Got a chance to get out of the fire impacted areas and zero my @umarexairguns Surgemax Elite pellet rifle for an upcoming trip once the fires are under controlled. 103°F or 39.4C temperature and being away from the smoke for most of the day was one of those “no time like the present” to get it done. The Umarex SurgeMax Elite is .177 caliber pellet break action Turbo Nitrogen Technology (TNT) gas piston from Umarex that’s easy to cranks on, load and close. The scope is a 4x32 so it works well for targets within range. It’s a thumbhole design was easy to shoot if you’re used to pistol grips and the cheek to scope or sights if you wanted to use the iron sights is damn perfect and easy to shoot if you prefer one over the other. After getting it on target in the heat, I decided to plink a few cans and call it a day in the shade and chug some water and Gatorade to rehydrate. Lead pellets are reported to shoot at 1050fps (320mps) and alloy pellets at 1,200fps (365mps) so it will do the job. The two stage trigger is great, for those not used to it, with some time and practice will make you appreciate it even more especially if using it for hunting with it. I picked it up a little over two weeks ago and glad I finally got to take it out considering everything going on in my area with the mountains and forests shut down until they get the fires under control. I want to get a video done so you can see how much I like it. My bench rest was a pair of pants and wrapped around a gun case and rappel rope I keep in the vehicle for emergencies. Use what you’ve got. #umarex #umarexairguns #umarexusa #pelletrifle #airrifle #airrifles #airriflehunting #airrifleshooting #pelletgun #hunting #shtf #targetshooting #survival #survivalgear #177 #survivalist #prepper #preppers #prepping #rangeday #desert #shotshow2021 #bushcraftandprepping #shotshowmedia https://www.instagram.com/p/CFX-OJVJH_6/?igshid=ec4b2owr1v37
