    Swampfox Arrowhead 1-10x24

    Tried out a friend's Swampfox Arrowhead 1-10x24 this weekend on a custom-built .223, these are my quick impressions: Good eyebox on 1x (4" eye relief). At 10x the eyebox is a little picky (about 3.5" of eye relief). Fixed parallax set at about 100m. Second Focal Plane, so holdover is only at...

    Which of these airguns suites your style?

    @GBGUNNER is accurate. For example, if you look at 1860's-era leaver-action rifles we see similar in leaver-action CO2 guns, and the firearm styles from 1860 forward are represented in airguns. If you look at which PCP airguns are the most popular among our group on AGN they are generally "black...

    Is the GX Compressor the best mobile alternative?!

    From what I can tell the evolution of this compressor started out as "poor quality" and Shenzhen Angniu Technology Co., LTD eventually worked out most of the bugs so the GX brand is mostly reliable, similar to the ZY PCP Pump evolution of the Yong Heng brand compressor. YH is not a quality...

    Which of these airguns suites your style?

    I love the Airmaks Katran Compact Bottle contest win from AGN and shoot it almost exclusively, it's such a fun gun! I imagine the Airmaks Caiman would be similar, and popping stuff at night in the complete dark would be a riot! I've managed in the dark with a very focused weapon light on dim and...

    Scotch-Brite Suppressors In One Word: NO! (moderator, lead dust collector, LDC)

    In the description: "USE IN PLACE OF A MORE AGGRESSIVE HAND PAD: Very mild abrasive provides gentle yet thorough cleaning" If you pictures the suppressor generating a push-pull "pulse" and "stuff" from the suppressor blowing back into the barrel, you may not want that "stuff" to be plastic...

    Is the GX Compressor the best mobile alternative?!

    I came here through the "Target Forge Site Down" thread. It's unfortunate some people took the "YH Killer" title so literally, as it's really not necessary. I've torn down and rebuilt two YH compressors now and am still working on that detailed Shop Manual...things like making a shooting range...

    Scotch-Brite Suppressors In One Word: NO! (moderator, lead dust collector, LDC)

    "aluminum" was removed, thank you. "aluminum" should not have been used as a barrel descriptor as barrels are made from various materials, many of which are "relatively soft," noting that calling materials such as medium-carbon steel "relatively soft" is in relation to the application. Custom...

    MEMORIAL DAY SPECIALS!!!! $100 Coupons and more!

    No response yet to Friday morning's e-mail inquiry about this post, so they must have pulled the plug on this one. It would have been nice had they not left a dangler (not complaining, just mentioning it's good salesmanship).

    Airmaks Katran .22 Bottled, Owners, what do you think?

    I have the Katran Compact Bottle, and it's a great gun. Being small there's an incredible amount that can be done with it, and if work wouldn't be bogging me down I'd have time to update my review of it further. Very accurate, fast, light, solid, reliable. It's my go-to pest gun. It came from...
