What accessories should i also get for my new air rifle?

[MOE.LB]

Title says it all. I have a rifle that's brand new so far i ordered a scope and general maintenance stuff... So what do you guys think i should also buy to accommodate my rifle? it can be anything from a simple glove to some really nice stuff such as a storage sock. If you have any ideas that would be nice as i like to buy stuff that i might find very useful. 



also a note worth mentioning is I'll be using it for small game hunting.

What kind of rifle?

 

[MOE.LB]

It's a co2 rifle really cr600w is the model name.

Could get a sleeve for the stock to hold some co2 carts.



Bipods are nice too if shooting from a table/bench 

 

[MOE.LB]

Any suggestion for the bipods? preferably one that doesn't need a rail? also what do you mean with the sleeve? can you send an image so i can get a better idea?

Besides accessories, be sure to check the muzzle for a poor crown or possible rifling damage. Both SPA rifles I’ve received had smeared rifling from the factory savagely burning a piloted crowning bit in the muzzle. (FWIW none of my 3 SPA pistols had this damage, though all of them benefited from touching up the crown to remove a burr.)

I’ve been using the Caldwell XLA (Harris copycat) bipods. Some would say the Harris bipods are better quality and they very well might be but I just wanted legs under my rifles for more stability for casual bench shooting and plinking and the Caldwell bipods are half the cost. If I were competing I’d look at something of higher quality like Atlas but for my needs the Caldwell bipods work just fine for me.

I'll look into them! 

 

[MOE.LB]

they look great tbh do they need to be screwed in or rails or are they easily removable without altering the wooden stock on my rifle?

 

[Hynzie]

 you may want to get a bubble level that attaches to the rail or scope to control cant ,they are not to pricey $20 SHOULD DO

 

[nervoustrig]

Sorry about the pics not being viewable, and glad to hear your barrel looks good.

If you want a level, get one that clamps around the scope tube. You don’t want one that attaches to the scope’s mounting rail because there is no guarantee it will be true to the scope’s reticle. One that mounts to the scope tube can be rotated as necessary until that’s true. 

 

[MOE.LB]

I actually do own a bubble level so i got that covered! I'm actually looking at these rifle socks that are made of silicone they're quite cheap anyone ever used em? 

 

[Calbarry]

Get plenty of pellets 

 

[MOE.LB]

I have 500 left fortunately

Get a gun safe that holds at least 46 guns. Once you start in this hobby guns have a way of accumulating, and gun safes seem to only hold about half of what they advertise when most of the guns are scoped. ...at least...that's what a good friend told me....

Buy hardware for a elevation adjustable hampster. Make the wood part yourself. It can be long,short, or be a upside down bowel that fits your knee like the ones RAW sells.

A quart of Alphabet org. Should last a lifetime (OF COURSE that's IF you don't use any of it in your CAR!)

Lube the top of the new Co2 and a little inside the cylinder tube and you should know why.

The Caldwell XLA bipods attach to the sling swivel stud. If rifle doesn’t have a stud you might have to add one.

hahaha, i took that advice i actually got an eyedropper to do that job.
