    Diana Diana Stormrider Gen 2 Synthetic - Wow!

    Bought a Gen 2 Syn Stormrider .22 from PA about a month ago - $220. The quality is better than I expected!. Will use it for plinking and pesting under 30 yds. Things I like: 1. Plenty of power - max of 865 with JSB 15.89, max of 931 with Hobby 11.9. (To me, that is frk'n hauling!) 2...

    Open Blade Sights for Close Kills

    I'm a fan. Quick acquisition. No optical illusions. Point and shoot within 50 ft and you kill what you aim at. Those pests are close to home. Sometimes that's what an airgun has to do. ; )

    N/A The Cheap Seats

    Anyone else really like their cheap pcp's? For those of you (like me) who are into sub-$300 PCPs, tell your story! Mine is: My sub-$300 PCPs are more accurate and powerful than any of the expensive German springers I've ever owned. Shooting my Maximus and Stormrider (both in .22) is just...

    Rovair 4500 Compressor Problem Fixed

    Just bought a Rovair 4500 from Pyramyd Air. It wasn't filling consistently. Sometimes it would take 1:50 to fill, sometimes it wouldn't fill at all until I moved the hose around. I replaced the hose o-rings with these from amazon: Sterling Seal & Supply 010 Silicone O-Ring, 70A Durometer...

    N/A Question about Break-Barrel Power Loss at High Altitude

    Hi Gang, Does anyone have any data (empirical is OK) that shows the velocity of a piston airgun at different altitudes? I'm considering buying a break barrel rifle that shoots 14.3 gr at 750 fps at 500' altitude. I live at 6500'. Velocity wise, I'd like to know what to expect with the same...

    Other Hy-Score 814 Junior --- Anyone Ever Own One Of These?

    When I was a kid in the mid 60's I saw these for sale in a local dept store. Never owned one but was intrigued. It had a telescoping barrel and was spring powered, I believe. Anyone have any experience with these ? Thanks!

    Benjamin PCP Tank Recommendation?

    Hi all, I'm thinking about getting a tank for filling my M&P-rods w/ Foster fill port. I know there are a lot of them out there. Reliability and quality are most imortant to me. What brand(s) overall do you recommend? Best source for one? I'm thinking under 75 cu ft, around 4500 psi. I have...

    Diana New Diana Chaser Through the Chrony

    Yesterday was 60 degrees and sunny. I decided to clock my new (stock) Chaser. I used the single shot tray and had about 10 seconds between shots. *It was set up in rifle form using the long barrel. For the first 20 shots, I switched between RWS Hobby 11.9 and Crosman Hollow Point 14.3g...

    Benjamin Dusted Off the Old Maximus. Nice!

    My 2018 Maximus sprung a slow leak about a year ago and I put it away. Last week I bought a new fill adaptor from Crosman ($13.75) and put teflon tape on the gauge threads. The leak stopped completely. Then I put 'ol Max thru the chrony. First 3 shots with CPHP 14.3 were 867, 865, 866 fps...

    Diana New Diana Chaser .22 Day!

    Just got my Diana Chaser Kit from Midway - $129.99. First things first: 1. Made sure everything was included in the kit. Gun seems very well built for an inexpensive gun. 2. Cleaned both pistol and rifle barrels. Each took about 10 patches with Balistol. 3. Assembled the gun in rifle form...

    Stripped 2240 Breech Screw...

    Yep I stripped it by not using the right size allen wrench. It's that tiny allen screw in the breech. Any tips to get that little $#i! out now? I tried a rubberband and a small philips screwdriver. No luck. I tried drilling it out with an electric drill. No luck. Suggestions welcome...

    C02 Question -- At What Temp Do You Take Yours Outdoors?

    I have a 2240 and want to know the minimum temperature to use it outdoors. Looking for consistent shot count and velocity. Sunny and 55F didn't work so well. Thanks!

    Accuracy Question: P17 vs. HW40.

    I own a P17 and it's a fun plinker, but mine isn't as accurate as others seem to be. Lots of fliers. For those who have shot BOTH the P17 and the HW40: Simple question: Is the HW 40 more accurate? (Yes, I'm aware of the price difference.) Thanks!

    Why No Foot Pumps for PCP's?

    Foot pumps are much easier to use than hand pumps, and with a larger cylinder (or multiple cylinders) they could easily fill a PCP with fewer strokes. Anyone know of a good reason why there are no foot pumps designed for PCPs?

    HW30s (.22) in the house!

    Just received my HW30s in .22. Cleaned the barrel (10 patches with Ballistol) and tightened screws. It has a nice "thump" action and has little recoil. Using a pell seat: It clocks between 360-370 fps with 14.3 Crosman Premier domes. Outside temp was 30F It clocks between 365 to 375 with...

    HW30s in .22?

    Howdy, I'm thinking about getting an HW30s in .22 for plinking and rodent & squirrel shooting at < 20 yds. I've owned the HW50s in .177 and we didn't get along well. I'm not the best shot or the worst, but I was all over the place with the 50s. I have an RWS 24 in .177 that's great, but I'd...
