    Stoeger Stoeger X20S - Keep & Fix or Chuck It?

    I put maybe 2-3 shots through it and that was it. Sounded horrible. Now we know why - no lube and parts were just dragging and binding

    Stoeger Stoeger X20S - Keep & Fix or Chuck It?

    Color me surprised and impressed as well. Have no idea what it would do at 20 yards, but it’s going to take a better scope to figure that out. Come on, you gotta tell us which one you don’t like now lol

    Stoeger Stoeger X20S - Keep & Fix or Chuck It?

    Well, I guess I get to eat my words. Tore the gun down. It did not have a broken spring or a trashed seal. They must’ve put that gun together on a day where they were rationing grease at the Chinese factory. There was absolutely none on the spring and just enough on part of the piston to...

    Stoeger Stoeger X20S - Keep & Fix or Chuck It?

    That I cannot attest to….he said he could maybe get 2 shots touching and then would get some flyer that was inches away from the other two. Said he also got a pellet sampler package from Pyramyd and said no pellet made the groups any better. Not sure if it was the gun or him…but thinking about...

    Stoeger Stoeger X20S - Keep & Fix or Chuck It?

    So my dad has a Stoeger X20S .22 that he says he can't get it to group worth anything, so he gave it to me to take a look at. Just cocking it sounded awful and the one shot I put through it sounded equally as bad. He did put a GRT trigger in it years ago, but that was it. After doing some...

    Crosman 1701P 1/2-20 Threaded Adapter?

    TKO was a ton of help. He built me a 6.5" slip on moderator and it's great. Super quiet now and still ridiculously accurate.

    Traditional Rifle New Air Arms TX200

    This is a new TX200 full length .177, right hand rifle, with a nicely figured walnut stock. Bought this locally from a guy who won this at an FT match. However, he only shoots PCP’s, so he sold this to me for $650 a couple months ago. I pulled it out of the packaging and put it on my indoor...

    N/A What are some good quiet rifles?

    I have two Taipan Veteran compacts - one in .177 and the other in .22. You can get away without a moderator, but I have moderators on them for ultimate silence. All you hear is the action and the smack of the pellet.

    Air Arms A Conundrum - What to Do with 3 TX200's

    That's a thought. The third does have a decent walnut stock thats been finished with Royal London oil. But it is much lighter in color than the other 2 stocks. Not bad, just different. Not sure if having the old style stock on a new action would help or hurt if I decided to part with it for...

    Air Arms A Conundrum - What to Do with 3 TX200's

    But do you actually use all three of them? Or do you have a preferred go-to?

    Yes, the last one is .177 as well.

    Air Arms A Conundrum - What to Do with 3 TX200's

    I HAVE REVISED THIS POST, SINCE A MODERATOR SEEMS TO THINK I WAS TRYING TO SELL ON HERE, AND I ABSOLUTELY WAS NOT. SOOO, ANYWAYS.... Well, I have managed to find myself with an acute first world problem - I have managed to acquire 3 TX200's in about a 2 month time period and now going "what do...

    What mount or what red dot are you using that has worked for you? The astigmatism in my eyes can make using irons / peeps difficult to use at times and this is very appealing.
