    [WTS] Air Arms S510 Superlight stock - Hunter Green in poplar

    I figure someone has got a nice S510 with a heavy laminated target stock and might like to have a lightweight stock to take it hunting. ...or maybe you have an S510 (or S410 or S400 or S500) and you messed up the stock somehow? Here's a nice one and you can save your messed-up one for field...

    [SOLD] .22 Air Arms S510 Extra FAC w/4 mags, hunter green (reduced price to $850)

    $850 with four magazines. The rifle is overall in very good condition. Cosmetically, I'd give it a 9/10. It's worn a bit shiny in the touch areas. No bad scratches. The mags all have new O-rings. I will include a full set of replacement Air Arms OEM O-rings for the rifle, too. I bought them for...

    [WTS] .22 Air Arms S510 Extra FAC w/4 mags - $1k

    The rifle is overall in very good condition. Cosmetically, I'd give it a 9/10. It's worn shiny in the touch areas. No bad scratches. Aside from that, the only flaw is that one of the magazines isn't 100% reliable. These mags don't have a spring mechanism in them, so they never clip the pellet...

    Another lunchtime nutter

    I came home today for lunch. I was eating my sammich when a nutter came directly under the tree at the back of my yard and was eating there. I went downstairs cracked the back door, flipped off the safety and lined up on her. She was facing me and I went for the forehead shot. I sent the lead...

    Stoeger S8000E-TAC review (.22 cal. gas ram rifle, 16 FPE)

    Stoeger sent me a few guns to review; this is the first one. I'm not one of those guys who does this for his day job. I plan to send the gun back, so consider it unsponsored. I have no affiliation with Stoeger. Just a low-budget, one-take video. (it's not my day job ;-) ) Here are my...

    Feedback Scotty1 is an A+ seller

    I bought a nice used Gamo Urban from him. His asking price was fair and he did an awesome job packing it, too: double-boxed and well-padded. He’s also willing to talk on the phone beforehand. A+

    SOLD: Diana 52, .22 cal., Vortek hi-power kit, 20 FPE

    SOLD. Thanks for looking! Early 90s manufacture. Trigger is crisp, but slightly heavier than that of a modern Diana. Shot cycle is nice. It's accurate. Selling because I'm moving into a townhome and need to downsize. This is the nicer-stocked version of the 48. (checkered, walnut finish) ...

    My Christmas gift to you lot...

    Is a nice hunting/pesting story. In the spirit of giving, I gave these two nutters each a pellet for Christmas: The first one was making his way across the yard in Forage Mode. He wasn't stopping long enough for me to get a bead on him. I gave a squeak and he stopped just long enough to take...

    Scope mount for HW30s: drooper or no?

    It has been awhile since I had my HW30s apart. I lost the safety when I had it apart putting the Vortek kit in it. Found it a month later. Now, I'm ready to take it apart again to have another go with the safety, tune the trigger, and put my UTG 3-9x32 compact on it. I'm lacking the scope...

    Sunday nutter

    ...chain link fence. I estimated he was at about 25 or 30 yards now, which is zero for my trajectory. I lined up on his upper chest and touched it off *chik* It was a sunny day, with the sun in the right position; I saw the JSB 18 in flight. (@ ~705 fps) It arced up and hammered him, right at...

    Oh no, another stinker (an IMperfect skunk pesting)

    The usual story. I caught him digging in the lawn. He was quartering toward me. I sent him a JSB 18 to the boiler room. He turned 180°, then fell over dead. Must've been a heart shot. I didn't see him lift his tail to spray, so I'm betting the pellet went through and clipped the stink sack on...

    2nd nutter from this morning

    ...for a nutter. 3 FPE would have just left another pellet under her skin, like whoever has been shooting them with the .177 Crosman pointed pellets.* My opinion is that 8+ FPE is good for brain shots, and 12+ for good lung shots. Shots like this require probably more like 18 FPE. * - Each...

    Unsponsored Review of .22 Diana 52

    Just did this last night. I quite like this gun, even though it is not as accurate as my TX200. Cocking it is less awkward, and let's face it, the extra power is intoxicating sometimes. Let me know what you think:

    1st nutter from this morning

    My wife and I stayed later this morning. Just as I was getting ready to leave, the squirrels decided to start foraging. I noticed this one in the front yard. Normally, I let them go, don't want to be noticed by someone on the street. But I started scheming as to how I could pull off a safe shot...

    The perfect skunk pesting

    ...got the S510 unlocked, chambered a round. Power is set to around 20 FPE. (.22 cal.) I turned on the reticle light and homed in on his boiler room. *chik* *POOK* Sounded just like thumping a beer belly. He turned his rear end toward me and raised his tail, but didn't spray. He put it down and...

    Un-sponsored Video Review of Air Arms S510 FAC (in .22)

    Nothing fancy here, the only editing I did was to cut out most of the 10 shot group in the middle. If I could only have one airgun, this might just be it. If you like it, please do me a solid and open it in YouTube to give it a Like. If I get a few thousand Likes, I may be able to buy a tin of...

    Cleaned his ears out for him

    ...range at 12 yards, set the AO accordingly and homed in on him. I took my time and lined up that first mil dot right on his ear and sent the lead. *chk-puk* It was a quiet hit, but it had the desired effect. As I watched through the scope, his eyes immediately unfocused as he fell on his...

    One more nutter to round out the weekend

    I had the motion sensor on almost all weekend, and a caught a couple little buggers after the bird food. This little guy was the latest. I had spent the afternoon developing a range card for the S510, from 10 yards out to 40. (Would you believe it's zeroed from 13 all the way to 30 yards!?)...
