    An Alternative Pistol for PFT?

    I just received an Epic Two .177 w/300mm barrel. I will not be able to set it up and test it for a few days, but as I was checking it out I noticed it might make a good alternative for Pistol FT. I have copied my initial impressions form my log below: Epic Two .177– Received Mar 27, 2023 I...

    Crosman New 1701p

    Received my Crosman 1701P 2 days ago. Unboxed it and mounted a Williams open sight and a set of Steve Corcoran grips. Yesterday I mounted a target at 10 yards and when I went to sight in the open sights, I realized my old eyes weren’t going to be able to use open sights! I had an Optisan CP...

    Crosman 1720 vs. HW44

    I had time and good weather today to compare my Crosman 1701 to 1720 conversion (both in .177) with my new HW44. Both pistols are equally accurate (see targets below). The main pro for the 1720 is price and ease of modification. The HW44 is slightly lighter, has multi shot capability (10 shot...

    Crosman 1701/1720

    I bought a Crosman 1701 about a month ago because I wanted a good PCP .177 pistol. The 1720 is no longer available but was my first choice. I live at 7126 ft altitude and co2/springer pistols are limited in the usability (velocity) at my altitude. My preference is a regulated PCP so I realized...

    10 days with my new Crown

    A few years ago I tried to buy a Crown when they updated the MK1 to 4 barrel hold down screws but after a three month wait I canceled that order and bought a Dreamline Classic in .25. The DL is a good rifle and I have it shooting 33.95gr pellets accurately with 60fpe. I’m 75 years old now and...

    Snowpeak 177 P35

    I ordered a Snowpeak .177 P35 on Monday evening and received it today. Krale is very fast! Background: I have had a Diana Skyhawk in .25 for about 3 years. The reason I bought it over the less expensive P15 was the stock. The Skyhawk stock is the best fitting bullpup stock (at least for me) of...

    My FX Wildcat mk3 BT Compact Update

    I bought my Wildcat compact in .22 the first day they were available, late March 22, from Utah Airguns and posted my initial impressions. Decided I would update where I’m at today. Current configuration - As delivered with addition of carbon fiber barrel sleeve, Wika regulator gauge, STO Falx...

    Weihrauch HW100 .177cal

    21 Apr 2022 I have looked at the Weihrauch HW100 off and on for quite a few years because I have 3 Weihrauch springers and like their quality. I have mostly bought PCPs with easier adjustability because I like to tinker. Also, I’m more of a light bullpup kind of a person as I get older. My...

    My New Wildcat mk3 BT Compact

    My first $1k+ PCP was a first gen Wildcat. It was an amazing bullpup. Very accurate out of the box and it fit me well. The reason I moved on was it seemed unbalanced (top heavy). In retrospect it probably wasn’t the Wildcat but my choice of scope! Like many of us I started on a quest for...

    Leshiy 2 Safety

    Yesterday I had 5 inches of snow so decided to dry fire my Leshiy 2 in the basement to get better at my trigger control. I verified there weren't any pellets in my magazine then checked my safety by pulling trigger with safety on. To my surprise the gun fired with the safety on. I always...

    Standard setup for airgun noise testing?

    I have been testing my new Leshiy 2 with a quality calibrated noise meter but I am seeing a large variance between other other posters. This led me to do research on the internet of how to setup a noise test. Couldn't find a standard setup for airguns but did learn that I had made some...

    Daystate Pulsar HP .177

    Just received my Daystate Pulsar HP .177 today. I have been fascinated by the Redwolf but prefer a bullpup. Electronic controls seem to me to be the next step in PCP evolution and I really wanted to try one of Daystate’s electronically controlled airguns. Finally bit the bullet and...

    Diana Skyhawk Lourney

    I had read a lot of reviews and threads about the Diana Skyhawk and Artemis P15 before I bought my Skyhawk. Most of the reviews were neutral or negative about the quality of the bullpup from the factory. It seemed the barrel was the main quality issue with this bullpup (i.e., a barrel...

    Hammer Spring Tune vs Harmonic Tune?

    I am curious about how efficient setting of the pellet velocity via a hammer spring adjuster versus the harmonic tune (adjusting regulator pressure, hammer spring and some times the port size). I have read many posts and watched videos talking about getting the most out of a PCP by tuning both...

    FX DL Classic Journey

    I sold my FX Wildcat and bought a FX Dreamline Classic in July 2019. The Wildcat was unbalanced in my hands with a scope mounted so I thought a standard style rifle would be better for me. The DL Classic didn’t fit me either but I decided I would keep it. Rifles that fit me the best seem to...
