Two weeks ago I was at Bass Pro shop in Houston and got a 1000 with a scope for 75 bucks! i was looking at all sorts of guns at@ 185 to 300. I walked away and on the end of the ailse were winchester 1000 with a wood stock and scope for this price. They have a smooth stock as opposedto the "engraved" of the one on disply going for 185, but had the same specs and scope. it is a kick ass rifle. i put @ 1000 pellets through it and have destroyed a crossman pellet trap at 20 yrds. After ensuring i could hit the gammo resettable squirrel target 50 consecutive times, i tried it on the real thing. i have squirrels in my attic and after paying 800$ to have them trapped and humanely escorted off the premasis last year, i resorted to this this year. so far i have got 17 of them. there are still more. each was dispatched with one head shot. longest "twitchin thing was a 8 secs. This gun rocks as a target shooter and is a humane dispatcher if you shoot accurately. i always shoot some paper first as ive had to tighten screws on stock and scope to ensure accuracy. Once "on" this is a great secret.

I am glad to hear about your progress with the squirrels. Our neighborhood used to have all sorts of problems with them chewing their way into the houses. Seems that a years worth of lead poisoning is keeping them at a distance now.

The D/W is one of the most underrated guns on the market. It does have the nice side effect of being able to pick them up at a good price though.

Take care.

I just got a 1000sx right before Christmas, as my first air rifle. My wife told me that I can't shoot the squirrels with my Galil or M4, not even with the Glock, for that matter.

Total squirrel tally, 2 confirmed and planted, 2 hits with "screaming run-away-to-die" gives me 4 down. I only started shooting the little tree rats after they ate into my soffits on my house.

I love this rifle.
