Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Before you laugh too hard, I only paid 30 bucks for this.

Rush camo wrap job by yours truly. After some intensive and boisterous massaging of the internals, it seems to want to shoot.

That's 5 shots at 25 feet with a carboard box under the fore-end, and a cheep little 4X dept. store scope, and cheep dept. store pellets.

That's shootin cheeply :bigrin:

Gun- 30.00 Shipping- 18.00- Pellets 500 count tin for 2.99 :grin:

I've got almost a tin of pellets through it already. By my calculations, based on pellet cost only, cost of shooting is 1.5 cents per shot. 8-)

I like it so much, because I'm savin so much, that I ran out and bought a 100.00 scope for it. Who was sayin to pay more for the scope than the gun? I've got better than 3 times the cost of the gun wrapped up in that scope. :crzy: That should be about right, :hah: based on the cost ratio aspects between gun and scope I've seen on the net....

Regards,

Doc Sharptail
