    Who do you trust to ship pellets besides Pyramyd?

    Pyramyd sets the standard for shipping pellets, but they are out of the ones I need. Who else do you trust to pack them right?

    N/A What’s the most efficient PCP hand pump today?

    Which hand pump is the most efficient? As in, most air volume/pressure for the fewest pumps? I can deal with something harder to pump if it fills a gun faster. I am looking to spend less time pumping, instead of less effort.

    Stoeger Experience with older Stoeger XM1 S4?

    I picked up a new, old stock, Stoeger XM1 S4 at the local sporting goods place last week. I was never really interested in them until I held one in my hands. Gun feels very natural, I really like the stock. Trigger is a very long but light pull something akin to a Gamo. I can probably fix...

    HW/Weihrauch Spring piston guns, shooting tehcniques

    My technique with spring guns transitioned to the artillery hold when i started using the internet to learn more about pellet guns. Thanks to Tom Gaylord and his blog, I learned a lot. Bought, fixed, and sold dozens of air rifles (at a huge loss). Lots of de-bur and lube tunes to Chinese and...

    Property management for small game

    Trying to buy my first home, offer accepted, already daydreaming about hunting prospects. About 5 acres, mostly wooded, down in a holler. A few neighboring homes, probably 3 or 4 in about 160 acres wooded surrounding us, and farmland for miles outside this little holler. Lots of little...

    Straight Shooters retirement

    Looks like they are closing their doors. I bought my beautiful R9 from them. I love this rifle so much. Hate to see them go. I have always appreciated their “Our Take” test. Just checked this afternoon, the only springer they have left is the TX200.

    What is a rugged PCP rifle on the low end of the price range?

    Keeping the price of a rifle, pump, and scope under $1,000, is there an option that offers some honest reliability, durability, and consistency? I am speaking specifically to the mating of barrel to receiver and consistent point of impact given some fairly rough handling.

    What is the LEAST hold sensitive, “FULL POWER” spring rifle?

    I normally dial in a hunting rifle in holding the fore end gently by the stock screws, regardless of how the gun likes to be held. I do it that way because it’s a versatile hold, I can always lean my arm or wrist on something for support, and as long as your hold is consistent it’s the most...

    In defense of the “snobs”…

    It’s killing me so I gotta get this off my chest. Lately there have been a few people throwing muck on us for pushing the more spendy springers on new guys. We have a very good reason to recommend these rifles- they are worth it. Allow me to explain. When I first got bit by the airgun bug a...

    HW80/R1 vs HW90/RX2?

    I understand that the HW80/R1 is a spring gun with a Rekord trigger, and the HW90/RX2 is a gas ram gun with the Elite trigger, but I have never handled either of these guns. So what is the big difference here? Other than maybe a slight difference in power level. If you had to choose between...

    Walther LGV vs R9/HW95 Tell me what I am missing!

    I really feel like I missed the boat on the Walther LGV. Wishing I’d gotten around to buying one in .22, I have practically brainwashed myself watching YouTube videos where the gun appears to be the least sensitive springer ever built. So if you have both an R9 and a LGV, please tell me how...

    Just for fun. What is the new heavyweight overpowered .177 breakbarrel?

    I am just curious. What is the new fastest .177 overpowered breakbarrel? I mean, what is the most rediclous one? One that absolutely breaks the sound barrier and cracks loudly with anything under 10 grains. Without oiling your pellets. My assumption would be the standard Hatsan 125, for the...

    Finally, some blood on the R9

    I’ve had little to no time for hunting this year. Have spent maybe 8 hours in the woods altogether since opening day of gun deer. Only one day off a week, I try to catch first light and get a good two hours sitting, have not seen a shooter. I finally pulled out the R9 one day before I went...

    Tuning Might be time for a kit or a sale

    Oldest boy moved back home, could not keep his hands off my stuff. Come home to my immaculate R9 covered in his fingerprints, gouge in the stock, trigger set probably as heavy as it can go. Seems to recoil more as well maybe dry fired or deisled. Yes I keep my guns in a safe and he has been...

    Squirrel season starts in 1 month!!!

    A month from today I plan to be in a blind over a baited squirrel hole with my pellet gun! I can’t wait. I normally just kind of walk around and take the dumb ones that don’t see me and run but that works a lot better with the 12 gauge! This year I am going all out on the squirrels. What...

    Tuning Hatsan 135 .30 cal tuners?

    I saw something on the Pyramyd blog about a 40+ fpe .30 cal 135 tuned by John in PA. I want something like that. Anyone doing this kind of work or was that a one off project? Now that I got my R9 sorted out I want this ultimate magnum breakbarrel.

    Sometimes less is more...

    Sold all but one air rifle and bought this R9. I started it off with a 2-7x32 Hawke in low rings. Here is my upgrade, 4x28 FXI Leupy in medium rings. Because sometimes less is more :) In case you are looking at these low Hawke rings for an R9, it is only marginally better than the irons for...
