BB Guns and Such / Re: Crosman 760 "enough" accuracy for a 7 year old?« Last post by anti-squirrel on Today at 02:25:53 PM »A couple things:
1: that's abysmal accuracy even for a smoothbore 760 at 25 feet. My very first BB gun was a 760 and it could put every BB inside a 2" circle at 25 feet 2: such poor accuracy would have frustrated me to the point of losing interest 3: way more accurate barrels are available dirt-cheap from Crosman What would I do? Skip the smoothbore. Just order up a MK4-177 rifled barrel from Crosman; somewhere in these threads I have a brief post on how I altered a given-to-me 760 a few years ago. I've since re-barreled a number of 760s, and all of them shoot BBs mediocre... But they all cloverleaf at 15 yards with cheapo Crosman domes (and Daisy wadcutters). I also found the RWS Meisterkugeln wadcutters really give great results (out to 30 yards-ish!). I know BBs are way cheaper, but accuracy is far more rewarding with an accurate barrel. I get frustrated with projectile-flingers that display horrid accuracy. If I'm plinking with a BB-gun, I'd rather it be a dedicated BB gun like a Daisy Model 25 or Buck. 7
Back Room / Re: So....Whatcha Eating?« Last post by avator on Today at 02:22:15 PM »She got some crab rangoon dip recipe off the internet and she's making that. I think she said she's adding it to a cheese, pepperoni and cracker/chip tray. That will be lunch and leftover lasagna and pull apart garlic bread for dinner. Maybe a root beer float for a snack later.

Back Room / Re: Good morning! Are you up yet? What's your plans for today?« Last post by anti-squirrel on Today at 02:11:59 PM »Everybody is doing all kinds of fun stuff judging by what I'm reading here. Well, maybe not all fun, but fun enough. We're cooler here; low 60s at most after several 80+ degree days, and rain inbound.
Me? I was intending to load up the trailer and the pick-up with tools, cabinets, shelving, etc to bring up to our shed on the property, but with rain likely, I'm holding off until tomorrow morning. The good news is we have a provisional occupancy permit so we can start moving household goods to the quonset. I'm done hanging doors at the "old house", but Goal #1 is still finishing the final door frame in our hallway. No door, just the jamb, but I have to rip some boards, then shim and level out the threshold, then build it out. Somewhere in between data migration stuff in my "day job" I also need to make some French Cleats for our bathroom cabinets. Once I finish this last frame, I can start with the trim and the remaining drywall/skimcoating on the current house. Dunno how much I'll accomplish today, but making progress is really all we can ask for. 10
German AirGun Gate / Re: Is there a competitor for the HW 50?« Last post by HectorMedina on Today at 02:04:15 PM »It was nice to see the Diana 280 brought up. I don't see it mentioned much at all. I absolutely love mine. For the shooting I do I couldn't ask for a better all around rifle. I wish it was still available. Hello Bill, Happy to see you are still happy! Keep well and shoot straight!
