I'm Drawn To The Dark-Side...

[jettaglikop]

So I've been bit by the airgunning bug and I've had some great fun with my Stoeger springer.

Now I wanna get into a more powerful rifle and PCP looks like the way to go.

Below is what is in my cart at Pyramyd-Air...

Lemme know if this PCP newbie is missing anything or if something isn't compatible or any suggestions.

I'm looking to take advantage of a 10% coupon that expires on 3/5...

This AG will be used for game ranging from Squirrel to Crow to Woodchuck to Opossum to Racoons to Fox... Maybe even a Coyote.

Gonna do some plinking in the backyard too. Hopefully a TKO can quiet it down enough not to have to wear ear protection all the time.

I've posted a bit about this in the hunting gate... Bullitt says the one piece scope rings might not be compatible?

Any and all help is much appreciated!!!

Those Hatsans are supposed to be really good and plenty powerfull

I would ad to your pellet choice the H&N Baracuda 31gr and the Benjamin Domed 27.8gr

Contact Neil Clauge, he makes the best LDCs for the real mean/loud guns

Thanks Pirate!

I shot him an email, we will see what options he has for an LDC.

Anybody have any experience with the H&N Baracuda 31gr and the Benjamin Domed 27.8gr being shot through the BT65 SB?

I've heard some some pellets are too long and don't fit the Hatsan's mag correctly...

Well, my order is placed, with a few changes made to the scope mount, bi-pod and pellets...
