Thanks for the response. I'm very new to PCP/air rifles, so I'm not quite sure how to tear into this rifle. I have the manual (file:///Users/gregmcqueen/Downloads/Manual%20Umarex%20Gauntlet%20Canada%202252608%2004R22.pdf) but not seeing anything about removing the action/gaining access to the...

I have looked all over online, watched a bunch of different Gauntlet videos, but have been unable to find any mentions of this... I purchased a Gauntlet (MKI) used, and the cocking bolt is super lose and sloppy, so much so that just tipping the rifle to the cocking (right) side, the bolt will...

Great, thank you :)

I did, and referenced some of the notes. I'm unsure how to dig into the trigger area - not only new to the forum, but new to airguns in general. I'm not trying to be thick, but I simply don't know what I don't know. And when you say watch a Taipan video on youtube, which video. The only videos...

Old thread, so sorry if the preferred method is to start a new thread - not sure with this forum, since I'm very new here. But, I just purchased a Taipan Veteran Long .25, second hand, and am curious about the safety. I can easily push it forward about 1 out of 3 times, then the others, I have...

@bubbapearson you'll be semi-happy to hear your advice pushed me in the direction of a human operated rifle. I gave the Daisy 753S (single pump) a try, and while fun to plink, it seemed dangerous after it ricocheted two rounds back at me from a simple aluminum can.. dangerous, I then replaced it...

Hopefully you're able to enjoy a little less winter than you were up in New England? I have to say 6 months of winter, 5 months of rainy/humid crap, and one month of okay weather doesn't come easy in Maine.. I miss Colorado hot and dry - but like you, had to settle for what the misses wanted.

Thanks for the suggestion on the targets, didn't even think about that portion of the shooting, was just going to use paper targets, but I'm guessing that becomes wasteful if you're shooting a lot, where a reusable system like you've posted would be better in the long run. And yes, I just...

1 - I'm not sure there are any clubs in Maine, I tried doing a few Google searches, but only thing that really pops up is gun ranges and gun clubs (non-air). Is there a member map somewhere on the forum? One of the car forums I'm on has a map showing approximately where members reside. 2 -...

Totally makes sense, I've seen some pretty shady sellers over on a tractor forum I'm on, I'll make sure to do a bit of investigative work (as much as I can) when looking in the classifieds - thanks for the heads up :)

The Royale is definitely on my radar - looks like they're special order when looking at new, not sure what wait times look like, maybe I'll stumble upon one in the used market. And that Boss looks awesome!

Looks like the Maximus is out of stock everywhere, maybe a discontinued item? As for the Gaunlet, how is the sound on it, again, I really want something to be as quiet as possible, just so I don't startle neighbors. Thanks, Greg

Thanks for the detailed post and a thoughtful response. Good insights and something for me to ponder on - seems like if I can score a good deal on a PCP, then I should also consider something like you've mentioned. Since I'm not a competition shooter, nor do I need to hit a target several times...

Just watched your videos, wild how silent and deadly PCP air rifles are - as mentioned, I'm wanting to find some childhood enjoyment, and the last bb-gun I fired had to be pumped up 30 times, had almost no power, and was 2-3x as loud as your videos sound - crazy what 25 years can do ;) I think...

I don't know actually. I assume pellets would be more for target shooting, and slugs for hunting? I may take a shot at a pest (mouse or similar) in the future, once I know how to hit a target, but not my primary goal - mostly looking for something fun to do while outside and no other...
