I personally don’t know what those features are. These fliers you described be could just as easily come from inconsistencies in the pellets or loose bits of lead working their way down the bore.

I now shoot rifles ambidextrously and favor left because it’s my better eye. Writing, hockey, sports, etc I’m righty. Except frisbee, which I’m ambi but favor left.

Diopters are shockingly accurate with the right combination of sights and target

If it’s the precharged version then Anschutz stopped providing the part years ago and the polymer valve seat has probably crumbled. I have a modified version of the 2002 CA and Allen Zasadny retrofitted a valve from a Steyr. I do not know if he will do that for any 2002CA.

Prices will definitely go up. Even Crosman pellets are made overseas. That should help the used market but if everyone is struggling financially it won’t matter.

Take them in for core dollars and use that to buy pellets.

I’ve gone back and forth. Technically my first gun is a Crosman multipumper and my first airgun of my own is a Diana 34. Then I got into an Air Arms Pro Elite, Daystate Hunstman, etc. This year I added a @Nitrocrushr tuned TX200 and a @Motorhead tuned Thomas FT so I’m clearly committed to...

Cool wildlife. Just make sure your shots clear through so he doesn’t eat a pellet

The skirts are nice and thin so if your resizer pushes the dented skirts back out then that could be helpful. My .30 RAW shot them decently well on Saturday but shame on me I forgot to bring my normal JSB 45s for comparison. (It was not dead calm that day)

Pretty much all Huntsmans are excellent. Very well made and not over complicated. There is a lot of value in a PCP that doesn’t overcomplicate things. I find that more reliable and accurate although the downside is tuning them is more laborious. My answer to that is to have a professional do...

Samples will show what's possible with a given pellet. It may also not entirely show what's possible if the batch isn't one of the best. Additional lots may not perform as well but gaining an idea of which pellets to invest remains very valuable. I recently found my Thomas FT really seems to...

I don’t know if it’s tin or antimony and if it really matters I can try again and hope to find a setting where the PMI gun shows the element in that remainder. Whatever it is, it’s not much.

Joystick rests should have a tension adjustment so that it will stay put without you holding it there.

H&N 99.63 Pb / .37 Sb JTS 99.87 Pb / .12 other JSB 99.99 Pb AEA 99.77 Pb / .22 other I didn’t bother to dig around the PMI gun settings but I assume the “other” in the JTS and AEA is antimony. If anyone else does this beware that whatever you use to hammer the pellet flat will contaminate the...

No I don’t wonder about it. Resale on used airguns never approaches new prices - maybe 70% of new in the best case - so when you consider margins and risk that’s the starting price for a retailer to make a margin.
