I use these wipes - might be from the same company. Pre-moistened wipes - no washing necessary.

Check your local laws.

Yes, ever chance I get, but the scheduling and the weather have been challenging.

I print out the N50's from the national50 website - print them on 8.5x11 and tape them together - yields the same size target.

I originally bought the high flow Falx for another rifle and continue using it for my two HM1000Xs. I'm considering an Accipiter Sarissa and will get the moderate flow based on advice from the STO folks.

Yes, acceptably quiet. If noise reduction is your primary concern go for the STO Sarissa - either standard or Accipiter version.

Check out the STL (Silent Thunder Ordnance) line. I use the Falx on both of my HM1000X's - .25 and .30. https://www.silentthunderordnance.com/air

I am very happy with the Sightron SIII series of scopes. Made in Japan using Japanese glass. Several choices within this series from Sightron.

I always look forward to the Boerne N50 competition but the announcement on Tuesday left me little time to plan and fit it in to my schedule. I fully support this event and do understand the difficulties in getting it all pulled together. At one time it was supposed to be scheduled for the third...

hmmm - weather.com (The Weather Channel) predicts 10-20 mph for Boerne on Saturday.

All okay now. I think a good cleaning with the right stuff (OTIS 085) did help.

Trick I learned for small dropped items - take a flashlight, put it on the floor - shine it across the floor. Look closely as you sweep it side to side and you will probably see the item. Of course his assumes that you can get down on the floor to look!

I have a .25 and a .30 HM1000X and consider them to be among the best air rifles on the market! I replaced the tactical stock on the .25 with a Masterpiece Arms rig and love it. I agree that the grip is too small on the stock rig. I bought the .30 with the laminated stock thinking I just might...

Very Interesting! I use a small ultrasonic cleaner made for jewelry to clean JSB and FX pellets with no problem - BUT I haven't found the need to clean AEA pellets. They arer "perfect" right out of the tin. I've even practically stopped weighing the AEAs they are so consistent.

Budget, budget, budget...after years of using budget priced compressors I decided "I was worth it" and bought a Coltri MCH6 ICON. Very happy with it! BUT - the GX CS-4 or GX CS-4i are both the best in class for smaller, portable and lower cost compressors. Check them out - you won't regret it!
