Mine is the Maco 5 element, not that it's the best out there, but it's the only one other than the Hygain LongJohn that I've used for working DX. My Maco has been up on the tower now for 24 yrs and still going strong. The Hygain was up 24 yrs before removing it.

I also heard him calling, but was doubtful if it was real, so I just listened.

Nice! These air rifles are really gaining popularity now days, lots of up grades. I haven't looked yet, but what is the make? Is it a LCS? Where is it made? I have really enjoyed my 25 cal. FX Crown over the last 4 yrs, it's really accurate out to 100 yds also. I haven't run any slugs through...
