So Ive been out of airgunning for about 8 months. I got injured and just now starting to get back into it. My goto cheapie pellet was the Crossman Premier Hollowpoint 500 .22 cal for $5 all day long on Amazon. Now it's $11 WTF??? It's litterly more than doubled in less than a year. Crazy. I'm about out and looking for a good deal on these or a good replacement.

I have had good experience up to about 50 yds or so and that's where I do a lot of shooting but man it got really expensive. Two questions

1) What is a good cheap alternative to the old Crossman Premier HP's?
2) Where can I find the best deals out there on cheap but good pelltes. .I'm interested in .22

Thanks and happy shooting.

I've decided my final air rifle will be a air arms pro sport. The question is though .. should I buy it brand new with the 3 year warranty or buy a used one?. Brand new cost £950 and used ones I can find for around £680. Either way its a lot of money for a springer when I remember pro sport used to cost £500 a few years ago.
Might aswell buy one now before prices keep increasing .
Should I get used or brand new? Il take in the replies and make my choice. Or should I just get the tx200 hc instead

Hi Everyone
I am Clifford form South Africa

I am new on this site .
From what i have read so far it the site to ask PCP questions , everyone is very helpful

I have a RAW HM1000x in .22
I am struggling to get consistent results at 50m
Could any one please give a starting point on the reg pressure for a JSB match Jumbo Monster redesigned 25.39 pellet .

Thank you

If you had to get rid of all your springer air rifles and only keep one or only buy one. Which one would you keep and why? Which one gave you best performance or which rifle & model is your best preference.

Brand new Leshiy 2's in Stock & ready to ship!! Every caliber, every barrel length!!! Upgrade your airgun experience, exploring power and precision. @topgunairguns www.topgun-airguns.com (714)907-0067

Started the afternoon with an underlever springer for around 100 shots than gave my Mini Carbine a 100 or so and ended the afternoon with my Veteran...Even though I was pretty tired and my eyes were beginning to fuzz out this Veteran just never disappoints....I shot one or two groups than printed these last three shots at 45 yards and thought that would be a fitting end to a fun day...18 gr JSBs @ 875 fps topped with a 40x scope...you can take it to the bank.

BIG NEWS, FELLAS!
Here is my affiliate link to the BARREL MOUNTED CHRONOGRAPH I'd been testing for the manufacturer! This thing is sweeeeeeet! Threads right onto your 1/2-20 barrel and without even using a phone app you can log all your shots and scroll through them, calibrate the unit, and enter in your grain weight to compute FPE or Joules, and it reads in FPS and MPS!!!
Using my link helps the channel and shows my partners that my input is WORTH IT! So thanks in advance is you use this link!
Video review coming soon!

in my last post I asked about budget PCPs vs Springers and got a lot of great information and talked to a lot of you, that was pretty cool. thank you guys for all the comments it means a lot that so many of you guys were willing to jump in to help me make my purchase. just now, as of 2 minutes ago...I just purchased...the avenger bullpup in 22 cal...it was on sale for $289 I think and I found a 20 dollar off coupon so really hard to find a better deal than that. anyway...just wanted to thank everyone for the help on my last post. soooooo what's the first thing I should do with the pup?

***SOLD*** WTS Weihrauch HW100 Bullpup Carbine .22 cal. Purchased from Airguns of Arizona new by me in January of 2024. No adjustments or modifications to hammer spring, regulator or trigger.

Airguns of Arizona chronograph shows: JSB 18.1 grain @ 710’s fps, essentially a 20 FPE airgun.

Item is mint and holds air. I’ve shot it less than 30 times, extremely accurate however I have not done any long term or comprehensive accuracy or shots per fill testing. These are extremely quiet.

Comes with factory box, papers, comes with two (2) 14 shot magazines and fill probe.

$975 FIRM, PayPal’d and Shipped to lower 48, friends and family. Not looking for any trades. Only selling because I’ve decided to get into something else. Flawless feedback here under Serdac. Used UTG bipod is included.

Never used, $45, shipped anywhere in the best country in the world

Guess someone wanted a different gift...
.177, Walnut stock, Lothar barrel, two mags, single shot tray (factory, not 3D junk), CP scope. As new in box, $350 & $20 shipping should cover lower 48, adult signature required, only where legal.

Not sure I could do this again, but this is five shots from bucket and sticks @ 30 yards, shot a few nights ago.

The whole group is a bit right, with 1/5 a smidge left of the rest, but that hole will support one of the same pellets that made it.




JSB .20/13.73 @ 805 from this gun...



Had a trap at 11, 30 and 55.
Three pellets went into the same hole @11 so I moved to 30, shot the five above and concluded that'll do, then moved on to 55 yards.


That heavy aluminum stock seems to have made this little rig easier to shoot. I think I'll have to campaign it at some of the summer ft matches this year.

So i got a few good advises here about a bag for my new carbon fiber tank that would not break the bank.
But i was looking around and found a even cheaper alternative i have pulled the wallet on.

The bag are originally intended for a SUP board, so it is a bit oversize with 80 X 40 X 22 CM measurements, and my bottle are just 60 Cm tall including the valve and just 17 CM in Diameter.

So the surplus space inside i have in mind for also storing ammo - tools and the fill kit, mainly in smaller plastic boxes i think.
I will also have to fabricate a light framework to hold the tank in place, and some foam padding to fill excess space so there is no stuff rattling around.

The price for this black beauty was just 199 Dkkr / 30 USD.

I think it will be something i can work with, and unlike now have 1 arm free for other stuff.
It is not as fancy as some brand alternativer in a much higher price range, but i am not in this to look good i am here to shoot good, and of course as always have a good old time.

Utah Airguns. Great time to by ammo!

Been toying with the idea of getting a gauntlet for a wile now finally bit the bullet and ordered the sl30. Only had a little time today but I enjoy it so far grouping wasn’t great but that was 50 yards standing leaned against a tree. Only the second magazine through the gun my only complaint is the trigger out of the box. I think some of the nerf guns at Walmart have a smoother trigger .

I really like the cylinder over barrel idea only because it's such a minimalist approach that it's hard not to.
I've been looking at all the offerings that have come out as of late and just wondered what others thought about that platform?


The FX DRS looks really good (like the beautiful wood stock best) and seems to be possibly lower priced than most of their other airguns, but that remains to be seen.
It will be accurate I'm sure
I also don't really have a desire for sub 12 and hope they come out with a FAC version unless I missed it as an offering.

The Altaros M24 is another one of these (C.O.B) rifles that touts extreme accuracy at long range and longest recorded accurate shot.


The JTS Stealth Hawk with AV looking polymer stock (but seems nicer to me) is probably much cheaper than the FX and Altaros and seems to be another solid Snowpeak M30 rebrand,
So It will likely be GTG. Couldn't find a decent picture of it.


The Barra 250Z? Also likely much less expensive that the Altaros or FX offerings and also a Snowpeak M30C rebrand with a slightly different stock and maybe some other small changes.


Then there's the Original Snowpeak M30 and now (updated M30c that came later) that appears to have started the whole trend years ago which looks like you can only find new old stock that are available.

I think the price points that the Barra and JTS decide to offer these will likely determine which one wins one of the New Hot Inexpensive PCP impulse buy wars this year.

FX will have plenty of people who grab theirs, especially if offered in FAC and price is kept to a sane amount.

And Altaros will still likely keep breaking through the distance ceiling with the M24 copy.

I am not a collector, though I do keep trying to be one. I shoot my guns and this one is too nice for that. I did test it with 3 shots and it fires as new. Includes box, all paper work and it is wearing Combat grips with much nicer figure than most. Includes sealed inventory tag from the Beeman collection. $600 or Best offer shipped CONUS.

Wanted to push the Taipan 700mm to 100yards with very good results....what a tack driver!!! Those little red targets are slightly bigger than a quarter. That was a 10 shot groups. Wind 5-10 mph...

Hi Folks,
Does anyone know if this model was made in china or Germany?
Are they any good?
And what would the equivalent HW model be?
Many thanks
Pete.

Barrel through Plentum ....
VS.
Barrel through Reservoir
VS.
Barrel through Plentum AND Reservoir ...

This seems to be a new, and unique trend suddenly.
Will it stand the test of time, and offer a more stable P.O.I., or will it be just another gimmic?
Reguardles, there seems to be several different companies that are heading in this direction.

I made a quick list of rifles that offer this unique construction, and Im wondering if there are any others?

Altaros M24 (Barrel through reservoir)
Artemis M30 (Barrel through reservoir)
Evanix Viper Pistol (Barrel through reservoir)
JTS Thunderlance (Barrel through plentum)
JTS Shylock (Barrel through plentum)
FX Panthera (Barrel through plentum)
FX King (Barrel through plentum)
FX Dynamic (Barrel through plentum)
FX DBS Classic (Barrel through plentum)
FX DBS Pro (Barrel through plentum)
FX DBS Sub12 (Barrel through plentum)
Barra 250Z (Barrel through plentum AND reservoir)
JTS StealthHawk (Barrel through plentum AND reservoir)

Are there any other models that offer this unique construction?

Using recycled material. I am making targets using silver tin 2 1/2 inch circles . My question is should I paint them black ? If so, gloss or flat ? I plan to center a 1/4 inch round yellow fluorescent dot on each circle. I think it would be fun to shoot five shot groups at 25 or 30 yards after dark when it warms up. I KNOW I HAVE WAY TO MUCH TIME ON MY HANDS BUT IT SURE BEATS THE HELL OUT HONEY DO'S. REGRESSING, DO YOU THINK. I AM ONLY 74. PLUS MY SON,HIS WIFE AND MY TWO YOUNG GRANDSONS ARE COMMING HOME AFTER SPENDING THE LAST TEN YEARS IN THE COUNTRY OF GEORGIA. YAHOO !
