Discovering a hunting underworld/subculture
mullet:
Hey, Trey and Sterling, all three deer I killed this year with my muzzle loaders was at 20 yards. Those air rifles will do the same. I just built a cabbage palm blind/hut and sat in a little beach chair and waited. Shot three turkeys out of the same blind.

I also have a Benjamin .22 cal. air rifle. It needs a rear sight, and gaskets. But when I was a kid, it was BAD A$$!!! It was very accurate, and it most definitely packed a punch. I shot a dove, at about 30-40 yds, and the flat nosed pellet, went out the other side, taking about half of the right breast meat with it! :o That little single shot pump air rifle, put a lot of doves, quail, and Meadowlarks in the frying pan! ;) Oh yes, Meadowlarks are tasty. I want to get that gun fixed. There are a lot Grouse just waiting to go home with me in Montana! ;) So one of these days, I am going to have to get my Benjamin Franklin air rifle fixed. They are great guns. I would love to have a RWS model 48 in .22, but they are just too expensive. For what I would have to pay for one, I could buy a real rifle! But one of these days...... 8)

Yeah but a real rifle is noisy and bullets are expensive ;D
check out the Benjamin "Super Streak" .22 comes allready scoped at 300 bucks, thats the one I have that killed a chick after it went thru a dove, punches clean thru a 3/4" plywood from 35 yards

Wow, N P, that punches pretty good ! :o But still in the pricey range. This old Benjamin, never had a scope, nor any place to put one. It is all brass, including the barrel. But it is exceedingly accurate, with the plain ol flat nosed skirted pellets. I will get it fixed, and use it. I would like to have a super streak, but like I said, it is a bit pricey for me. I am not working, so I don't have the money to splurge now. With that thing, you should go stalking a couple of Ne Ne's ! ;) If you have any where you are at.
