    Karma Karma Red Panda Bench Model

    Derrick I am not saying that All of the gun construction and components are of poor quality... What I am saying is for the retail price point of this gun they certainly should Not put Any cheap parts on it.. You don't see "50 cent" gauges on a German. Czech, or Any European gun at, or below...

    Karma Karma Red Panda Bench Model

    I was thinking the same thing... You would have thought they would spend a few more bucks and install a decent set of gauges consider9ng the sales price of the gun ... As the saying goes "You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the girl" ...

    What are your thoughts on aea pellets?

    I received a few this weekend as well. I ordered some .22 in 25.3 and 21.9 .25 in 25.3 The .22 cal 25.3 are every bit as accurate in my Taipan Vet II Standard as the FX and the JSB in the same caliber. The FX Used to be the most accurate out of that gun until I shot the AEA pellets... They...

    Other First PCP help

    Mine comes in at 8.9lbs scoped... I guess my question to you is have you ever shouldered one, or used one in the field? Yes mine is almost 9 pounds, but the ergonomics and balance of the gun make it more than manageable ... I guess me being 6'.3", and coming in at 260 on the scale myself may...

    Other First PCP help

    If you want to up your budget just a bit I would throw the Huben K1 into the mix. Very Lightweight Short in OAL Can be as powerful as you want, or as tame as you want. The gun can easily reach 60ft/lb in a .22 Oh and let's not forget it is a Semi Auto I have a 2022 in .22 and it absoulutely...

    Niksan Regulating a Niksan Ozark

    Yeah this entire line of guns seems to be overlooked, over shadowed, or just out right ignored. They have been out for some time now, yet you see almost nothing written up or on video about them.. I'm not sure if it;s a poor job by the manufacturer, by the dealers, or both. I would have...

    Air Venturi Avenger 177 ammo and tune?

    Not sure if yours is the original avenger or the newer avenge x ? I don't think there is too much of a difference, other than the regulator.. so this will probably be relative. Here is what I personally found with the avenge x in .177...

    FX New DREAMLINE tac 25

    The Dreamline is not known as a power house . Can it get to what you are asking it to? maybe... If yours is the 500mm barrel version it's going to be tough to get to 900 with a 25.39gr pellet. I will say this and you can take it for what it's worth. Tuning Any gun to it's absolute max is Not...

    Budget tier FFP LPVO?

    Have a look on www.overstockoptics.com They have a few lvpo scopes listed right now. The cool thing about them is when you click on a scope and bring it up on the screen then go to exit out you will get a pop up screen saying name your own price/make offer. They respond Very fast with an...

    FX DRS Classic .177 Initial Review

    Yeah I did try a multitude of different reg pressures, starting at 90 and worked up to 120 slowly and methodically, as well as adjusting the hammer spring accordingly. I just never could get the 13.4gr pellets to group all that well. I tried both the JSB and FX with basically the same groups...
