That place is just begging for some long range shooting.

on the other hand shooting a .22 PCP airgun 100 M are also a challenge, but thats things us Danes have to make do with.

I shoot my 10m PCP air rifle more than anything I own. Don't even have to go outside to do it. I also have other PCP guns, and a nitro piston gun. Don't care for the harsh recoil impulse and hold sensitivity of springers. I had a 50yd range at my old place in the back yard, but not anymore.

Yeah the little pellets get pushed around good even by a fairly light wind, and i say good cuz if i am not with in 2 - 3 inches of the mark then its not shooting IMO.
And Denmark always have a little wind, and often too much of the stuff, at least for long range.
I am hoping new PCP rifles and more conventional "pellet" design will allow for higher pellet speeds before they start to wobble all over the place.
Accuracy should also improve when the pellet skirt are lost.


Only .177 are legal here now, but i intend to go for a new rifle with interchangeable barrels / calibers, and then go .25 for the longer range stuff, as my friends new house have around 200 M to make good with.


Got my eye on the FX dreamline, but will have to get a AR stock for it.

That's just asinine that you can't own a pellet gun larger than a .177 caliber. I really want a .25, but not while I'm hand pumping. And I like the ability to get Crosman premiers in .22 at WalMart. My Prod loves those things almost as much as the expensive stuff. For taking out tree rats, they work just fine. I only have the Prod (Marauder pistol, currently in carbine form), and my Crosman Challenger 10m rifle, that's wearing a scope so I can practice fundamentals for shooting my long range powder burners. Not sure what's next honestly. Either another .22 PCP with longer range than the Prod, or possibly a .25 and a SCBA tank. I have a friend with a shoebox compressor, so getting bottles filled is no problem. I passed on a 50% off deal on a UK made Gamo Urban PCP that other day, that was hard to do. But it's Christmas time and I have more than enough stuff.

The Prod (I've since added a Marmot Militia shroud extension with baffles to quieten it down some)



The Challenger on my indoor shooting bench It's got a Lothar Walther barrel, and will happily stack pellets all day long. Around 100 shots per fill is nice for trigger time practice too.

Both of those are just creepy to me. The implications of that big one on an even larger scale could be impressive. Say, scaled up to a mid sized submarine? I wonder what it sounds like underwater.

I took this photo from my porch this morning when I woke up. The sky was so crazy, vivid red. The photo doesn't do it any justice.
