Miss conversing with you all! You and this website/forum are terrific!

Since pulling up my outdoor range, giving my targets away, and selling 16 of my 22 prized and immaculate super accurate rifles, I haven't spent much time on the forum. I miss all of my terrific friends cultivated on this forum over the now several years.

This website and forum is a real tribute to this hobby. I hope you all know how lucky you are to have it and each other to share the airgun hobby with and as a resource.

My 200,000 rounds of airgun ammo has now been sold off to just more than enough to probably last me more than a lifetime, and I will likely in the end keep all but one of the remaining rifles for under 50 yard occasional use in the back yard and more regular use on my indoor range, especially in the winter time.

I thought you might be interested to know that of all of the terrific rifles I posted reviews of over the years and that many of you now own, the rifles I chose to keep (of course sensational performers) consist of:
  1. An Air Arms Scott Schneider Motorhead tuned .22, with Huma regulator added - my very first PCP purchased more than 20 years ago and always one of the most dependable and accurate in my collection
  2. A custom stocked Weihauch HW97K in .20 that will shoot a sub .10" 10 shot groups on my indoor 18 yard range, and consistently 3/4" at 50 yards outdoors in favorable wind conditions
  3. A Daystate Wolverine R in .177 - favoring the 13.43 Gr Jumbo Monster pellets - stacks virtually one hole and is a blast with the indoor RX target set
  4. Arguably the most accurate rifle I own, a Charlie Frear Georgia Airguns tuned .22 Cricket Long - I recently shot both a .01" 10 shot group at 18 yards indoors and a .03" 10 shot group at 50 yards outdoors with it
  5. A Martin Rutherford modified and tuned .22 HM1000X - Chassis - with Cerekote finish and MagPul hardware - shoots the 25.39 Redesigneds into 1/2" 10 shot groups at 50 yards all day long
  6. A Daystate Wolverine R HP in .22 that loves and stacks the H&N Baracuda Match 21.14 Gr pellets.
I have yet to retire and stay pretty busy. My wife is enjoying my focus shift to other things, as well as our checkbook not being impacted as often.

If I can ever help any of you, don't hesitate to reach out. I will continue to check in on you occasionally.

I enjoyed our phone call last week as we discussed my purchase of pellets, and looking forward to meeting you when we meet to exchange them! As I mentioned, I recall you taking the time to call and talk with me back in 2022 when I first got in to this game. You’d mentioned you tuned springers over the winter and I had a few questions, which you were happy to answer for me. Folks like you are what make hobbies like this one great! Hopefully you drop in and share your wisdom with us once in a while!
