    Watch & Discuss the Air Venturi Avenger!!

    Having talked with friends I know I am not alone in refraining from buying anything from China. International politics aside. Supporting a country with human rights abuses on a massive scale is unconscionable, stomach wrenching. Every time I use a Chinese item I now think about slave labor...

    Am I expecting too much from a new Hawke Sidewinder 30 8.5-25X42mm?

    Assuming you've checked the ocular and parallax, it appears that you have reason to return the scope. It costs more money to have high quality magnification scopes higher than 18/20x so the appearance of such on budget scopes will tend to mean poorer clarity than those of lower magnification...

    Hatsan Gladius Cylinder Problem

    Apologies if I've missed something, but have you tried disconnecting the cylinder from the rifle before refilling with air? If the cylinder is fixed to the rifle then make sure the rifle is cocked with safety on (to ensure there is no hammer pressure on the valve pin/poppet-therein ensuring air...

    Walter White joins Daystate

    http://www.daystate.com/images/content/news/Iberica-DS-4.jpg I knew he wasn't dead, but rather a shocker that he is an airgunner.

    Finally got to shoot 50 yards

    Bipod, loaded or free to move, on a hard or bouncy object is a questionable recipe for accuracy. Try a bag filed with either sand, rice, or my current favourite.....BB's. Search for the stock's best resting position and yes, gently hold/cup that fore end. If I sound like a particular Antipodean...

    Robert Lane regulator for my S510 (help Matt please ?! =) )

    James Dean, my previous post was not addressed to yourself or any other; they were just general remarks. I don't know why you have chosen to assume so many things, which are incorrect, and so I won't bother commenting further. Good day.

    Scopes, FFP vs. SFP

    Hotbrass, Would you prefer a FFP scope for hunting at short distances through branches ..... such as when after squirrels, which are often hard to track unless at low magnification, or birds.

    Athlon Optics. Finaly we have more scope options. Including close focus and FFP.

    I advise caution. Hot air can quickly dissipate. Advice should be balanced, and considered especially hard with others' money involved.

    Robert Lane regulator for my S510 (help Matt please ?! =) )

    I don’t work for Robert Lane but, as a regular customer for his regulators, and after reading this thread I thought I’d better comment. (Neither has he asked me to comment). Airgun Regulator’s normal website is down so presently the easiest way to order is via ebay, normally sent out same day...

    H+n .25 grizzly's

    A promising result, presumably with a choked barrel. I'd be grateful, if you have some callipers, if you could measure the exact diameter and length of one of these "bullets". Thanks.

    Hawke sidewinder turrets.

    “FastEddie Cookie. Get over yourself. Your opinion is yours and means nothing to me. My experience with Hawke scopes are exactly what I said. Just because your a Hawke hater doesn’t change the facts as I stated. That’s why the two top guys in the airgun industry are using Hawke sidewinder...

    Hawke sidewinder turrets.

    “— FastEddie Hawke sidewinder tactical scopes are the best bang for your buck. Mine ALWAYS returns to zero. No issues, crystal clear at any magnification, turrets work great. Moa/Mildot scopes are more precise than mil/ mil scopes and its not rocket science to do math. Simple calculations. The...

    Chronograph

    My advice, for a first Chrono, is to buy an inexpensive "Chrony" because if like me (don't want to think how many thousands of pellets every year) you'll shoot one every couple of years and regret the expense.

    H&N rabbit magnum pellet accuracy

    With different .22 PCP rifles and barrels up to about 875 fps, accuracy has been dreadful. With one choked barrel I would get maybe 20% of shots that landed on top of each other but the rest were flying all over the place. I tried sorting them be weight and size (length/head/waist) but...

    Hawke sidewinder turrets.

    I have operated the turrets of literally dozens of Sidewinder scopes and never come across a single one that would ALWAYS return to zero after turning both vertical and horizontal turrets; the design of the turrets and manufacturing standards simply aren't up to it. Even Schmidt & Bender scopes...

    Best 6-24x scope in the 300-400USD price range

    Best for what? Someone giving reasonable advice based upon actual experience would first have to know what you will use the scope for. Target shooting? Pest control? Hunting? Over what exact distances? For what game?

    Scope Test - Does yours pass?

    My Falcon scopes track well, but then they are recoil tested and collimator tested by Falcon prior to shipping, though once getting into second half of adjustments I sometimes think they are 1/10th MRAD out; which is pretty much insignificant to my airgunning, and happens on a Schmidt & Bender...

    MTC taipan 4-16x50 V. Falcon menace 5.5-25x50

    The first thing you should consider is the fundamental difference between the two, being that one if first focal plane and the other second. I suggest a search this forum for details.

    Question for folks in England concerning FAC?

    Had your father joined the BASC then I am sure that they could have advised him properly to terms of whether he would be successful, what to say/write on the application or even seek the shotgun’s reclassification as historic and therefore avoid having to apply for a Shotgun Cert. They helped me...

    Question for folks in England concerning FAC?

    I am rather surprised to read than owning a gun cabinet and basic check to see whether the person has a simple reason (which as suggested can be permission to shoot/member of a gun club) to have a shotgun is considered a "hard" process.
