Yeah, I could probably have the best PCP guns money can buy for all the money spent on simple CO2 and pumpers over the pandemic. I just love them but I'm using mostly for target practice but the 1377 is an awesome gun for light pest control in a compact pkg. We probably need to resurrect the official airgun thread and start posting some pics. I saw a vid the other day where a guy made his 2289g into a "scout rifle" airgun...pretty cool. I might do something similar with mine. I have tried all sorts of penetration tests on full cans of beans and the slower 22cal from the same powerplant just beats the 177 hands down as much as I love 177 and its flat trajectory and cheaper pellets LOL.Yeah, it certainly takes the right setup for the person and situation. There are times i wish i went .22 caliber, but not enough for me to upgrade from what i know. Plinking squirrels at 50 yards is fun and understanding your pellet path is key. Pellet guns are underrated in the amount of fun they can provide on the cheap.
