I was using my Sentry 703-2 that I bought from HoosierDaddy a short while back and since I've modified it she's really shooting my 19.6 grain NOE hunters really nice at up to the mid 900's. I have the power adjuster set right in the middle for a good long string with it getting 32 very usable shots from 3K down to 2K.

It is hard to believe that there is many of those chippers around, as many as you have X'd out............
Question, How many snakes do you find in your travels?
Seems like with that many critters around, so would the snakes be there,
as they (chippers) are the main food for them.
What do you have in your part of the world, (snakes), Bell Worms and Copperheads?
Thanks,
Don

Snakes are small and of rarer occurrence up here in the great white north, and chippers and reds have their natural enemies reduced or or non existent, so it is up to us airgunners to do our part when the need arises.
Yet we wish for an Iguana population explosion during summer months

Thanks for the great replies everyone !!! Don we only have one type of poisonous snakes (supposedly) here in Michigan, I have only seen a couple of snakes this year, I'm sure if I was closer to the swamps more I'd see a lot of water snakes though. Hawks snatch up the chipper's and reds on a regular basis and it's a lot of fun watching them do it.

Hi Wayne.
Gee Whiz..I must have miss this post the other day, when you first posted it.
Very good shooting and Great Retrieve on that Chipper !
Them little buggers can be really hard to find.
That one... would have to fall... right into the Poison Ivy too.
Excellent Video !
Wow..how many of those Xisco Sentry's do you have now ?
I can't keep track of all of your PCP rifles and of your pistols.
I think you have a Sheridan Blue Streak too...right.
Best Wishes - Tom

Thanks Tom !!! I've got two of the 702's and two 705's and all four are really different with all the changes they've done to them since they came out. This one is the most recent version I bought from Scott(HoosierDaddy) he gave me a deal I couldn't refuse and if I ever sell this one it's going back to him ( he's got first dibbs on it
). I enjoy tinkering with them to make them the way I like them. This one is exceeding my expectations for being an early one (hard to find) it is like new condition yet and like the others it's a heck of a shooter. I'll never sell the Buestreak, I bought that gun new in 1977 and yeah I'm very addicted to the pcp's these days.

Thanks update on your Xisco Sentry rifles Wayne.
If I ever get a PCP...It is going to be a Sentry from Mike at Flying Dragon Airguns.
I'd get one of his hand pumps and one of his really nice scopes too. ( The Rex 3x12x40 SFB or the 3x9x40 AO )
I also think I would have him go thru and tune the rifle, as I don't know anything at all about PCP's.
I would also drive down to pick it up and set a spell with him some.
It would be about a days drive south for me, to get to his place.
I would call and let him know that I was coming to get it.
Best Wishes - Tom
