I have the same one Al, I agree the scope is junk, I just eyeball what I want to hit. Makes short work of rats. And glass...don't hit glass lol

HAHAHA WWW mine didnt come with a scope, I put it on after i found it in a junk drawer LOL. I never put it on a $50 daisy... (imagine just how cheap it really is LOL) I sighted it in after like 50 shots... it needs to be sighted in again I keep missing the target LOL. I will do that one of these days if the wind ever stops blowing HAHA! I can see the green dot in the scope and have to line it up with the crosshairs to be accurate, when its sighted in of course. its a pretty tough and well built pellet gun. hollow point ammo is cheap.

Mine came with one, maybe NOT the same gun. Looks identical though. Can hardly see through it, it gives me a headache to try. Richard uses the scope but he also misses kill shot 1/2 the time. Not cool

Its not global warming... Its global weirding. No rain or its deluge. In 2008 every culvert under the 401 from Kingston to Montreal was widened. The city of Paris is using aqueducts built by the Romans; well now they're getting flooded with crazy rains. In summer (here in Canada), daytime temps are the same but night temps are rising, this messes up a lot of wildlife. My cousins in Europe near Prague live beside a ski hill opened in the 1850's... The last ten years... 7 years no snow. In Aspen Colorado from 1972 to today they have 4 weeks shorter snow season.
Talk to your local roofer: ashphalt roof shingles used to last 25 years... Now they last 15 as there are more winter freeze/thaw cycles.

Talk to farmers, weather is more unpredictable than ever: twice in the last ten years we made our first cut of hay in Sept instead of June due to rain cycles. That's weird.
Hurricane Sandy: the biggest to hit the east coast in recorded history; it was 1100 miles wide!

That's what global warming is doing.

I think it's Big Oil so we have to buy more fuel for our furnaces . Luck

Its a Crossman WWW, best $100 i spent on a gun. it will blast a hole in 3/8" plywood and lodge itself in any other wood. lol.

No doubt Baron! I remember as a kid swimming in Lake Huron one year during March Break, there were ice burgs way out there but the shallows were warm. heck I might be able to skate in my back yard in April. Do you think its a climate shift? I understand the science behind it... maybe were heading for an ice age. I think were due.

stay warm!

That ice age prediction was an early 1970's prediction that was written once and repeated dozens of times. Global warming: i love these guys "oohh its getting warmer" yeah BUT you get more wacky late spring early autumn frosts. How do ya grow a crop with that? I heard Jeff Rubin (look him up on youtube and books) talk about the clay belt in northern Ontario for farmland. So i did some research: in the 1950's 130,000 acres of tillable land under plow; today 30,000 acres (so lots of potential to reclaim it). Since 1980 their frost free season has grown by 4 weeks so when I saw a friend in New Liskeard in September it was like "what? Corn and soybeans here?" But instead of winter that stays frozen till spring...It melts and refreezes causing water puddles and severe frost damage to overwintering plants: i.e. Winter wheat, alfalfa, etc.

I think the future is crops with irrigation, or better yet greenhouses so you can control the plant. There's even a guy in Iowa that grows oranges and lots of funky dwarf trees in half barrels: and he moves them in or out of the barn w his tractor to control the plants from severe cold, early or late frosts, too early bud break, etc and people freak out to visit his "pick your own" place.

We actually learned at school about the ice age coming, perhaps it was before we all got SUV's?

Never mind guy in Iowa, there is a young couple in Renfrew with a market garden and they grow peaches under cover, have been for several years now.

Peaches: yep they grow here if you treat it like a hedge and trim it low. They are putting them in as hedges around montreal. Green barn farm / windmill point farm (same people) has them as well as chums (cherryxplum) plumcots (plum x apricot) and lots of other funky trees and shrubs.

I've got pigeons in our pole barn shop....stinkers don't come in for food, none there but they are digging in the insulation where the plywood hasn't been put up yet, (an ongoing project)....trying to nest I guess but really making a mess and ruining the insulation....was wondering about shooting them inside too....also didn't want to put holes in tin
