    My desperate search for a reasonably priced Crosman 2240

    You might check local Walmart, Bass Pro, etc for old stock. They seem to have dried up on the internet.

    Saying Hello

    Sounds good. I hand pumped my Marauder pistol and Maximus for 6 years. I bought an Air Venturi Rovair direct fill compressor last year. Low maintenance and pretty quiet. Now I easily shoot 3x the number of pellets per session, usually more. It also allows you to get into guns that are not...

    Saying Hello

    Welcome. The good news is you don't have to spend a lot to get a rewarding, hard-hitting PCP. Buy a good low maintenance compressor and let it rip.

    The RWS Target pellets are extremely good

    The RWS Meisters have always been my go to .177 pellet for accuracy. The Hobbys are great for plinking.

    Which would youchoose - Diana Bandit .177 or combo .22 vs Marauder .22vsUmarex Notos .22UPDATE: NOTOS FOR THE WIN! Which Red Dot?

    Good point on the fill probe being easier to use than a foster fitting. I have both and a bum right thumb. The fill probe is much easier to use.

    Quietest, and most accurate

    IMHO - Skip springers and go directly to PCP. It is a very smooth transition from rimfire to PCP. Better accuracy too. I spent many $$$ on Fine German Springers over the last 40 years and even my most modest PCPs will out shoot and out power them all. Fire away...I don't care.

    Filling Benjamin Marauder w/ compressed air

    After hand pumping for years, I bought a Rovair compressor for direct filling. Game changer. Low maintenance, compact, and simple to use. A decent compressor is probably the most important component of your PCP arsenal...

    ''Member Classifieds" section suggestion.... what is the group thought?

    Nah, I really don't care if they change it. It's just basic sales strategy. Why make potential buyers jump through more hoops than necessary? 🤷‍♂️

    ''Member Classifieds" section suggestion.... what is the group thought?

    FWIW I agree with the OP. Separate sections for "Complete airguns", "Optics", and "Parts" would be great. Just my $.02

    Diana Red Dot AND Open Sights on Stormrider.

    Just for kicks I put a red dot on the Diana Stormrider. I also wanted to maintain the open sights for really close-up pesting. It works! When I want open sights I turn the red dot off. Funny thing, I'm almost as accurate with the open sights as I am with the red dot at 20-30 yds. Fun experiment.

    Springer vs pcp

    Foxes and coyotes? Get ready to spend some cash.

    N/A Dots, Peeps or Scopes ??

    Yes, I use all three, but most of my pesting for home-intrusive critters is under 30 feet. I prefer open sights for that. Everything else is for fun.

    Who all goes to the trouble of baiting chipmunks?

    Yikes! If I put out pb we'd have a mouse and skunk infestation in no time.
