Pumping, well that's another matter. Still prefer PCP's.Me too. Same. HOSP at 50 yards, ease the back door open, slow, slow, they are wary. Bring the Marauder Super Light up, compensate a little for wind and 30 yard zero, ease the safety off and on the trigger so smooth, into a zen state, almost close my eyes, I see the bullet I see everything in that moment, the universe comes into focus, na, na, nah, naaaa, pfffftttt-oing. A cloud of feathers results . No jar, no slap in the face, no reverse recoil, in fact no recoil and scope still in once piece and happy bluebirds clapping their wings in joy. That is the perfection of the PCP, NICE .Bluebird Lives Matter too: I have it on authority that 9 out 10 bluebirds prefer the protection of a PCP equipped backyard sniper over a Springer guy. Got two pairs this year thus far trying to nest if I can keep the HOSP off them.

It’s amazing I’ve never seen a HOSP in my back yard. I have a bird feeder and enjoy watching the Black Eyed Juncos, Blue Jays, Finches, couple squirrels, morning doves they all get along. If I were invaded by HOSPs I must protect my visitors with my PCPs

I have a bird feeder and enjoy watching the Black Eyed Juncos, Blue Jays, Finches, couple squirrels, morning doves they all get along. If I were invaded by HOSPs I must protect my visitors with my PCPsI have a lot of beautiful birds, tons of house finches, various native sparrows and cardinals, downys, juncos, jays. They all take turns. The squirrel got eaten by a hawk . Of course blue birds are mostly insect eaters so unless I put out worms they do not attend the feeders. HOSP, you are either very lucky or you do not know how to ID them?? They can be difficult, especially the females. If I cannot 100% identify I do not pull the trigger. I get HOSP and they scratch out the seeds, pester the other birds and try relentlessly to usurp the blue birds from their nests. I get starlings but mostly in the winter, HOSPs year around. I prefer my Urban for HOSP but I am using my MSL at the moment because I had the Urban down for minor maintenance and drilling the port and need to re-zero the scope. Just seems I can thread that accurate .22 Urban through the branches better than my MSL. But out past 30 yards, it is MSL all the way.
