Longest confirmed kill?

[randyhub]

Well guys my .25 Condor using a Lothar standard rifling choked 24" barrel and JSB Exact Kings 25.4 grains @ 960 fps has burned thru 2 sides of Gophers at 150 yards many times and I don't guess I use my laser rangefinder.

It is not bogus and yes a .25 air rifle filled from a 3000 psi scuba tank is just a s deadly as a standard velocity .22 rimfire so don't fool yourselves. No is it not a 1 shot 1 kill, I typically will do a ranging shot and use my Mildots due to drop and crosswinds.

Hitting a coffee can at 150 yards is not that hard but only a .25 pellet can buck the wind consistently.

Dry firing with my old QB78 kills many insects around the house from under 3 ft!!!! Its the close ones that count, after all, isn't it about the thrill of the hunt!!!

Thank you, it is a scope from Fitco Canada, 3X9 red laser, illuminated Mildots, a anti-cant level built in.

It is very heavy I just set up and shoot, but I have a 14" .25 barrel as well which makes quite alot lighter, the 24" barrel yields the most power over 80 ft lbs also have upgraded the 490cc tank to 858cc.

My best confirmed kill was a 65yd headshot on a r.w. blackbird.I remembered when I was a kid, hitting a seagull in flight. I had a sub 500 fps 177. The bird had to be at least 50 yds straight up. I aimed @ 5 feet in front of it-thwack, it dipped a couple feet then continued on its way.Btw the rifles used were diana34 stock sights and slavia stock sights.
