I thought I’d start taking my other guns out after the new smell wore off but damn if I don’t grab my mutant every time. Some say the stock is ugly but I like it. Shoots good offhand and is well suited to bench rest as well. Got bored at the range last time and started…Read more

I have noticed the whack seems louder on birds on the slower pellet. On aside note, my .22 ultra is set to 720 fps with the 16 grn pellets and doing a fine job. Something to be said for slow and heavy.
