FPE needed to kill various animals

Just saw it, that’s quite neat. Sometimes we underestimate the power of these rifles, but that’s just proof they are quite serious business.

As well as giving me an excuse to consider a dedicated opossum gun. 1322 .22: bird, sig .177: bird, rabbit, hare, opossum to 15m Weihrauch .22(Hopefully in Feb) rabbit, hare, cat, Maggie, opossum close range .25 possum, cat, goat Close range. Wallaby if ever get the chance. See what work brings.

I was looking at the BSA multi shot when lockdowns were looming and grabbed the locally available Gamo Replay 10 to run through its paces while the world waited.

Is there anything specific you’re wanting to know about the Spitfire? I found it to be quite a good gun, and probably amongst the most accurate in my collection - quite beautiful too. If I was to be extremely critical, the gun is quite heavy - maybe part of why it’s so accurate - quicks a bunch, and is very noisy, as my one is the muzzle-break version with no thread for a suppressor, but overall, no regrets for buying it, I really enjoy the rifle and can surely recommend it - a lot of value for your money. It’s the same as the BSA Lightning, but with the Gamo 10 shot mag and a different barrel finish.

The rail on the SurgeMax is a normal 20mm picatinny. If you’re thinking about buying it, I would surely say that unless you get a very good deal, you can probably do better with your money. It’s quite a heavy and powerful rifle too, but it is rough as guts. Quite clunky and the rear stock is full metal, which makes it quite cold to use in the winter, and I don’t know if that’s because I don’t use it much, but even lubricating it often, the barrel break is quite tough and don’t feel as smooth. I’ve heard good things about the Stoeger RX20 (Or S4000 in the USA), which is in the same price range, but seems to be a much better gun.

That will give me 15m on the sig. 1322 not at all. Haven't sorted the 362 for pellet yet but I'd suppect 10m-15range.
Cheers Nunga, that's info I'll store away.
