<\/a><\/p>\nThe stock is a Thumbhole sporter, with the trigger guard integrated into the stock. It has a solid feel, but is not bulky. The air cylynder is removed for filling using a propriatary attachment. A bolt action cycles the rifle, auto indexing a five shot shuttle magazine. This is not meant to be a gun review, more of a look back at an interesting hunting rifle….. But putting out about 16 fpe and very good accuracy I’ve had a lot of fun small game hunting with it, mostly for squirrel and rabbits,<\/p>\n
The compact carbine was a natural pointer, and hunting for squirrel in the spring as the foliage got thicker was a natural environment for it. During these hunts I often used the single shot tray, as I was trying out some longer alloy and heavyweight lead pellets that didn’t cycle well with the magazine. However, with standard JSB and H&N\u00a0pellets it was reliable. As mentioned, the magazine is a linear shuttle design, and though it works well enough, it is a bit awkward to load.<\/p>\n As an aside: these pictures also bring back some memories of places I haven’t hunted in a long time. This squirrel hunt took place in the Missinewa Forest of Indiana. There were a few hundred acres of woods with deer, turkey, and lots of squirrel. In eight or nine years of hunting there, I never ran into another squirrel hunter. I felt like this was my own private hunting preserve. I have found that regardless of where I am going to be spending time, by researching I can always find places to hunt on public land. With big game this often means a lot of pressure and low game populations, but squirrel are often left alone in these same areas.<\/p>\n I also used this handy carbine for several rabbit hunts in Michigan. I had an office there for a few years, and always kept a rifle stashed in my Jeep for pick up hunts before and after work. I don’t remember the number of shots per fill, but I didn’t carry a tank with me in those days but rather a hand pump. I don’t recall having to resort to that very often, one charge could easily get me through a week of small game and varmint hunting.<\/p>\n I still see these rifles turn up now and again, through I don’t believe there were more than a handful imported. It’s an example of a product that probably could have achieved decent sales, but circumstances prevented it ever having a chance!<\/p>\n Update: I am writing this from my hotel in Houston, I’ve spent a few days at a lecture series that wraps up tomorrow, then on my way to a buddy’s ranch for some hog and predator hunting. It’s a six hour drive, but I have to stop in Abilene to pick up my rifles and gear that I shipped to a friend to hold for me. They have a population of feral sheep on the property as well, and if time permits I might give them a try.<\/p>\n A final note, keep an eye out, I’ll be posting the information on our prairie dog shoot and airgunning event in S. Dakota coming up this summer. The way it’s shaping up my expectation is for a great three day event!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was going through the gun safe getting ready for a hunt in Texas (that’s where I am writing this from), and came across a gun case that had lost it’s label.
