    Moisture. How big a deal is it?

    I use the small inline filters on the compressor side AND the gun side of my whip and compulsively change the elements. Have yet to see or feel any moisture in the second filter.

    Ranking the cheap scopes

    I love my $70 Hammers 3-9x32AO "magnum springer" scope on my Marauder. Fast focus equipped and the objective lens is adjustable down to 5 yards. Took a few shots to hold poi after the initial adjustments. Haven't touched the turrets in probably 1000 rounds since last sighted. I will try their...

    Tuning Why aren't springers externally preload adustable?

    I agree with that statement, however the title of the thread is "why aren't springers externally adjustable", not "why doesnt someone make a niche model that has multiple power settings". There are springers with multiple power settings. If you want one you can buy one. If you think you can do...

    Huben Hugh-ben or Hoo-ben?

    Why would anyone need a $1200 gun just to shoot at home? A p17 is $50.

    Airgun Videos on X (Twitter)

    X has recently upgraded/revised the monetization of videos. For all you YouTubers, you might want to be looking into uploading directly to that platform instead of just linking your YT vids . Almost no extra work. Pro tip, almost every social media platform will throttle links from any other...

    Tuning Why aren't springers externally preload adustable?

    Simplicity is one of the hallmarks of a great springer. Profit Margin vs. Demand. Liability.

    N/A BARRA is also coming out with a bottleless rifle too....!!!

    The Marauder is still the top selling PCP from any company anywhere. They aren't the least bit concerned.

    N/A BARRA is also coming out with a bottleless rifle too....!!!

    Why would they? Velocity Outdoor is 100% about the bottom line. All the tooling and design for the Marauder has been paid for a million times over so the Marauder is undoubtedly one of if not their highest profit margin on any model and they aren't going to go backwards on that now. They are...

    What’s your daily job?

    Wow. This site is mostly comprised of retired people eh. Wonder why the 'younger' crowd isn't as attracted to this forum. Just kidding. I know why but I'll likely get banned if I say so. I was raised into construction 3rd generation, did that for 20+ years but eventually drifted to my passion...

    What was your first PCP?

    Since all pumpers are actually pcp's with an onboard pump, mine was a 760 Pumpmaster. 1st bulk fill pcp was an Icon. Glad I waited til there was an insane deal on them since they need essentially everything upgraded or tinkered with to be a good gun.

    This reminds me of some of the 'reality' shows where either the person appraising an item is the buyers buddy or the person selling is the one appraising. Pretty elementary flaw in this discussion. He sells the guns, he's not going to tell you they have an issue.

    N/A Barra 250Z (Shot Show booth footage)

    I don't like that they essentially claim this is their design. "What WE did was" *order a component gun from China like everyone else then put a different stock on it and call it our design* There's a good reason pcp prices are coming down fast. It's because so many of them are the same gun or...

    Hatsan New Velox semi auto pcp pistol

    Please name some co2 pistols that produce 16fpe from the factory. I'm interested. The Velox looks great to me. Price point will determine value. The Huben is $1200. Talk all you want but most reasonable people aren't going to spend that much when there are 10,000 pb's that will outperform it...

    Benjamin PROD Power Adjustment?

    Cool. When you get one, be sure to establish a standard for distance from the muzzle to the first light strip so you get consistent data. About 2-3 feet back is a good range. If you have the muzzle too close when testing it can give you funky results. Mostly an issue with co2 guns but pcps will...

    Benjamin PROD Power Adjustment?

    First step to finding a good tune for any adjustable pcp is to purchase a chronograph because you cant know what the tuning is doing if you don't have one. Did you try to get all 40 shots on one fill? If you increase power, you will decrease the shot count at effective velocity. My advice...

    Crosman Crosman 2260 IN STOCK??

    Nice, I'll keep a lookout. I'd like to find a 1359 barrel to build a .25 icon because I have another one in the box here. It's either that or shorten and thread the tube and chop the stock up to make an Icon pistol in .22. Essentially a 2nd gen PRod of sorts but likely more power potential...
