Whats your favorite hunting gun?
« on: January 28, 2010, 06:50:34 AM »
Mine is my 392, but the disco may change that. If your headed to the woods, whats the first gun you reach for. Like i said as of now, mine is the 392 by alot, You guys might not know this, but my next favorite pest control/ small game hunting weapon is my bow...love to bowhunt. In my opinion, airgun hunting and bowhunting go hand in hand.

Mine depends on my mood. If I'm going with a springer I'll grab my MM B-26 .22 cal. If I'm going CO2 or PCP I'll grab my custom Disco built on a 2240 frame. Its light weight accurate and powerful.

A couple of Springers nothin to get excited about.

Right now my favorite small game hunting gun would have to be my .22 Marauder....  

My favorite "medium" sized game gun is without a doubt my .22 Air Force Condor  :)

Well I'm still getting to know my Disco but really liking her but my proven got to shooters are my Hunter 1250.22 and my B26's .177. All my shooters are accurate and ready to hunt and just a matter of which one I grab. Ed

by far the best pest killer i have that is not a powder-burner.....favorite power-burner is remington bushmaster 762 .308 with 150gr powerpoints.

My favorite is the 460 22 cal. at the moment but my 350 177 cal. just scoped today might change that.

At the present,....Still have to go with the B-28A. It's been about 2 months since I bought Rogers RX-2,....which is totally awesome,....but I've yet to find the best pellet for it! Dang gun shoots just about every pellet I have great!!!! I still get tickled plinking at 18 yards from my shop door. Never saw veggy cans "leap" so much from a "BB-Gun"!!!!!! But my 28 really is a Sweet-Shooter. After a tin of Crow-mags (18.2's), the Maccarii spring still spits the RWS SD's in the low 700's, but still plenty of FPE's to git the job dun! tjk
PS: I got a replacement BSA scope in the mail this week. It's the 3-12X44 side paralax adjustment "Essential" model. Not too shabby a scope,...and kinda compact which makes for a well balanced 'long gun'! tjk

Small game to medium-sized game (squirrel to groundhog, coon, possum, etc.) - AF Condor .22 & Condor .25, shrouded of course.
 
2nd best:  Diana 350 .22 for squirrel, crow, Groundhog - got a couple of possums too.  Nothing like an accurate, tuned springer
(Diana 34/36 probably equals the 350 because it's so dang accurate, again tuned, but has less power so loses 2nd place to the 350)

Bird gun (Starlings, Grackles, English sparrows):  RWS 850 .22 (or .177) - CO2 gun: recoiless and same-hole accurate @ 25yds.

If I could only have one gun out of all these, it'd be a tough decision but the Condor .22 would probably win, although I just got the Condor .25 worked on a little more and barrel re-crowned, so it's just as accurate, but with 20fpe more (!) than the .22cal.  

Nothing like an accurate, shrouded (quiet) PCP with 1/2 to 2/3 the power of a .22LR rimfire, that can shoot through a 2x4"   8)
Springers:
Diana 36 .177
Diana 350 .22 (donated by Timmy!)
Diana 350 .177
PCP\'s:
Air Force Condor .22 (Airhog)
Air Force Condor .25 (Talon Tunes)
Air Force Condor .25 (Lemak)  
CO2/Pump:
RWS Hammerli 850 .22
Crosman 2240 Custom .22
A few Crosman pumpers .177

For now it's the Hammerli X2 in .22 (it always stays at the ready in .22) but the blue streak is also a very close runner up. Depends on what I'm hunting.  but I'm on the fence about buying a disco and I've been toying with the idea of getting a .25 too.  Decisions, decisions
