    Candy Cane - Shooting Challenge!!

    So here's is a 5 minute or so video of my trying to hit small things... I shot this out on my bottom deck so let's call it 38 feet, using my Benjamin Regal .22 cal rifle (read: cheapo Big 5 gun). The victims were 2 bells and an ornament... the original video was 16 minutes so I cut out all of...

    What are your best shooting, inexpensive Air Guns, that you own

    Benjamin Regal NP (.177 and a .22)... $100 guns from Big 5 that like any pellet you feed them. The .177 gets about 12.5 ft-lbs with 7.4 gr. and the .22 about 15 ft-lbs with 14.3 gr. Beeman Dual Caliber... roughly the same price as the Regals (same store - gotta love weekly sales with an extra...

    Questions for you magnum & gas ram owners

    Had to remove it once or twice to get it real close, then use the scope adjustments (elevation only). It was worth the effort!

    Questions for you magnum & gas ram owners

    I have 2 of the Beeman 5039 1-Pc Adjustable Mount w/1" Rings, High, 9.5-11mm Dovetail. Optically centered my scopes using the mirror trick and then adjusted the mount to get on center. One-piece, very sturdy, don't move on my rifles. I also use lock washers on both the scope mount and the...

    Best air gun under $100

    I agree with Mtruitt1971 and the Beeman dual barrels... I have the regular one ("Big" store special) and it shoots at ~15 ft-lbs at the muzzle (.22 cal 14.3 gr. pellets). I have left this one open sights and the only complaint is the (small) twang of the spring... My NP rifles are definitely...

    Trail NP Pellet Choice

    The .22 caliber Crosman Destroyers are now labelled as Benjamin Destroyers... available at Wallyworld (read: inexpensive). They shoot well out of my Benjamin Regal NP. If I'm in one of their stores and they have them, I buy all of the tins! Greg

    Benjamin Nitro Piston Extended Review

    I have to agree with you guys... I own a couple Big 5 Benjamin NPs and they all shoot well enough for the ground squirrels and gophers in my yard, out to 50 yards. Just practice, practice, practice! The good thing is they like the Benjamin Destroyers (.22 caliber formerly made by Crosman) you...

    Tiny Targets At Short Range

    When I lived in the Bay Area before retiring, I used to shoot coins (13 yards, quarters mostly) and beer caps in my basement. Best was shooting a spent C02 cartridge on its side, into the opening. Still have it... Took me 3 tries! Greg

    Does your airgun have a name?

    I have a pair of Benjamin Regals (.22/.177) that I call beater and biter (for you Lord of the Rings fans). Greg

    Watch and Discuss the FX Crown video by AEAC!

    This would be an awesome addition to my trove of (cheaper) airguns... quiet and powerful! But, I'd have to go and get a compressor etc., go figure!

    Benjamin Regal II

    I found this thread and wanted to say I bought one last week for $125. It is supposed to be 23 ft-lb so when I ran it over my chronograph I was expecting low to mid 800 fps... I was getting just over 700 fps (~15 ft-lb). It felt a little "gritty" when I cocked it so I think the piston tube may...
