    RAW Rapid My new RAW!

    I had a TM of old that I bought in 2013 built by Martin himself. It sure was one of the best shooting rifles I've ever had. It started life as an FT gun, then I switched it over to 25M BR. It had stellar performance in both arenas.

    FX Maverick Sniper vs Compact - What's your choice?

    My compact is a .22 and the VP is a .25. I really don't like swapping barrels. I know it's easy, but you still have to re-tune it in some cases or at least zero it it. I know when I pull the rifle out of the case, it's ready to go as is.

    FX Maverick Sniper vs Compact - What's your choice?

    I have a compact and decided to buy a VP just because the 600mm barrel is the perfect compromise for power and accuracy. I replaced the heavy 400cc aluminum air tank with a 480cc CF tank and saved 11 ounces of weight plus a few more shots.

    Daystate Gun Case

    Plano double rifle case. It weighs 8.5 pounds. Add 10.5 pounds for the scoped rifle and it's almost 20. Other cases, like Pelican, are strong, but way too heavy for me.

    Daystate ֍ Huntsman Revere —vs.— ֍ Wolverine R

    I just bought a Wolverine R (non HP) in .177. Daystate's website specs indicates that this gun gets 160 shots per fill. I get 60 before it starts falling off. What is your experience? I get more shots (90) from my Revere.

    Got this from Harbor Freight. I use the vise on the end for a spring compressor after some jury rigging.

    FX Any Ideas

    I'd start by slowing them down 10 fps, then 20. If that doesn't work, go in the other direction by small amounts. Pellets like velocity around 860-880.

    HW/Weihrauch Dream field target gun

    AOA has a pre-owned RAW HM1000. I used to shoot one in HFT and have a lot of respect for that gun. They also have Daystate Wolverine Rs on sale for a great price. Have you checked the FT match results to see what top shooters use? Thomas, Red Wolf and RAW. If you want a RAW, contact its...

    N/A What is considered the “best”

    Best spring gun ever designed? FWB 300S. Out of production for 30 years but luckily, they made over 400K of them and you can still find them easily.

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

    If you, like me, prefer tradional guns with walnut stocks, consider Air Arms S510, Daystate Revere or Wolverine or BSA R-10. I recently snagged an unregulated Revere at AOA for $899. This hs been replaced by the Regulated model for $1500. AOA has a sale on Wolverines for $1479 which I also had...

    N/A What is considered the “best”

    In response: I’ve owned them all and each has its charm. 1. I bought an HW95 with iron sights. They don’t work for me. Best group I can get at 10M off a sandbag is 1 inch. Put a scope on and it shoots 1 hole. 2. Yes, if your scope covers the loading port on the TX and it’s troublesome to...

    RAW Rapid HM1000X FPS question

    I've found that the gage on my HM reads 20 bar low compared to the gage on my tank which I think is closer to the actual pressure. So I fill the gun just a tad beyond the 250 bar reading.
