Using hollow point, the subsonic feeds and ejects great so far, but it's a new gun. Time will tell, I guess. Backstop is the foundation of an empty house, I'm shooting at a downward angle of almost 20 degrees. I am confident I can put one in his head. I have a straight shot at his exit hole, I'm using a tripod and I can see him as soon as he pokes his head out. I want the skin, Merc's snake pics inspired me, so it won't help me if he goes underground. Can I go for pearl and a half since I also bought a $30 Bushnell scope at Walmart?

Yes, Locked and in a locked, secret location. AND no one knows it's even in the house so they won't go searching for it to satisfy their curiosity. The lock that the gun ships with locks the trigger, bolt, and safety. It looks like a metal straight jacket.

I am super delighted with my new rifle. I forgot how much I like to shoot.

I am mildly amused by how much of the Garden thread is about guns. You crazy merkins...

footfootfoot · 05-20-2011, 08:50 PM

I'm not sure what to make of that, coming from a 'Stralian and all.

Ned, what's his name?

busterb · 05-20-2011, 09:28 PM

No garden this year. Back problems. Guess the flappin deer will go hungry.

ZenGum · 05-20-2011, 09:29 PM

Reminds me of a Merkin chap I met in Japan. His parents grew cucumbers in the garden. He hated cucumbers. He could see the little buggers growing from his bedroom window. He had an air rifle. Problem solved.

Patricide isn't funny. Ned Kelly. That's the chap.

Very nice, zip! Sure makes me wish we had a growing season longer than 2 months.

Sundae · 05-25-2011, 03:34 PM

I have horrible strawberry envy.

I was pleased with my lickle plants.
Then I looked over at my neighbours'.

Not deliberately - Diz-the-coward when it comes to cats with balls is also Diz-the-bully when it comes to cats without. He was in their garden trying to menace Skipper - the most laid back cat in the world.

Now my plants are sproutlings, or whatever you call first year plants.
Her plants have a couple of years under their belts.
But they are HUGE! Leaves like you'd see in a rainforest!
Green fruit already, and as big as my tongue!

Here's hoping mine grow that way before I tire of them
