    Centerfire v. Air…

    I was a prolific PB shooter for decades and then just lost interest. For years all my PB’s except my shotguns sat in the safe waiting for their once a year inspection, clean and admire session. When I found air guns I started to shoot and shoot a lot. Just got home from the indoor range. Shot a...

    Ridiculous stuff

    Yes I did. I thought for a minute to not buy them on the principal. I had bought several tins a while back at another location and no ID was required. So not a state law or regulation, just a store policy. Will I buy from this seller again? No. There is a Walmart just down the road a few miles...

    Ridiculous stuff

    I think I have posted that I stepped into the CO2 world a short time ago. Having a great time with the Clone shooting in my garage. Sooooo stopped off at the local drug store/sporting goods/kitchen goods/clothing store etc etc to buy some 177 pellets. Found tins of Crossman premiers 7.9 gr for...

    Air Tank?

    Yes to all the above. I would hate to have to charge my gun from my compressor when I can just charge it multiple times with a tank. Aside from the convenience of the tank, cycling your compressor on and off multiple times for short runs is most likely not the best way to run it. On off cycles...

    177 pellets and older fingers

    So I bought my first 177 about two weeks ago. Never thought I would own a 177 or a clone CO2 pistol either. But I am teaching a friend who has never shot the basics of PB handguns and the Umarex PPQ M2 seemed a good starting point. No recoil and no loud report. Any ways, I have learned to hate...

    FX The older guns that never get mentioned. My FXT12FT.

    No such thing as boringly accurate. If it was boring we would not keep shooting. I have an old FX Cutlass that I am quite fond of. Bought it and basically rebuilt it. It is a gun I reach for all the time. Jsut so simple light and handles like a dream in the field

    Buy once, cry once.

    Discretionary budgets rule the choice. If you have a tight discretionary account then you need to do a lot of research and buy the very best you can afford. If you have a more expansive budget you need to do a lot of research and buy the gun that appears to address your perceived needs and...

    Any buy it for life air rifles?

    I have 9 air guns now. The only one I consider a never part with is my FX Cutlass in 22. No reg, no problem. I am still working on watching my plenum pressure and counting shots before the fill. The sweet zone shorter than my huge plenum regulated guns, but I can pick it up and shoot it after a...

    FX FX Impact Compact

    I believe 18’s as well. Please don’t assume when you get your new Impact that the factory or the dealer has actually “tuned” it unless you paid them for that service. Even then i would be suspect. I have bought 9 new FX guns over the last 3 years. Half of them came through our best known FX...

    What can you hunt with a sub 12 ft air rifle at close range?

    I smile every time this subject comes up. There are always proponents of the <12 fpe guns and the stunning feats Europeans pull off with regularity. The reality is that if the they could get their hands on more powerful guns without the hassle of obtaining the required permits they would be...

    Small compressors poo-pooed?

    Compressors are an odd issue in this sport. If you don’t shoot too much or you shoot a lot and have the time to mess with a small compressor, many here make them work and are quite happy with them. I tried them and was sorely disappointed. I ended up with an upper end compressor. I put a shade...

    FX Impact M3 Question??

    I don’t know on a .25 but both of my 22 cal M3’s were tapped out @ 145-150 bar with the stock hammer set up. I would think the 25 should have a slightly heavier hammer weight in it. maybe it gets to a higher plenum pressure?

    Coltri MCH 6 Owners, get in here, this thread is for you!!

    I just rebuilt the top end of stage 2, 3 & 4 on my Daystate/Coltri 230V MCH6 about a month ago. Also had to update the #2 stage with a new piston, seal and valve as the variant I had was discontinued after 6 months of production. These compressors are pretty easy to work on if you have a modicum...

    Can The Sidewinder Compete?

    I owned a Rattler for a bit. The influencers all said it had a good trigger. No it does not. Neither does any other semi auto air gun I have tried. For precision target work you need a good Quality and predictable trigger.

    Target practicing in woods; in Trouble NEED HELP!

    my suggestion find a place to live that is more conducive to your lifestyle. At the rate my state is growing, there are a lot of people doing just that

    Do you ever get fed up with Airguns?

    This discussion and several similar reminds me of when I was hard into archery and bow hunting. I hunted big game exclusively with a bow for 20 or so years. I would cringe whenever a new guy came to camp. Inevitably and almost certainly one evening around the fire they would say “If I would have...

    Frustrated!

    In some instances rules suck. But they serve a purpose and the community is well served by that particular rule. We all had to abide by it.

    Tuning Realistically, how do you all keep up with the slug dream??

    You sound like a prime candidate to not shoot slugs. I have guns for pellets and guns for slugs. Two completely different critters. I will admit that the pellet shooters were easier to tune to accuracy and JSB pellets are a pretty stable item in the market so no worries about them changing...

    Airforce Ok Im ready for a .357 air rifle. Which one?

    I admit to being intimidated by the semi auto action as far as tearing into the gun. Even if the trigger would have been improved the weight and size was more than I wanted for a roving hunting gun. I sold it and got an FX Panthera Compact hunter in 30. Like I said, other‘s perceptions may be...

    Airforce Ok Im ready for a .357 air rifle. Which one?

    I had a Rattler. I bought mine for coyotes and other medium game. Guess if you are shooting coyotes off a porch or your bench it would be fine. Toting it over hill and dale? You better be in great shape. It is large and heavy. Mine was plenty powerful but never reached the power levels I was...
