    N/A The new mordax

    I’ve had and sold 2 L2 and a sidewinder s. I’ve got a gk1 and lcs still, so far they have been my favorite. I like the triggers better in them, I have noticed at higher pressure(regulated or unregulated) the hammerless guns are quieter. The gk1 is my favorite of the bunch personally, mine is...

    N/A Craziest build/worse build

    I’ve thought of putting the dnt 225 on this gk1 setup. It’s running 15.89 hades at 870fps right now. I might need a larger can… 🤣

    RAW Rapid SUBMOA barrel on RAW HM1000x

    So far my mora is my favorite slug gun. Mine is a 357 and I just got a 30 barrel, now I need a 25 cal. But maybe my wife will sell her lcs and get an epic and I’ll get her a hammer barrel made for Christmas.

    Need Advice on Which Airgun to Keep

    Mine wouldn’t care if I owned 200…. Last year I had her spotting on the handheld thermal while I was shooting mice on the hillside. Now I’m putting her a setup together because she wants to shoot with me. I do my best to encourage and not discourage her. But I’ve gotten several people into...

    Need Advice on Which Airgun to Keep

    Try to get he to shoot with you one evening, but make it fun. You need targets that knock over or react in some way. I got my wife to start shooting with me that way. 204ruger exploding soda cans. But she prefers the airguns due to noise.

    RAW Rapid SUBMOA barrel on RAW HM1000x

    I’m really interested in your results, my ghost is probably my favorite I own. I might have to get one in 25 cal if the results are good.

    Tuning Announcement from Umair Bhaur, I am not well

    I hate to read this, I always enjoy seeing your builds. Take care of yourself first, your health is far more important.

    The old Air Gun Nation

    I have been here since 2018, I lurked for about a year before joining. I still have my 22 cal silver streak that was my first, it’s probably 35 years old. Me and dad use to shoot it because I was too small to pump it. My uncle had a really old 20cal Benjamin and wish I could have ended up with...

    Airforce Airforce & RAW at SHOT Show 2025!

    I think the Picatinny rail has become the standard for most, the lower profile is mainly width. The width doesn’t really matter once you install rings and a scope. With the energy these are getting up to it’s like shooting black powder without the smoke. They are slowly approaching the 45-70...

    The Avenge-X's Big Brother: Welcome the Avenge-XL to the Family

    So you’re saying they should have released it with open sights and springer? Multipump? Built in compressor? Personally I think it will be a big hit, especially if the accuracy is there for guys wanting a hunting rig. I might give one a shot.

    First attempt at Calling Coyotes to Air gun

    I hunt tight woods, but I hunt at night which does give me a bit of an advantage. Normally I sit towards the top of my pond levee with my caller below me about 35yards away. I’ve had better luck setting up on the side of the pond levee with my head above the levee. My levee is about 20ft tall...

    Thermal optics

    Who deals hikmicro in the states? I’m jealous, the 1280 looks so good and I know the eyepiece looks better then videos or pics.

    Thermal optics

    I absolutely love my scanner, I use it all the time. I also have a dnt225. If you have a nv scope adding a scanner would be a good option. I use mine almost every night.

    First deer with an airgun.

    We used bacon ends or really cheap fatty burger to add in on the burger. Now I’m wanting some pan fried back strap…. 🤤

    Thermal optics

    Okay I got curious so I brewed my morning coffee and dug out my scope. Here is 5 yards with the hand held(telos) and older iray bolt. Telos has range finder showed 5 yards to coffee mug. Iray you can actually see where the graphics on the mug are holding in some of the heat.

    First deer with an airgun.

    That is good eating, way better than an old buck. Back when I used to hunt we rarely had our processed, unless we didn’t have time. I took 110 lbs of deboned meat from good fatty doe and received old buck back. It was awful, smelled strong, tasted strong, just disappointed. It was the last one...

    First deer with an airgun.

    I remember being in parts of Arkansas and Florid, I think my dog is as big as their doe. It’s crazy how much it varies buy just a few 100 miles. I’m an ironworker worker so I work with guys all over the us sometimes internationally. It’s fun sharing pictures and talking hunting. Apparently guys...

    Thermal optics

    Okay I took my hand held out it will focus to 5 yards it is a telos xp50. It’s a 640x480 2.5 mag( but angular view is more important for you). 12.4x9.3 degrees which equals 65.1ftwide x49ft high fov at 100 yards roughly. But anyways here is a couple pics of my dobe at 5 yards, she is 110ish lbs...

    Thermal optics

    If it’s that close you can run 256. But 384 would be amazing at that range. This is a mouse at 50 yards on my Iray th50c it’s a 640 unit. But for your uses I would look at the bolt tl 25 2x base mag(thermal and nv tend to have a narrow fov). It’s a 384 unit for $1500 plus it looks like a...
