Seriously? ‘snypercat’ is your mom? Does she have a bf?

Dunno, I think if you were from the UK you would have said: “That’s me mum”!
(Hey, I watch “Misfits”, so I know.) LOL

Yes, the cold can get to you but I don’t go in the dead of winter.

I find the quieter I am then the more rats I see. They will hide longer the more of a disturbance you make. I started out shooting a 15 fpe springer that has a “moderate” report when fired, but it sure sounded loud in the darkness when fired. I…Read more

Like you mine are up close and in barns, often in complete darkness.

I started with a 15 fpe rifle but every shot was a pass-thru that ricocheted loudly off whatever was in the background. In my case this was farm equipment and cows. I don’t know that I ever hit a cow but I quickly decided that had to change.…Read more

The AirForce guns are accurate and reliable. The Talon is middle ground, the…Read more

I’m still working on those mil-dots. I have noticed that some reticles do have the mill dots on both sides of the center. Couldn’t this also be sighted-in if the pellet went higher?

Problem: some of the better scopes, like Hawke, have too-far minimum parallax…Read more

I have a 25 M-Rod, and two Talon SS’. One of the Talons I switch between 177, 22, and 25, the other stays 22 so far, as it has an 18 inch barrel. A Talon SS in 177 tuned down to the 12 Ft.Lb. range with a laser for close up shooting would work, reloads will be slightly slower…Read more

I had gone from Talon SS in favor of the M-rod, but now I’m back with Condor SS. Just finalizing my wish to get a Condor SS. What do you folks get with the “AAA” Condor SS that is not in the Regular Condor SS. I thought the Condor SS from AF had all the latest stuff:
1. New trigger and new safety
