I have an RWS-54; be prepared to dig.
Also,I have a heavily wooded area adjacent to me.
Anything left there in the evening is gone by morning.

The RWS-54 is incredible!

I used to have off-hours access to the rec center next to the Roselle airport.
We could shoot AIR rifles, no powder burners.
100 YARDS+ inside!!!!

WHAT A BLAST! hit a tincan (from a rest).
Pull the trigger and wait... can jumps...wait... then you hear the sound of the hit. A very noticeable delay.

On my own chronograph some lighter pellets over 1,000 FPS muzzle. Heavy pellets tended to be more accurate and slower. ~600 FPS.

And not much noise.

Us too. DuPage FPD on three sides within a couple of miles. West Branch, Mallard Lake, and Pratt’s Wayne. But it’s illegal to release anything into them. Big fine if you get caught.

“I used to have off-hours access to the rec center next to the Roselle airport.“

Sweet. A wile back I had access to that gun club at North Ave and County Farm. It’s tucked away back there. .22 rifles, single shot only. Nice club but not our thing.

“The RWS-54 is incredible!”

I just found an old Daisy pump in the back of my closet. Totally forgot I had it. The seals were shot so I ordered a new piston kit. Just got here yesterday. I’ll swap it out next week. I don’t really want to kill it. I just want it to move on.

Enjoy this snowy Sunday.
