I like the fact that both sides clamp. It gets the mount centered on the dovetail. The "11mm" dovetails are not uniform. A clamp that moves on only one side is always offset from the center of the rifle a little. Sometimes a lot. The Burris z clamp solves that. It honestly makes little...

My Hawkes have all flown back to the nest and came back replaced. Excellent service. They aren't trouble free but they honor that warranty.

For some guys they may be perfect rifles. And the multi shot function has been a long time coming. I'm sure they will get better as time goes by. Personally I don't see the need for one. But for hunting and pesting it does make sense. I'm all about budget pellet rifles you don't have to baby...

For hunting purposes a quick follow up shot is always good... as long as you don't pay for it with accuracy and reliability. I don't own a multi shot rifle but a friend who I shoot with does. It is a Gamo rifle (what model I don't know). He loves it. He swears by it. He often wants to "swap...

Have a shoot for vets. Then have a shoot for people with PTSD. Those are 2 completely different groups. Most people with PTSD are not veterans.

A scuba mask fogs up all the time. Your body heat warms the air and constantly fogs the lens. There are dozens of products and dozens of home remedies. Paste wax works great. Saliva works great. Lemon or lime juice. Silicone grease. Armor All or "Son of a gun" protectant... Lots of products...

I hear you on the scope. I like irons too. Especially for hunting small critters scurrying around. Scopes are fragile and finicky and get stuff on the lenses. Always an issue in the truck or crashing around in the brush. I've been playing with a .177 springer (Hatsan) the past few evenings and...

Let the hardware equalize to the ambient temperature.

Left handed. Right eye dominant. I shoot right handed for the most part. As a kid I always shot left handed. Then I shot both ways most of my life. I always shot left handed from the bench and right handed when standing or sitting. Now I (almost) always shoot right handed.

What a sweet rifle! I'm going to get a .177 with a gas ram as soon as they are available. I hear nothing but good things about them. I'm leaning toward the carbine version with the synthetic stock. Are you going to mount a scope? How do you like the iron sights? Let us know how you like it...

I use a complex system of hydraulic cellular membranes controlled by a neuroprocessor implanted behind my eyes. It interfaces with the rifle via a telekinetic connection with the antenna mounted on the front of the barrel. The hydraulics automatically adjust for windage and elevation thanks to a...

In my younger days i could drop into position and get off an accurate shot WAY out there. Then spring up like a cat and run 100 yards toward my target before they realized they were hit. I could skin and quarter it, pack it five miles and still swing the ladies around at the cowboy dance that...

Do you miss that adjustable objective? I think it's more trouble than it's worth. I can shoot as tight a pattern at 25 and 50 without one. I understand in competition at close range in various positions it may help. But in my everyday life it's not worth a nickel. I've had my eye on the...

Leupold freedom rimfire 3x9x40 mil dot. Sportsmatch medium 4 screw rings. The HW97 is a wicked accurate rifle. I've given up on cutting corners with mine. My Hake Airmax has worked well but it jumps around a lot lately. It's a replacement for the first one that went wild. I'll send it back...

Exactly how I do it! Most guys rest elbows on knees and hold the rifle when sitting. We fold up all the way. I don't have much belly so I put a small day pack in my lap to squeeze on. It's hard for me to get up from that position now. I kinda flop around for a while before I get my legs under...

We wear a helmet with a lexan face shield, body armor, shin guards, steel toed boots and leather gloves. Also heavy canvas shirt and pants with Kevlar reinforced underwear. Not really... We generally just hold a can of beer in front of our face to deflect any ricochets.

I've had trouble getting the right eye relief with compact scopes. They won't slide back and forth in the rings much. Consequently your mounts must be perfect or you are hunting for the correct eye relief. The Bug Buster has a very narrow eye box range that compounds the problem. If you can...

A camera tripod. $5 at the thrift store. It works dandy.

Every scope I've mounted on a springer does this to some extent. Some more than others. A shift of 2-4 clicks @25 I'm chalking up to thermal drift. We have wide temperature swings and this seems to affect POI the most. My rifles will all hold zero until the Temps start changing. Changing...

I've been setting up the little steel targets lately too. Everything but the chickens. The sound of that lead on steel is sweet. Lots of ricochets with steel. I won't shoot it around the house anymore. But those little targets are tons of fun! We used to love golf balls. We even had a little...
