So you got yourself a quality HW spring gun, put a tune kit in it, put a decent scope on it, put a couple tins through it. Not talking about your best day, just your average performance, 10 shot groups 20 yards, what do you expect? ctc measured, not show boating. I'm asking because I really don't know how to tell if I've got a shooter or not. In powder burners, deer rifles I like my guns to be close to an inch at 100 yards, some are better, some 1 1/2" is the best I can get them.

But i got to give this guy a BIG shout out" i thought i was going to have to send this rifle back" it was NOT" neighborhood friendly and then this thing came in the mail" i could not believe the difference" i did here it hit the soup can"{ BUCK RAIL} you are my savior "its that thing on the end.

I’m confused… I saw this in the classifieds. Wtf? Is there some forum rule I’m unaware of?

Man, this year is getting interesting for sure

So AoA called today about my sidewinder pre-order. It is no longer a pre-order.
Woohoo!

PJ Clark of Wisconsin Airgunners has got his hands on the brand new Diana XR200. And in the words of Doug Marcaida... "It will Kill"



He claims this is the 1st victim the USA.

I have a great condition wildcat mk3 compact. It is .25 with a 500mm barrel and tube. Comes in factory case with one magazine, fill probe, and donny FX moderator. $1100TYD if you need a tin of pellets to get started I can add some for a fee. Any questions feel free to ask. Oh and yes unlike some others hesitant when listing a picture will show the power wheel has not be abused.

Modified a Fortitude tube by drilling just two holes for the P-Rod breech. Was going to order a Boyd's Rimfire Hunter stock for the Disco, but the universe put the brakes on: my water pump went out on my 2001 Ford Ranger, so opted for the $18.40 Maximus stock from Crosman Parts Department.


With a 2500 psi fill, got a 16 shot (2 mags) string starting on 910 and ending on 860, so still have some tweaking, but she's nice & light for sure. Stuffed an old raggedy hand towel in the buttstock, no more hollow ring. Also have since swapped out the medium Hawke rings for a set of low rings, much better now - having BIG FUN!!!
EDIT: Forgot to mention, ordered a M-Rod trigger pack from Airgun Revisions, and it bolted up perfectly, and 5 minutes with a radiused file is all the alteration it took!

Hi everyone,

I just got an BSA Air Sporter 1800 Series, pretty old gun with rust everywhere.
Is it possible to take off rust and make it look better?
Some said bluing will make it like new. If anybody know how to do it, please tell me.

Thank you

I was going through my old targets and found one that I used as a guideline for both rifles use and pellet/slug of choice. Pics of the target and the Red Wolf and Delta Wolf are attached.All shots are from 50 yards.

Groups from the centre vertical line to the right are all from the Red Wolf with JSB Redesigns , JSB Beast 33.95g, JSB KO's 217 and NSA 20.2g 218's. As you can see the Red Wolf loves the Redesigns on Medium power (975fps/54ft lbs).Due to its length I will use this for primarily target work. If I did need to take something down that requires stopping power both the Knock out slugs at 61 ft lbs and Beast pellets at 68 ft lbs will more than suffice. Both showed showed signs of accuracy,I just have to get used to the recoil generated by the high power and I am sure the groups will improve.

Groups to the left are the Delta wolf with the JSB Hades 15.89's. I found these to be the best using the advanced setting of reg 110bar, Pulse 2073 and volt 72.5 shooting at 968 fps/33 ft lbs. Yes the velocity is hot but as you will see these grouped better than the factory setting used which generated around 911fps/ 29ft lbs. I have gone as far as 80 yards with the Hades on the advanced setting and I am able to hit a 1.77 inch spinner regularly with this tune. I have tried the Redesigns out of the Delta Wolf and unfortunately they don't compete with the accuracy of the same pellet out of the Red . I also struggled with slugs and so eventually settled on the Hades. This gun will now be primarily my hunting set up.It has worked well in this application , it is not too long like the Red Wolf and 33ft lbs is more than enough for what I will hunt. Note I have the original barrel in it with the plastic stripper. Issues with this are well documented in other threads. I will look to upgrade to a newer barrel with the aluminium stripper .I believe they have also reworked the newer barrels as well.Hopefully with the recently released newer valve and upgraded barrel the Delta Wolf will be able to compete with the Red Wolf.

I want more magnification so I’m selling my Hawke Airmax 4-12x40 AO AMX reticle scope to be able to to that. Excellent condition works as it should two years old. Asking $225.

What is the heaviest slug i can use with these settings without hurting the gun?
(BTW it ha the factory hammer) see pic

Good friends are enablers. When they decide to sell something they present it to other friends they know will have a hard time saying no to an opportunity to buy. Such was the case this weekend when my friend and occasional shooting partner Mark brought a lovely HW55CM to a local field target match for my inspection. Of course the Fraulein jumped into my back seat and came home with me. Mark, BTW, also sold me the beautiful HW55 Tyrolean dubbed Ugly Betty which appeared in this forum a year or so ago, again, at a field target match. There must be something about matches he knows puts me in a buying mood.

This gun is in excellent condition and, like Ugly Betty, wears a hard to find 400g barrel sleeve giving it a nice weight forward balance which make the gun "hang" on target longer than lighter guns. Additionally the HW diopter sight is equipped with a period correct 1.5x magnifying Hensoldt Wetzlar iris with 3 aperture settings and a choice of clear or yellow filter.

Much appreciation to my buddy and HW55 mentor MDriskill for information on the sight and a "thumbs up" on the acquisition.

A while back I wondered if a larger CF tank would fit on the Gunnar, so I got one and it fits just fine on this .25. Used the Alsafe 580cc..
As well, this is a 1/2" rifle at 52 yards with 25.39 JSB's benched.
Getting 48 fpe with a very slight tweak on the regulator.
Either way, for folks who have the rifle, a larger cf bottle with M18 1.5 threads is a good fit and lightens the rifle up some.

Several times I have posted something for sale, someone contacts me and says they'll take an item. I send them my Paypal info and then 3+ hours or even overnight before they pay, if at all. Of course, before they pay, someone else writes and says they would like to buy it. If you sell it to buyer #2, they trash you for "selling it out from under them. When it takes likes 2 minutes to issue a Paypal payment, how long would you wait before moving on to the next buyer?

Hello AGN,

I'm looking to sell a very nice FX Impact M3 Bronze w/ 0.22 caliber 600mm barrel, 480cc bottle, 28 shot high capacity magazine, stainless steel bolts, owner's manual and factory FX hard case. This rifle is currently set up as the "Standard" 600mm/480cc configuration with the 0.22 caliber barrel with Superior liner to shoot JSB 18.13g pellets at ~900fps with excellent accuracy and consistency. The rifle itself was recently resealed by FX and is in excellent condition as shown in the photos; the cheek rest has been carefully wrapped in an automotive grade carbon fiber vinyl wrap (which can be easily removed without any residue if you don't want it; I can also wrap the shroud in the matching CF wrap if you'd like). I've installed a stainless steel bolt set throughout this rifle and will include the original black screws as well.

PLEASE NOTE: scope and mounts are NOT included in the purchase price...

Price is: $1800 + 1/2 actual shipping

Local pickup is available in the SF Bay Area - otherwise, payment by Paypal Friends & Family is preferred (or add 3.5% if using PP Goods & Services). I have plenty of feedback both here as well as dating back to the old Yellow Forum so please feel free to do your due diligence and know that you're dealing with a reputable trader.

Just like the one discussed in this post:


Fired about 20 rounds into it. $125 Shipped CONUS, payment via Paypal, no fees to me. Not looking for any trades at this time.

Hey all. I am new to this side of air rifles. I grew up with everything from the old red ryder (yes with the compass and sundial) to a benjamin pump .22, I never took "air rifles" serious until recently. I am a little older and a little wiser now, and with a son who is turning 7 and another on the way, I want to find ways to spend more time with them, and something we can do anywhere at anytime is shooting some pellets around the house.
Now, for my own entertainment and because I want to, I am looking at getting a PCP for small game hunting (squirrels, rabbits, iguanas, raccoons, etc) and have been looking around the $400-$500 mark. The Avenger was obviously a huge hit when it was released, and it appeals to me. However, there seems to be more and more companies offering similar specs in their own brand. I am not opposed to any brand and have looked at youtube reviews until I am cross-eyed and confused. I like the Avenger, JTS Airacuda, and Hatsan Hydra, but again, I am open to suggestions and have not seen any of these in person.
Here are a list of specs that I am wanting to check off to help me decide:
O .25 cal or .30 cal
O Accurate to 50 yards (accuracy is relative, but would like to keep it within 1/2" at 50 yards)
O Easy fill and/or easy to change air bottles
O Ability to mount a scope
O Removable magazine
O I would prefer a side lever, but not a deal breaker

Hello everyone.

I'm a new member here on this forum, not only to the forum but somewhat to airguns in general.

Now I can't say I'm new to shooting or "firearms" as I've generally made a living in that industry for years.

I've had a couple air rifles through my hands over the years, a couple Dianas like the 48/52 and 34s. A couple match FWBs. I never shot any of these, only trade/sell, just as stock merchandise, etc.

I recently decided to purchase a springer for recreational shooting in my production shop. This past weekend I attended a gunshow show with quite a few air rifles and I found what I was looking for. After handling most of the high end rifles, I picked up one that felt to me, the perfect springer. A Weihrauch HW-35E in 22 cal.

What a beautiful rifle. Not only in feel/fit, but the workmanship is outstanding! Action is as smooth as glass. Recoil is also fairly light. Less than I was expecting.

Speaking of build quality/fit/finish and feel, nothing else came close. I chose it in 22 cal for probably the lamest of reasons....I just find the larger pellets easier to load!

I've only tested it so far, so I can't comment on accuracy just yet.

Rick Rehm over at Shooter1721 challenged me to a 100 yard standing offhand exploding golf ball shoot out!

Now, of course I didn't beat the master, but I never back down from a challenge so here is the video of my portion of the challenge.

Win, lose, or draw - this is fun! Post your own 100 yard standing offhand golf ball challenge below! It is a HARD shot to pull off!
