    PCP Rifle Benjamin Marauder .177 gen 2 in working condition

    WTB/WTT : classic Benjamin Marauder .177 gen 2 languishing in a corner, closet, or safe? Not in excellent (like new) condition and could even be called only 'fair' but still holds air and shoots like a champ? Let me give that rifle a new life! I'm looking to buy or trade for a used M-rod with...

    At what distance do you typically shoot your airgun?

    I shoot a solid 10m indoors in the cold months and am limited to 25 yards max in my suburban yard, though mostly I shoot from a chair at 20 meters outside, using the chair arm to prop up my supporting arm. My mobility has drastically diminished over the past year so I am very grateful that...

    PCP Rifle BSA Ultra CLX sub-12 ft lb to Sell or Trade

    I have an Ultra CLX sub-12 ft lb for sale or trade. Very good condition (some stock dings on the Minelli wood stock, dang it) and accurate to the millimeter. It is a .177, has two all-metal mags, a fill probe with a Foster fitting already attached, all in a Plano black heavy lockable case that...

    Traditional Rifle Beeman .177 CO2 Target Rifle in Thumbhole Stock (AR2078B)

    Still available: this is an accurate rifle that is inexpensive to run and a dream to hold. Too much gun, perhaps, for a child or young/small teen (or a sixty-something with autoimmune problems) but a worthwhile buy for indoor precision shooting. Take a second look! Beeman branded CO2 target...

    When life takes a hard left turn

    Hey fellow pneuma-nuts, been some time since I posted. As with all of us, 2022 was a year of defining moments for me. It began with terrible migrating joint pains that led me to a rheumatologist who confirmed I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis. A month later that expanded to RA and Lupus, two...

    Good Airgun Dog Name?

    A small boy... call him Artillery Hold and shorten it to "Arty". After all, he doesn't need to be held in a death grip when picked up, just supported gently while he does his thing...

    Whats The Quietest PCP You Have Shot?

    My drastically de-tuned .177 Marauder, now in another enthusiast's hands. Shooting under 12 ftlbs, giving me over 100 shots (consistent? eh...) that were useful enough for 25 yard plinking, and the only sound was the pellet hitting whatever I aimed at. Accurate, economical, and silent as the...

    NEW BSA GUNS

    AoA had a BSA Ultra CLX sub-12 ft lb for sale earlier this Summer. That is the first BSA gun to feature the new mono block in use on the R12 CLX Pro as well. I bought the Ultra CLX and absolutely love it. I call it my bucket-list gun since I've coveted the Ultra since discovering Si and Davey...

    Brocock Ghost

    Saw a video posted on YT by Airgun Magazine out of the UK wherein the presenter demonstrated how to link two full magazines together (a Daystate kind of thing) and load them in the breech. One is in battery while the second sticks out just a bit on the opposite side of the gun. When the first...

    Suggestions on a PCP rifle

    The Stoeger XM1, in long-gun form or the new bullpup version, is a winner. The long version comes with or without a moderator; it has quite a bark without so consider the version with the factory moderator if noise is an issue for you. The bullpup is, i believe, shrouded and so remains...

    When your body starts back-talking

    Hey sisters and brothers in the air gun community - been quite a while since I've posted. A common topic that resurfaces every so often in our discussions here are the effects age and the passing of the years have on our interests and pursuits with air guns. Now it's my turn as my body has...

    Cold almost everywhere in the USA

    Ice storms are terrible! Worked as a utility forester back in 1991 when Howard County Indiana was devastated. Official top gust of 93 mph clocked at an air base just north of us. Sustained winds near Cat 1 hurricane force. As ice formed airfoils on the powerlines they began "galloping", jumping...

    Feedback lwm211 - Leon AAA Seller

    Patient while I gathered funds, willing to hold the Silhouette as SPF for me. Good price matched by great packaging and timely shipment. Terrific to deal with!

    What did you shoot today?

    Been playing around with my CO2 pistols from Crosman's Custom Shop. A 2300S carbine giving me 70 shots on a 12g bottle and a 2400KT reworked as a pistol with Walnut grips, TKO moderator, and a Crosman FFP scope. All indoor shooting as the snow falls outside; 8 yards for the pistol while seated...

    Crosman Let's show off our Crosman pistol builds!

    My two Crosman CO2 pistols, both from the CCS. First is my 2300S set up as a carbine with open sights using a Williams Leaf sight set forward to allow my aging eyes to see the rear blade with greater sharpness. 70 good shots on a 12g Powerlet shot this morning. Second is my 2400KT with a...

    I'm Baaaaack. Help us name this new version of Impact! What would YOU call it?

    Welcome back, Joe, and God's grace to you! Glad you are back in the saddle. I haven't a name for the rifle (outside my wheelhouse by miles) but hope to be in touch later this year for a bottle setup. Waiting on the salary pipeline to begin flowing again...
