    New “pistol” in the house

    I opted to pay a little extra for a Square Trade warranty. Hopefully it will cover any issues that may not be (read: won’t be) covered by Hatsan.

    New “pistol” in the house

    .177 Hatsan MOD 25 SuperTACT QE I’ve been eyeballing these for a few months, something about the handy size has quite the appeal to me. I’ve only had experience with a Hatsan once before, that was a Webley branded springer in .20 that I had high hopes for, but it arrived inoperable, and I...

    AoA

    Am I right in thinking AoA used to be an Air Arms distributor as well about twenty years ago? I have a left-handed AA S400K .22 that is a British market gun (12 ft lbs) that I could swear I special ordered through them. Otony

    Side mount Picatinny rail bipod???

    Oh, you are right, sorry. I would like to say that they used to, but I honestly am not sure now.

    UTG/Leapers makes one like that.

    How often do you shoot your air gun?

    When ever we want! We are blessed to live on almost 4 acres, so plenty of space to shoot. In addition, we have two shops, one 40x40, the other is 24x48. So indoor shooting is readily available as well. To top it off, the bay doors of both shops are facing each other, with about 50 or 60 feet in...

    Scope ring surprise

    I’m glad to read that! I liked the rings quite a bit, but if they won’t fit I can’t get much use from them. In retrospect, perhaps I should have tried them on some other picatinny rails that I have here, but their intended use was always on the Kratos and they absolutely would not fit on it...

    Other airgun forums....

    There is indeed a huge wealth of information over there, that I have explored quite a bit. I agree that Bob & Lloyd’s Workshop is excellent, probably one of the best sub-forums on the site. Just of of curiosity, however, I popped in a few moments ago to see if I was overstating the issue. If...

    Scope ring surprise

    The Warne rings I’ve used have proven to be of very fine quality. I’ve never visited their factory, but intend to do so in the near future just out of curiosity. They are of course the remnants of Jack Warne’s sadly unsuccessful Kimber of Oregon venture, an example of biting off a bit more than...

    Other airgun forums....

    I guess I not sure what you mean by that? There must be something going on that I’m oblivious to, could you fill me in?

    Other airgun forums....

    I hate to be judgmental (well, no, I don’t if we are being honest) but am I the only one who thinks the sheer number of sub-forums at Gateway To Airguns is overwhelming and repetitive? Please don’t get me wrong, there is a tremendous amount of valuable and entertaining information to be had...

    Scope ring surprise

    I am not altogether certain about the shift to China, but I’m given to understand that most of the folks who were originally involved are gone now. Much of their product line was CNC produced, which can be done anywhere, and I’ve noticed subtle differences in the shape of their rings but this is...

    Scope ring surprise

    Bought them on eBay, and was willing to pay the price in the hopes that Leapers had taken the “leap” to the next level of quality. Alas, that sadly was not the case, and they are winging their way back tomorrow for a full refund. In terms of the most versatile offerings, the old B-Square...

    Scope ring surprise

    In over 50 years of using scope rings I’ve run into the occasional glitch, but this is by far one of the most surprising. Brands I’ve used have included Burris, B-Square, Weaver, Leupold, Redfield, Ruger, BKL, Millett, Talley, Warne, Westhunter (good quality chinesium stuff, btw), an Australian...

    What reflex (red dot) for the PP750?

    On my PP700 I’ve used two different red dots, both are small pistol sized, one by ADE (actually a green dot), and another by Tru-Glo. You really can tell a considerable difference in quality between the two sights, insofar as blurring due to astigmatism goes.I suffer from astigmatism, and for my...

    Red dot sight for Crosman 1701p

    Just an FYI, all the Sig-Sauer sights are made by Holosun, and in most cases are just rebranded with no other changes. Find the Holosun equivalent and it won’t be so “pricey”. I have Sig Romeos that I bought before discovering that little tidbit, and spent more than necessary as a result. Otony

    I have good news and bad news.....

    Bad news first. I used the AGNATION code a couple of weeks ago to order a Benjamin Kratos .22 from Crosman. The code worked fine, but what I received was a .25 caliber Kratos with the palest, driest piece of walnut I’ve ever seen on a rifle. It was practically blonde, and very unattractive...

    Tuning Carbon fiber bottle for Benjamin Kratos?

    Where did you find your bottle? I know bestfittings has them, but I’m not aware of who sells such things here in the States.
