Ill throw one out there you cant get any more the old model Gamo extreme 1250 when they were made of wood and not plastic, and had a decent trigger that could be upgraded, they were hammers and very accurate. The old version is a different airgun than what they have now. David

I came across some 14.3grn crossman hollow point pellets and I’m not sure if my gun really dislikes the rws pellets or just really likes the crossmans. maybe I’m just getting used to the gun but whatever is going on I’m happy. My 50 yard groups have improved significantly! I am really enjoying this gun. $.014 per shot is pretty hard to beat for this much fun. I’m definitely addicted 😂

Ahhhhhh. Interesting idea to lube the pellets with lip balm.
Need to test it sometime

ROFL!

Good shooting, keep up the good work!

50 yards is hard for me period, let alone using a mag springer. That is good shooting.

That is nice shooting with a big springer at 50 yards.
The 350 is a great long distance gun. A buddy of mine hung some softballs in the trees well past 100 yards and the 350 would give them a shiver.

My vote is for the Diana D460 .177 this is the second adult AG that I had purchased from Pyramyd Air ~ 7 years ago with the T06 trigger. It is a powerful and accurate springer. I have owned and sold several other "Magnum" springers over the past several years and this is my favorite springer of all that I presently own second is my Gamo Swarm .22 it is just plain old fun to shoot and descent accuracy as well.

Hey why limit it to $500???

How about what is the best magnum springer over $500? Commercially available.

Anyway, my vote goes to the Hatsan 135. Some have over sized barrels, but if you get a good one.

Plus, it is really the only magnum that can UMPH the .25 pellets downrange.

For .25 and larger I prefer PCP rifles for the improved ballistics and greater muzzle energy. To my thinking .177 and .22 perform very well out of a springer and the .25 gets just a tad too loopy for my style of shooting.
As others have said shoot whatever puts the biggest grin on your face when you pick it up to shoot

That's a great choice. I prefer the 125, and it is near equal to the 135.

The ones with the oversize bore might even through the 35 grain eunjin domes halfway decent. I had a walther talon mag that could shoot them decent after I put a fresh piston seal and shimmed the breech seal it pushed 34 fpe with them.

I have one of those Hatsan .30 cannons. It's slow but packs a punch and is pretty accurate. 10¢ a shot adds up though.

Thanks guys! It’s crazy but not one single other gun has left my safe since I got this 350. I didn’t realize how much I hate wearing ear plugs until I got the choice! The woods are so much more enjoyable without wearing muffs all the time 😂. What’s everyone shoot for reactive targets? Besides squirrels of course lol, my girlfriend refuses to eat tree rats so that means I have to cook 😳. I have ar500 steel targets for the bigger booms but they barely make a noise when I shoot them with the 350.

Sfttailrdr46 · « **Reply #132 on:** January 16, 2020, 10:32:44 PM »

Paint balls set on golf tees work well also a couple dozen eggs also make good reactive targets

066logger · « **Reply #133 on:** January 16, 2020, 10:48:09 PM »

Oh that’s a great idea!! I have a couple cases from back in the day that are long past being shot out of a paintball gun. I was wondering what to do with them. Thank you! I’ll definitely have to try that out!

It doesn't sound crazy to me- I haven't pulled a powderburner out of the safe in years, but I shoot airguns at least several times per week.
Fun, reactive targets include plastic golf balls (NEVER SHOOT REAL GOLF BALLS - DANGEROUS RICOCHETS,) chunks of sidewalk chalk, small fruits, dollar store toys...
Enjoy!

How about empty spray can nozzles at 35 yds? Set up a few and try shooting the spray nozzle off the can with out hitting the can. Also a good way to evacuate the propellant before recycling the can.

Of course I don't have a video of this but last summer I was out shooting my D34 .177, it was getting dark and my neighbor came out and challenged me to shoot the flame off a candle. I was shooting at 30 yds. Was feeling good that day so I went in and found a 10 " tall 3" x 3" candle and set it up.
one shot and it was out. Just below the top of the wick.
I haven't tried it again since. why ruin my perfect record?

I did have a witness and shooting the flame off a candle is pretty cool.

When you run out of paint-balls to put on your golf T's...

1) these are cheaper
2) they are Bio-degradable
3) you can snack while you shoot.
4) they may attract other "targets"
