I'm in Canada... I was shopping in the local hardware store, bought a (full sized) axe and a packet of BBs. I could wander around the store with the axe - no problem - but not the BBs, had to pick them up at the customer service cash. Wearing a T-shirt, bathing trunks and sandals there's no...

I live in Canada where moderators are illegal. ☹️ The two PCPs are not overly loud for their power. Typical, as compared to my other PCPs. That being said, the Panthera at 60 to 80 yards is "less disturbing" to the other squirrels in the area and the squirrel being targeted doesn't run...

No, not the Batman and Robin dynamic duo but a pair of PCPs built on the Dynamic block. I bought the .22/700mm FX Panthera as a bench rifle with no intention of hunting with it. Last year I gave hunting permission to the local lads and they had the squirrels so spooked I couldn't get within...

Like MikeVV, I been carefully collecting airguns for a while with no intention to sell. Like most things, there is temporary stuff of plastic and sheet metal to use and discard and heirloom made to last. Cheers!

Life and budget often dictates what you can buy. No Lamborghini for me ! 🙂 On the other hand, spending $2k for a good airgun is not outlandish relative to other hobbies and interests (e.g. fishing, golfing, motorcycles etc.). Over the years, limited budget forced me to make do with economy...

I respect your opinion but don't agree that the Ghost is the best choice.

I'm getting away from youtube and videos in general. I'll search for something specific and quickly check my (few) subscriptions but don't surf any more. The lure of easy youtube money has spawned millions of "creators" who don't know what they are talking about. It's just not worth the time to...

I strongly suggest that you clean the barrel of your new airgun and then just shoot it with the factory settings. Try pellets in the 15 to 18 g range. Don't worry about tuning until the airgun is well broken in - at least 500 pellets. Get to know the airgun before messing with it - and record...

For those used to shooting from a bench with a good rest, 10 meters seems to be ho-hum boring. For a bit of fun try hitting a small spinner at 10 meters shooting off-hand. Most will find it challenging to make five consecutive hits. If you find it easy, go to a smaller target or hang the...

Do you shoot “Report Cards”? A friend dropped by to do some target practice and caught me shooting Report Cards. I’m still not sure if he thought they were COOL or NERDY. LOL! OK, For transparency, I’ll admit that I’m the kinda guy who reads the instructions BEFORE assembling/using something...

Yeah, the male fitting is a bit recessed in the stock, that is why FX supplied an extended length female foster fitting with my Crown. Been using that for several years with no problems.

Curious. Which FX rifles Steve? I have a Royale, Impact, Crown, Panthera and DRS. Never had one release while filling. Cheers!

A HW30 is a nice airgun for general plinking and target shooting at moderate to close ranges. It's a quality airgun, readily available and reasonably priced that's suitable for all shooters. Cheers!

I make/refinish my own gunstocks and will often stipple them with a homemade tool. Wrote up a guest blog for Pyramyd Air on that if you are curious about how I do that... https://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2019/03/diy-rifle-stock-part-5/ Cheers!

I think that the filling whips are on the short side to minimize the volume of HPA lost each time you bleed the line. Virtually unlimited air from HPA home compressors and carbon fiber tanks is a relatively recent thing. Filling from a (relatively) low pressure SCUBA tank that required a trip...

The TX200 won today's airgun lottery as "rifle for the day". Using a lottery system insures that we all get equal trigger time (and prevents dissension in the cabinet 😉 ). As springers typically don't care for being shot off of benchrests I shoot them offhand. The TX200 is hefty to start with...

I agree the using a tool out of context is not a good thing. Personally, I don't like to modify a tool to use it beyond its design extent. Airguns are "low power, short range weapons" and powder burners are "high power, longrange weapons". While there is some overlap each is best suited for...

Why does it have to be one or the other? I use... The English and Metric systems. Fly, spinning and bait fishing gear. Wood long bows, compounds and crossbows. Pistols, rifles and shotguns. Airguns and powder burners. ...as the mood and requirements dictate. Maybe I'm just fickle and just...

When I think about airguns I'm thinking pellets. That being said, I am curious about slugs so I bought a FX Panthera to play around with them for a while. Once I'm done, I'll likely put a pellet liner in the Panthera and tune it to 25 g pellets. Each to their own! Good luck and have fun...

I used to be active in all seasons and looked forward to the change.... Spring trout to summer bass and walleye, to early fall ducks and small game, then the deer hunt and Christmas break, followed by ice fishing, skiing and late season rabbit hunting on snowshoes. 😁 Being Canadian, I don't...
