Title: Little target 6/7
Post by: thekid on August 06, 2012, 03:47:17 AM
Spent a good portion of the day trying to figure out what was wrong with the 34 .22.
I had thought it was the scope, but after replacing that, it continued it's inaccuracy. Re-tuned and detuned to 14.5 fpe from 16, cleaned the barrel, touched up the crown and re-sighted her in. Glad to say it worked out great and it's as healthy as ever. I love my springers.

These two rodents were hit about 10 mins apart. The 34 .22 with Crosman premier ultra mags 14.3gr is deadly as ever.
24 yards.

The first hosp I seen today, Zeus chased into the bushes, when he slammed into the them, one of the branches poked the birds eye out. It fell freaking,  zeus chomped it a couple times, then sat proudly by, what was left of it. Sorry no pic, didn't think of it.

Thought I would share.

That is a tiny target and a difficult shot at 24yds. Nice job on that rodent.

Thanks guys!
I know its only mice, but they do present quite the challenge to hit.
Never realized how many critters the dogs would keep away. They killed the opossums, before I had my full power airguns.
I killed one nutter in the yard and zeus has killed countless many.
They get the good stuff, I am left with the vermin.
Thanks Dogs.

Possum are hard to kill. I've done two at point blank range and don't even want to try at further. I think an axe is the ultimate hunting weapon for possum. You run up, scare it, it lays down and you chop it's head clean off. THEN your pretty sure its dead.
