I have 2 scopes, who to use?

I have a:
-BSA 4.5-14x44mm FFP
-NcStar 10-40x50mm SFP

Im selling one of my rifles and dont know what scope to keep.
I like the NCstar cuz its bigger and has a crosshair thats Nice and visible, but again, I dont need 40x.

The BSA has a zoom better suited for airgun, but I cant get the crosshair to be Nice and visible in it, is much thinner than the other scope (thats probably a good thing) but when I look in the scope its fades away for me after a few seconds.

Im shooting mostly 30-50m but have targets out to 150m

Fx Maverick - regulator issue?

Hey everyone, wanted to post this and see if I could get any feedback.

This is front reg only, I follow Steve’s tuning guide to the T. Set front reg seat it adjust more if needed seat the reg. But it refills the plenum SOOO slow and it does this while shooting at well (refills very slow). I can never hear my plenum breathing ( which is one of the main reasons I wanted a FX in the first place, it just sounds badass).

It’s 49 degrees tonight here in rochester, not sure if that has something to do with it. It does seem to fill faster when it’s warmer but still can’t hear the plenum.

I have chronographed the gun and velocities seem consistent. Is this normal?

Thanks!

Sort of a personal 20 cal revival.

I haven't shot my blue R9 in months and months because I left all my 20 cal pellets at my other house 1200 miles away. I just received some 20 pellets for an incoming rifle. BTW never say you're done buying rifles 🫣.

Anyway I ran a few ten yard, five shot groups through the blue R9 today. I started at the bottom because it was last shot at fifty yards and I expected it to throw high. After the first sloppy group I dialed down ten clicks. Then another four clicks for the next group. Overall I'm happy to shoot it again and get the results that I got.

Accessories  SOLD Complete shoebox set-up and .22 pellets

Well all of my PCP's are gone. Only keeping an HW50 in .177 that I traded for. Anybody local interested in my .22 pellets and/or my shoebox compressor set-up?

ShoeBox F8 with filters and primary compressor (the Norge not the CAT partly shown in pic). Also have some spare rebuild parts (o-rings, belts, etc). The only issue with compressor is the high pressure cut off switch went up several years ago so I just disconnected it and keep an eye on it shutting it off manually. I've owned for about 8 years and never had any other issues with it. I also have a couple smaller regged tanks I will throw in.

$200 (obo) picked or meet near Abingdon or Middle River Maryland

Evol mini and some scientific shooting done today.

Got some shooting in today to prove the repeatability of the @americanairarmsofficial Evol Mini .22 !!! Along with how well I can shoot off the cuff at any moment, still got more practice to do.

This shooting was done in a little over a half hour. Each group is 1 mag, there is no cherry picking here,

5 groups at each distance.
1 mag on each target.
Phone calls incoming.
Uneven shooting table. (collapsible table suggestions welcome)
Weird winds.
A large cup of coffee at 430 pm.

This rifle is my all time favorite air rifle I have ever owned hands down. It has surpassed my love of Taipans and Hubens with ease. It's a masterpiece. A work of art. A surgical tool.

And that is why after some moving around I struck a deal on a .22 Evol HPS today.

Next one in line is going to be a new .30 Evol Paradigm in beautiful walnut setup for 100 yard bench rest.

Guess I better strip some more superduty trucks and make some more moves to get that one in my hands.

Long distance shooting fun

So I had a "redneck/hillbilly" thought for a few days, and finally put it to use last night. Sorry I dont have pics yet, I am at work and no access to my cell phone. I took a normal Dr. Pepper bottle, rinsed it and let it dry. Added a tbl spoon of flour. I drilled the cap to accept an automotive valve stem, cheap to buy at any auto store. I used a small 12v tire pump and added air, maybe 10-15psi is all, just till the bottle got firm to squeeze. Shake it up to get the flower to suspend in the air. Sit it at XXX range and shoot it. They make a nice little bang, and the flour gives you a visual. My daughter and I had a blast last night doing this. Here is the amazon link to the valve stems I used. I will say they are not back yard friendly if you live in a close neighborhood, but out in the sticks where I live it is an absolute blast.

Just to clarify regarding Hawke optics

Somewhere here or out in the vast caverns of the Web, I saw a comment that Hawke scopes with one-inch tubes are not springer rated; you need a 30mm tube.
I have a Hawke Vantage 207x AO with one inch tube and I reached out to Hawke a few minutes ago to clarify whether the scope is safe to mount on a nitro-piston Crosman. Here was the reply I just received.

Good Afternoon,

How would you rate my reply?

Chipmunks - pest or protected?

The big question - are chipmunks a pest species or a protected rodent in your state?

I own some land in New Hampshire. It’s usually loaded with chipmunks, they make for a great camping trip.

From what I can find, the chipmunk is a pest species, no hunting season, shoot as long as not violating town ordinance.

I live in NJ. Not even going to bother looking up the chipmunk here. No place to shoot freely anyway.
In looking up the neighboring state of Pennsylvania I see the chipmunk is a “protected mammal“. No legal season.

What about your state? Have you even bothered to look it up? Hunting license required?

When I Am Tempted To Buy Another Airgun....

I start thinking about the various accessories on my wishlists. I think about the gear that I'd like to upgrade or the various iterations of products I would like to try and compare them to those that I own or have already tried. This usually helps. Then I also remind myself that "you haven't shot your _________ in months. What are you going to do with that?" or "you bought this months ago and still haven't used it." This thinking usually helps. What works for you?

Spray & pray . . . .

I tried the full auto feature on my Sidewinder 30 for the first time and I guess surprised was the best way to describe the experience. It makes a hell of a racket, cycles faster than I expected and gives a pretty decent push from a standing position. Reminds me a bit of a Sig MP9, a rolling block 9mm I got to shoot a few years ago. The only thing missing was the brass flying everywhere. I know its not practical but it is pretty cool.

.25 Marauder regulated

A gun I prototyped for Benjamin some 5-6 years ago that’s 100% Benjamin product and no aftermarket. It never came to light because the new components for the 2021 Challenger needed to be engineered first. Well time moved on along with different outlooks moving forward. So I decided why not just bring it out for those interested. I finally found a way to do so without it being extremely expensive.

  • Question
AIR GUN ACTIVITIES.

I am currently looking for AIR GUN ACTIVITIES; I shoot for my mental therapy at my home range ( I have 70ft of shooting space ). I shoot when my mind gets overwhelmed when doing school, and in between hard assignments, I target shoot; this sharpens my focus. Then I go back and do a little more and then shoot again; by the time I get through half a tin, I have either finished or retained any concept I was studying.

But now I want to step up; I want to pest hunt, but I don't have the pest to shoot. I want to do a competition, and I have already missed one in Palmer, Ma ( it was on mothers Day. The misses would of whoop my a**). So before I get a job, I would like to join a gathering and have fun shooting and socializing. At this moment I have been going to AIRSOFT, such an exciting sport.

How can I find planned future events in MA and maybe as far north as New Hampshire and as south as Warwick, Rhode Island? I am also willing to go for pesting. So far, I have discovered one possible place in Connecticut, and NAG outside range will be opening soon, and I also need to buy a new rifle if I want to do this. The beautiful thing about Massachusetts is these trips are a top 2 hr drive. I am willing to make plans; thanks y, all.
