Thanks guys.  

Bill, I do take my B26-2's to the duck farm,,, matter of fact last time I took the .177 cal I had a banner day and nailed a real load of starlings.  I guess I just naturally reach for the goldfinger more than any of the other rifles cause I have to admit they are my favorite guns to shoot and hunt with,,,, but I do try to give the other guns their turn at the farm.  

I've been squirreling away money for the past few months trying to save up for another Goldfinger, want to get the .20 caliber to complete my R-9 collection, and I just added the final pennies yesterday necessary to hit the order button,,, so ,,,, I may be ordering the .20 very soon and hopefully posting pics of it with some kills.  :)

Yeah Jason, crows can be a tough target to bring down.  I've taken a couple with my airguns , I love it when I get a shot at them, but they are so wary that it's usually a rarity for one to perch close enough to me for a shot.   I've found if you hit them in the back the feathers will usually absorb most, if not all, of the impact and the crow will just fly off shaking his feathers.  But if you can hit them in the chest then you're ok as the breast feathers are very soft and fluffy and the pellets just zips right through em.
