      This is a good friend of mines company. I don't have one yet, but as I shoot more I will get one for .22 and .177.

I bought the .177 because I liked the idea of a pellet shooting as fast as a .22 and the crack it would make by going over sound barrier with light pellets. However, the .177 wasn't good for more than squirrels in my opinion. Shot two raccoons at my feeder (one multiple times) that I was not able to recover with the .177.


        I shot at a rabbit four times once with my 177. Couldn’t believe I was missing and he wasn’t running off. Last shot to the head tumbled him. Skinned him to find the other three holes were pass throughs in the chest cavity. I guess they fly through so fast with such little damage if you don’t hit a vital...Would love to trade it for a 22.

            How accurate is it? I opted for a PCP because my experience even with expensive RWS breakbarrels was that accuracy to 40-50 yards was not sufficient to kill squirrels consistently. Can you shoot dimes at 30 yards?

            Regarding hunting, I am leaving Sunday to go hunt and I plant to take a pic with my .25 Marauder PCP.

              Don't even try, no matter how many squirrels you kill they just keep coming back.

                  Just finished shooting one this morning. I bought it for the kids. Really like the Gamo models.

                    I bought the Whisper Quiet model a couple years ago after staring at them every time I went to Walmart. It is anything but quiet but it does pack a good little punch. It will kill coons if you hit them right as well as squirrels and whatever else is in that size range. Tried to kill a piglet with it but didn't do the job. It's a fun little shooter and way better than a bb gun. The scope that comes with it doesn't stay true however so mine has to be adjusted from time to time.

                      I know mine is way louder with the pba pellets. My rifle seems to like the hollow point pellets in the 500 count can accuracy wise and those made it pretty darn quiet .

                        I have the same rifle. It’s awesome!

                            So I was shooting these on Saturday from a lead sled to sight it in and was not getting consistent grouping at all at 25yards.

                            Most likely the pellet?

                              Yeah, probably the pellet. I have never got any of the pointed pellets to shoot good. I moved to pcp's but I've had good luck with the JSB pellets in pcp and springers.

                                Get you some JSB’s or Polymags. My WoodWalker pcp likes H&N’s 18.3 grain and groups about the size of a nickel at 25 yards. That’s not bad for a pistol.
