I kept on putting it off and off. And never ended up buying one.

I read the last series of posts on the matter to Betty Lou and she asked me how much the gun was... I guess $249 was the wrong answer. She very quickly came up with 5 options for the use of $249, none of which were airgun related.

Uh, just to be on the safe side, you might want to fix you and her first and anything that is not air related, after that go for it.  All my air related stuff is on hold, truck, tractor, and temple(house) need to be addressed first. Yeah it's the pits but that is the way the wind(hurricane) blows.

I started a new "what my next airgun should be" spreadsheet... about 1/2 way through (not even really looking too hard at specific makes/models) and based on my current needs, a higher-end .22 makes more practical sense than an equivalent .25 since my absolute longest shots for the next 2 or 3 years are going to max out about 70 yards.

The thing that really surprises me is the FX Dreamline Lite made the list- Krale can deliver the goods without breaking the bank.

I shot a black squirrel on the state land this morning

I tuned my .22 BullBoss to 50.66 FPE using the JSB Heavy 25.39 grain pellets!  It's really packing a wallop now!

Awesome!  Take it on up with the MKIIs next pending needs/wants.

Tested a MagnetoSpeed Sporter Chrony. Guess what?  does not work with air rifles or air pistols. Bought from Amazon had to return it. Does not clearly state anything about air rifles on the Amazon site. Called Magnetospeed since they are local. Apparently V3 does work with air pellets! only a $200 increase on the sporter. Aaaaargh.

I had the Sporter and was able to get it to work by placing 2 small powerful magnets on top of the 2 magnets in the bayonet. It worked for all pellets except the .177 which I think are too small.  MagnetoSpeed has an upgrade promotion last summer and I trad d up to the V3 and can attest that it works with all my air guns now, regardless of caliber.

Learned a lesson in never rule out anything today!

The last couple of days my Aspen started being really erratic. Lucky to get inside 2" at 30 yards. I would get 5 or 6 good shots then a flyer 3 inches out. Shot at one bull and it was high and left, adjusted the scope, next target, high and right, then low and left, rinse and repeat, really kind of random, just could not nail down 'center'.

Spent two days doing 'everything' cleaned the barrel, dressed the crown and lead, placed a shim in the barrel band, made sure the barrel was secure, checked all the screws, tried different hammer spring settings. Still spraying random. I did better with the springers, by a good bit

I was "Sure" the gun had an issue, even thought about lopping off 1/4" of the barrel and redressing it.

But... in a fit of desperation I dragged out some cheap 4x scope that came with another gun and swapped it out from the 4-16 x 65 UTG.

Now all of a sudden I am back to shooting tight 1" groups!

Yup shooting better with a $60.00 dollar scope than a $200.00 dollar scope. I just could not bring myself to even consider this nice expensive scope just might be the problem!

Logged in to GTA and checked new replies to my posts, hehehe.

Other than that, only airgun things I have done in several weeks is shoot my burn barrels when I am home.

If the boy would do better in school I'd let him use the 34 at his discretion while I am away.

Much to my chagrin, the boy has not yet earned that priviledge.

I think back in the day when our parents were young, they must have all read the same Parenting book, because I heard the same things growing up!  And, I have caught myself saying the same thing to my kids when they were growing up!  LOL!

My grandparents were all born in the late 1880's and there were no parenting books back then just  some basic simple rules
1 - Children should be seen not heard
2 - Sit down and don't sass your mother
3 - Don't take more food than you can finish
4 - Don't you dare be late for dinner or you will go to bed hungry
5 - Don't make me tell your father what you have been up to

LOL!  Yep, same list!  But 3 was more like:  Clean your plate, there are children starving in China!  I never understood how me eating everything on my plate helped some starving kid in China!

dad would say "clean your plate or you'll have it for breakfast".
