    N/A Scuba tanks

    Last time I had my scuba tank recertified it was only about $30 including a fill. That was 2 years ago. I still use mine for my Maximus. Why not feel safe for $30.

    Thoughts on PCP at higher altitudes

    Traveling between Minnesota and our Colorado cabin at 8800 ft I never noticed any problems. Minor POI shift.

    Ugly paintwork.

    I can relate to the previous owner. If the gun is for hunting do what you need to do to make the hunt successful. I know there are people out there that cringe at the thought that I have my Beretta O/U spray painted flat black for duck hunting. Barrel, action and stock. It works for me and if it...

    Rookie Mistakes?

    My first and biggest mistake was buying my first Airgun. The portal it opened into the rabbit hole has cost me a Lot of money! I’m not sure that getting into drugs may not have been cheaper.

    Exploding ammo

    A lot of powder burner ranges prohibit tracer ammo and exploding targets so I would think exploding ammo would also be prohibited. From a backyard range to hunting I think the cost will keep them in the gimmick category. However I do agree that I think that someone looking for an excuse to curb...

    Talk about disappointment. Vector

    I have been considering a Vector 6-24 that is supposed to parallax focus to 10 yards. Now I am wondering if it really will focus to 10 yards.

    Vector Veyron vs Vector Hugo

    I’m trying to figure out what the differences are between Vector’s Veyron and Hugo lines of scopes. Are they basically the same just an older version or name? There are some good prices on the Hugo scopes and limited availability on the Veyron. I’ve Googled both and get conflicting reviews...

    Best compact scope

    I have a 6x Sniper that I’m not impressed with compared to 2 Hawke 2-7 Vantage scopes. Retical is too thick for close work. Blocks too much of the target. The IR bleeds too much into the field of view. Usable in dim light or a dark target but washes out at really low light which is when I...

    Eye relief

    Cave dweller: I took your advice and spent about 2 hours last night watching videos on eye relief. I learned a lot that answered almost all of my questions. One video from a PRS shooter was very helpful as he explained head position in various shooting positions such as bench,prone, bi-pod...

    Does the exact eye focus spot move as you zoom?

    Eye relief

    cave dweller: Are you saying that using high magnification makes the eye box smaller forcing more precise head placement on the stock thus lessening parralax error?

    Eye relief

    I just watched Utah Airguns video on scope mounting to get the correct eye relief position. As part of the video they set the scope at max power for the shortest eye relief. Then mounted the scope in the position for the shooters eye. They said less than max power the eye relief is more...

    Crosman parts

    I have parts on order since the 14th of January. I’ve called 3 times and get various answers. The parts acknowledgement I received is from a fulfillment company not Crossman, Daisey or Gamo. I assume a third party warehouse company that will be handling parts shipment. I don’t think we will...

    Stoeger Leaning to the XM1 Scout

    If you like the XM1 don’t forget to look at the Diana Stormrider. Made by Snowpeak. I think it has a lot of common parts with the XM1. I have a Stoeger break barrel with what they call their TAC stock. Awesome ergonomics. So if the XM1 has the same design team I’m sure it will be a comfortable...

    Other New to PCPs

    Ideally co2 would be a simple solution but I tried shooting some field rats at about 20 yds and it was not very effective. My .177 Maximus drops them dead at 12 fpe. My Bandit hand pumps ok but at 9 fpe still not quite enough. If you can find a Benjamin Discovery, Maximus, Beeman? that are 2000...
