After many years of ownership since 2008 a couple rebuilds , a few miscellaneous parts like belts and drive gears. It looks like I’m on my last rebuild. Yesterday while filling I started hearing the dreaded belt skip, I knew right away that the aluminum drive gear was worn and needed replacing...

Here’s what you need to size slugs. https://noebulletmolds.com/site/product-category/bullet-casting-reloading/sizing-tools/ That’s where you get the pins and the dies. This is what I use rather than the bench mount . Much cheaper and easier to take to the range...

I have a couple fixed 10 X scopes. A Vector marksman 10 x 44 and a discovery 10 x 42. Turrets on both are in mil and as far as I can tell they are accurate. I’m sure there’s more to it otherwise why even label it as such. I really like both of them , but I do prefer the Vector only because of...

If you have a fixed magnification scope, what difference would it make between FFT and SFP? Pardon my ignorance here.

I sure wish Silco would ship to Canada. They advertise as shipping worldwide. I guess we don’t count .

I have to ask, what are you riding? Sorry if I missed it. Another reason my handle is Hobbyman, I’m a bit of a motorcycle collector although I’m down to 4. I try to stay off the roads these days and spend most of my time on two wheels exploring the thousands of miles of logging roads accessible...

My recently acquired , unregulated Rapid MK2 in .25 cal . No low first shot with this unregulated gem.

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...

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.

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

.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.

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

Veteran.

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 .

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.

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...
