hillbilly pellet rifle
« on: April 03, 2010, 04:20:48 PM »
So a few years back i acquired a Benjamin c9 .20 caliber pellet rifle. it was in pretty rough shape so I took her apart and cleaned her up. well it always shot just a little to the left, I tried adjusting the rear site and it broke off :bash: so I bought some scope mounts and a airrifle scope and mounted it up. scope turned out to be a pos and due to its configuration had to be mounted so far forward it caused eye relief problems. I did kill a number of sage rats w/ it and maybe a bunny or too but I never was super happy w/ it. Well today I was visiting a good friend who was cleaning out his shed and found an ancient Bushnell scope chief w/ a post reticule he didn't have any use for it so we scrounged around and found a set of rings (silver) screwed the hole affair together and sighted her in. The last three shot group was under 1/2" at 20 yards 8) that's in a decent cross wind and just using an old lawn chair for a rest, not to mention about a 14 lbs trigger pull. I would like to find a lower set of rings and maybe a better mounting system but for the time being I'm ready to kill some sage rats!
nuke the gray whales for jesus!

hillbilly or not, sounds like you got a shooter there, and some fun getting it put together.   :tup:
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
