Utg swat and Discovery scopes

I have 2 Discovery scopes, a 6-24x50 and a 8-32x50. Have used both on 12 foot pound springers and pcps. Never had an issue. Glass is fairly clear, not sure l would trust them to "click" with but good solid scopes. Have owned several UTG swat and same as Discovery scopes. Has anyone been able to kill a Discovery or UTG scope?

Open Pistol Class?

So here is my latest idea to ruin field target.

Limited Class for PFT. There are hardly any people shooting this class. 7 people have shot Limited in GP matches this year. 16 did last year, but half of those were at the Nationals in PR and the GP from PR from February doesn't have any data in the AAFTA website, so I'm not sure if that was a one and done thing for those extra shooters at 2022 Nats. At any given GP, it's a crap shoot if there will be 3 shooters in Limited.

In case you don't want to read the rules, here is what Limited class is. Take all of the rules for Hunter Pistol and remove the bucket and sticks. And you can click your scope, but it still has to be 12x. So limited is an accurate description.

What I propose is an Open Pistol class. Here are the rules. Take Limited pistol class rules and remove the 12x scope requirement.

Now, I know what you are thinking. "If we add another class to an already low participation event, how is this going to help anything". Well, here's what I think will happen. The people that shoot Limited would switch to Open. Some of the people that shoot Hunter would switch to Open (not a lot, maybe 2 or 3). And after a year of having 3 classes with no one shooting Limited, Limited would go away and we would be back to 2 PFT classes, Hunter and Open.

Here's where you come in. The 7-10 people that currently shoot Limited PFT should chime in and say if they would be open to trying Open (pun intended). And any Hunter PFT shooters that would be interested in trading in their sticks and high seats for full use of their scope should chime in as well.

I realize that Motorhead made a similar proposal a month ago, but his idea was little more radical. 20 fpe, sticks, high seat, full use of scope. His intention was to create a pistol class that would compete on rifle courses with the rifle shooters. My idea is more about trying to increase participation in GP pistol matches.

I realize it would be easier to just remove the 12x rule from Limited Pistol, but every time I suggest changing the rules, people tend to freak the eff out. So let's try it this way instead.

Anyway, I've got my protective eye wear on, so let's see what unanticipated direction this post goes.

Ballistol vs Shooters Choice Lead remover

So has anyone used both of these products? Reason I'm asking is something I'm quite curious about. I've used Ballistol for years on airguns and seems to have been a good product and cleaned well. But based on Tom from AAAs recommendation to others I think who were using slugs on best barrel cleaner, I tried shooters choice lead remover. My Evol barrel is 10.5", polished from factory and not choked. 4 groove and probably the only barrel I've owned that been so smooth and consitent. Typical cleaning is 3 patches usually of ballistol with a dry and it's clean. I used the lead remover and I think took me close to 10-12 patches? Had lots of lead come off also. Makes me wonder if the Ballistol has really worked that well before? I've shot slugs through the gun a few times off and on through ownership but not much maybe 100-200 total in the 1.5yrs. But never had that much lead. Unless the JTS pellets I've been shooting lately is leaving lead behind being a harder alloy than JSBs I've been used to shooting? I'm not sure but I did notice lots of lead this time even so that I used a bronze brush to clean after 8 or so patches seeing the lead come out.

Western Airguns  Rattler doesn't fire but once

So I have a Western airgun rattler 30 cal. I have only used it a hand full of times. This is mainly because it developed an air leak at the rear gage and Ive had it in the attic for 6 months. After putting the wrong o ring in it still leaked until I replaced it with the correct one today. After getting the leak fixed I took it out back ready for some fun. It shot one time accurately and wouldn't shoot again. Like there is no pressure or tension on the trigger. After waiting around for about 7 minutes I heard the gun click. So I pulled the trigger and it shot. Then back to the same thing. It's holding air and all of that is fine. I let all the air out and filled it back up twice only for it to continue to do the same. Honestly I need help with a self fix. I can't afford to send it in or ship it for the warranty. Any ideas . I've uploaded a video as well and as I stated it takes about 7 minutes to reset. Also full auto only fires once. Thanks

PCP Pistol  SOLD Custom Prod 22 with Double Tube SOLD

I'm probably going to regret selling this, but I haven't shot it in awhile it's a great shooting little lite weight carbine, but I bought a GK1 22 so this one needs a new home.

I'm just wanting to sale to thin the herd a little, scope not included. Asking $525 free shipping and insurance....Thanks Terry

HW/Weihrauch  Peeps Open My Eyes

I thought I had some limited experience with peep sights, but mostly because of the battle rifles I used during my Army career. But recently a member here (Beard Of Grayling) got interested in improving the Williams Foolproof Sight by designing and crafting an extension, iris and sunshade for it. It was never intended to be a production item for profit and only a few were made, which he made available to members. I was one of the lucky ones and it has been a revelation to me how much difference an extension, reduced iris size and sunshade can make.

Here it is on my HW30S, which I just bought when I knew I was going to get the package from him.
IMG_0853.jpg


As I said, only a few were produced or I would buy a few more for some other rifles. So, I turned to the internet shopping pages and was reminded how very expensive target aperture sights are. This brings up a few questions for those with the knowledge and experience I lack:

1. What is the sweet spot financially, where you are not wasting money on junk, but are getting a reasonably good aperture sight (that includes an extension, sunshade and adjustable or changeable iris, and that can be mounted on 11mm dovetails)?

2. What exactly is it that accounts for the high price of these things? I assume precise, reliable, repeatable and accurate adjustments for elevation and windage accounts for part, but I just shoot at 10 meter bullseye targets in my back yard and will only set them once for zero. So, what else makes them worth so much money?

Thanks for any education you are willing to give me (and thanks again to bog).

PCP Pistol  SOLD Weihrauch HW44 Incredible .177 F/S $750

Pains me to sell this as it’s so nice. I have two, one in .22 and had a hard time deciding which one to let go. Small cosmetic mark shows on pic but is completely superficial and can’t be felt. That’s the only thing I could see signs of use. Comes with fill probe and mag. $800 shipped! More pics if you’d like.

Accessories  SOLD Booster Pump Reduced Price

I’m selling my Booster pump. This thing works great it will let you keep topping off your guns even when your tank has dropped below a useful level.I have toyed with the idea of using Nitrogen which most of the time comes in large tanks with a pressure of up to 6500 psi this could really come in hand as Nitrogen is not cheap. If this is you or a scuba tank guy this will allow you to get many more fills. This also comes with a line gauge for those guns with no gauge . I’m selling it and a in-line gauge for $600 shipped to lower 48 states. Feel free to text 812-449-1963 Mike.

Brass vs Aluminum mould

Looking at a mould on NOE and I see that the 4 cavity mould is out of stock but available in brass, is there any pros or cons of a brass mould vs aluminum? Would like to get into casting for this setup as I could use it as a relaxing thing to do outside with Peri my dog over the winter as we both love the winter and its cost effective as well vs buying produced ammo.


Plus ive already got a melting pot, a noe pedestal, press, and the sizing dies I need from an old setup.

Tuning  Pellets POI shifting after shooting slugs ?

Hello , I noticed several times something which seems strange to me : after shooting slugs from one of my guns ,especialy Kalibrgun Tactical 60 ( which shoots slugs quite accurately ) or even FX Maverick , the POI has shifted when I shoot pellets . Did somebody of you notice the same problem ? I can't see clearly the reason , but it happens quite often to me.
Thanks
