Airgun Shooting bench?

I have 2 stable tables. I could easily make a solid table from wood, but too permanent for me.
Where the stable table comes in handy is if you want to move the table. It disassembles in seconds, and can be easily moved. Doesn’t happen often, but it does , for me.
One has a plastic top, the other wood, which I have to keep covered from moisture. They have a decent appearance. Good luck, Crow.
I had two, gave the lighter one with plastic top away. I simply did not have a place for two. The br model has a wood top and each leg has a leveling adjuster which I needed due to a not so level area where it must sit. I do notice it is much heavier and sturdier than the earlier model.

DNT Optics price increase

and if they don't?
I guess we will be pleasantly surprised. But in my experience, many companies like to price things based on "what the market will bear".
See, this is the thing. There is tons of studies, empirical data based on real examples of countries imposing broad scale tariffs over years and years. Undisputed in academics. Will there be a handful of businesses not taking advantage? Sure. However, the other 95% will. But somehow we still want to “hope” that it won’t happen to us. It will though. I guess humans really want to believe what they either fear or hope to be true… anyway, I’m drifting waaaay too far away from airguns so tapping out :)

First shots with the new Hawke Sidewinder 8-32X56

My first quality scope was a Sidewinder 6x24x56 SFP I purchased used 7 years ago. Mounted it on my Boss & it remains there til this day (my favorite gun & scope). Though I'm not original owner Hawke serviced it for free a couple years ago after I had a mishap. Great scope, great service imho.

N/A  My best 23 yard group....today...pretty good.

Most are afraid to try. I shoot my Diana 54 in .22 at 100. Goal is 5 shots at 1 inch. I have had back to back 1.5. I have had 4 cutting a hole several times but also 1 2 to 3 inches away. Tough to get conditions that will work. Come summer I will get to an old quarry, set up before daylight and hope to get a quit half hour or, so. I shot about 40 matches last season, not one in calm conditions. Windy and the big problem......Very switch. Wind wears the flags out.
We're thinking alike, but I'm going for the Superdome. 😁

Vector Veyron vs Vector Hugo

I've done really well with Vector scopes and have been using them for years. Mine are Taurus and Paragon. Recently I got a Veyron. It's ok, but I didn't think it was as clear.
You likely got a vector that just barely passed QC, they usually are super clear throughout their entire line. But sometimes one slips though the cracks.

FX DRS .22 for NRL22?

Ahhhh…. Common sense in today’s world. Surprising, but welcomed. Thanks for the info. 😎

Thinking about this, that's the energy of a "standard velocity" rimfire round (subsonic). High velocity rounds would exceed that. So I wonder if they're also going to restrict high velocity rounds this season (they were allowed in the 2025 season). The 2026 rules have not been published quite yet, but we got a preview of the changes during the live show last night.

Honestly though, you would shoot a high velocity round at your own detriment. They are not very accurate to distance.

N/A  Umarex Markpoint opinion on and a look inside

SO COULD THE TRIGGER BE IMPROVED
YES
first off, the 2 sears are very well made, they are thick and smooth high quality piece
terminality
upper sear
lower sear
trigger bar
changes
the upper sear had its contact point reduced 0.8-1.00mm
the trigger bar had a drill end of 1.67mm added with epoxy
the grip safety had the internal pin removed so it no longer stopped the trigger bar
all contact points plus got Ultimox 226 applied
the trigger pull is firm but breaks crispy vs the hard pull that was from the factory

so was this a waste of time on a cheap pistol YES-NO-MAYBE
THIS IS WHAT A TINKERER DOES
now i spent hours at this
my first trigger bar lengthening was 1.98mm so that .31mm made all the difference
now with the trigger mod and seeing it is easy to cock it would be a great youth pistol BUT the sights have to be addressed and i think a weaver mount and some epoxy and a reflex sight would do that

Hull Cartridge in the UK


They ship to us. I have bought several parts from them and had them shipped to Alabama. Shipping cost are quite expensive.
Thank you for that information.

American Air Arms  AAA Evol question

I am really just wondering if anyone has heard that some of the Evols specifically the 15" is not going to be made. Or if the replacements may be coming out soon
Tom confirmed at the end of December on HAM that the 15” Evol will continue exactly the same as the old version, except it will have an externally adjustable reg

Daystate  Black Wolf

So I built a rubber mulch pellet trap this morning and messed around with my Blackwolf a bit. I had some luck with group improvements with the regulator at 130 and power around 16. I only have room for a 20 yard range so I'm not reading too much into it until I can get back to 50 yards at the range. But at least I'm getting more shots per fill, and having fun as well.

I took the gun apart to degas the bottle. I don't think I had to but the manual said to, so I did. I also took the barrel off just to check things out. I couldn't get the shroud completely off because I didn't have a tool for the end cap.

One big surprise was that the laminate stock was very light when I took it off. Shocking, really. I didn't weigh it though.

I'm going to leave the regulator setting in place until I get a chronometer, and just experiment with different power wheel settings for fun.

One question that I have, maybe someone here can help me with...

I took the fill valve all the way off after degassing the bottle, just to make sure all the air was out. After I was done messing around and filled it back up, it makes a little balloon-like squeaking sound while gassing up. Everything else seems fine, operationally, just that sound. Did I screw something up?
When you lower the regular to 130 bar, how many shots are you getting from 250 bar fill to 200 bar fill? I noticed when the regulator is set at 145 bar stock from AOA, my air full drops from 250 bar fill to 200 bar fill in only 11 shots ( one magazine)

FWB  FWB 65

The 65 and Izzy are two pretty awesome pistols! Years ago, I made the choice which to keep and went with the FWB. Which I still love, mind you - but now really wish I'd just hung on to the IZH, too. 🙁

If you're an old cuss with creaky joints like me, here's a trick for cocking the FWB springers. The traditional method is: hold it upright - grab lever overhand - pull sideways, like so:

But I find it's much easier on wrists and elbows to: hold it palm up - grab lever underhand - pull up, ta dahh:

Lefty here with a righty FWB , I actually hold the body of the gun in my right hand and pull the lever with my left "flatening" the gun open across my chest . Very easy leverage .

RAW Rapid  Sekhmet - SmartGauge 28 Pro - Leaking ?

One last thing, I think Most of my SEKHMET Smart Gauge 28 Pro / RAW HM1000x leak issues were created by me :eek: , as I did not provide enough stock clearance for the larger gauges to comfortably fit. When pressurizing the gun, the lack of space created unwanted pressure on the V Block and regulator O-rings causing minor leaks.

My test was to pressurize a gun with the most issues, out the stock ....... and then place in the stock at 250 bar.
The pressurized action didn't want to fit well, requiring me to crank on the stock screw to get it to conform o_O .

Hence, I went back and removed an adequate amount of stock to fit the action, requiring little pressure to align stock screw.
I can now see a little daylight between the gauge and the stock when full tightened.

Nothing like shooting yourself in the foot ............ AGAIN !!!!!

Filling hose stuck on fill probe even after line is vented

Thanks, so whenever you fill do you have to also screw in & out when done or do you leave it in? This is a weird one. Starting to think that non-standardized fittings might have something to do with the problem too somehow. If you leave it in & need a magnetic dust cover for it PM me your address. I'll send you a couple.
Gerry
Thanks. Ya I will Most likely leave it in. I have a few fittings so will try them and see if it makes a difference.

If you have a dust cover that would be great. I was actually looking for some options. I’ll send you PM.

Umarex  Gauntlet SL30 tuning

I was just about to buy a G30sl because they are supposed to be incredibly accurate for a budget pcp.From what i can see in YT videos looks like MOA groups at least up to 100yds.Now i’m second guessing that over a Barra 250z for my 100yd plinker🤨
Ya I don’t know anything about a Barra, but I’d choose the Barra… And from my experience pcps are finicky.. I would save up and buy something high end, something quality. I’m very happy with my FX airguns
