Finally got my hog

Just rolled in from Texas so I've been away for 4 days. According to the local news I was watching at the ranch, I was expecting my house to be laying on it's side and I would need a boat to get to it when I got back???? Turns out I have three small limbs down in my yard and my pool has almost 35 leaves in it. ???

I went to try out my new Dennis Quackenbush 308 big bore airgun on a pig. It works!! 28 yards shot at just after dark with a red LED spot light mounted to the scope.

It was hiding in the woods waiting for us to leave the area after spreading out corn.

To make a long story short we hadn't even planned on hunting that night, we were just spreading corn for the next night. They surrounded us and we hid behind the Polaris waiting on one to get brave enough to come out. When it got dark I took this pose

The the pig took 128 grains of lead between the eyes

It's a good thing too, didn't see another pig the next three days. I think they are still running!


I just want to say that this is the nicest airgun I have. It is serial# 238 and I got it used through Henderson and Mike in Hawaii. Other than a minor scratch it is perfect. Except I noticed it has a very slow leak somewhere. Who do I sen it to and get that part fixed. I freaking love it!!!

Should go well....

With your favorite barbecue sauce.

Could be a little piece of trash making your leak.
Check it with soapy water at the nipple.
If your a DIY type there is a easy to replace o ring in the front if that is where it's leaking.
If you don't want to mess with it send it to Dennis.

Mine was converted to a Foster fitting for fill so he had me put a balloon over the barrel and the fitting. Neither one leaked. So we boiled it down to me not knowing just how much air this big bore uses. Also since it set up for so long my gauge on the fill adapter was lying to me for a second until it overcame the valve spring and was actually putting air into the gun.

Now I slowly open it and let it settle before opening a little more and can then hear the air going into the gun. I fill it slowly and all is good. Live and learn I guess. All I know is that it shoots very good and got me my first hog with an airgun.

This weekend I will be trying it out to 75 yards at a Buddies place with several weights of slugs to see which ones it like the best.

Question:

Which slug does your bone stock DAQ 308 like? I have 7 sizes to chose from from Robert V and I'd really like to find it early.
