Since I have a small backyard I got this for casual plinking and occasionally sniping some mice. It's a Talon SS PCP air-rifle, made in Texas but customized by myself. Equipped with NVG - excellent for mice sniping at night  Prepared for long-range shooting  Prepared for short-range mice hunt  Accessories  |
Per public demand... 30 yards at night - never knew what hit it...  30 yards at night - second was apparently too curious and came to see what happened to the first  I let this one go - it was a flying squirrel  This one was in the bird feeder without invitation  Hit in the eye @ 15 yards  Enough, I believe...  |
   Outstanding! |
I have been wanting one of those!!! Very cool set up  I guess its always going to be a want

The Talon SS out of the shelf is not very bad $$$. (~$450 at StraightShooters) There's a newer model based on the Talon, Condor but you pay more $100 for it. Problem is when you start adding the accessories (scopes, etc.) and doing some custom jobs, as always of course, and things get more expensive. Tim at MAC1 is an excellent source for mods and an oustanding airgunsmith. Air Force made several mods on the Talon and pratically released the Condor based on market/customers feedback do you should not need to make too many mods yourself. However, the rifle literally asks for a 24in barrel. So if you get the Talon you almost must spend the extra $$$ on the longer barrel. But then you have two rifles in one. The barrel is very easy to change. Just an allen wrench and a couple minutes.  |
