    Garmin crony?

    Love my Garmin chrony. Have literally shot +-2500 rounds using it to measure fps and can categorically say it has not missed one yet. Battery life is good for a long day at range and easy to charge in car on my way to range if needed. Setup is almost instant, take it out of bag, unfold the...

    N/A Choose One Gun Please

    AA - quality, less points of failure, sublime shooters, consistent FX - More versatile, good looking, live by the seat of your pants brand I would not be able to decide, probably would go with FX, purely because I am comfortable supporting their failures(easy to repair\service) with added...

    Air Arms would like to know - Do you remember your first air rifle?

    1971 - Gecado 23. 5000+ pigeons\doves, 200+ Starlings, 15+ feral cats. Lived on a huge poultry farm, so plenty of pigeons\doves. Optics - NONE, just good old iron sights.

    JTS 25.39 why so fast ?

    Before you open a tin write with a permanent marker on bottom side of tin the pellet weight. Similar to what H&N do with their slugs, weight and .217\.218 is only on bottom of tin.

    Garmin Xero C1 Minimum Range

    I have not shot a pellet or slug or bullet with mine indoors at close range, so cannot answer directly. However I have tested with a rubber band, pulled tightly over tip of finger then released, fired directly over Xero into a wall about 2 meters away. Xero reads it every time within 2 meters...

    .22 VS .25 Slugs, What's your choice and why?! The Ultimate Poll

    Well, only allowed up to .22 without firearms license. Much easier to get a .50 BMG license than .25 cal air rifle. 🥴

    Are you a tuner , just love sending lead only or bit of both?

    Tuner, tuner to the core of my being. As soon as I get my rifle shooting with something really good, I find some new pellet\slug and start again...... and again. Not big into competition shooting, rarely hunting, just want to be alone on the range with some new projectile trying to find a...

    Zeiss

    That is the scope I have on my FX Mav. I do not shoot HFT, so cannot comment as to its suitability other than it is a heavy scope, not something I would want on top of a freehand held rifle. I would rather go for a fixed power 10x or 12x, maybe a 16x,

    FX Wildcat Mk3 + H&N Mk2 slugs = Magic

    HP 2 are made with softer lead, deeper hollow point, expand easily. Older version are hard, penetrate well but with much less expansion. Both shoot equally good in my Maverick. IMHO older version for shooting gongs etc. and HP 2 for hunting, unless shooting tough critter's then maybe use...

    FX Has anyone been able to get their FX to shoot slugs MOA at 100 yards?

    Superior @ 1:24, I find this liner best overall, including and up to 30gr H&N HP 2 slugs, I don't shoot heavier than 30gr. As a side note, I find the 27gr H&N slugs to have a higher BC than 30gr H&N slugs, measured purely by POI on target at distance compared to what Strelok would say I need...
