I have been contemplating my next airgun purchase for a while, and Crosman’s Benjamin Marauder has been in the mix. Every since Crosman released the Benjamin Discovery at an affordable price ($399 for the gun and hand pump) I have been considering going PCP, but to be honest, the dark side is daunting. After reading [...]
I want to flip my Net Yaroze into a Benjamin Sheridan Marauder. Well, I at least want to sell my Net Yaroze to fund a Marauder. If you are interested, go to the eBay listing and bid. The Net Yaroze is complete, in box, and in great shape! I have also added a near mint [...]
Airgun purchase cannot be a casual affair. At least not for me. Quality adult airguns are expensive, and by the time you add on the expense of a quality scope and scope mount, you have some serious cash invested in a purchase. My inventory (probably better stated as my collection) is currently fairly simple – [...]
I preordered Air Rifle Shooting for Pest Control and Rabbiting by John Bezzant several months ago (March to be exact) from Amazon. I received the book in mid June, and after reading it and leafing through it multiple times, I am ready to offer up a few opinions. First, the book is a very easy [...]
It has been a while since I have posted anything airgun related, so how about this tidbit I received via email from the good folks at Straight Shooters. We just finished the Our Take testing on the new Benjamin Sheridan Marauder and we were very happy with the results. It was a little difficult to [...]
For your reading enjoyment, backyard pest control is back. A weekend recap of the highs and lows ob backyard springer pest control Beeman style. Saturday I took out a destructive chipper at about 20 yards (maybe 23) with my .22 Beeman R1. Of course most casual readers may find chipmunks cute and cuddly types, but [...]
Better than a Sunday church pot luck dinner; a scrumptious serving of Saturday random nonsense, Recycle Bin style. Enjoy! Doing the needful. Oh yes my friends. Rejoice! For sex, and plenty of it is in your future. After all, your wife does care about you, right? Thanks to this article, now you have six damn [...]
I promised an update a while back (see “Ultimate Guide to Squirrel Hunting?” but like a lot of other things, a review was put on the back burner. Is The Ultimate Guide to Squirrel Hunting by Bob Gooch worth a purchase? I think so, but it is certainly not must read material. The book is [...]
Yesterday I spent some time re-mounting my replacement Bushnell ELITE 3200 to my beloved .22 R1. The R1 had been out of action for a good 7-8 weeks while I waited for Bushnell to do the needful with their warranty repair. And the needful they did; as I wrote yesterday, I have a brand spanking [...]
Well, it took about seven weeks, but I finally have an update on my scope issues. Today a brand spanking new Bushnell ELITE 3200 arrived courtesy of Brown. When I sent in the scope I was not sure what to expect. Would Bushnell honor the warranty? When they say that the dots on the glass [...]
I recently posted on the Straight Shooters forum that my Bushnell Elite 3200 7-21-40 Scope has encountered some unforeseen issues. My very expensive scope has some strange spots on it that cannot be cleaned, but one of the Straight Shooters owners attempted to clarify the situation. “When the scope is assembled, there is nitrogen on [...]
Today was a banner day for best control. While the weather was great yesterday, I was stuck in the office most of the day, so I did not have an opportunity to work out my .177 R7 or .20 R1 Carbine (.22 R1 is currently sans scope, so it is not in the rotation). I [...]
When I am not shooting (plinking, punching paper, or pest controlling), I have been reading a couple of interesting books. A few weeks ago, I wrote a blurb that I had ordered “The Ultimate Guide to Squirrel Hunting: Everything You Need to Know to Hunt This Popular Game Animal” by Bob Gooch. I planned to [...]
Today is just a downright nasty rainy, thunder storming kind of day, so no real opportunities for outdoor activities. I wanted to feed my Beeman R1 Carbine some of the JSB Exact .20 pellets I just picked up from Straight Shooters, so I setup shop in the kitchen bathroom window, and waiting for a break [...]
Yesterday was an absolutely brilliant day. Sunny; low 70′s; very light breeze. A perfect day for taking off from work a little early. I got out of the office at 4PM; but hey, I will take it. After picking up a few cold ones (see thread below), I cruised by the park and headed home. [...]
