The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.
I killed a very large coon at my house. But I didn't have to go the air rifle or cb long route. I used 3 shots from the old 870 12ga with #6 lead.

Quote from: TheHunt on September 13, 2011, 10:30:47 AMGreat advice. I think I will pick up a box of CB Longs and go shoot them. Hunt, here in the Olympia City limits, it is illegal to discharge a firearm. An air rifle is not a firearm. I have a Gamo and with the proper projectile it will achieve 1200 FPS. However, I do not think the kinetic power is enough to do a coon in. I have taken inumerable eastern squirrels with it, but have not tried it on the racoons. In my opinion, the CB's from the .22 is the way to go if you are not concerned about discharging a firearm. I use CB Caps, they are pretty deadly, and very quiet. I have not tried the CB Longs, sounds like a good idea. Congratulations on the awesome bull you bow killed it was beauty. Muskrat, an immigrant from the BTC website.

I have an rws in .177 don't be fooled.....this is no red rider. For down and dirty work, look at the .38 and .45 cal air guns.......bad medicine.
There are some wicked air rifles out there with more then enough energy for small game.
QuoteThere are some wicked air rifles out there with more then enough energy for small game. There's a big difference in size in animals that may be classified as small game. A squirrel or a rabbit is one thing, but a raccoon is entirely different.
