There are some very nice break-barrel airguns out there that don't require the shooter to jump through hoops trying to figure out how to hold the danged thing so they can make a shot, one of which I would recommend is the Norica Omnia ZRS. The ZRS is an acronym for Zero Recoil System and...

Heck, when I was a kid, almost everything I shot at was something I shouldn't! :-) No, I wasn't quite that bad, since both of my parents were firm believers in corporal punishment, with the sentence for the worst of the worst infractions being 1) a green switch for my mother or 2) The Belt from...

No problem at all. I'm still a neophyte user on almost anything other than posts myself. Thanks for the suggestion; thanks to my wife last year for our anniversary, I did manage to score a VERY nice 1300KT-based carbine from the Custom Shop (probably my favorite shooter in .177) and was about...

That Steroid version on the bottom could be the best lookin' pumper I've ever seen. Good lookin' air rifles, and judging by the care they obviously get, I'm sure accuracy is dead on as well. Thanks!

My pleasure. That keep on keepin' on attitude surely will get you where you want to be. ;-) Good luck!

Sounds fantastic! Have any photos you wouldn't mind sharing with us? In my opinion, those original .177 and .22 caliber Sheridan and Benjamin air rifles were pretty much the very first higher quality and higher powered multi stroke pneumatics designed and priced for us regular folks (although...

@Trunion: I'm 68 and disabled and multi pumpers are my favorite airgun type. Like probably many of us, I have a few gnarly health issues, including some of the arthritic problems that can sneak up on us with age, but being able to do my usual 10 yard target shooting using less power -- rarely...

In .22 caliber, the best available, totally lead-free pellets I've found for hunting and/or pest control have turned out to be the domed Predator GTO and Crosman Red Flight pellets, in 11.75 and 16.7 grains respecitively (I also like the .177 versions, but generally don't use the caliber for...

I contacted the good folks at Gamo and asked if there were any plans to release a .22 caliber version of the Vapor 10X in addition to the .177 rifle, but unfortunately, the answer was no. Maybe if sales of the new air rifle are very good on release and other folks express an interest in a .22...

I just copy/pasted the blurb below from the Gamo website. The Vapor 10x sure isn't pretty, but if the release is for real, it will be a new variable pumper available those that enjoy the type. I'm on the waitlist. :-) Here's the partial advertisement copied from the Gamo website: Vapor 10X...

That is one uniquely good-lookin' stock! Hmm... all I'd need to do is copy it -- maybe mahogany or walnut or some other equally beautiful hardwood -- chop it off up front for forearm separation, lovingly hand finish the pieces to perfection, carefully plug in and secure all the business bits...

My beautiful, accurate and easy-charging C2023 is my favorite multi-pumper too, although the .22 Seneca Dragonfly Mk2 offers a few more foot pounds of energy at max pumps, if that's an important requirement for prospective buyers. Those coupl'a-few extra foot pounds do come with a fairly hefty...

Any of y'all have any personal experience with the inexpensive .22 caliber Beeman 10613 gas piston breaker? What I'm most interested in, of course, is accuracy, but I'm also somewhat concerned about how much force is necessary to cock it. I'm a bit gimped up now as I'm approaching my dotage...

Howdy all: I have two Drifter carbines and set one aside in a rifle case about eight or nine months back. It was moved to a closet and unfortunately, I pretty much forgot all about it until today, when my wife (who'd moved it to the closet and basement) mentioned it. She brought it back...

Howdy folks! I've been trying to find someone willing to do some mods to one or more Crosman variable pumpers (specifically a 362, 2289 Drifter and possibly another 2023 Anniversary Edition carbine) for me, but so far I've not had a single reply to emails I sent out requesting help. It doesn't...
