Was doing my morning coffee/starling watching routine when this guy just popped up into my firing line. I really thought about shooting him, but no need.




I did find out who's been eating all the bait I put out though




He was over there munching on the corn and sunflower seeds I leave out for squirrels and pest birds.

Been without a gun vise for a while, and have had a bunch of scraps/salvaged wood from broken furniture hanging around. Still need to incorporate an organizer tray for tools and parts. Knock down some sharp edges, finish gluing on the leather pads etc. It's together enough for proof of concept to check my dimensions work. Holds the rifle upright and very secure. Should make cleaning, mounting scopes, and other gun chores a breeze.



1 last pic in case anyone is wondering the best way to void a lifetime warranty on a new tool....

I know there has to be a few of you out there that have made these. At least 1 guy I saw selling them in the classified section, his ad may have been an inspiration to put something together. While our designs are not the same, a good idea is a good idea and I'm glad I came across his work. If you have pics of your own designs I would love to see them.

Ordered pellets from Xtreme Slugs on March 10th. Received notice that he had gotten my order. Heard nothing for two weeks. Sent repeated emails requesting info on pellet order. I finally asked for a refund, got a notice that shipping label was created. Nothing has ever been shipped. His excuse is the molds were damaged and unable to make pellets. Said he would send some slugs in place of, no notice of any shipping ever received and now he is totally ignoring emails. This has all the appearances of a total rip off. Beware of this site.

I have a like new accu tac bipod that I'm not using. It's like new. It's for the arca rail . Asking 275 shipped TYD.

I admit I get a little obsessive about it especially when I know the gun is capable. However how important really is it ? I ask as I’m struggling with a 700 mm .30 mk2 to get it better than 870-890. With a 18-20 fps spread it still will make one ragged hole at 55 yards. For general hunting purposes how far out do you think I can shoot before that really starts making a significant difference? Still making small tweaks. My M3 and Maverick are much tighter spreads but I think I may be worrying more than needed ?

We just put this package together for a few customers and they love it.

I wanted to know from those shooting heavy. 25 slugs what is the twist used .I want to have a tj made for my AF.. that all could benefit since I have to had the tooling made.. I also since I'm already having tooling made I want to make one in .177
So for .25 is 1-15.5 .. or 1-16 ..?
For .177 .. should we try 1-8 or 1-9 .. 1-9 is the twist used to shoot 26gr cast slugs in .172 .. I really don't see my self buying many more guns but .. I could have plenty of different barrels to play with my AF guns.

The term game changer gets thrown around so often that frankly gets a bit annoing.

What do you think the real game changers where/are ?

I'll take a stab at this :

the first Daystate electronic guns ?...they sure could qualify as game changers but really did not create a run into make similar gun in the industry so really the game was not changed, right ?

The Impact ?....They sure came out with something different and looking at today's line ups there is a ton of companies following both the looks and features, so in my opinion the Impact was indeed a game changer,....in my opinion.

Huben ?....Well they came out with something radically different and even if not many some companies copied the idea a couple did,....then the Pistol came out and that is a legit game changer.

Can't think of any others, what are your picks ?

So the subject says it. ( lol ) I "need" another gun like a need another hole in my head but . . . I finally pulled the trigger and ordered one up from Tony @Talontunes. Keeping it simple I just grabbed one of the black synthetic stock ones. For those of you who have one - straight out of the box - am I going to be able to chuck at least 30g slugs at speed. Speed being 950+. My RTI P1 w/the latest RPB barrel is chucking 25g H&N HP II's at 965'ish quite well and that's "only" a 600mm barrel. Curious to hear from any of you who have one / had one how your experiences were with yours right out of the box. Thanks guys.

After about 30-40 shots with my springer pistols I get this feeling that it’s almost time to refill the air..then I remember there is NO air tube! Been shooting pcp guns so long my brain has grown accustomed to this routine of shoot and fill. This is not to say I dislike my pcp guns now but I do appreciate the freedom of not having to refill the air reservoir. Having to cock the barrel and load the pellet kinda reminds me of shooting my recurve bow so no issue there. These 2 springer pistols get just as much shooting time as my pcp pistols.

On a side note: it’s crazy how the tempest is almost as powerful as the Diana at half the size.

This guy woke up and made his home in my garden tryed to hid it in the daffodils near the asparagus planted last year. It was him or the asparagus. But the Taipan bite is deadly.

Hello have a m3 with a few upgrades im not using and i wanna add some cool stuff to Panthera. I would be willing to trade fro the right thing as in another panther a or a crown with a saber chassis that’s about it. 1600 plus shipping and fees. PayPal goods and services only. I have a lot of good feedback on facebook and can even video chat or what ever you would like for verification. Pm me with any questions. Gun case and a few things of ammo will be included. No scope can be included for a little extra. Has saber tactical bag rider. Bottom rail and non glused carbon liner sleeve. This gun has very minimal used and has always been stored in the case not a single scratch. Firm on price as its not a must sell item.

I know this has likely been asked before, but:

- Will USPS accept airguns?
- Will UPS accept airguns?
- Will FedEx accept airguns?

- Who else does?

Thanks ...................

This is kind of a follow-up on SpiralGroove's question. So it appears that most don't actually describe what they are shipping, but give a vague description such as pneumatic tool or sporting goods. My question is, if you insure it and have given this vague description, will any of the carriers cover it when they find out what it actually is?

Haven't seen much on these guns. I heard they've been released in the wild during my break from forums this winter, but not much info at all on them.

yes, got out the old mach12.5 after 'years', cleaned her up and put it through its paces .. actually had fun ..
i completely worked this gun way back when i got it, and got it to shoot fair, it actually shoots about a 1/2" group at 15y pushing crosman 14.3s over 20ft lbs, problem is no scope on the planet can withstand the brutality of the recoil this thing dishes out haha .. if the scope doesnt plain move the internals will come apart, its a matter of trusting it, i never know how long it stay put but i had fun, was tagging stuff out to 50 np ...

HI All, I am bob a new member on here, going to enjoy this forum , I have shot air rifles for a lot of years now and enjoy target work and hunting, atb bob

This pest been crapping along my back fence for a year! This year I started feeding the birds and baiting in front of my bullet trap. Tonight was his last trip!
The job was given to my AEA Ultralight air rifle spitting crosman 14.3 hp 850+fps at 16 yard. Not much death action fell where he was at feet action for a couple mins.

I picked up my used TX200 in September 2023, about 1 month before EBR. It was a basic TX200 in a factory stock. After testing a few pellets, the H&N 10.65 squeaked by the best group.

Had a few practice sessions on the bench at 50 yards. I then shot it at EBR at the 50 yard benchrest competition. The wind was howling and a lot of colorful words were heard up and down the shooting line…..Well, we did pretty good and got the Silver medal. Missed Gold by 3 points. Podium was Tony T, Tony P. Tony S. Yeah they had to call us up by last name



I put a Vortek kit in it and continued my journey with the TX. Tony T. was selling a LP Custom birch laminate stock unfinished that I couldn’t resist. I used 2 coats of Odie’s oil and 1 coat of Odie’s wax keeping the stock blonde. Team Centercut likes to name their rifles. It was Mike who said Norma Jean….Heck the stock even has a beauty mark on the cheek rest so Norma Jean she became.



Next competition was the Sonoran Classic Grand Prix and I competed with Norma Jean. After 2 days of shooting we won the Silver Medal again. Missed the Gold by 4 points. Who was on the podium you may ask ….Tony T. Tony P. and Tony S. We all were shooting TX200’s.



At the Sonoran Classic I spoke to Cameron K., a springer guru, and he shot Norma Jean. He said she was shooting a little hot and could use some internal smoothing out. He said he could have her done and back to me before the Arizona Piston/Springer State Championship. I pulled the workings out of the stock and handed them to Cameron. About 4 days later I received a package at my front door and Cameron had worked his magic on her.

Back into the stock and pellet testing. I had 4 days until the State Match to get her ready. Well a surprise to me was this time the H&N pellets came in 2nd. A beat up old tin of QYS 9 grainers took the top spot. They didn’t squeak by, they blew by. So I set up the ranging wheel and at a local practice match I whopped Tony T’s butt!!!! I also won my 5 dollars back I had lost at the Sonoran Classic from him.

The big day arrived, but my springer mentor, Tony T couldn’t make it. We had a 52 shot course and Norma Jean nailed it! We got 49 out of 52, the top score out of all shooters. Norma Jean took the Gold Medal and the Arizona State Springer Championship home. Terry and Scott had a shoot off with 44 each and Terry pulled off second place.



Well Norma Jean and I are signed up for the Cajuns in a few weeks. Barbara and I will be down that way so why not. But alas my mentor and good friend Tony T. won't be there.

A big thanks goes out to

Dale @drpietrzak for helping me with all my questions on shooting a Springer off a bench. He got hammered with questions because it is my first springer....

Mark K. for teaching me how to take the rifle apart and where to lube it.

Tony T for working with me on how to shoot a springer and helping me get it all sighted in for HFT the first time. He is also great to shoot with. Not the best looking cheerleader, but always there with positive and supportive comments. He is always rooting for you to knock down the targets.

Cameron K. @Kerndtc for taking the time talking to me and handing out a few pointers at the practice line. Of course for the outstanding work he did tuning up Norma Jean

Tony P.
