The purpose of increasing the tube size is to increase the amount of turret adjustment, i.e. more clicks. 😊 Matthias

I simply hunt down the pest animals that mess with humans.... End of story. Matthias

I just detuned an RTI Prophet 1 to shoot Polymags at around 500fps. In .30cal, I should probably mention (➧ 25FPE). Does that qualify as a barn gun? 😉 Matthias

Miguel, I fully understand. I have really tried to LIKE the LOOKS of the K1. 😢 And I continue to fail.... 🤷🏻‍♂️ ➧ I am all in for bullpups. ➧ I am all for tactical guns. Black guns. What have you. ⛔ But the HUBEN HUMP really turns me off.... Then there is the bad barrel band. And...

You people on this thread are bad company.... 🤷🏻‍♂️ Discussions like this are so ⚞juicy!⚟ Just like the thread where the other bad company has gathered to discuss Ghost vs. Mora vs. Uragan. I really should avoid these types of threads like the plague. 🙄 Really. ➧ But here I am: I...

Yeah, it is not without reasons that they call the PCP's the "Dark Side." "Follow The Force"? — Sounds like a case of an Imperial Overloard camouflaged as Yedi. And Bandito — well, his screen name is a dead give-away. Matthias

Someone wiser than me said once: "I need another PCP like a need a hole in the head." I have airguns (and scopes!) for all my shooting scenarios. And reserve guns (and scopes!) if one poops out. And some guns (and scopes!) to loan to others when I take them shooting or when their's break...

Beerthief, Mannheim bridge? I played under the Mannheim bridge in my childhood. 😃 Do you mean: ▪ original Mannheim, in Germany, founded in 1779? ▪ copied Mannheim, in the US? Matthias PS: Mine was the original Mannheim, 20min from Heidelberg — and the bridge was of the Neckar river. 😉

How cool is that?! Well done!! Congratulations. And that with all the limitations involved. Please, do carry on. For every airgunner who is building a range of that length — there are at least 1000 airgunners who would love to build such a range — but cannot do it (no space, no time, no...

Here's my rendering of the instruction given in the video that was linked above (with the metric equivalents included 😉). Matthias

Bill, you and I are from the same tribe...: ➧ gasoline ➧ burning tires ➧ thick, black smoke And to complete the picture, some heavy duty fireworks. 💥 Matthias

Very helpful video, thanks for posting this, Dave. 😊 Maybe you could include in your title the word expansion — because that's what interested me most. 🔸️The expansion results of the hollow points are — depressing.... But with the (calculated) low impact velocities (IV) this comes as no...

Yupp, you made me see the difficulty with my term — projectile pusher it is then. 👍🏼

Thanks for containing my brain fart. I call it "pellet pusher" — but I should have known the term "pellet probe". 🤦🏻‍♂️ Matthias

Carl, I'm German, so my vocabulary in English might be a bit limited.... 🤦🏻‍♂️ I just wrote an airgunning dictionary for myself — so I can shoptalk with Peruvian airgunners! I chose to make it an English—Spanish dictionary. Now, I have a question about your question.... 😃 What is the "probe"...

Hey David, you already might know of what's out there in high magnification scopes with 10y min. parallax — and my Scope Specs Table won't be of any use. I also don't know what "good optical quality" means to you.... 😃 For some "$500-good" is a lot to pay for an aluminum tube with some...

Darryl, I am very sorry to hear of your recent blows to your health and your airgunning plans! 😞 This must be difficult. I feel with you. Please, hang in there. Matthias

Yeah, Bob, that's where my obsession with precision, numbers, and the scientific method took a hit: 😞 ➧ I didn't find a caliper large enough to measure the expanded nose of the Audi (grille and fender)! 🤷🏻‍♂️ Matthias

➠ Well, the lowest velocity was 64fps. ⭐ The quarry was a feather-weight: a feral pigeon. However, the projectile was quite heavy: 27,006,440 gr (in pounds that's 3,358 lbs) This resulted in a rather large impact energy: a quarter of a million foot-pounds (I calculated it at 245,580...

Nice, Scott. 👍🏼 Now you have me wonder....: If "pesting is unabashed killing" — what does that make hunting? 🤔 ➧ Maybe: "Hunting is bashful killing." ➧ ? With all the self-imposed laws, traditions, and the rules of a Boone-&-Crockett "fair chase," maybe that's their way to cover the shame...
