    Hey Joe where are you going with that gun in your hand... *lol*

    How to prevent surface rust?

    Certainly Ballistol - its probably the best all purpose oil one can get. If you often take the gun out in rain, you might consider wiping it with Nano Protech gun oil. This really makes the water pearl off but Ballistol also does a great job keeping water out. Rust mostly comes in storage, for...

    34mm rings?

    Hell yeah, FFP and with that range of focus... absolutely great choice, I´d say. And 42 mm should be more than sufficient for good light gathering. You chose the Mrad version for easier ranging and adjustments, I suppose? I really love the FML-1 reticle. It´s very similar to the MH10 which I...

    O-ring size for Daystate Airwolf MCT pellet probe?

    The Problem With Buying A Good Scope

    In my opinion, the new Optisan EVX scopes are great for their price. I have one and I am absolutely satisfied with it. Yeah, sure - it ain´t a Schmidt&Bender and is still far from Leupold, Zeiss and Swarovksi but... it is a really decent scope that will hold its zero, the turrets work and the...

    Need your springer advice!!

    Have you also considered the Walther LGV and LGU Varmint? Those are some pretty nice springers, too. A friend of mine owns the LGV in .177 and its accuracy really impressed the hell out of me. Not only the accuracy but also the consistency and smooth shooting. It doesn´t even feel like a...

    .25 predator polymag

    Hey - I´ve been using them in .22 and .177 but the caliber doesn´t really matter with regard to your question. The answer is: some rifles like them and some don´t. In my experience, a good speed is about 900 fps and lower but certainly not faster than 950 fps. If the pellets are really...

    34mm rings?

    You might want to check ebay, possibly this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Millett-Tactical-Scope-Rings-34mm-Medium-Matte-DT00722-/272334646830?hash=item3f6868ee2e:g:2OsAAOSwaB5XqJ1N or just enter "34 mm scope rings" and look what fits you best. They´ve got some good deals going. I would...

    How does it look?

    Looks like a Walther Dominator :-) I like the Walther sticker between the trigger and the action and possibly the one on the air reservoir but I think the one on the barrel weight/moderator is a bit too much. Just my opinion, though. The sheath is cool. There, you almost can´t put too many...

    Aim small miss small

    Great job! As for the title "aim small miss small" I fully agree. I like to have my magnification as low as possible as it makes me nervous having the crosshairs wandering all over the place. Up to 50 yards, I mostly shoot at 3-6x and up to 100 yards, I like having my scope at no more than 10x...

    SPA PR900W review - a great super cheap PCP gun

    Dan, as I mentioned above, their is a way to get a flatter shot curve but this involves turning the power down significantly which also reduces efficiency (the shotcount stays the same). With that sub 12 fpe transfer port, you spread is only about 30 fps because the airflow is getting choked and...

    SPA PR900W review - a great super cheap PCP gun

    Cool that you got yourself one! Mine only starts really barking when it reaches about 150 bars and max. velocity - otherwise, it´s more or less backyard friendly but I mentioned above that only the 12 fpe version is really quiet. An additional moderator surely isn´t a bad idea. And Crosman...

    Popped another nutter with the 12 FPE TX200

    Excellent shooting! It doesn´t matter if it was 5 yards or a 100 - any clean kill was a good shot and springers require skill at any distance. BTW - thank you for the "+" for that snake thing. If it only saves one guy let it be in 15 years from now, it was more than worth leaving the comment. A...

    Killing A Pigeons Shadow = Night Vision Video

    LOL - cool one. Reminds me of Lucky Luke killing shadows :-) Must have been really confusing and frustrating until you figured out what was going on. That pigeon will never know how damn lucky he was that day.

    1st Wildcat casualty

    Nice shot! Yeah - skunks can spray after being shot. Venomous snakes are even more dangerous. These things can bite HOURS after they have been shot dead... even if you chop off its head, the bite reflex can be triggered for hours. With a skunk its just disgusting smell. The snake thing is more...

    SPA PR900W review - a great super cheap PCP gun

    Its unfortunate that they don´t have that thing in stock but I think it isn´t bad to have the extra energy. I took the 12 fpe port out of my gun and I don´t think it will see it again anytime soon - you wouldn´t save air, anyway as the smaller port just chokes the airflow but the amount of air...

    SPA PR900W review - a great super cheap PCP gun

    Diesel, I´m surprised that they don´t seem to be adding the second transfer port in the US sold versions. If you want stricly a sub 12 fpe plinking rifle, there are several possibilities: - as the transfer port is made of brass, you can weld/solder your high power port shut and redrill the...

    SPA PR900W review - a great super cheap PCP gun

    Dan... maybe not many people own them yet - it might be the fact that this gun is so incredibly cheap that people probably generally think there is no way that it can be used as anything but a club and go with other guns like the Marauder which have been thoroughly tested and are known to be...

    SPA PR900W review - a great super cheap PCP gun

    Hey Dave, nive to meet you again, didn´t know you´re also on airgun nation :-) Sure, here you are - please note that I made the drawing for another air transfer port as I wanted to see if I can get even more power out of it. The sub 12 fpe hole is of a 0.055" (or 1,40 mm) diameter, not 1/7"...

    Fx impact

    The skirts dont necessarily have to be bent. The problem is that sometimes, the material is not as dense in one spot as it is in the other one. I believe that due to their shape, pellets are pressed and not cast - sometimes there the lead has some rubbish in it - or sometimes... there is always...
