So.....what did you shoot today?

[T3PRanch]

FX Impact X-700 .25 I traded for got here this Morning and has two grackles down so far after mounting an F1 MTC Scope on it.

[Wayne52]

I did five five shot groups with my favorite Crosman 150 today.  In door shooting today, it's saturated outside today.

FWB300S.

Did some blackberry removal along a fence line and tilled the garden so that took the majority of the day.  Now it’s time to get ready to grill some burgers for dinner.

  Shot the Crown .25 did I mention this rifle makes me look like some kind of expert shot 

I really need to get the .22 barrel so I don't feel like I am spending too much on pellets the .25 get pricey when you blow through an entire tin in one sitting

I have to agree!  My Dream makes me look like I know what I'm doing, which makes me want to keep doing it, which is quickly depleting my supply of .25 pellets!   

FX need to get the .22 barrel kits to the vendors so I can buy one before I run out!

Had to burn a 1/2 vacation day yesterday. Got the tags on the Nitro, new brake pads on all four corners and the mower was repaired. (belt, blades and oil change). Dropped nearly $500.
Oh and Don, It's supposed to top 90* today for the first time this year.

Yep, it will a warm one today, waiting on parts for the fronts brakes and put those on today, $460 for pads and rotors, i'm the labor so that saved me another $400. Trying gets the repair stuff done to free up the weekend for the air guns.

I shot the Silver Streak for a while this morning...I Like This Gun...Such a Sweet Shooter !

It is 37 F today at my place.      We are supposed to get snow & rain all afternoon and tonight. I'm not expecting much in the way of snow accumulation out of it.   All the snow piles have finally melted off.   Spring is here.  ( I hope  )  I replaced the rotors and break pads on my Dodge 3/4 ton truck this week.  The parts were around $ 500 along with a oil filter and oil. The labor was me.  I have a caliper that is hanging up and I'll be looking into that this week.  I have some body work to do on the pick-up.....the road salt is starting to rust a rear wheel well.    I'll cut or grind out the rusty areas, repaint with a rust killer and add plastic wheel well flairs.  That should do it for a 2005 pick-up and last me another 15 years.  There is 55,000 miles on the odometer and the oil gets changed every 3,500 miles with the best oil and filters that I can find.

I had one caliper dragging, the bolt slide was a little dry, lubed it and working fine. The brakes that I am replacing have 225,000 miles on them, they are the original factory brakes. I drive a 5 speed.

Gee Kris.....I'll have to check the bolt slides..thank's for the reminder.   

The Dodge is a 2005 4x4 Power Wagon.  It has a 4:56 Ratio gear set in the differentials.   It goes past everything but a gas station....about 10MPG.      I use it for pulling & hauling type truck stuff and days when the snow is DEEP. 
I drive my 2004 Honda for running around.     It is WAY easier on gas.

Your welcome Tom, I have 2003 Dakota 4x4 with the tow package and 3.55 with limited slip differential. 15mpg is max but I don't have to worry about towing anything either.

Pellet orders have arrived, cleaning up targets, waiting on monster's gun case.

Does anywhere or anyone actually make a Gun Case..That Big ?    .     

Is your Dakota pick-up bed Long enough to haul it ?    

My Old Dodge Pick-up has a front mounted wench, selectable on/off differential lockers front and back, a disconnecting sway bar in the front and it tows 12,000 lbs.      It will carry ALL my air guns in total, out into the woods hunting ...easy.

I am going to be shooting the "new-to-me"  25 Cal Hatsan 125 rifle, a little later on to day. 
Then I think I'll shoot the 22 Cal. Benjamin Trail NP XL.
I want to get a side by side comparison of the two rifles.

Yes, Plano makes the  Protector series double gun case. Dimensions: 15'' H x 51.5'' W x 4'' D. Designed to hold 2 guns but works just as well for the large air guns. I have one for the 909 with scope.

I have the standard cab and short bed.

Got a squirrel in the yard with my 22 marauder. I have a 1987 f-150 flareside shortbed, straight 6 granny low. I'll come pull your Dodges out for you fellows lol.

Good Shooting with your 22 Marauder ...Chris !         

I used to have a 1983 Ford F-250 4X4 with a 300 straight six and a granny low first gear, limited slip rear differential and camper package. 
Good pick-up.    I cut and hauled a lot of wood in that pick-up.  It was real good in deep snow too.  I had the narrow Cenex Farmer tires on it.

Its a beast. Been kind of a money pit but were on the tail end of that. Got a tie rod needs fixed and some leveling spacers for the front end still and would like to put a set of Dick Cepek 33x10.5's on it. Has the heavy duty springs on the rear. Wife loves it and loves working on it. She's been carrying the torch the last couple years I just wanted to torch it lol. The marauder is no slouch either! Thanks Tom.

[fwbsport]

All of them except the HW 57, 97, and Walthers.

I was missing my field targets today with all of them (including the FWB Sport) and in a fit of anger and resolve I took out my HW 80 and settled those iron targets!

The HW80!  Simple.  Elegant. Reliable. Powerful. Accurate. Right handed lovely light Beech configured stock.....

It's serving the Nikon Monarch perfectly today while the others are not having dessert after dinner.....

[bear air]

That's how I like to do it too! Gotta end on a successful note. I cleaned the armada barrel and stepped out back and shot a mag off hand at a spinner target at 30 yards or so. Hit 5 or 6 out of 8 so not too bad. This thing really makes them spin!

[Back_Roads]

 I shot an aerosol can with my Benjamin Genesis .22, I shot it twice to make sure the gun was still on target.
 Now back to our 4x4 truck talk  95 1500 285 thousand on it so far, saved enough to buy a new truck buy doing my own repairs, but I don't need a new truck just yet, it still has some rust left to hold it together.
