Do you know this for a fact? I've wondered. They're definitely a huge brand of all/many things Chinese. Quite a few of their products are pretty good value, others are dismal (kind of like shopping Horror Fraught in the old days). If they're just a label, that completely makes sense. GsT

Probably many more than actually check in regularly. A reasonable metric might be "how many sign ins are there on an average day"? GsT

It's so they can claim ignorance of any problems the buyer discovers. "Oh, I had no idea, I never fired it!" I'd rather have a well-used (though well cared for) gun than one that's "never been fired". GsT

Ruby Project with varying lenses according to conditions: laser clear, grey, & amber being my most used. GsT

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool PBer who got into airguns sometime back (10-15 years ago). I haven't had any issues convincing PB friends to get involved, though the initial outlay keeps some away. You can buy a lot of most ammo for the price of getting started with PCP. That said, there are many ways...

I'm aware of the difficulties, but in a practical sense (particularly for airguns) they're intractable. I haven't seen any accurate sabot rounds from .50 on down. GsT

Nothing short of tank rounds are accurate with sabots - if they were a good solution, you'd see them all over the place. GsT

It's no secret that anti-gunners are anti-gun - regardless of type or propellant. OTOH, airguns (and other "non powder" guns) are so far down their list of priorities that they only way they're really coming after them is in the event that they somehow had an opportunistic even to exploit. Not...

That's attempted homicide however you explain or excuse it. Fortunately the media has not yet demonized airguns much, so it sounds like something less than being shot at with a .22 (LR) rifle. It wasn't. The perp should be treated no differently than someone with a .30-06 taking pot shots at...

I have a 350mm .22 L2 and love it! I have not tuned mine *at all* and it shoots very well. Noise is subjective, but it's actually pretty quiet - much quieter than my 250mm .25 L2. I'm sure some massive addition would make it quieter, but that would kind of defeat the purpose, imo. It's a...

From a good restI use the maximum magnification that I can, so long as mirage isn't an issue. From a jackass position, I'll drop magnification to where I can see the realistic effect of my wobble - is it all within the target or am I bumbling everywhere? If I had to pick a fixed magnification...

Just to be sure you're using the leak check correctly: you can't just spray / brush it on and start looking for bubbles. I don't like the CRC stuff and don't think it works that well. Mix some Dawn and water and __very liberally__ hose everything down. Now go away for five minutes so the...

I'm going to have more fun. Mini Sniping is my new pastime https://www.minisniping.org and it's a blast. I might unload some of the guns I don't shoot. I *may* buy one of these Hubens I keep hearing about... Mostly though, I'm going to enjoy what I have. GsT

There really wasn't anything to indicate that one *needs* a $1000 scope to be in the game. Only that the folks that were in the game had spent (at least) that much. Hardly surprising. Someone with financial wherewithal to attend has probably wondered if a better scope would benefit them, and...

That was the WFTF Worlds. It probably cost most of the shooters more than a grand to be there. The point though, was that even spending $3500 on a scope wasn't the determining factor in terms of who won. GsT

Put a sticker on the window, and it'll never happen again. One of those "magnetic" stickers works and is easily removed if need be. GsT

There just doesn't seem to be a way to explain to some people that if they got after it like the top dogs, they might be a top dog. Most of us are unwilling to make the sacrifice, spend the hours, put in the monotonous practice, and do it until you bleed from your eyes. I know where I stand...

Shooting sports are *always* an arms race - kinda. It turns out that a rookie with all the best gear will still end up at the bottom of the page. If you have the funds, by all means, go for the gold. On the other hand, there are great shooters out there, that will kick your butt 10/10 times...

I suspect that their "calibration" involves something like artificially stimulating the sensors in sequence with a light source, or something along those lines. Perhaps just adjusting their prescaled clock freq. It's almost certainly automated. I guarantee that for their price and volume they...

What!? What is that interesting part in the pic? It looks like it's half steel, half brass/bronze. GsT
