You have described an excellent follow through-- very few of us have the perfect trigger technique that absolutely doesn't disturb the aim. When releasing the trigger too quickly we a) relax involuntarily and b) change grip pressure ever so slightly. While holding the trigger back you are not...

The poster above has noticed with sharp eyes that you have two different groups, which means you have a slightly inconsistent hold. One way to check that would be to follow through and see where the reticle ends up AFTER the pellet has left the barrel and the gun has settled from its recoil. It...

I don't have the particular airgun, but I do have CO2 airguns and here are some of my thoughts: 1. I can not speak for everyone who says do not clean your airgun barrel-- my experience has been exactly the opposite and since I keep records of my group sizes I know that cleaning a barrel does...

1. 1/2" UNF adapter for 15mm barrel in good condition. 2. AA S200/T200 .177 calibre 10 shot conversion system including at least one magazine. I can buy the system from UK but would was hoping to find something used locally. I should like to pay via Paypal, if necessary with the 3% additional...

The Diana 48/ 52 is an excellent high power springer. The trigger isn't as good as the Rekord on HW springers but still very good if you adjust it right, which I did find was quite a fiddly process. It is a heavy gun which actually helps dampen the recoil but can be difficult to shoot offhand...

How do all of you dispose of that lead mixed stuff? I too have a pellet trap and been wondering what to do with the trash. 

I'd recommend against an attached bipod on a spring rifle. The rifle must be free to recoil back and forward, particularly those with significant recoil, and a bipod legs due to being fixed to the ground will not allow that. What you could try is a saddle type bipod where the rifle rests on a V...

To be honest I have very limited experience, but I was under the impression that open bolt rifles are harder to shoot accurately. May be it's different for airguns. However if it's open bolt then it does indeed address my concern. As long as we aren't stuck with a loaded barrel by default, it's...

My concern would be safety. Airguns anyway have a problem of not be "unloadable" because there are no extractor/ ejector mechanism. At least with a bolt action airgun one can choose to load a pellet, but with a self loader, one wouldn't even have that choice. There will always be a loaded gun...

That's good data. You should save it. Whenever anyone asks "Do I need to clean my barrel?" -- this happens frequently on all airgun forums-- you can whip out the data and say if you do clean your barrel you'll get an improvement of 0.1-0.125 moa in group sizes and no fliers. It's good to have...

Weaver has no information about its scopes on its website-- in particular the closest parallax distance or even the weight. The Weaver website is designed by someone who doesn't use the internet very much! If you find those two bits of information that would be very helpful for anyone searching...

That's a great idea; you may want to increase the sight radius by moving the front sight as far out along the barrel as you can. With your technical skills you will probably find it easy to fashion a barrel band out of some sort of plastic and then use the same front sight. Though the inherent...

I will look into them. I like the Hawke reticle and have long considered the 2-7X 32 for my R1. Perhaps once I get my R1 set up again, I will get it. Thanks for the recommendation. 

Very kind of you for taking the trouble of finding a source. I will contact the seller and if I feel comfortable-- buying from a completely different forum makes me a bit hesitant to be honest-- I will buy it. In any case, I greatly appreciate your help and thanks very much. 

I think you and Ron are talking past each other. You are assuming that the only kind of shooting is shooting groups at 100 yards from a benchrest. Ron is referring to shooting offhand in target disciplines where trigger control, stance, breathing, stability of hold, and reading the wind-- things...

That would be almost the perfect choice pricewise and featurewise, but seems it's discontinued as far as retailers are concerned. But I suppose I can always look for one to show up in the Classified. Thanks for taking the trouble of finding the link.

Thank you for the recommendation. I didn't consider the Sightron scopes, but that scope, though a bit out of my price range, seems almost exactly what I was looking for. I am looking through their entire line to see if they have a slightly less pricey scope with some of the more important...

Thanks very much for the recommendation. I have been very keen on the SWFA scopes, but I was hoping for something less than 20 oz in weight, preferably closer to 16 oz, whereas the SWFA scopes are all in the 24 oz-- somewhat heavy- category. Also since I'll be clicking and not ranging with the...

I would like your opinions on choosing a scope. I have narrowed down my requirements pretty well and need a few recommendations to look out for sales/ used market. Intended use: PCP. Magnification range: Minimum magnification: No more than 5X. Maximum magnification: No more than 16X. 10-12X...
