« on: February 26, 2009, 01:24:15 PM »
I am looking for new 177 for hunting will use leapers 3x9x40.I would like mid 900's fps
I have a MM B-26 IN .22 but it's more of a 25yd gun would like one that will shoot at 40yds.
Thanks for all the info you guy's put on the site.

Mike,
Love the way the B-26 feels just not sure I can shoot it at 40yds it would make the perfect walk around
in the swamp rifle, but I am used to heavy centerfires.My .22 in B-26 is very hold sensative.

Don't laugh, but my favorite woods gun is my Daisy 1000. It is accurate and light. It is also a true 1,000 fps gun with CPL. What I like about it is the quick lock time. A simple trigger polish job corrects any trigger pull issues.
Unlike some AGs it shoots to the same point of impact whether shot from a rest or off hand. I paid $49 for mine at Academy Sports. It is by far a better AG than the Gamo Big Cat Pud I gave away.
BTW it is not hold sensitive at all.
