The Shadow .20 gets a Racoon at 25 yards and the Genesis gets another one at 15 yards. The Shadow it him in the back of the head and he just stopped in his tracks, broken his spine buy thoi looks of the hole in his head.

The Genesis shot was a heart lung shot, bugger would not turn for me so he got it anyway, he didn't make it more that 10 yards before he died and went to rocky racoon heaven.
 
Little buggers will stop knocking down my feeder and suet cages or else.

Great shootin Dick. That Shadow shot was a clean kill, looks like. I wish I had some racoon's around my place. Would love to see what my Hunter 1250 .22 would do to them with a head shot at lets say 30 to 40 yards. ..:)

By the way, I got my muzzle brakes today and will be shootin off da money in da morning.. They look allot better in person. That is some of the cleanest machine work I have seen Dick... The finish is absolutly astonishing.. Thanks... Gonna need one for my my Samatra. Will let you know the specs. as soon as I get my adapter.


Thanks

Gene

Nice pics, enjoyed them :)  Seems like you have a real healthy population of racoons near you.

How do you like that Genisis?  I love the looks, but I'm really curious how it shoots and feels compared to a Shadow or CFX.  Always had a soft spot for thumbhole stocks, hope to make one for my CFX soon.  BTW, can you do barrels for a CFX?  If so, any idea of cost for a decent match grade choked barrel in .177?  Thanks.
