    N/A Tins with Slip-On Lids

    My last order of JSB .22 cal 18.13s came with nice screw on lids. It's so much better that I keep my empty tin and use them for my JSB 15.89s and tape the lid so that I can use a felt tip marker to write the correct pellet on it. So I think they are converting over but are using up their old...

    Benjamin Strange Marauder Accuracy Issue

    My vote goes to the hammer. Sounds like something is dragging the hammer when it gets into a certain position or something with the trigger. Because the odd shot is almost always about 5" low and the rest of the shots are so consistent, that odd shot must be coming out slow. I have the same...

    Finding YOUR Zero - shot by shot

    I thought we wanted two zeros. One say at 16 on the rise and one at 25 on the dropping arch. Like my PB, if I zero at 200 yards, I also have a zero at 25 or so. I still have to shoot the other ranges to check how high it climbs between the two zeros, etc.

    scope sighting is off

    I have checked my scope with the mirror method and my crosshair image is about a third of the way from center to the outside rim. Is it beneficial to center the scope, use adjustable scope mount (or shims) to get the POI as close as possible, then fine tune with the turrets? Would that help my...

    scope sighting is off

    My scope info says crank the windage all the way one way to the end. Crank it all the way the other way to the end while counting the turns. Go back the other way half the number of turns. Do the same for elevation. Is this also an acceptable way to find optical center?

    Is the Dreamline reliable? Good?

    Is the POI shifting problem solved with the Dreamline Classic? Also, does it suffer with "sticktion" or the first few shots at a lower fps then its shoots great, etc. which we hear a lot of with the FX airguns.

    Hill mk4 hand pump converted to hand booster pump

    I have to advise caution with this booster set up. The dessicant housing may not be designed to handle pressure. Pressurizing same could result in the housing failure that could send fragments throughout your garage at high velosity.

    Daystate New (to me) Redwolf is SHOCKING

    Nice shooting. Have you got a story to go with the hits on your target stand. LOL

    Adjustable Objective Scope Calibration

    Thank you all for your replies. Yes I have adjusted my eyepiece. So when calibrating, it doesn't seem like focus alone is accurate enough. Should I clamp the gun and put a tape measure at the distance and adjust for minimum cross hair movement at that distance?

    Adjustable Objective Scope Calibration

    Do you guys calibrate your AO Scope dials? I was shooting at 30 yards today with my Hawk Vantage Side Focus AO Scope set at 30 yards. I was using my Caldwell Lead Sled for target practice at my normal squirrel target range. The reason I ask this is that with my Airgun in the lead sled with...

    Coming back to Airguns after a couple years off.

    Welcome back. Nothing as nice as being able to shoot at home but looks like you found the next best place to shoot. Enjoy

    "HOT" bore groups opening up

    I think what Aaron says is real and it seems like no one is on board with that. I am trying to confirm my findings. I shot yesterday morning and shot was right on. I shot this am and shot was right on. I shot this afternoon to see if it is temp related due it is 60's in am and 90 F now and...

    "HOT" bore groups opening up

    I believe I am seeing the same thing with my Marauder. I have Gen 2 synrod .22 cal. with original equipment. ( no reg, factory valve,etc., LW barrel) I have been agonizing over 5/8" groups at 25 yds. I am shooting thru a Crony and have good consistent velosities with these groups. I finally...
