    Recently inherited WALTHER LG-55 DST .... what a little gem !

    Yeah, I would be nice... but unfortunately right now, it seems like airgun buyers are always looking for more bells & whistles and more power... A boringly accurate 7.5J break barrel might not catch on.

    Be Careful Loaning Out Your PCPs

    Perfectly to lend a airgun. If it's a PAL rated airgun, the individual you are lending it to needs to have a valid license. - Same could be said for powder-burners. Restricted/prohibited firearms can also be loaned out, it's just a little more paperwork as the horse-people need to be involved...

    Air Arms Pro Sport #986

    Not at all ! - I was actually wondering how someone could have such a nice rifle sitting in a safe (or box) and not use it? Which scope did you put on it?

    Steyr LP50 Standard?

    Nope, they don't fit... - LP50 feeds from the left, LGB1 feeds from the right.

    Why are all the GOOD looking springers discontinued??

    10M air pistol? FWB, Steyr, Walther, ...

    If you have somewhat "normal" hand, using the recommended size from the manufacturer is usually a pretty good fit... then you can personalize it with a little putty/filing. - I've seen a few shops online that can 3D print a grip to your hand, I'd be curious to give it a shot. But as it stands...

    10M air pistol? FWB, Steyr, Walther, ...

    Do you shoot bullseye? - If so, a Steyr LP50 is kind of nice... As it allows you to practice your timed and rapid fire stage. I think theoretically, a single-shot like the LP10 is supposed to be more accurate than a repeater.... But unless you're at the world cup, I don't think you'd notice...

    10M air pistol? FWB, Steyr, Walther, ...

    I don't think there are real-bad 10M out there... Just pick one you like and run with it. - The wife and I would fall into the serious 10M plinker category... but haven't gone to a 10M ever since we moved to the edge of (literally) no-where. I'm happy with my Steyr She's happy with her FWB...

    Filing down grips

    I should have taken some picture of my old bullseye pistol... it wasn't exactly pretty, but so comfortable

    The older I get, the less I like....

    I don't mind going hunting when it's cold and miserable... but going to the range when it's cold and miserable, nope. - that is, unless it's to shoot at snowmen!

    Air guns and veterans.

    PTSD is real, and therapy does help... Accepting the scares and limps are part of the process. - Shooting airgun is nice, as it allows to focus on simple things. The camaraderie at the range/match is something to look forward to.
