Faulty valve in the Hatsan – won’t take the full force of the 4500 psi tank on filling, but is fine with the scuba tank.

Missing Oring seal in the Talon adapter. 😳 😳 😳

I went back to my 12″ .22 caliber barrel for snowshoe hares for the pot – the .25 just did too much damage on body shots for edible game.

I try to keep my shots inside 40 yards (shotgun range) because I find that a sensible range for a sure kill – I live in Prince George, and the bush is so thick in bunny terrain…Read more

I prefer the .22 to the .25 (I have both) for edible game. With the same pellets (Predators) the .22 destroys less meat.

I have a modded .22 Talon with a 12″ barrel that is now my go to hunting gun for small game. At the ranges I take edible game (40 yards or less, shotgun range) it kills as reliably as…Read more

Molto, it seems we have hijacked your thread. Sorry. Whichever gun/pellet/distance you choose, that works for you, sounds like a winner to me. I don’t consider it heresy at all. I consider it a wise and prudent choice. Good for you!

Dirty Harry is quite right! 😆

I’m capable of holding 1/4″ groups at 100 yards with my .222 benchrest gun any given day, and the same sized groups with my Talon at 25 yards seated, but field conditions are not ideal, and that’s what I’m actually talking about. I’ve never been too fond of…Read more

I mostly posted as a hint to guys that are considering a .25 caliber barrel for hunting. Yes, but for edible game I don’t think it’s an advantage.

As I’ve said before, though, in my neck of the woods, and with snowshoe hares, anchoring quickly is important. They are tougher than…Read more

I’m a hunter. My Talon, the way it’s set up, weighs less than 7 pounds with scope and mounts. I don’t care how much or how prestigeous a gun can be. I’m simply not going to carry an air rifle that weighs more than my .300 Weatherby in…Read more

I’m still totally confused as to what the hell the 17 cal “hi-flo” tank is… AirForce has such a comprehensive website I guess I should check there… 🙄

I’m a hunter, and came to the airgun world because two years ago I had a stroke and lost my right eye. I was not about to give up hunting, so I practiced left-handed/left-eyed with my old Diana 50 until I could shoot as well portside as righthanded, and got hooked on air.…Read more
