    What springer did you shoot today?

    This TX200 .22 was my first squirrel gun, and started it off. Did a lot of mopping up with this baby.Shot the 97 some more. Between the two rifles I find the 97 a little easier to use. The two have equal accuracy. Wish Air Arms made them in .20 cal. I find the Air Arms a little more appealing to...

    Benjamin Silly newb question

    I will echo what most people have said here. The Mrod is a great first or maybe even last, PCP air rifle. It was my first and it's a good quality rifle. I've bought a lot of PCP rifles since, most high end. They all shot pellets very well, but slugs? That's a big no! Only a couple of my...

    What were your first experiences handling a gun?

    I recently found out that my high school had a 25 yard range in the basement that was used by the Air Cadets. Never knew it was there. Anyhow, I worked part time at a sporting goods store in the late 60’s and bought my first pellet rifle from there. I still have and use it periodically. It’s an...

    Other Recommendations for a newie

    "Hello guys 👋 I'm looking to buy my first PCP rifle. I live in Mexico, and it's quite challenging to find a good quality/price option. After researching on this forum and YouTube, I found two promising choices, and I would love to hear your recommendations on which one to buy: * Air Venturi...

    Advice Needed

    I just bought the Notos for back yard plinking and it's perfect for me! My other pcp is a .30 Vulcan 3 @ 115 ft lbs, way to loud and powerful for the back yard. The Notos is more than enough for rabbits and it's quiet as hell. It shoots the 15.89 gr hades @ 754 fps and I'm now shooting 23gn...

    PCP Rifle WTB Stoeger XM1 Bullshark

    I'm working on a new magazine for the XM1 Bullshark rifles and need to get my hands on a Bullshark for fit check and testing. I'd prefer a 22cal or 177cal, but would take any cal. It needs to function - not looking for a project! I'd also offer to borrow one in exchange for 4 magazines once I...

    To PCP or Not PCP…. That is the question

    Ah yes, the purpose. That’s the worst thing about getting old…. What were we talking about? Oh yeah, it’s going to see use as a back yard pester and light field and target work. I have some very persistent pigeons and starlings that don’t seem to fear death.

    Hatsan Zada is what I picked up today.

    The first thing I did was tighten all screws in the stock, mount, and rail. Inspected barrel. Nice rifle bore detail. No rust. Stout spring. Stock is surprisingly solid. However the front forked by the greak barrel ares could be a bit stiffer. Scope mounting weaver rings was a bit testy on my...

    Gamo CAT trigger

    The Swarm Bone Collector was one of the first adult air rifle I purchased after getting into air guns, I know my way around firearms but air guns were a whole different animal at the time so $10.00 for a quick and simple fix was well worth the investment to me. Thanks for the reply.

    Diana Which is a Better 10 Meter Air Rifle and Why do you think so Pls? Diana 75 or Walther LG55 Tyrolean stock

    Hey Guys, Please help me decide between these two great rifles. I cannot afford both. I am weighing the differences between Diana 75 and Walther LG55 with a Tyrolean stock. Over the years I have used the Diana side cocking platform considerably, First I purchased a model 48. Then a recoiless...

    Looking for inexpensive scopes and range finders

    OK, so let's start at the top. Your first post says you hunt small game with air rifles. So what range(s)? For some guys small game is ground squirrels at 200 yards. For others it's tree squirrels at no more than 50 yards. For other guys it's a large gammit -- like anything from 20 yards to...

    Air Arms - Memories

    Here is my Air Arms memory. Have had a few AA rifles and they have all been great. But this Ev-2 will always stand out because it was the rifle I took to my first FT match....and my son was as eager and excited as I was that day.

    JTS Where should I buy my first PCP?

    They are all good. Find one that doesn't charge tax and buy from there. Shipping should be free also.

    RTI .25 Rpb barrel preferences

    Hey all I’m about to pull the proverbial trigger on a .25 rti p3. As it will be my first “high power” air rifle I’d love to get some reccomendations on where to start ammo-wise, both pellet and slug. at the moment I’m not planning on tuning it for max-power. Does the rpb barrel prefer slightly...

    FX FX Impact M4 - Velocity consistency?

    Today (10-17) was colder than the 11th with wind at the muzzle from 8 o'clock . Plenum pressure had come up to where it was on the 11th and the 1st stage pressure was at setpoint. I reviewed the first shot target data from the 11th and lowered my holdover a bit. Adjusted my windage hold a bit...
