Great shots on both of those critters! Man, those photos remind me that I need to get myself back out and get some myself one of these days. With Turkey season starting on March 31st I need to get out and make sure my air rifles are spot on. Are you going to go out for turkeys this season Crazyhorse?

When I picked mine up a month ago the new AO 1/2 md models had not made it to any retailers so I got it from Hawke directly. Hopefully plenty will be distributed by now.

Matter of fact did some scouting for turkeys today after squirrel hunting..no sign,but got more ground to cover tomorrow.My friend called last night (I hunt squirrels on his horse ranch) and he told me about a mountain lion on his property near one of his corrals..it was near dark said it was a good size cat..it finally took off after taking one more look at him..lol.Soooo, I'll be carrying my pistol out turkey hunting just in case as I'll not be that far from his ranch....definately taking the Mrod out on the turkeys..!!Great shots on both of those critters! Man, those photos remind me that I need to get myself back out and get some myself one of these days.

Thanks for the info...originally I was after the non-AO version which I ordered thru amazon on feb 18...but they(Amazon) say not sure it will get back in stock...When I picked mine up a month ago the new AO 1/2 md models had not made it to any retailers so I got it from Hawke directly. Hopefully plenty will be distributed by now.
