A Different kind of Long-gun

[Grouse]

I was shooting mine today at 10m into the long side of my crossbow broad head block.

The pellets went all the way through. The wife was not amused.

Dang, I kinda agree with ...y'all need to stop cause I don't need to go buying air guns now!

Only airguns I've ever had were Crosman airguns as a kid. Had the .177 pellet/bb rifle and the .22 pistols. Cool enough for plinking birds and such.

Watch the ted's hold over vids. these rifles are amazing.

They are also one of the few things you can hunt with in CA and still use lead ammo.

I know a lot of guys out your way use a pellet rifle to hunt quail.

Well, went over to Chuck's to reload and took the X2 with me. While I was there we gave it a half-azzed checkout due to the weather, it had just stopped snowing when we took it out back to fire it a few times. All Chuck had in the way of .177 pellets were some RWS 9.3 grain supermags(?) so, I loaded one up and aimed for a fencepost and fired. Recoil was very light but, it sounded like I just fired a .22LR! Chuck looked at me and went inside to get the Chrono. Set up the Chrono and five feet from the screens I fired three rounds; 1168fps, 1165fps, 1168fps! This was with heavier than standard pellets! The rifle is rated for 1000fps with standard match pellets,( 7.1 grain), this was great!

Only problem I have is with the scope. It's a BEEMAN 4x32 and it's blurry. No amount of adjustment on the ocular would correct it so, Ordered a BSA 3-9x40AO scope and mounts from Airgun Depot. Not really a big thing, I kinda figured it was a cheapy scope or it wouldn't have come with the rifle. Problem is, there are no open sights on it.

So, gotta wait til I get the scope for any accuracy tests but, I'm expecting good results. The fence post I shot at first was a good 55 yards away and I hit it with the one shot.

So, give me a week or two to get the scope/mounts in and mounted.
