A Different kind of Long-gun
Well, picked up a new toy tonight. Bought a Beeman Silver Kodiak X2 'Switch-Barrel' Air Rifle. Yep, comes with two quick-change barrels, one in .177 and one in .22. Claimed velocities are ;up to 1250fps with .177PDA Pellets and, 950fps in .22.
Pictures later.

Interesting choice, Dave. My younger son looked at one but went with a .22/20 gauge Rossi instead. Curious how this runs for you, cause I do need another rifle.

Dave, PDA ammo is kind of a joke. It is to light. Pushing the pellet close to the speed of sound diminishes accuracy considerably. Most air guns achieve best accuracy with what ever pellet keeps the fps around 875-900. By picking a heavier grain pellet and shooting at the slower speed you will still see modest increases in FPE. Here is my new toy  Day state air ranger 30 fpe version. Shoots a .22 18.1 grain at 905 fps. Hawke scope. I have the tank and shoe box compressor coming for it. I should be able to have a quarter size group at 75 yds if i do my part.

I did the same thing as randal. I have been jonseing for a day state air ranger for 2 years. I picked one up from long island with a hugget shroud (term for suppressor for air rifles). It is very quiet. Again, extremely accurate out to about 100 yds if you do your part. I have 60-70 yd max in my back yard for squirrel, chipmunk, and rat control. I will dial this in and go to town this spring.
Just spend an hour or so watching teds videos. http://www.youtube.com/user/EdgunUSA
