Cabin behind me is paid off. I'm pretending that I'm selling it so I can afford some tape, a hacksaw, and a super sniper. That's why I don't look happy. Pretending to be a broke dick loser who posts pictures of his mail along with irrelevant crap in threads and thinks super snipers are the best is depressing.
But, you've got, what did you say? 75,000,000 acres to play on.
Hey, since you're Mr Alaska, maybe impress us with your biggest Caribou. How about your best curly-horned mountain sheep thingy?
I'll bet you got lots of good pics of them. That would cheer me up.

Well at least your better looking ole Stick.

Yeah, I shouldn't have started a thread about practicing your offhand skills with inexpensive pellet guns. Stevie Wonder saw Stick and bipods and "better" pellet guns showing up and throwing insults.....
Granted, I could just ignore him, but where's the fun in that???
So, basically, a used, surplus trainer from the CMP allows for cheap, effective offhand practice.
CMP Sporter air rifles
In case anyone was, you know, still posting about cheap, effective OFFHAND practice.
Now we can all anxiously await sticks irrelevant mail call pics. Probably got a new tripod for shooting offhand......
I haven't read through this whole thread, but I am throwing in my two cents early since I know a bit about these air rifles. The CMP is selling Daisy 853/753 SSP's (Single Stroke Pneumatics). They're not powerful, but they'll shoot 10's on the 10 meter air rifle targets (a 10 is 1/2mm or about the size of a period in a newspaper article). These rifles are surplus off the JROTC programs who upgraded to Crosman Challengers. I coach a junior team and we still start new shooters on these rifles. It's not uncommon that our kids will shoot in the 80's offhand, through the irons with these. They're also shooting prone and kneeling with a sling. Upper 90's prone and upper 80's kneeling is a decent day for most of the first year kids.
If anyone is interested in getting one of the CMP Surplus Daisy's (best deal ever in an affordable marksmanship practice rifle), hit me up and I'll make a couple of recommendations to make them even a bit more shootable. The division these rifles are shot in is called "Sporter Air Rifle". In a couple of months we'll be rolling into Precision Air Rifle where they'll be shooting rifles with names like Anschutz, FWB and Walther. The FWB 300S doesn't even make the bottom rung here.

I actually linked to the CMP site (where I got mine) in an earlier post. 😉
I'm a lot taller, and I'm not fat. Wouldn't say either of us is getting on the cover of GQ next month though.....
LOL. Me too.

Thanks. I’ve been meaning to get an air rifle of some sorts to shoot pack rats and grackles around the Ranch house so I don’t shoot up all my .22 ammo. Hate to waste a CCI stinger on a damn packrat. I’ll have to check them out. The only B.B. gun I have left is Dad’s original Red Ryder from the 1940’s. Gave all mine away to the nephews years ago.

Looking for Daisy Air Rifle photos in my imgur. Didn't find any, but did find this ole Sheridan shot. Doesn't exactly fit the theme of this thread...because while it's old, it's definitely not "cheap". I like the photo, so I'm sharing.
The government plans these shootings by targeting kids from kindergarten that the government thinks they can control with drugs until the appropriate time--DerbyDude

They sure are a good way to get lots of good practice in. For a few dollars worth of pellets you could easily do as much shooting practice as one bloke here pretends to do with all his rusty rifles, and if there are small pests around you could do more hunting with it than he's ever done too, and you don't have to go far afield to do it.
I keep my 60 year old .22 caliber Crossman handy by the back door to take care of pecan thieves. The crap sights coupled with the 12lb trigger makes perfect form and follow through essential. Whops the heck out of them when you connect though.
Great choice. My Benjamin 397 .177 is my all-time killin'est gun. I've gotten well over 1,000 squirrels with it.

And, depending on where you hunt, much more relevant practice than shooting long range with a bipod or tripod.

Ain't practice for hunting with this:
But, stinky can't have other people liking what he doesn't like.
I'm sure he'll be around to post his 81 with a f'SS and tape on it, saying 300 Savage is at least a 900 yard deer caliber if you got enough mils on the elevation and "windshield."
goalie, I thought I was quoting that post...one of my many fails!
You did, but for some reason the link didn't copy to the quote. I figured I would re-post the link in case anyone was actually reading about offhand practice with pellet guns.

Ya know...I posted the minute I saw I had something to help with, but had I read through the end and seen how this thread de-evolved I'd have probably walked away.
Eerily quiet, lil Kim musta brought the numerous pregnancy test to go over with the lazy bushelor… haha
