    N/A PCP With Solid Barrel

    A very common way for a hunter to transport a firearm is barrel down in a vehicle leaning buttock leaning against a seat. Some guys use a case and some dont. Im not advocating this carry just asking about pcp builds that can be used in a working environment.

    N/A PCP With Solid Barrel

    Thanks for these replies. One of the posts above made me realize I should have asked differently. The Evol has a screwed in tensioned barrel. From the video of it getting thrown drug and abused we know that one survived. But really you can't find it on the market and it may never be available...

    N/A PCP With Solid Barrel

    I have a buddy that has gotten into airguns. He is a hunter and will continue to lean his pcp barrel on things. Not many PCP's will keep point of impact. I know in the past you could get a Evol, the original Taipan seems solid. I dont know about the Taipan 2. Are there any currently available...

    N/A Whats your most consistently accurate airgun?

    This was a great post. I would like to see a post of this type of "available" rifles. I shoot my Taipan the most, my Paradigm may be more accurate but I dont shoot it much. I bought it to shoot long range FT which I never did and probably never will. It's a big ol pig as far as a pesting gun so...

    N/A Good air bow

    I would like to look into air bows for deer sized game. What makers are making good air bows? I know that is a broad question. But I have never looked into them at all Thanks

    Bullfrog Carnage!

    Are you near water? or are those toads? We get toads a bunch in our yard that drive us crazy. I can't remember seeing one here in the daytime.

    N/A Recommend a pcp

    This isn't for myself. I have several quality air rifles, and a good air compressor. I just haven't looked at that price range air rifles in a long time. I dont want to recommend something that comes broke, leaking or is a bad shooter. 22 caliber shooting around 850 -900 with a 18 grain pellet.

    N/A Recommend a pcp

    Hello, I haven't posted in awhile. I am looking for a PCP to recommend to my buddy. It will be used for pesting mostly. It needs to be dependable without tinkering and of course a good shooter. Anything in the 600 dollar range fit the bill? thanks guy

    Athlon Tripod - Yoke Adapter

    I like to tinker in the garage. Over the years I have made a few to attach to a tripod and removed a leg for HFT. Bellow is a link that shows a couple one with a v block made from a rubber transom saver and the other is an aluminum plate with a front rest attached. I have used both with good...

    StrelokPro

    On my iPhone I have it set to synchronize with my iPad. The only reason I did this was it's easier to look at in the house than the phone. But after reading your post it is my hope that upon getting a new phone I can sync it with my iPad.

    Official Thread - Alkin owners - check in!

    There were two issues I had when I first tried filling my tank. There was so mush restriction that the pressure relief would open on my compressor. When I used the micro hose. But connecting to the bottle directly I didnt have the back pressure issue. then I found there was a flow restrictor...

    (1 of 2) How to machine a barrel blank on hobby equipment (new .22 for my BRK Ghost)

    I spent the afternoon making 8 delrin bushings for my pioneer door hinges on my 920 Jet. Just focusing on hitting dimensions repeatable was a challenge. So Im making an effort to learn. its just slow.

    Do-All Quadrant target (don't do it)

    I can cut out 1/5 scale silhouettes by hand ok. But any smaller I can't move fast enough so I have to cut shy of my line and do a lot of grinding. Those quadrant targets take some time to layout to get the gaps symmetrical and close enough a pellet won't pass between plates. If you plan to make...

    Scope that can see 22 caliber holes at 100 yards

    I use to shoot black targets at 100 meters quite often. Some days I couldn't reliably see 22 holes with my leupold spotting scope. But I could see 7mm holes always. So I was on a quest for a better spotting scope. Talking at the range one day about quality scopes. I was invited to a juniors high...
