    GX CS4 100hrs Cylinder Pulled, Was it Worth It

    This has been my experience with one of the CS3s, although both gears failed at the same time.

    Need dovetail to Picatinny adapters for TX200/Pro Sport

    BKL would be my first choice on a springer. Their adapters don't require a stop pin and they don't introduce any cant

    N/A Quality PCP American made .177 rifle less than 6lbs?

    The Benjamin Marauder pistol or an Air force Talon are probably your only choices. With the current pricing from Pyramyd Air a microstrike is still less expensive than a Marauder pistol and has a lot more going for it feature wise.

    Added a new Scope for my 2007 RWS Diana 48 .007 vs. "Barrel Droop"......eyes are getting older using open sights!

    Older Dianas (older is a vague term) are known for having more barrel droop than average and usually require droop compensation mounts. UTG used to make a dedicated mount for the fixed barrel T05 Dianas and one for the T05 break barrels. However, shortly after the T06 models were released, UTG...

    Discovery Knocked it out of the park with this model

    I can't really speak to how well the scope would hold zero in a drop circumstance. There was one situation where I needed to re-zero it after the rifle took more of a jarring than normal during transit. However, I cannot say with 100% certainty that it was just the scope at play, since there was...

    Discovery Knocked it out of the park with this model

    I've had this happen with a Discovery HT 3-12x40. I would say you ended up with a lemon. As for the magnification ring, mine is on the stiff side, but it's workable. The parallax wheel is quite comparable to some UTGs or other scopes in the $200 range. I made a side wheel for mine, but that's...

    Discovery Knocked it out of the park with this model

    I've used one in a "Micro" Silhouette match (silhouettes of approximately 0.5" kill zones or less between 5 and 20 yards) with good results. The scope lacks a shallow depth of field that is typical on most FT scopes with large objectives. You can still mount a custom side wheel and range fairly...

    Discovery Knocked it out of the park with this model

    Agree, the 2-12x24 fits a special niche for airguns. I have one and it's a really nice scope considering the price.

    Question for everyone.

    The element Helix lineup is quite respectable in my opinion. They have a somewhat tight eyebox, although most similar spec scopes do. I have no complaints about mine

    FX FX Impact M3 - I Can't Tune It to Higher Velocities - Strange ???

    Some impacts have 6 lines on the VA rather than 4. I don't know the exact reasoning behind it or when the change occurred. Most of the advice that you've been given is assuming that your VA only had 4 lines. The VA is quite sensitive and the change between 6 and 4 would be significant. I would...

    FX FX Impact M3 - I Can't Tune It to Higher Velocities - Strange ???

    You should be able to go beyond 880 fps with the 33.95s without changing any parts. As previously mentioned, de-gas the gun and start over. I would open the valve adjuster beyond the 4th line and start around 120 bar. If you are still nowhere near 800 fps, there's another issue at hand. This...

    Discovery HD 2-12X24 SFIR FFP. A little experiment.

    I have the 2-12x24 and I'm really enjoying it. I can't find details on the parallax specs for the 3-12x32. Does it also focus down to 5 yards? (or meters, I guess they don't specify)

    How do you determine "useable shots"?

    With an unregulated gun most people will pick an acceptable extreme spread of velocity. What goes into picking that range will depend upon your situation. If you're shooting in your backyard, a 50-60 fps extreme spread may be acceptable. It's very helpful to actually plot your velocity data and...

    FX Are expensive PCPs worth it?

    There's always a point of diminishing returns when considering performance relative to cost. There are a lot of people who will overbuy beyond their skill and knowledge level and be upset when they cannot achieve results that vastly exceed that of a less expensive rifle. Build quality...

    N/A Need Advice on a PCP Purchase

    If you can find an FX dreamline, I'd also consider that as an alternative to the DRS. The Dreamlines get more shots per fill and has an adjustable transfer port to easily step down in power for closer range shots (which also dramatically increases the shotcount). They'll be a bit longer than...

    N/A Hawke Vantage

    At one point in time, the vantage models were only rated up to 12 FPE according to Pyramyd Air and Hawke. However in the last few years, Hawke changed the vantage models (in a fairly quiet manner) and that energy limitation was removed. So any current production Vantage models should be more...

    N/A Anyone seen these yet?

    I'll keep this brief to avoid high-jacking the thread. In Canada there are 4 classes of firearms: unregulated, non-restricted, restricted and prohibited. Most PCP rifles would fall into the non-restricted category so long as they're not silenced. These would require a "standard license...

    N/A Anyone seen these yet?

    In Canada, PAL rated rifles are fine, but a pistol would fall into the RPAL category. Once a pistol falls into this category it is effectively prohibited due to the current legislation. This is a post for inventory carried by a Canadian vendor and as such they must carry models that conform to...

    Warne Skyline Pro Bipod

    Has anyone tried the new Warne skyline pro? The minimum height is quite appealing to me. I'm wondering how it compares against an Accu-tac?
