No snow one year then you get another winter 2014 the next. For my buck, sleds are a greater kick than bikes! But then I'm a southerner so naturally it's a thrill when I get the chance.

The quieter pellets also sold by gamo are heavier and still fast at a respectable 1000fps. 177cal. Also came with a nice scope but prefer open sites .

Bought some 74/T5 sized LEDs to finish the 'Lower Watt, Higher Lumens, White Light' Kawasaki and Bashan Instrument Cluster Upgrade.
Also got a 'Digital Tachometer' to try out, Mrs. complained about the other one "reading slow/sticking", instead of taking it apart and trying to fix the $5 China Tach, I decided to try out and ordered a $9 'Red Digital Tachometer' in it's place ..... And I had to order a few parts for my cars today too... One car decided it wanted to run through a full tank of gas in 100 miles... can you say "runs a little bit rich"??? A new Idle Air Control Valve for a 92 Honda Accord EX (a $300 part ) was ordered, along with some EGR Port Caps (to clean up some plugged up EGR Ports/Passageways)... And 2 transmission drive axle seals for my Turbo 'Eclipse Clone' (Plymouth's version) to finish my Clutch/Flywheel/Throw-out Bearing/Manual Transmission 'rebuild/refurbish' ... only cost $8 for both of those

Also, there's a nice air rifle forum "Gateway to Airguns.com". There's a sweet trigger there that one of the veteran members made for it. Turns it into a sweet shooter! Happy shootin'!

Some of these modern air guns are quite amazing with their ability. Yes, it is shocking to hear a supersonic report from an air gun. Of course that also means that the woodpecker or squirrel doesn't know what hit them.

Yes , I figured that was what was going on withe the high veh. Ammo, supersonic, amazing. It did come with a scope in the box but never used one so left it off. Has nice open sites too.
2lz , there was a model there for $225 or even more , I forget, knew I didn't want it for that much, but it was a Gamo and it said 1300fps. I figured this model was plenty for my needs and budget. I think this is the one that you are calling the ssw http://www.walmart.com/ip/Gamo-Silen...Rifle/17420181 But damm, I didn't think it was $279 !

For gopherin' now, I picked up this Benjamin pistol. It's a .177, is amazingly accurate when set up correctly and will shred the head clean off a surfacing rodent. I was amazed at it's power. It's a nitro piston also. We've had such a problem with gophers it's nuts. They've destroyed almost everything Mrs. 2LZ has planted, have destroyed what little lawn we had in the small fenced yard, and have even undermined my deck pier blocks. We've smoked them, poisoned them, flooded them. Nothing works but a pellet in the pumpkin. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Benjamin-T...istol/23763906 You'll find all modern trigger basically suck because they're designed to. They have a long pull (either primary or secondary) and a hard release for "safety" so they don't accidently go off. There are work-arounds for this.

RX3 filters
Well folks due to fat finger late night ordering I managed to order (2) 2 piece RX3 reusable filters from AliExpress. That gives me 4 of these things and I really only want 2. AliExpress has a listing showing they are still 28 bucks for 2. Anyone interested in buying these off me for that same price let me know ... otherwise I reckon I'll be well stocked lol. Shoot me an IM if you are interested. I will say they are high quality and I see why Spud and others have made the switch.

Jets, jets, and more jets!
Got some more Mikuni main jets for the Bashan and some Keihin pilot jets for my Kawasaki, have to finish the 'fine tuning' Bashan is running great so far on a 25 slow (still need to try a 22.5), but needs a different main jet for fine tuning still, have a 98, 100, 105, 110, 115 in the set... so I ordered another set with 102, 108, 112, 118 and a few others Now I just have to wait for them to arrive from China The Bashan WILL is now ride-able and we'll be putting (s)miles on it daily now, with or without those 'fine tuning' jets
