I was a free range kid in the 80s. My parents did not want to be parents so refused to participate. I was pretty raised and fed by the parents of my friends and my uncle. I pretty much did whatever the f@#$ I wanted. Weirdly, it had the effect of making me act like a decent human. Do not get me wrong, I caused my share of chaos and heart ache however those occassions were rare.

Anybody got a sub 16lb AT setup?

Click to expand...

So my AT comes in at 16.2 lbs with:
- NF ATACR 4-16x42
- ARC rings
- High rail
- 18.5" 6.5CM medium palma barrel
- TBAC SR brake
- Atlas BT46-LW17 PSR bipod
- Empty mag
- TAB Gear sling

I don't have a shipping scale so I am gonna say its +/- 3 ounces.

Dump the sling, drop to a lighter optic, and a lighter profile barrel can get you there.

Warming the rattle cans in small pot of hot kitchen sink water for 5-10 min will allow the spray paint to flow smoother with
a lot more consistency of spray density.

Hello all! I do a fair bit of BR rimfire, but am interested in getting into 0.177 to participate in some weekly shoots.

I’ve done a lot of reading, but am struggling to narrow down my search. I like Annie’s, but in airgun world, they all seem to be focused on 10m with diopter sights. I definitely need a big scope.

What are people using for this? I’d like to stay at 0.177, and would mainly be doing 50 or 100yd.

I can spend some money on this.

Thanks in advance!

Generally you don't want to be using .177 pellets at 100Y. Slugs maybe but it takes work, time, and some luck to find the right combo that shoots well enough.
Except for how hugely .177 pellets blow they are reasonably precise at 80Y because we can hit 1/5th scale chicken silhouettes most of the time if it's calm-ish out .

Why, it's the low .032 G1 BC of one of the better .177 pellets, the 13.4 JSB, and how much these blow in the wind even at 50Y. 100Y with .177 is stretching the poor little thing too much.
Can it be done, yes of course, is it recommended, heck no and will end up being more frustrating than enjoyable.
And I like shooting farther out more than most.
25Y/M BR comps, yeah much more appropriate for .177.

I highly suggest at least going to 22 cal, and as much, buying a Thomas slug gun or his HPX. Though there's a 1.2 years backlog.

The better 22 cal pellets have .054 or so G1BC and slugs as high a .21 can be had, though those slugs require a faster twist barrel. .054 BC is a lot more than .032 which makes a big difference in the wind.

PRICE DROP- $5000 for 300NM with spare unfired 300NM barrel/bolt.

I don't have a relationship with my parents. When I moved out, I never looked back and have had no contact with them. However, I am blessed that they are gen-Xers and not boomers.

This is the truth. The crazy leftist professors will absolutely tell students they are wrong if their answers don’t align with the professor’s political leanings. I keep saying that I am going to write a book when I retire that tells what it is like to work in higher education as a conservative.
