    Other Just how much must I pay for "Accuracy" in a PCP gun?

    I know you don't like the Zelos, but mine is sparrow accurate at 30 yards first shot after sitting for a week or more. It's possible to get that in an inexpensive air gun. I hope your BSA works out as well for you.

    I have been officially shut down!

    I've built a small wood fence to hide my outdoor shooting bench, and I also try to not strut with my guns outside anymore than necessary. My neighbors are 100 yards away but you never know how people will react. I figure if they know I sometimes shoot outside, the first time a cat gets shot or...

    Other Just how much must I pay for "Accuracy" in a PCP gun?

    I'm going to put in a good word for Umarex Zelos. I recently got one, the only other PCP I have is a Umarex Origin. I got the Zelos because of the rave reviews, a lot saying it wasn't pellet picky. I've shot about 100 pellets through it so far and it's been great. My main activity is shooting...

    What did you order / receive airgun related today? Thread

    I went to Cabela's to pickup the Crossman 1077 I bought online and had shipped to store. On the way back out to the car I noticed the box looked like it had been opened, so I opened it up in the back seat of the truck. The box showed it should come with 4 magazines but there were none in the...

    Umarex moderator for zelos

    I got the Buck Rail modular suppressor; my Zelos is .22 and got the larger diameter moderator in .25. It seems to make a significant difference. I used a DB app on my phone, tho not very scientific is shows 6-10 db difference. I tried a NFA .22 suppressor I have and it was no quieter, so I'll...

    Advise on asking questions about anything

    I'm fairly new on this forum; this reminds me of doing tech support at a university. People would call in and say my computer is doing so and so, and I would have to play 20 questions with them to find out what it's really doing. They didn't even know the proper terminology to describe the...

    N/A Origin vs Chief 2 Plus S

    I bought an Origin about 4 years ago with the pump, it was my first pcp. I held pressure great until about 3.5 years (out of warranty) and I found out there aren't any seal kits or parts available that I could find. I emailed Umarex and they wanted me to send it in for replacement until they...

    What did you order / receive airgun related today? Thread

    I got a Zelos from Amazon, came in today. I've been waiting to see one on sale and Amazon had it for $423.50; I see today it's back up to $589.55. I ordered a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50 from Optics Planet on sale for $301. This will probably be the closest to a high end airgun I'll...

    Sheridan Help with my childhood Sheridan

    It works! The first 2 pics are the valve surfaces after cleaning up with fine sand paper glued to a dowel and using a drill to turn it slowly. I did the over night pressure check after getting the valves installed (per video from Notherwestairgun) and it held! (I was so happy) Then assembled...

    Got the borescope, this is the one I got: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081T1DN1P?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title It doesn't have its own screen so I used it with my Windows laptop. I'm pretty happy with it. Looks like I've got some cleaning to do. I think I read somebody used steel wool...

    Sheridan Help with my childhood Sheridan

    Thanks for the tip. I've got some gun cleaning supplies for my powder burners, I used a shotgun cleaning plug with patches and auto brake cleaner and gun scrubber spray to clean out the air chamber, and I used patches and other items to clean the valve chamber. I ordered a bore scope (been...

    Sheridan Help with my childhood Sheridan

    Got the parts today; the pump head and bolt from ebay and the seal kit from Baker Air Guns. I ordered a couple of tools with the seal kit. Looks like it's all there and was well packaged. My workshop has minimal heat and it's been pretty cold here, so it may be a week or so before and dig into...

    Umarex Whats your Favorite Affordable PCP Airgun

    I only have one PCP and it's a Umarex Origin, pretty affordable. I recently jumped off and got a GX CS3 compressor and I feel like a whole new world has opened for me. Now I won't hesitate to think about getting other PCP's since I don't have to pump any more.
