Little time today (on the road) but after getting home tonight I tightened up the play in the linkage on the Crosman 66 and I had time to finish zeroing the scope.

Finally got a shot at a tree rat. DRT @25 yards. Hit was at the base of the skull. Severed spinal cord and brain stem.

Sorry, no pics.

Debating whether or not to buy this magazine for my 2240, id need extra work done on my steel breech to allow use with an extended hollow probe and i certainly dont have the tools for that job.

Swap in a standard probe or send it out for machining.

I did some pistol shooting... Ran a co2 cartridge through my SNR357, Glock 19 and Beretta Px4. I was surprised by the accuracy of the Px4, that was a $20 WallyWorld special and it does pretty decent with 7.33 gr JSB's!

Got the Crosman Fire boxed up, shipping label attached and paid for to send to another GTA member.

Drop off point is closed today... will send Friday if all goes as planned.

I'm glad you're happy with your PX4, I think I must have gotten a bad one. I was wanting to shoot spoons at 10 yards but my PX4 was grouping way high and to the right 2 or 3 inches. Best I could get was a 3" group.
My S&W M&P 40 is dead on with POA at 10 yards and hitting spoons at 8 yards every shot. Yesterday I was able to hit 3" groups at 20 yards with it. And I don't have to wait a minute between shots like I had to with my PX4.

Did a bluing touch up on the pump tube of my Crosman 66.

What do you use? I've used Birchwood Casey's TruBlu before but it can't be used as a touch up I don't think.

I've come to terms that my heavy .25 Bullboss is really a bench gun. It's just too heavy to lug around for very long, even with the super light, cheapo 9x scope, I got as a combo when I bought the Umarex Surge XT break barrel. The glass is terrible, but it got the job done.
Anyways, I have a 4-16x Center Point, that came as a combo with my Benji Armada, laying around, so I figure this would be a good scope for the 60yd range shooting with the Bullboss. At least I'll be able to see the target much better.
The stock rings sits a bit high, so I placed an order for a couple of different profile rings off Amazon just now. Free returns if they don't work out, but since they're on sale at $10 a set, I'll most likely keep them regardless.
After the install, I'd set up the shooting table under the deck and took aim at a large Halloween leftover pumpkin on the 30yd mark. First shot landed about 2" low, just about center. Sweet! All I needed was to raise the elevation.

I have a bottle of Birchwood Casey Super Blue.
Wiped it down with a rag.
Wiped it down again with alcohol and a paper towel.
Dipped a q tip in the Super blue and applied.
Lightly ran some jewelers steel wool over it,and wiped down with some oil.

This was just covering the marks where the pump scuffs up the pump tube.
Worked fine for me.

Just now another project..swapped a different scope onto the 2240 carbine. Tasco 3-9x40

Dinh,
The center-line of that scope to the center-line of the barrel looks to be a full 4".
What range do you have it zero'ed at?

I think you could get away with some low rings.

Haven't been able to practice for a few days as I realized workers at my neighbor's home shouted every time I sent a pellet, saying unpleasant things. So today I went to the other side of my garden and checked some of my guns' consistency with the help of my cheapo chinese chronometer.
Crosman Vantage NP, using 8.64 pellets (Stoeger X-Field) : 866,14 ; 872,70 ; 869,42 ; 866,14 ; 869,42 ; 869,42 ; 866,14 (FPS). Once warm, acceptable but I dare not show you what the target looked like. Within years, I might learn how to shoot springers...

Crosman PC1377 using RWS Club (7 gr), 8 pumps : 531,50 ; 538,06 ; 538,06. I stopped as I know it wouldn't move anymore.
Beeman p17 using the same pellets : 374,02 ; 377,30 ; 377,30 ; 380,58. The last shot was delivered after I cleaned then lubed the compression tube and piston, so nothing to worry about, but I still wonder how to get 400fps without achieving major mods on this guns. I don't really mind as it's still incredibly accurate.

Just finished setting up a target for zeroing a couple guns.
Added a wind flag as they say winds are around 9 MPH with gusts to 11 MPH
But out back I have near zero movement on the flag.

Started designing a single shot tray for the .50 Evanix Sniper.
Nick's bullets are just a tad long for the magazine so need a tray to do testing.

760 Pumpmaster out the door of the four season room at the plinking range 10 yards away. That little gun is so accurate with wadcutters.
