After the JSB, Defiant experiment, I sighted the Disco in for 50 yards and went hunting. It was an absolutely gorgeous, sunny, calm day. The Temperature was in the low 50's. Just perfect for slipping through the woods, and putting the sneak on the furballs.

I saw three, and got one. Once these guys get into the tops of some of the clusters of pines, there is just no spotting them if they don't want to be seen.

The one that I was able to take was actually coming down a tree, and when he saw me he froze in place upside down on the side of the tree. I got the Disco rested on the Stoney Point Bipod and quickly shot a range on him. It came back at 47 yards. I simply put the crosshairs on his head and squeezed off the shot. THWACK! Plunk, and he was on the ground. No flip, no flop, just lights out.

If you look closely at the picture, you can see on this guy, why they are called Tassel Eared Squirrels. He has some nice long ones on those big ears.

That blue thing going from the bolt handle down around the trigger guard, is my super duper bolt holder closer thingy. The only problem I've had with my Disco's is the bolt not being closed when I fire it on occasion. I guess in the heat of battle I bump it and it pops up out of the locked position. When the gun fires the bolt comes open and a blast of air hits me in the face. The pellet isn't even close to hitting what you are aiming at.

This solution works very well. These are not just ordinary rubber bands by the way. No sir these come to me from Phoenix, and are used to hold the plastic bag on the mornings newspaper. I'll be offering these hi-tech problem solvers for the bargain price of $19.95 each. They are available in a variety of colors. Order soon as quantities are limited. I think I only have two or three hundred on hand at this time.

Those are such cool looking squirrels! Compared to our yellowish, wire-rats, those look regal, proper and DEAD!!

I'm going out on Saturday to kill some stuff with my new MAC1 Discovery!! I'll bring a few rubber-bands, just in case!

Post some pictures Eric!!
I have been wondering if you had got your or not.

Nice pics Cliff!

I think it must be something about the way I carry and grip the rifle or something because I'm not aware of anyone else having this problem. It's not classy looking, but the rubber band sure works.

These are very regal looking squirrels. They definitely carry themselves with class.

Good luck on Saturday. Have a great time.

Thanks Ron. I'm heading out again on Friday. Going to check out a different spot about 5 miles from the house. News at eleven.

It's because you're not left handed Cliff like the better half of the world!

Now that was a left handed comment if I ever heard one.

I just put new tires on my truck yesterday Cliff, I'm one step closer to a western air rifle hunt, I may one day ask for a halfway decent geographical area to go to..(not your honey hole of course)!
It might take a me a few months to recover from the cost of putting four 17 inch tires on the gas hog..

I just put new Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo's on my 4Runner two weeks ago. I could have bought a nice new Swedish made PCP with what that cost.

Here's a shot of my ride. Nothing spectacular, but she's reliable, and a good ride on or off road. I get about 21 miles per gallon on the highway.

Heres a pic of my gas guzzler. I get about 15 or 16 on highway...about 11.5 in town.

Nice looking rig but you should have gotten a red one.

I have a RWS 17cal. It started shooting like a scatter gun. made sure all mounts were tight. Bought a new scope, cleaned it several times and it still won't shoot still won't shoot. Has anyone any suggestions.
Roy.

Is the gun tight to the stock? Have you switched pellets from when it was shooting well? Have you done anything different since it last shot well?
