Evening everyone, Friday I did a bit of target practice for the first time since October. First shooting of any kind actually. It went well and I felt I wouldn’t embarrass myself at this morning’s match. I was right, shot my best score ever but still didn’t make the finals, no surprise. The...

I have an Anschutz 2002 for sale, excellent condition, no issues. Just getting out of competition shooting. $1400 plus shipping, I take Venmo. Thanks for looking.

Evening everyone and Happy New Year, I’m not much for New Year’s resolutions but I saw something on TV yesterday that hit the spot. First season of The Last Ship the captain is discussing marksmanship capabilities with a crew member. Her response was “I can shoot the tits off a chicken at 1000...

Evening everyone, it’s been a very rough few weeks so I haven’t been doing much shooting but it’s getting to be time to work back to normal. I mentioned elsewhere on this site that I’m interested in a bull pup and got some good recommendations. I’ve also developed an interest in a 10 meter...

Evening everyone, I was watching YouTube last night and saw a review of a bull pup called the JTS Brawn. I’ve been thinking hard on a bull pup and gotten some suggestions here but was not familiar with this one. It looks very accurate with group sizes under 1/2moa at 40 yards. A bit heavy but...

Evening everyone, I promised myself earlier this year that I would not purchase any new RC airplanes this year and none in 2025. So far so good, still several to build. Unfortunately my wife has noticed my lack of spending money on things she disapproves of so something must be done. I’ve given...

Sorry to have to gripe again but this new change has presented another problem for me at least. Before, if I tapped the forums link it took me to a list of various topics such as General discussion, pcp, traditional and so on. Now it takes me to some sort of variety page. I had to do a search...

Evening everyone, I ran into a problem with my Beeman AR2078A a few months ago. I use this rifle exclusively for shooting CMP matches, bought just for that reason. It’s been a good accurate rifle especially if I’m shooting well. I went to a match in October if I recall and had crappy day. I had...

Afternoon everyone, I just came in from hand pumping my Gauntlet 2 in .25. I have a feeling it has an air leak but maybe it’s more or less normal and maybe I’m doing something wrong. About a week or so ago it was pumped up to about 3000 psi. It is supposed to be cocked and locked to firing...

Evening everyone, I was looking through the instruction book for my recently acquired Umarex Gauntlet 2. Yes, I do spend some time doing that sort of thing. In a reference photo it shows something in the left side of the stock labeled a QD port. Nowhere in the rest of the instruction book is...

Evening everyone, I don’t know if this is the right place for this but here it is. I recently acquired a used 10 meter Anschutz I intend to use in 15 meter matches. It’s got a few years on it but shoots very well at 15. I found some YouTube videos of 10 meter competition at the Olympics and...

Evening everyone, I hope I’m putting this in the right place. A few weeks ago I had a disappointing match at the CMP in Anniston AL. Two days before the match I shot a sub 1-inch 60 shot group. At the match I shot a 4+ inch group. I think the problem is me, not the rifle, but it gave an excuse...

Evening everyone, I’m one of those people who enjoys classic or vintage things in good working condition. I probably spend more time refurbishing RC airplanes than I do building new ones and there seems to be a new one on the workbench every day!😵 What I’m interested in here at the moment is...

Afternoon everyone, I can’t figure this out. I just got back from another rifle match at the CMP in Anniston AL. I practiced for this last week. At that time, shooting from a standing position, I was able to put 60 rounds into about an inch, which was good enough for me. I was shooting the same...

Yeah it’s still so hot out that I haven’t done anything any more interesting than this. I finally got my match rifle out for some practice. I don’t think I’ve even shot this gun all summer but it was still holding gas. After putting fresh CO2 in it apparently I didn’t tighten the cap properly...

Evening everyone, For the first time in nearly a month I was able to do a little backyard plinking with my recently acquired Crosman 160. Outside temps in the 90’s and humidity at about 160% but at least the wind was down. Shooting scoped at 15 meters the groupings were pretty good, 1/2-3/8...

Evening everyone, Friday I was able to pick up a beautifully restored Crosman 160 in .22. It uses two 12 mg co2 cartridges. It’s been modified to use 10 round Marauder magazines and has a single shot block as well. I’m told it’s grouping sub moa at 25 yards with three different pellet weights...

Evening everyone, I found a restored Crosman 160 recently and am going to pick it up next week. It looks very nicely restored and comes with a scope, not sure which one at the moment. It uses a pair of Co2 cartridges. A little research indicates there were three variants produced between 1959...

I was at my favorite repair emporium yesterday and found a very nice target rifle and this restored pistol. It’s a restored Crosman 1377 in .177. The first pump up pistol I ever tried and for the money, as usual, I couldn’t leave it.I put maybe 10 through it a little while ago and can say that...
