    Need help understanding regulators

    Thanks @shutik. I was thinking that if you have a gallon of water, but are only using one cup of it at a time, you may be able to adjust how fast or slow you get rid of it, but that it is still only affecting that one cup of water. Without increasing the amount of water you're working with...

    That's what I was thinking. Thanks.

    Need help understanding regulators

    I'm a bit confused with something I heard about the new Marauder Field & Target. Basically, it was said that you can customize the power level of a regulated air rifle with the common hammer spring and valve adjustments many with Marauders are familiar with. How does adjusting the valve or...

    Mole problem

    Are they moles or are they voles or something else (i.e., ground squirrels gophers, Norway rats, etc.)? Specific to moles, there are about 39 different species world wide with seven different species in the US. Some are protected while most aren't but you need to find out what you've got...

    Setting the right expectations for Air Gun Hunting

    While I understand the reasoning behind wanting to "qualify" take methods by FPE versus caliber, there are three main problems with it: terminology, enforcement, and scientific research. Before I get into this, I want to point out that I've worked with Ohio Division of Wildlife on this matter...

    In the next 6 months

    I have both the Omega 75 and 100. Both are easy to travel with provided you aren't trying to carry it through the woods with you. I like to use the 100 for filling 200+ bar guns and the 75 for everything else. Of course, once the 100 gets below the needed pressure, I then use it first and top...

    Do any of you use / recommend shooting felt cleaning pellets thru your barrel?

    I've been using an air rifle cleaning kit from Napier of London as the oil/cleaner is not supposed to affect the O rings and haven't noticed any problems over the year+ I've used it.

    Planning to buy night vision. Need some advice

    You can control the amount of light in two ways. First involves how bright you have the IR set. This is controlled by a knob on top of the unit. Second, are "dimmer" screens you can put over the display. Personally, I've never had an issue with the animals being spooked by the light, but I can...

    Planning to buy night vision. Need some advice

    I've not used the Photon, but I do have the NiteSite Wolf (next step up from the Viper) and love it. Benefit of any of the NiteSite units is that you can use them with any air rifle/firearm that has a scope and you don't need to swap scopes and zero again. This can be a huge advantage if you...

    When testing different pellets...

    I think you may be overthinking this. The way I'm reading your question is that it has more to do with testing the precision of the barrel but not necessarily the accuracy of the air rifle. For precision, I think you'd need to install the barrel on a special machine that consistently reproduces...

    Hawke Airmax 30 8-32x50 SF: AMX IR

    It depends on what you plan to use it for. I have the Airmax 30 6-24x50 and really like it. It does a great job out to 100 yards and the adjustable IR versus click stop along with the locking and adjustable turrets are a really nice feature. The only disappoint I could say with it is that it...

    Hugget vs. Neil clague what's the difference

    The only way to know for sure is to try them both and see which one you like the best. Results are going to vary based on caliber, pellet weight, power level, barrel and/or shroud, and shooting location. I've got a Hugget on a Daystate .22 Regal XL, a Hugget on a .25 Brocock Compatto, and a Neil...

    Daystate Sovereign

    I haven't tried the Sovereign (which are made by JSB), but I can say that the Air Arms Diabolo Field (also made by JSB) are the most accurate I've shot from my Regal XL at 40+ yards. They are 16 grain and have a 5.51mm head size while I believe the Sovereign are 15.9 grain and have a 5.5mm head...
