    An FYI on the Discovery 2-12x 24mm

    http://www.discovery-sports.com/product/Riflescopes/HD/2023/1226/218.html This is a 'heads up' post on the owner experience using this scope. I wouldn't have posted this on just my singular experience but I have now seen two examples that have the same flaw. First, I want to say that I love the...

    FYI for Athlon Helos BTR GEN2 2-12x

    I just received one of these from The Pellet Shop and was pleasantly surprised that it now comes with a 3" sunshade, scope caps, and a nice plastic throw lever for power adjustment.

    Atlas Airguns A+

    Fast, great service! I ordered on Sunday and got a confirmation text in minutes. Shipped on Monday, you can't do better than that.

    Surprised by Performance .30 vs. .25

    I recently got a .30 ( a Paradigm, but that doesn't really matter) and depending what I'm shooting for projectiles, it does between 70-80 fpe. I have shot some woodchucks and porcupines with both slugs and pellets and I am a little bit underwhelmed by the performance of the .30 when compared...

    Done With Bipods, ...bag suggestions?

    Wondering what bags people are using when not using a bipod. I don't shoot competitions and am not a fan of shooting paper, outside of sighting in. Most of my shooting is offhand. I am done with getting in the prone position, unless somebody is invading the country, or a rodent is costing me...

    Huma-Air Great Service!

    I bought a regulator rebuild kit directly from Huma and didn't notice until months later, when I went to use the kit, that it was missing one small o-ring. I emailed to ask what size it was, which they told me, and then they offered to just send me another kit, on their dime. That's awesome service!

    Scam over at airguns.net

    http://www.airguns.net/classifieds/show_ad.php?adNum=210929&adSort=&StartingAd=50&NumberOfPages=3 It seems that the pictures of this U.S. Optic scope were stolen from a member of this forum (who I already sent a pm to) and is selling it as his. This is just a 'heads up' because I know a lot of...

    .177 Slug in a Hatsan Vectis?

    Has anyone tried this with any success? My Vectis with a 10.5gr pellet is amazingly accurate out to 65 yards with no wind, but there usually is wind. The trees are starting to bud and I need to shoot some starlings before the leaves pop open and I can't wait, or rely, on having a windless day. I...

    New Model AirMaks Katran

    In this video, between 5:25 - 5:40, this reviewer states that the owner of AirMaks told him there were higher power Katrans being released soon. Does anyone have any more information on this? In case the link doesn't post, it is from the youtube channel Air Bros review SA...

    Zero "0" Problems with Cheap Handpumps

    People talk a lot about Handpumps and their preferences but I haven't seen many people talk about how they store them. I have had a cheap clone off of Aliexpress for years and never had a problem. Not one. I don't think that it is the quality of the pump, although it's not bad, or my perfect...

    Vector Marksman 10x44mm gets heavier too!

    One of my favorite scopes, for the money, is the fixed power Vector Marksman 10x44mm. It would seem that Vector wants to make it look a little more like a SWFA and this has added 3.7oz and .4" inches to the model. Opinions will vary on whether the new one looks better, but lighter/shorter is...

    .25 Avenger Likes NSA

    I'm relaying this from memory, no pics, whatever, I'm sure others will have similar results real soon. Anyways, my brother was shooting his sample pack from NSA today at 100 yards. His gun's reg is set to 2900, and I was filling the gun to 4100 for each 5 shot group. There was 6 weights...

    Woodchucking, it's about time I guess

    I finally started shooting woodchucks with my airguns and it is like when I started shooting them as a kid with a .22, it's fun again. I took the long way to get back to here, did the whole tour; .22 to .22mag to 22-250, played with a .17hmr for a while and now, PCP. I really love being able...

    Gauntlet Factory Camo

    FYI, you can now get the Gauntlet in camo. I wish that had that option from the start. https://www.umarexusa.com/ux-gauntlet-22-prym1-multi-purpose

    marauderairrifle.com

    Has anyone been using this website since 8 Feb., and posting and replying to threads? It doesn't seem to be working for me and I was wondering if it was a problem at my end or theirs. I have not heard or read anything about it being down, so I figured I'd ask. Is something wrong with the...

    Marauder .25 $326.25 at Amazon right now!

    I finally bought one. I am tired of waiting for that side-lever breech and with the semi-auto coming it will be a lot longer. My never ending modding project, money pit of a PCP, arrives Friday and I am happy as a clam about it. The possibilities are endless and I will be tinkering on this for...

    HUMA Regulator End-Screw Flow Dampener

    TL /DR version: Don't crush the threads to keep the screw from moving. Long Version: My P15 was holding air perfectly since I got it, and after I put the Huma in for months. My power had dipped a little and I was trying to figure out why. I then asked on some forum about that end screw and...

    MTC S.W.A.T. 10x30 Atom

    These were suppose to be selling in the UK in July, where are they? Anyone hear anything about a release date for the UK or the US? I think this scope will be just the ticket for my little bullpup. I wanted to get one and use it before winter so I will probably try to buy it when it starts...

    Pyramyd Air Went Above And Beyond! EDIT= DIDN'T HAPPEN!

    It turns out they just sent me a poppet from a Stormrider, which, I had already said not to, because, I knew it wouldn't fit. That is worse than just saying they didn't have it because now I lost another week. Typical. Going above and beyond would have involved actually checking that it was the...

    Parts Dealers?

    Are there any airgun parts dealers, anywhere, that deal with all brands? Or just one person, that will track down anything for you? It sure would make life simple. Imagine if your mechanic had to go to a different Auto parts store for each type of car? I am not talking about impossible...
