Thinking about buying a mossberg 802 plinkster with a tasco x4-x9 scope as a little plinker/rabbit gun

we just set out 3 of them today lol. 2 with scopes oone with iron sights

Drop one in a UPS box. I'll test it for you and report back.
Put orange tape on the barrel end so it looks like an air soft gun. Pack a box of airsoft pellets with it. That would confuse someone if they opened it up.


Seems there are Remmington CBee22's and CCI has quiet 22's also. Checking the specs, 500 fps to700 fps. No more than 50 ft/lbs energy and quiet as an air gun.  I guess slow 22's are not much different in energy as a good air gun.
Kind of comes down to pellets are easier to buy and legal (except in a couple states and cities). Bullets are more expensive and harder to get these days. Plus not legal in your back yard in the city. Though if quiet as an air gun, no one would notice.
I've noticed with the air gun, hitting the steel target makes far more noise than firing the gun. (and I have the target trap wrapped in car sound deadening stuff or it would ring like a bell.)

afaik an air rifle isnt treated like an actual firearm. as far as adult signature required etc. i signed for the other day around a half ton of ammunition. UPS hates us sometimes.

glue a square of rubber mat against inside rear wall of target box

What? You didn't forward a box to me? CCI quiet 22's? Colibri's? CBee22's? CCI CB long's? Shorts? If you really don't want the stuff there, send it to me.

I have one of those welded heavy gauge 22 boxes. Outside lined with a few layers of the sticky back auto sound deadening material. I guess I can add a sheet inside where it plinks. It doesn't ring like a bell with the outside covered.
I have lots of leather from past costume projects. I was thinking of hanging a couple sheets of that as a curtain to slow things down before they hit the inside. I found so many deer and cow hides cleaning up the basement last month that I could have a couple in there for the rest of my life.

perfect!! .. if quiet is the aim .. then all good!  .. just to stop the "tUNK"

speaking of which ... years ago... .375 H&H on a benchrest with 220gn flat nose proj (meant for a .375 winchester but oh well) ..

150yards away on the range was a 8" round steel plate .. 1" thick ... like a big version of this http://www.bb-guns.org/browseproducts/Beeman-Metallic-Silhouette-Trap.HTML

Bang ... tuuuuUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG .. spun it round about 3 times and it 'rang' for about 5 seconds or so...

btw .. if you aint seen them before .. hope you like the little silhouette thingy... quite fun!! ... just beware of ricochets!!

speaking of ricochets keep this in mind. watch what youre shooting into. 

yeah that one is chronic!!!! ... even if its just the core coming back!!?!... .50's total proj weight up around 750gn if its FMJ .. the jacket being about 30% of that IIRC??

I would like a lever action Henry for 22short, 22long and 22LR that is really a collector's item for the nostalgia of it.

Anyone remember the Matel Shoot & Shell rifles from your youth? I remember making card houses and shooting them down with one of these.

Raccoons ate some Koi last night.

Well, something will have to be done to protect the defenseless fish.

...... STAKEOUT!!!!! ......
