Something a little different

[Illustrated_Man]

So, it's tax time, and I got my first tax refund in over a decade. I've purchased a couple new toys, the first of which I think you all willl approve of:

That's a .457 Jack Haley Magnum air rifle...Good for over 500 FPE, which means it'll take medium-large game(or zombies) past 100 yards. The 2.5-10x40 ACOG knock-off with dual-illuminated bullet-drop compensated reticle works well.

It even came with an assortment of ammunition, ranging from 250 to 430 grains, truncated cone, soft-point and hollow-points.

Nice! Is the ACOG going to have any issues with the unique recoil pulse of an air rifle?

 

[Illustrated_Man]

Actually, the recoil is more like a large bore blackpowder rifle. As this is a large bore pre-charged pneumatic, the recoil is unidirectional and not as harsh as one might expect. Downside, it's far, far too loud to shoot near my apartment.

Very nice and would be nice to shoot around here.

And here's a set of freshly resealed Crosman 150 .22 caliber CO2 pistols.

One in chrome with white swirl grips, the other in blue with basic black grips. Yes, I happen to collect airguns.

I don't think I've ever seen one with the white grips before... Nice catch there!

They came with either white swirled with blue, black, or a woodgrained brown plastic wraparound, or brown, white swirled or black flat panel grips. And yes, the white grips look sweet on the chromed 150.

How about this for something different...a Venom shrouded Mac-1 LD Pistol, built from the Crosman Mark I...it's an air pistol that'll outshoot rifles at 50 yards, stay almost silent, and hold consistent velocity from 50 degrees Fahrenheit to 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
