    Other thinking about buying an avenger, for plinking and some occasional hunting. would a hand pump be reasonable or a compressor is a must?

    i got by with a marauder .25 for years with a handpump ...pumping all day isnt going to be attractive, but pesting and several mags here and there, no problem .... i wouldnt say an electric pump is a must unless you move into larger bottle-fed guns or big bores ..

    Fat barrel

    key word is heavy .. some guns got plenty of room for it if theyre shrouded etc ..i think its more of a long range thing though, doubt any measurable improvement in accuracy will be occuring at 50yds with a heavy barrel .. more depends on bore specs condition and quality ..

    Only target shooting, do you re-zero for shooting each distance?

    generally i dont like to mess with a gun at all if i expect to pick it up and be able to hit say, a rat at 30, randomly 2 weeks out like i just did ... but yeah, if im farting around at 55-60 i'll click it into zero there, but if i leave it like that, that gun is pretty worthless for pesting...

    Why .22 and why .30

    .22 is cheap and is the workhorse around the house for most of your killin in 'lower power guns' ..which is a virtue if you want to keep it confined to your own yard with minimal damage to the neighbors ... flower pots .30 *ahem* well .30 is heavier hitting for the more robust pests, but my...

    N/A Moisture in PCP airguns

    just grease your nipples when filling🤣 .. seriously😳 .. enough will get in the gun to keep things coated .. if the gun is spitting moisture youre doing something wrong, make sure youre set up right on your presser filter, open it and dry it after use etc ..

    Hunting Accuracy

    'springers' excluded, more often than not with me its a fatigue thing .. i will NOT shoot the same first shot as i do after sighting into targets for an hour or two .. solution, have a target set up in the general area pests will be and randomly pop it .. sight it in that way, not with 15 clips...

    Best Suppressor for High Power Gun with no shroud

    a donny emperor with the optional expansion chamber .. its going to make the gun a foot and a half longer though, and depending on the gun setup, if it has a tube tank youll want a depinger in it for sure .. overall though, before i considered any of that, id ask myself how practical its going...

    Dumb Ass Question

    sightin is most critical for pesting, you really need a ballistics app to quickly find the ideal and so you can graphically see your holdovers and max reasonable distance .. typically ideal sight in on a pellet gun for pesting will be alot closer, 15-21 yds, depending on velocity and scope...

    30 minute SCBA tank

    alot depends on how you fill it to, tank initial fill pressure, how often you fill iow how far you go down and fill to, how much air you lose everytime, caliber, power level, etc .. id guess 20-30 times then you could tether off it awhile longer when its below the gun fill pressure limit ..

    Air Stripper gap?

    doesnt matter, it could be 3/4" and probably should be more to allow the air to be stripped and diverted away from the base of the pellet .. id say the most critical parameter is that the cone be centered perfectly on the bore .. should be able to accomplish that shining a light in from the as...

    Will the price of air rifles growing hurt the market?

    inflation is across the board, except in electronics seems like .. but theres still lots of money floating around for the time being, so i imagine as long as its not to the point necessities arnt eating up all of peoples income, theyll pay whatever for their toys .

    Need Recommendations for a PCP Airgun to Deal with Coyotes

    impact in .35 .. put a nv scope on it, id get an atn ... dedicate a window to it, you need a solid rest, bait them to where you want them and have a backstop behind it like several blocks .. its 'all setup' to be highly effective .. once you got your spot, you can monitor it remotely on your...
