MRodAir Air Max Varmint in .177

[A.K.A. Tommy Boy]

Be sure to get the extra 2 mags... You'll get three good mags from a fill. And best of all.... mine shoots the $6.50 a tin of 500 Crosman Hollow Points from Walmart REALLY well. But if you want a bit more SMACK !! I was killin paintballs at 35 yds with the 10.5 Crosman domes Thursday night.

Cool. I'm eyeing the .177 carbine that TrophyHunter has listed in the classifieds too. I got my first airgun like a few weeks ago and I'm already looking at PCP's. HELP!

You either got to jump in with Both Feet or Run Away...it's too late to quit and there ain't no cure for your disease now....only the occasionally shot-in-the arm Fix.         Happy Landing !     -     Tom

Nice looking "single shot" lego gun there.... just about the same price as the Varmint and 3 mags..... delivered.

Looks nice for sure. I think I'm really partial to a repeater though. Most of my shooting is smacking sparrows and getting doubles and triples is not a rare occurrence.

Well then.... there you have it.... bounce on over to MRodAir, push "play" and you'll have one on about a week.... oh BTW.... don't expect tracking... just wait for the Big Brown truck to show up...    .... NEXT !!!

But that freaking wire stock carbine! It would be so light for rabbit stalking on the farm! I'm flip flopping so bad right now!

I have had both Varmints and quite a few Lego carbines. I sold ALL my Lego guns to buy SPAs, instead..

These are super-light, almost perfect really. I loved my Legos, but they were TOO light for offhand shooting, you know, like the kind you do while rabbit hunting? Yeah, the Varmint was built to hunt, the Lego guns CAN hunt, but they shine in the yard, not the field...

Next!

Interesting. Thank you for the advice!

Haha, lol. How much does the Varmint weigh? On my rabbit hunts I tend to hike 5-10 miles.

[avator]

I think mine scoped with the UTG and a sling is 7 pounds or less.

&^^&. Ugh, I'm going to be addicted aren't I?

[avator]

YUUUPPP !!!
We have a patch of bamboo cane pole here and the boys from down the road just showed up to cut some for river fishing tonight. I stepped out on the deck to authorize the harvest. Betty Lou's Plinkster happened to be laying there. I picked it up and popped a folgers coffee can hanging from a tree at 55 yds out. Standing off hand. Lovin these guns.

[Ribbonstone]

Leaving mine just the way it is; am pleased with it.

Convert one to HPA bottle, wire stock, or whatever...might make it unique...but not really "better".

[avator]

I hear ya Ribbs. I wouldn't have tinkered the Plinkster but it just seemed a bit low on power through the cart on Thursday evening. To it's credit, she was shooting it next to the Varmint slinging the 10.5s. She was shooting 7.9 HPs. Sure is a noticeable difference in 3k hpa vs. C02. That factory muzzle can does a good job with the Plinkster.

What's covers more .177 bases than one fast (+20 foot pounds) and one slow (about 8.5 foot pounds)?

Hmm, well, how about one .177 Varmint regged to 8 fpe, and one highly tunable .177 M30?

These lil' buggers are so very well-thought out, every SPA I get makes me think about who it was that designed it. They are very versatile guns, all of them. I am rarely so psyched up about a new product line in the sporting goods category, but I am blown away by the forethought in these designs. It is as if SPA was actually listening to what it is that airgunners want in a PCP or co2 gun, and then designed them from the ground up.

I don't do much .177 pre-charge stuff, but I will with my SPA .177s, for sure!

[avator]

And so you should.. my little SPA Varmint in .177 is a little jackhammer.

[Ribbonstone]

Ok...or for higher power fans, a .177 at 20 foot pounds and a (much larger) .22 at 50 foot pounds?

[.]

It's not easy to buy just one, is it? 

I won't be satisfied until I have all 3 the co2 guns as well as the Varmints in both calibers, and a .25 Dominator, and a .177 M30. Oh, yeah, and a .22 LR700W...

From there, I oughta be set for a spell, I reckon, lol..

Has anyone done a side by side comparison of a Plinkster vs Varmint Valve?  I'm curious if there is much or any difference I'm very tempted to get a plinkster but I need one like I need a hole in the head, I'm thinking it would make a nice option to have one for even doing some tinkering and experimenting with.
