    Beeman First Groups with used Beeman R9 .20

    I make my own top hats for my rifles and use factory springs with ARH seals. If I didn’t have the luxury of having a small lathe I’d get the vortek kit. Great kit from what I’ve read over the years. After owning every HW model including the barracuda I’m down to two. The Beeman R9 and an HW30...

    Any rebated Boat Tail Slugs shooters out there?

    I have and shoot a few of those designs. They are NOE molds designed by Bob Sterne. Better known as BBT’s bobs boat tails. I’ve had very good luck with the 30 gn .217 and the 50 grain in .253. I cast in pure lead with a touch of tin to help fill the mold.

    Taipan 25 Caliber Taipan Vet 2 Standard

    Depending on how far you intend to shoot. I’d be looking at a 10x prism scope with parallax adjustment. Real compact and should fit real well on a bullpup. https://www.airgunsource.ca/element-optics-immersive-series-10x40-mrad.html

    N/A Zombie setup

    .308 Texan shooting 100 plus grain slugs and a .30 Leshiy 2 shooting JSB Hades . Both modded up to get most shots per fill at a reasonable speed. That should take care of CQB and long range.

    N/A Edgun r3 or leyla 2.0

    What’s happening with your Leshiy 2? Maybe I can help.

    N/A R3 or maverick

    N/A R3 or maverick

    I’d go for the maverick only because it’s magazine fed and the R3 is single shot. Now if you had said the R5M then it would be no question .

    What’s your favorite target?

    I do shoot for groups using the usual paper and do hunt with my air rifle. This is a question for what else we can shoot at? Here’s my favorite , I’ll usually glue them down to the large popsicle sticks and spread them out at varying ranges. The kids love this type of shooting.

    HW/Weihrauch Plug Screw Availability

    This is the Canadian link but should do the trick. Cut the end that won’t squeeze into the hole with a razor blade. Use the remaining plugs for target practice. They actually make a very satisfying clap when hit with a pellet...

    RAW Rapid RAW HM1000x Accuracy Issues

    If you were to take those two fliers out of the groups . I’d say those are phenomenal for an out of the box rifle. The old saying stays true, you get what you pay for.

    Huben Huben GK1 Canadian Version.

    Advertised vs reality are two completely different things. When manufacturers detune they usually use the lightest readily available ammunition in that caliber. Like a 4 grain pellet in .177 for example. As far as accuracy goes, Olympic shooters in the air rifle and pistol class shoot fairly...

    Huben Huben GK1 Canadian Version.

    No caliber limits. Here’s a few examples. -50 cal pistol or rifle shooting at 499 , legal , no license required -50 cal pistol shooting over 500 FPS restricted license -50 cal rifle shooting over 500 FPS , non restricted license When you see stuff for sale from let’s say Wes, destined for...

    Huben Huben GK1 Canadian Version.

    Pistols ( some rifles) and hunting /sporting rifles are different in the eyes of the law. Pistols shooting over 500 fps , you need a restricted fire arms license. Non restricted licensing is different. Our leaders are making it increasingly harder to be a firearm owner in this country. I’m...

    N/A EVOL vs Epic two

    I didn’t notice the regulator until now. Yep definitely Edgun like. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

    Huben Huben GK1 Canadian Version.

    I’m going to refrain commenting about that guy. But I will ask a question. Does anyone ever remember a time where the leader of a western country never received a single vote from the public? Ya me neither.

    N/A EVOL vs Epic two

    I wasn’t aware of this. Either way. I’m still left wondering if any of the parts are interchangeable.

    Huben Huben GK1 Canadian Version.

    Yep a completely useless pistol for 2200 snow pesos. The law here is that the pistol or rifle shoot under 500 FPS and have a muzzle energy over 4.3 ft/lbs. this doesn’t even come close. You guys should see what we have to pay for groceries.

    N/A EVOL vs Epic two

    Watched another few videos. They both seem to suffer from the same magazine issues. I would venture to say it has less to do with the magazines and more to do with the length of the pellet probe. As the pellets are leaving the magazine into the barrel, there little to no bore side part of the...

    FX Hunting pallet weight 25 cal

    Pretty good advice being given. Sample some pellets and find the most accurate. That’s what to use for hunting. I find heavier non hollow points tend to pass through more often than a lightweight pellet. Of course that’s going to depend on what you’re shooting. I only shoot small game , rabbits...

    N/A EVOL vs Epic two

    That’s the video I watched that lead me to the conclusion that these two rifles are indeed more similar than not. Great vid. If I were a betting man, the TWO was designed after taking an EVOL apart. There are certainly some improvements. @slayer what’s your take on it.
