    H&N Baracuda "Green" .22 Cal

    BM and others -- thanks for the comments on the "green" Baracudas. That AGD guy just seems to get REALLY tiny groups when testing these pellets through several rifles. THAT was my main attraction to them. From a practical standpoint though (mainly the cost), and for hunting purposes (main usage...

    H&N Baracuda "Green" .22 Cal

    Don't mind at all... Yes, accuracy was the primary thought for their usage. Those groups obtained in the AGD vids using those pellets drew me in! Probably a dumb idea though, especially for use in the Gamo Hunter Ext Pro. Could easily get into supersonic velocities? The Hatsan would probably...

    H&N Baracuda "Green" .22 Cal

    The H&N Baracuda "green" .22 cal pellets seem to group REALLY well, according to reviews done by AGD (Air Gun Detectives). This over several different rifles. Was considering trying some, but the price tag on these is very high, about $0.11 each depending on where you buy them. That's more than...

    Crosman 2250 co2 cart stuck

    As I (and others) have mentioned previously, the Diana Airbugs/Chasers and the Artemis CP1/CP2 CO2 guns have that oval shaped hole provided in the cartridge tube for "helping" to free a stuck CO2 cartridge. I have used this feature a few times to free stuck (stuck may be too strong of a word...

    Diana Chaser .22 Cal

    Interesting? Maybe... I'm still wondering what's up with AN member "Line354" hijacking my original post/photos with no explanation or anything else? HHmmnnn--- I GOT it: Maybe he just liked my post/photos so much, he decided to just "re-post" it?:):rolleyes::unsure:. I feel MUCH better now!

    Diana Chaser .22 Cal

    Member "Line354" seems to have posted a copy of my original text/photos here, like it was "his" own post?? Not sure how that happened or what's up with that.... Maybe I missed something here, but some clarification from member Line354, or perhaps a moderator is in order. No harm/no foul though...

    Crosman 2250 co2 cart stuck

    Mike, just curious as to your objections here. As you surely know, Diana Chasers/Airbugs have this hole already there in the air tube just for this purpose (freeing a stuck cartridge), though it is more elongated than round. Are you concerned about mechanically altering the tube, or is it more...

    Tuning Diana Chaser .177 pistol, 150 shots

    The mechanics are the same, possible exception would be the triggers in the latest Chasers. Formerly the Chaser and Airbug shared the same Diana DIT trigger, but the lastest Chasers seem to have a similar, but slightly different trigger as they have eliminated the adjustment screw in the trigger...

    missing ?

    I live in NE Ohio as well, ring-necked pheasants are pretty much gone "in the wild". A few local clubs raise them, and release the adult birds on club property a day or so before hunting season so that the youth hunters have at least SOME birds to hunt. I live in a city, but my property has some...

    Diana Diane’s Chaser do hickory!

    Nice lookin' rig you have there, Charles. That company is Airguns-Archery-Fun and the proprietor (Wes) is great to so business with. I have bought a few of those moderators (these are the same item used on the Bandit, Chaser, and Artemis) from him, and one is now residing on my Airbug with a...

    Other Cometa Fenix USC Gas Ram .22 short review

    Regarding the gas piston thing, does Cometa have any established track record regarding longevity? I've had a bit of trouble (completely leaked out with a very low pellet count) with G-rams in my Hatsan 95 Vortex, so I'm not sold on them yet (the gas rams, that is). Your Crosman seems to have...

    N/A Diana Chaser rifle

    sek---"Airguns-Archery-Fun" out of Canada sells the genuine Diana article through the website. The suppressors, however, are sold/shipped from California due to the fact that the Canadians have made even airgun suppressors illegal for residents to own! We can't have those evil airguns getting...

    Gamo Gamo Magnum haters

    Gene---it's a FIVE YEAR FACTORY WARRANTY on that rifle. What was wrong with it??? I'm NOT saying you're an idiot, but WHY, if it WAS a dud, didn't you just send it back to Gamo? They would have probably just sent you out a new one. And the new one would have probably been checked over with a...

    Gamo Gamo Magnum haters

    Sample of ONE?? That would be pretty short sighted and unfair to form an opinion based on THAT. Lemons can manifest with any brand, it happens. Re the Gamo rifles, if you can find one, I suggest you get your hands on a Hunter Extreme Pro .22 cal, and I can practically guarantee you will change...

    N/A Diana Chaser rifle

    This platform can be very addicting! I have a Chaser rifle/pistol combo, an Airbug, and an Artemis CP2. Why? I'm really not sure... Just enjoy tinkering with and shooting the things. All are .22 cal. Latest acquisition is a "Bandit" barrel only (about an inch longer), that I got from our friend...
