Thinking about a high end PCP Airgun

[OkieStubble]

Nice Benji! What cal.?

It is a .25 caliber. And... is that what I think it is? Composite stock? Flabbergasted!

I see it now on the close up. I'll be needing a .25 cal in the future to!

@nortac
Hawke Vantage 4-12x50.
Marauder is .25 caliber. Yep. Composite. No fuss and about a pound lighter.

You sound like this other fellar I know!

An air rifle is one thing.
Composite stocks on REAL rifles and shotguns is yet another.

Lusting!

For certain wood furniture is always the preferred way to go on any rifle. I can make an exception in some cases though. This Benjamin .22 Discovery is without a doubt my favorite air rifle. I love the stock.
However....Its synthetic stocked cousin (Benjamin.22 Trail Nitro) is no slouch as a game getter either.

That Daystate sure is Purdy!

My question is: did you eat the squirrel?

That Daystate sure is Purdy!

Thanks, it's held up pretty well for being almost 15 years old. Still love it.

If memory serves, probably not. Wife isn’t a fan of Tree Rat

I hope you will post some pics when you take some Squirrel with that .25?

Very pretty!

Are you guys all using range cards? I posted this on another thread but I keep a laminated card stuck between the stock and the action so I can remember my holds at different range. Pretty handy:

This is from the Shooter app on Android. You enter all your info including scope height from centerline and all your bullet/pellet info and it calculates the drop chart. I have checked it and it's bang on. I'm using 21.1 grain Kodiak .22 pellets for this one.

Hawke has a similar program and will not only print out a chart as above, but also print a holdover/under chart for specific reticules that can be mounted to your flip up lense covers.

Nice. Another thing I need to buy...lol. That would be very handy.

No you don't, it's free. Download "Chairgun Pro" from the Hawke website.

I was thinking of the flip-up scope covers, lol. Would be nice to have that ballistic table right inside when they're flipped open. Need that chart for minute-of-chipmunk but it's kind of clumsy keeping it stuck in the stock.

“Range cards”? Never heard of them. You guys are working at a whole different level level than I.
We’re a tad more “rustic” up here in the mountains.
