Interesting thread! I'd like to start swaging my own ammunition so that means slugs, not pellets. I have a couple of .22 caliber slug capable airguns but I'm casually considering a .25/700mm Leopard for that duty. Part of the reason for a 700mm barrel is that I have an Impact, Panthera, and...

Bought a number of airguns recently and have settled down to enjoy shooting them. Not really looking for another one at the moment.

For my springers I'd been using a duct-seal pellet trap for years with no concerns, no problems. I was doing some velocity testing on my first PCP and didn't fully appreciate how much more powerful they were. I had the PCP on a rest, carefully aligned with the sensors of the chronograph and...

While trouble shooting accuracy problems we never thought to check this… it could happen to anyone! ;) A friend wanted to do some tuning and asked if the shooting bench was available. I had finished my morning session and had chores to do so I said to come over. Chores finished I found my...

I'm really glad to read of your joy with the Leopard! 😁 Thanks for sharing it! I usually shoot .22, have a couple and don't need another. There's a small chance that a .25 Leopard may find a home here. Cheers!

Sounds like the airgun has been thoroughly gone over. Maybe try another scope? Seen a scope that was adjusted too close to its maximum, got bumped and the erector tube started "floating" causing the groups to open up. Have you checked/confirmed that the parallax was properly adjusted? That...

Keeping in mind that the image (and the tooling marks) are greatly magnified and are making things look worse. Best I can tell, the slight "chatter" from the chamfering tool looks even and consistent all around the bore. If you're super-tuning a competition rifle (or just messing around...

I keep my .22 caliber HW44 handy when working around the property. You never know when you need to deal with a pest.

Populations are low? Not around here! I go through a couple of pounds of seed a day feeding dozens birds. 😃 Cheers!

Great shooting! From a rest or off-hand? Pellet performance depends greatly on the airgun, the tune, the distance and the shooter (probably mostly the shooter 😉) Glad you are enjoying yourself! Cheers!

All good advice above, pick your level of commitment/interest/frustration/fun 🤪 Suggestions: clean the barrel, buy a couple of tins of recommend (by the manufacturer or by popular concensus... it's not critical) pellets and shoot the gun with the factory tune. I say this because the airgun...

Compared to fishing my airgun addiction is cheap! Guess that I could buy a couple of hooks, some line, cut a pole, dig some worms and fish from the shore... but I don't! 😁 I need a boat full of stuff! 🤪 We complain about airgun prices but I think we have gotten off pretty easy. I went to the...

It's been extremely hot and humid the past week so shooting sessions have been limited to stepping out on the deck, plinking a magazine's worth of tin cans with the HW44 then retiring back to the air-conditioning. 😁 Cheers!

Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing!

Emu, What power are you at? Is your Wolverine an R or a HP? Thanks!
