well tom and i did some starling hunting the other day with our 2 guns in .177 and .22.Tom knows time been hard and i can't do any big game hunting right now. so we put out some bait and i killed the first one at 25yards with my 766 and tom got one that came down to have a look at the first one with his air force talon in .22 at 50 yards. then after 30 mins a crow came down on the bait at 50 yards. i could have taken the shot but since i drop my 2200 on the stock and had to glue it back on i did not know if i could make it. tom with his more powerful talon( shoots at 1250fps and it's a .22) kill that crow with a body shot. than 10 starlings and a squirrel came to the bait after a hour. 2 starlings were at 15-20 yards,3 were at 30, and 5 were at 50 yards and the squirrel we left alone(it beering season and the season was not open on them here). tom got his 1077 with it's 12 shot mag and i got my 766 and 2200 ready for some shooting( the .22 on the will kill them with any hit). toms 1077 has a red dot for fast shot at short range and my 2200 has a daisy 4x for long range shooting up to 50 yards. tom a better shot than me and he got off all 12 and got 7 of them and i fire my gun at the 50 yard shot and kill one. the 3 were left but they move back out to 50-100 yards, so toms talon with it's BSA 8-32x50mm was up. he did something that i have never seen before. he shot the one at 65 yards and it pass though it and killed the one at 100 yards. i was like "dam tom your gun make my gun look like a toy" he saids " well i paid 700$ with the scope for mine gun so it better shoot like that and it has the power of my ruger with 22LRs out to 100 yards" that day ended well with 12 starling,1 crow, 3 rats, and a sheephead that tom killed on the way home. i like to because he is a fish&game cop and he aways seem to find these good hunts like this one. we were hunting a food plot that had a corn field on it. the the guns use were a crosman 1077,766,2200 air force talon and toms glock 17(he use it on some wild dog as we were going back to his car. he fired at the ground near them).
