I've got my eye on a Shoebox Freedom 8 + Guppy but first things first...I'm investing $5k into full blown production equipment for my slugs.I want them available as a stocked shelf item at your favorite places to buy pellets!

All I do is hunt - mainly Ground Squirrels & Fox Squirrels but also Raccoon, Skunk, Coyote, etc...I've gone through all of the calibers - .177, .22, .25 & .357I have settled on my .25 Challenger Double Tube (80 ft lbs) and my 2540 Carbine (30 ft lbs) for my 'go to' hunting tools.The .25 Challenger is for shooting my slugs and the 2540 Carbine is for JSB Kings.My Challenger is heavy at around 10 pounds - my 2540 Carbine sits at 6 lbs but I carry it on a single point sling.The on game performance of a 25 simply cannot be beat - it is a certified hammer! Almost everything I've ever shot is DRT.My Recluses are just too big for anything smaller than coyotes.Get the .25 cal in whatever floats your boat - the weight range of available ammo covers a very large array of game to hunt.I've always been a single shot guy - even if my first hit is slightly off mark there's been plenty of time to reload and give a coup de gras.If you miss altogether on your first shot you need to spend more time punching paper and reading the wind and distances.My one issue with single shots are paper punching actually. I love just shooting shot after shot not thinking about anything but shooting...although I usually wet away more pellets with a mag so...single shot it is! AirForce now which one...Condor SS or Escape SS

AirForce now which one...Condor SS or Escape SSCondor SS---Escape is basically a scaled down Condor with a Talon P bottle. For better shot count---Condor. Heck, better off getting a Talon P instead of an Escape. Or do what I want to do and get a Talon frame with the High Flow valve, then you have basically an Escape. At R&L it will be 587.50 for a Talon with the spin lock tank and High flow valve with a striker weight. 609.25 for the Talon SS with the spin lock and high flow valve, no striker weight. For the Escape UL, SS, and regular Escape---579.50-617.50-627.00---with the Talon P bottle. The Escape looks nice and is powerful, but again it's just a Talon with the Talon P bottle running the high flow valve. It weighs 4.25lbs while the Talon is 5.5lbs. Just my Lincolns x 2.
