No sure if Weihrauch has made the Beeman brand in some time, the R7 and R9 are imported by Air Venturi, and most other Beemam rifles are made in china and marketed under the marksman name. So yep Beeman was designed for the American market, just who actually makes them is not real clear. It...

I am not a gun designer so.........all I know is that when you get used to the HW brand and happen to acquire a Beeman such as the R9 the search for pellets starts all over and I have never seen the Beeman rifles even come close to liking NO LEAD pellets. I tried and tried every pellet I could...

You will find that the GTO shoots well in a fairly large variety of rifles. As does the Barracuda Green. They are expensive pellets, however if you take the time to weight them you will find great consistency in weight, cleanness, and almost perfect formation of each pellet, this all...

If you are shooting a true HW rifle and not the Beeman then I have a hint for you. Although HW and Beeman are of the same design, the barrels are drastically different......so I speak only of mainly the HW95 or HW80. This is a set of expensive pellets, however it has been my experience that...

If I were you I would hang unto that PCP, until you find out if you even like a springer. I love them, however it does take lots of practice , knowledge, and study of ballistic charts to get good with one. So hang unto that Dreamline as it is an excellent PCP. 800 to 900 FPS is ideal speed...

I bought an JTS Airacuda Max in .22 a couple weeks ago. So far at fifty yards it is just as accurate as my FX Crown. Kinda blocky in appearance, but very well made and no plastic. And it was 235 bucks at the local pawn shop, and new I think they run around 400 bucks. Still playing with it...

Experience and age teaches us slowly. I always without fail liberally coat all o rings with silicone oil. Hand tight plus just a smig'eon is how I tighten them. Look for rough spots, little curls of metal, raised burrs etc, etc. Generally always something simple, once you find it you will...

Nice almost never used HW97 in .22 with 6-24 Hawke airmax scope. Has spent most of its life hanging on the wall and looking pretty. It likes GTO 11.75 no lead pellets and will shoot a .25 group at 50 yards with them. Regular lead pellets vary, with Hades a good choice as are the H and N FTT...

Gamo has really stepped up its game in the past two years. The rifles are well made, solid and look nice. I have owned I suspect just about every springer ever made at one time or the other and although the HW95 is still my favorite rifle of all time, sitting on the fence about to fall into...

It has the little cotton filter that they put on the fill line, I check it once in awhile and change it, if it looks dirty. Other than that, nope no filters. Even on the most humid and hot day it is very rare to see even one hint of moisture. The little GX only runs five or six minutes and...

Sounds a tad low. However chronographs are not the end all to accuracy, they can vary a bit be it a bright sunny day or cloudy or overcast. Crossman pellets shoot slower in all my rifles. My 97 gets a bit over 16 fpe with the H and N FTT 14.66 5.54 head size. Put 300 rounds through it and...

I had two Helix Elements self destruct on springers. They were quickly and happily replaced. On a PCP the Helix is a wonderful scope, very clear and precise. Easy to see crosshair and very clear glass. Much clearer than the Hawkes. Kit

Folks fret too much about cleaning an air rifle barrel. If and when, and IF just for because I do clean a barrel I simply use a graphite rod, some nylon cleaning brushes for a quick stir and then ballistol and about ten patches. I have several HW rifles that have not been cleaned in ten years...

Relax. By the time this thread is over you will be recommended to install 15 filters on your bottle or compressor fill hose and provide dry air filters on the compressor intake. Grin!! Simply fill it up and shoot three fills or so and the moisture will take care of itself, it will shoot out...

Balanced, light weight, extremely accurate to 60 yards, easy to cock and you can shoot it all day, excellent trigger and dovetail rail for a Williams Peep sight. There are two models of the Williams Peep, you want the one designed for air rifles, the PB one is to low to see properly with MOST...

I have had good results with bipods and shooting sticks. Thing is they can make you more accurate provided you hold them the same each time. My HW95 is a laser with my shooting sticks, however if I adopt a Field Target position the POI will change drastically. Where as shooting holding a rifle...

Well I have owned various Diana products. Both springer and PCP. If you could put problems in a five gallon bucket it would be full. I still own a Classic 350 and a 460 magnum. I have had various problems with both of them, from broken pot metal safeties, to internal cocking shoe problems...

Sometimes it will. Switching rings front to back or turning adjustment screws from port to starboard does work many times. Be aware sportsmatch makes two kinds of adjustable rings. One type only adjusts up and down, the other very expensive set adjusts both up and down and side to side. When...

Don't is the best way. If you do use flat stones or very fine sandpaper glued to a flat surface. Dremels and such generally only ruin the surface. Or just shoot it. Time you have several thousand shots done the sear has self polished. Contact surfaces will set to each other polished or not...
