    Finally nailed this coyote

    Great shot. Not sure where you live but I'll bet the 6mm would be some serious over penetration.

    N/A Have a question on CO2 Diana Airbug

    Thank you, gentlemen. Gives me something to think about. The spring going back is a factor I didn't think of. Plinking and possible ratting (the outdoor Mc Caw is a attractant. 400 FPS with a 12 grain .22 pellet is something over 4 FPE. Enough for a rate. Plenty for a soda can.

    N/A Have a question on CO2 Diana Airbug

    I saw a video about taking out the spring an stretching it from 3.5 in to 4 inches. The premise was that the stronger spring will how the valve open longer and there for increase the air pressure. After the conversion the chronograph showed 700 FPS out of the AirBug. Anyone have any thoughts on...

    Springers are fickle about how they are held

    Thank you all. The hold is something I was not aware of. Can't wait to try it. The scope seems to be dialed in OK. I switched the Gamo scope fro one that was on an SKS that I got. More power but I am sure it can take any recoil. I don't mind taking it apart. I hope there is a video on how to do...

    Springers are fickle about how they are held

    I have reqad that springers are very susceptible as to how they are held. Not sure I understand. Open to instruction. I have a Gamo Big Cat in .177 Accuracy is disappointing. Wondering If its me, The gun is about 18 years old. Writing because I was trying to zero in the scope the other day...

    Umarex Strikepoint

    There is a cock a too and a bkue and gold macaw. The cock a too is loud, messy, dangerous and co dependent which results in lots a uh calling. Those are the reasons to shoot the bird. Its expensive to feed too. On the other hand that would put 43 years of marriage in danger. They had to come...

    Umarex Strikepoint

    Misery loves company. The review videos tell a completely different story, not sure how that works. Umarex makes a pcp I find interesting but my experience scares me. Probably go with a Benjamin, when I can.

    Umarex Strikepoint

    Bought one of these a number of months ago in .22. We have some large parrots outside on the porch and living in a rural area the rats were getting very brave. I thought the pistol would be easy to track the rats and with 10 pumps it would be strong enough at close range to kill them. Never have...

    PCP charging

    How many people use a hand pump to charge their pcp air guns? How hard, time taking is it? Is their an economical pump? Or better yet, what is the best electric pump at the loeer end of the price range? Cant really think about this without a few closings. Just trying to plan(fantisize) for now...

    CO2 cartrudge lasts 2 - 3 days in storage

    Start with number one after testing for number 2. How do I get to the O- ring in 1 and where can I get one. I got some barrel breach O rings but had to go England.

    CO2 cartrudge lasts 2 - 3 days in storage

    I have a Diana Chaser in .22 with the rifle kit. I really like it. About three weeks ago I was shoot, got so involved in the shooting, put a pellet in backwards. Two things happened. 1.) the O ring seal between the breach and the barrel needed to be replaced, and now the cartridge only lasts...

    Today I discovered how much pellet is too much for my HW30

    Not sure what your goal is, target or pest shooting. The following is a link to a chart to calculate FPE for various velocity and weight of pellet. https://www.pyramydair.com/airgun-resources/widgets/convert.php?Units&u=14

    Hi everyone from South Florida

    Ran across this forum looking for some answers on a couple of air guns I have. Bought my first air gun about 15 years ago. It was a springer (Gamo Big Cat) nice power, accuracy was ok. Having fun with the Diana Chaser rifle kit in .22. I am looking forward to learning a lot and hearing others...
