what I then though was “far”.Old homestead existed until I sold it in 2012. Walked it, measure it, buildings still there, shade trees still there (although fatter/taller).Memory of “far” then works out to about 40 yards in real measurement.The game haven’t grown armor plates or gotten bigger….what killed them back then (call it 12 foot pounds muzzle energy) kills them today.TODAY..better pellets, better files, optical sights…..more accurate. But I still stick a 40 yard limit on airguns of the same power (regardless of what they could do...or how tiny the groups).I can certainly live with that….works as well now as it did then….but you gotta be a hunter to get inside of 40 yards, leave the rest to the wanna-be snipers.
