300fps?!? Man, you're right kuntry kid. those do sound baby like. I shoot a Gamo model Shadow 1000, as with Td0g900. I like that with plain open sights(tru-glo), and it's accurate for quite a distance. It's capable of 70 yards with small targets(1, 2 inch usually). I have had it go through rabbits a few times(haven't shot many with it). Great fun.

my Air rifle is a norica marvic gold in a .177
1000 fps and has a 3.9 x 40 scope it great for the pesty birds and even rabbits

...my current favorite is an FX Tarantula .22 cal. 8-shot w/ a DaveG shrouded barrel and a DaveG custom walnut stock. Sporting a Burris Mini 4-12xPA airgun scope at the moment in Burris rings. Shooting JSB's around 900 fps and pushing Crosman Premiers maybe a tad faster. Kodiaks are definitely a bit slower, being heavier, but pack a real wallop!

Yet another PCP (pre-charged pneumatic) came across the doorway today, vying for supremacy as my favorite with the previously described custom FX Tarantula. A very nice used DayState Harrier, also in .22 cal., became mine after a little wheeling and dealing with a shooting buddy. It's internal valving has been tweaked a bit, yielding a bit more ft.-lbs. of energy at the cost fewer shots per fill off of the ol' scuba tank or FX pump, whichever is closest and most convenient.

Nice factory walnut stock, a Simmons ProAir 4-12xAO atop it, and like the FX it too sports professionally installed sling swivel studs. Killed several squirrels ("tree rats") with it after an initial sight-in, and I think I'm in love!

First off I want to say hi all, first time poster just found this forum. I'm an avid airgunner with my favorite right now being a webley T-Hawk.. (Paul watts modified). I like springers mostly and have a quite large collection of them. anybody close to Ohio ???

eman *mrvm*, I'm near Ohio in Fort Wayne. Where in the Buckeye State are you located?

Big Tomahawk fan here. Had one in .177 cal. but even though it was professionally tuned and was both exceptionally smooth and very accurate I ended up selling it. Hope to get one in .22 cal. some day.

Also had one in .25 cal. but despite it being a stout springer it just didn't have the power of some of the serious PCP's (like the Rapid-12 for example) to launch those hefty .25 cal. projectiles. A somewhat loopy (sp?) trajectory resulted, but it sure did kill effectively--it was "lights out" right now with any kind of reasonable hit. Also shot amazingly accurately for a .25, especially with the Diana Magnum pels.

Only complaint about Tommies is the lack of aftermark goodies like screw-on mods and gas-rams.
