crosman g1 extreme 1000fps pellet gun

[Dichotomy]

I like capping squirrels with Airsoft pistols.  Doesn't kill them but they tend to move their operations to neighbors yards.

Air rifles cannot be discharged within my city limits.  Something about pre-pube punks roaming around at night shooting out streetlights and windows of parked cars......

thats why u dont get caught

What coat do you use for your house?
For chewers you can use "carbol" (sort of a tar-whiff), or make your own cocktail from i.e. diesel.
I know this, for I have to deal with horses that frequently gewt stored in a paddock, and they will literally eat the naked wood.
Horse vs squirrel....horse eats more. And I can't shoot those 

well, the front and sides of the house are vinyl siding, but the addition and porch/deck are all wood paneling/siding.. untreated..
just been plain lazy, as far as treating it.. shooting the squirrels is simply more fun...

Bahh try a Career  dragon slayer.

.50 cal at 570 fps.

damn vulcan..  an air rifle will kill jacks at over 80 yards (80m is over 80 yards right?)?

I shot one of the 1200 fps airguns the other day and was surprised at how loud it was.  What is funny is that they now make a silencer version of the guns.

Yup thats right. But they have problems, as 'springer' air rifles get more power they get less accurate, they kinda kick funny when they fire. And they're heavy. The rabbits and hares (aka jacks) are also getting wise to me and not hanging around, so I'm seeing a lot of stuff 'egress' the area beyond 80m. I'm waiting for my firearms license to come through (should be this week), I've had enough of my air rifle - I've got a Savage 223 with a 4-12x40AO scope and suppressor on hold   . Figure it'll also cover the goats, pigs, and deer in the area too.

Vulcan if the permit falls through, I suggest looking into precharged air rifle. I know of one company that I believe makes a 900+ fps rifle in 9mm and 1100 in .22.

It's just paperwork on the license, everything has been doing, it's just case of waiting for the postman to deliver

The springers that are supersonic (1150+ FPS) can be unstable in flight, as the pellet passes through the sound barrier.. But thats one reason I got a 1000 fps rifle. Just under the sound barrier, and i can shoot 3/4 in groups all day from 20-30 yds. (the length of the backyard of my house.).  I Dont NEED anything more.

I wouldn't go pig hunting with a 223...you need a bigger rock than that.

Its not an air rifle, but its a good shooting story none the less.

I took this buffalo at about 75 yards with my M48 Yugo mauser with a Yugo sniper scope shooting 200 Gr. Accubonds ontop of Turkish military cases with 3 grains of powder removed. I fired one round that hit just behind the shoulder that severed the spine and exploded the heart immediately dropping and killing the animal. who says you need a buffalo rifle to kill buffalo, 8mm mauser works beautifully

the next step is to go for an e-cat endorsement and start stockpiling the evil stuff for the revolution

Small pigs <100m?  Me uncle says it's fine, a 60 gr 223 will take care of them nicely. He's retired and works as a hunting guide - him and my dad have been pig hunting all their lives (the kind back when they'd just use knives and dogs because ammo was to expensive).
