I would agree with the one who said the choice moves around at times. I don't see me getting rid of my Bantam Sniper HR or my AR Challenger HFT.

I have mounted the SW and shot it on one of my .22 Royales, and will ammend my first impressions slightly. The scope is pretty clear. It is a bit clearer than a very good Airmax. After much adjusting of the ocular lens and getting parallax properly adjusted, the image quality is somewhat...

I've been trying out 100 yard shooting with my pellet rifles and having only one 4-16X scope, and normally using something 10x or 12X, I thought the memorial day sales offered a chance to have something with a bit more zoom. So I ordered the 6.5-20X44 Hawke Sidewinder, and I'm kind of let...

You make a good point about the FX. The Royale 400 is an absolutely fantastic rifle, likely FXs best effort. I have two in 22, one late model with external port adjuster and factory reg, and one early model that came Un-reg'd, but I added a HUMA and it's my favorite and the one I used above...

I buy mostly used airguns and in the process, get a lot of, shall we say, "less than desirable" scopes. A while ago, I bought a second FX Royale in .22, and on board, was one of "those" scopes. A Centerpoint 4-16X40 scope. Upon opening the box, I immediately noted the scope, took it off and...

I have on the occasion of a calm day shot 2-1/4" groups at 100 yards with my.22 BRCK Sniper, using 18gr jsb pellets. It was my first go at 100 yds and I posted the results here. Just the other day I shot one of my FX Royale 22s at the same distance resting off my truck bed again shooting at a...

First, you'd have to define addiction. I only have an airgun once or twice a day. I don't have to have it though. Just because I hide my packages containing pellets and scopes isn't significant. It's also self sustaining, the recycle value of empty tins pays for more pellets! I see no problem.

I think I have 10 pcp rifles. I usually rotate them every few weeks. I keep thinking I'll let some go but it hasn't happened yet. I was just thinking the other day, which was my favorite, and couldn't pick one. My BRCK is my 100 yard gun, I'm working on a Royale for 100 yards too. I have...

Well, I'll drag out one of my Royales later today and see how they like a bit higher speed. Thanks for the heads up.

Is the Flag stock dipped or molded ? It's beautiful!

I'd like to know what the difference is between a good and bad one. I don't blame the retailer, as they can only sell what they've been given.

I recently bought this rifle from Wolfmangreg (great guy! Thanks Greg!). It is laser accurate, and today I thought I'd run some shots over the chrony. First thing I learned is my elcheapo Chinesium chrono has lost it's accuracy by around 50 fps, but oh well. I wasted a bunch of shots on that and...

Taking it easy today and thought it would be a good time to give JTS pellets their very first try. I bought a batch of .22 pellets earlier from Pyramyd and the Brocock was calling. My Bantam Sniper is super accurate, even a very small change in groups size from different brands of pellets says...

I just wish manufacturers would all publish oring sizes. It just seems egregious to hide such info. A lot of manufacturers do publish and I respect them and lean more toward their airguns when buying.

Honestly, the factory mags being called junk is giving them something. I couldn't bring myself to just throw them away, but I can tell you, they'll never be back in the gun as long as I own them. I keep telling myself that the Notos itself is amazing, so having mag problems, isn't a big deal...
