Nice 'yote Doc...!!

Above is my GAMO Whisper chambered for the .177 ( 4.5mm ) pellet, which comes in multiple configurations...( see below ). The suppressor on the end of the barrel insures stealth when shooting at skiddish game. The scope was supplied and is a 3-9x40mm variable.

I keep my pest problem in check and my neighbors and I get meat for the stew pot with this versatile tool...plus I get plenty of trigger time to hone my shooting skills.

"One Shot...One Kill"
 
Awsome shooting guys. That .25 is a beast, nice yote.

I would like to get something new my Crossman 2200 and Daisy 880 are getting old and need new seals, etc.
 
Really look into the Benjamin Marauder...for the money its hard to beat. There are definitely more powerful but its so darn accurate and consistent.
 
Nice shooting!!

@DHonovich How many shoots do you get per charge before you have to pump it up again?

I definitely want one of those, I'm going to look up your other thread where you posted about the gun.
 
You can do about 32 shots but the first 8 are at high power and super accurate. You can get a different valve to make even more power and get about 16 shots at high power.
 
Here's just 2 of mine. Yeah, I'm a Hatsan nut. The one with the treerat is a break barrel .22 and the PCP is an AT44 repeater in .22

Both are Treerat killing machines.

I used to have a Striker 1000 .25 and could not figure out how to get it dialed in for the life of me.
Admitted defeat and sold it off.
 
l used to hunt with a pellet gun all the time when I was a kid. I think I sold my Blue Streak pellet rifle in 1980.

Now I don't shoot anything except Targets at the range, and the occasional stray possum.

But we've been seeing more and more feral Critters around and since you can't fire a real gun in town I bought myself a new pellet gun.

This is a Benjamin Regal Nitro piston in .177 cal. It's brand new but it's shop-worn with some minor scratches Nicks and rust, so I actually got it for about half retail list price.

It works great but I haven't tested it with the scope on yet. There's a brace of fat pigeons out at my place whose days are numbered. :sniper:

It's just a stock photo of the gun I'll take some nice close-up shots later.

I had a Sam Yang 45 cal. I used it for a few months and sold it. I wore my arms out pumpin the pressure up to 3000 psi. But it killed squirrels and coons.
