Who has a pellet or BB gun, what make/model is it, and what do you use it for?
When I was a kid, I had a Crossman, Pumpmaster 760 that was pretty much my favorite toy. Had the thing from about 8 years old until... I guess when I moved out. Don't know what happened to the thing, but the other day I was at K-mart, and I saw the same gun for sale.
It was like $36, why the heck not?
So I bought it. When I got home and pulled it out of the box I found a few changes from the old gun I had as a kid. Some kind of plastic "fiber optic" front sight on it, that's actually a bit too wide. Also, after some research, I found out they went to a smooth bore barrel now instead of rifled, undoubtedly for reducing production costs.
Anyway, I bought some pellets as well and set up a target area in the back yard, and after getting used to the thing, I can keep a 10" group from 165'.
I know that doesn't sound to impressive, but at 75' I can stay within 2" mostly, which is more than acceptable for a gun of $36 and use in starling/stray dog control. 625 FPS it says on the box.
Pretty happy with it.
Whatchu got?
