I noticed RWS airguns aren’t as prevalent as they were years ago. Also the models seem the same. Did they stop making them?

GUN MAY HAVE SLOW LEAK, WILL RENEW AD ONCE FIGURED OUT SO ALL POTENTIAL TRADES ON HOLD TILL I FILL GUN AGAIN AND BE SURE.




Bought this from Tony in Sept 2024 and have shot 3 tins of pellets thru it. I keep flip flopping on if I want to sell this or not, its a awesome gun very accurate, great trigger and balance but its my last bull pup and I just don't use it enough to justify keeping it prefer traditional stocked guns.
Has the Donny FL external hammer spring adjuster and a set of sling swivels I installed that look good not botched up. I also adjusted trigger as it was not great when received. This is the only pic I have at the moment but can provide more if needed. Gun gets around 74 shots per fill shooting 18 gr FX around 912-920 fps. Asking 1,000 pl act shipping or best offer.
Prefer to sell but might trade for regulated Daystate Huntsman Revere(changed just had Huntsman) in .22. Any questions feel free to ask.
Might also trade for a FX MK2 Crown .25 w/500mm barrel or shorter.

Dont know why picture looks like crap but will get better pics if any interest.

It's a thing
You are trying to get your field target build to be at a "certain" comfortable weight to shoulder and handle in the sticks and especially in the forced lanes.... up until, It gets so light, that the big ol scope on top becomes "too" heavy and you reach the Tipping Point.
Also known as that balance point where the gun might want to just flop over from vertical to horizontal while your addressing the lane.

I recently helped a guy set up a .177 Blackwolf HFT rig in the very light carbon painted wood? stock. He's 80 years young and needed or wanted a lightweight set up.
Goal <9.5 lbs scoped.
The only FT gun i have ever set up, besides the Blackwolf that came close to this desired weight was the Crosman HFT Challenger when scoped with a Sightron S-Tac 4-20x50. This same scope on the Blackwolf yielded an all in weight of just < 10 lbs. Ahhhhh!
But, and here lay the problem.... once you have the right airgun, and you think you have the right scope, it needs to be a scope that works for YOUR eyes.
The S-Tac was a no go for this older gentleman so we played with several Athlons, and Nightforce variations that he liked the reticle on.

Every time we found the perfect for him reticle, it was within a scope that once mounted was (to me and him) too heavy and made the gun tippy in the sticks or very prone to canting.

Grrr, says I....

I think he will have to deal with buying a heavier stock, or using a scope with a reticle not to his absolute liking or finding a way to put more weight below the center of gravity and maybe slightly aft of the trigger guard to stay away from the tipping point.

Thoughts..... Compromise required me thinks?

BCSA (Binghamton, NY) - September 13th, 2025 Match Report

Broome County Sportsmens Association (BCSA) Field Target Match Report

Another match done at BCSA! Carbon copy of last months match. A dry warm day with light wind and low humidity. The canopies were not set up again this time and the trees provided us plenty of shade.

We had 18 people on hand for this match which was a 60 shot rifle match followed by a 40 shot Pistol Field Target match. We had 2 new to BCSA competitors on hand to join us for the match. Laura Setikas Dyke and Alan Dyke joined us for the day since their daughter is attending college in the area. They will be back again! We had some treats too….Karen Reis brought along some lemon poppy seed muffins for everyone to enjoy……Thanks Karen!

Sight-in:





The course of fire for the rifle match was 10 lanes with 3 targets per lane, 2 shots per target, with the shooting order being left, middle, right. There was also the usual 1 standing lane and 1 kneeling lane. Due to the upcoming Pyramyd Air Cup, the course was setup a bit more difficult. The stats for the 60 shot course are as follows:



The breakdown for the percentage of targets based on difficulty was:







The wind was pretty light and the skies were bright for the rifle portion of the day. As usual, there were targets in light unprotected areas and targets in dark protected areas along with everything in between! Brian VanLiew and Karen Reis were able to lock in high scores for the day with a 51 out of 60. Brian in Open PCP and Karen in Hunter PCP . The second highest score for the day was a 50 out of 60 from Stephan Hottenrott in Hunter PCP. The rest of the pack followed behind and all the scores can be seen below.

One quick cold line was called due to a string coming off. The quick clip decided it wanted to take a break. Reclipped and all was well so the match continued on.

After the conclusion of the rifle match, while the scores were tallied, everyone jumped in and helped pick up and pack away the rifle targets and pull the strings for the Pistol targets. As always, Thank You All, the help is greatly appreciated!

Pistol Field Target Time!

The course of fire was 10 lanes having 2 targets per lane with one of those being a standing lane. The course stats were as follows.



8 people participated this time around. 7 people competed in pistol while Doug Rogers took the opportunity to get in some kneeling practice.



Had a quick cold line call due to a string getting caught under the hinge bolt on the target.

Nathan Thomas took first with a 34/40 followed by the Brians, Wagner & Vanliew with 33s.

After the match was completed, everyone jumped in and we made quick work of packing away all the targets! As always, all the help is GREATLY GREATLY appreciated!



Thank you to all that attended! We greatly appreciate you taking the time to spend the day with us at BCSA! We hope to see you and many more new faces in October for our last match of 2025!!

The Results: Rifle Match Results (60 shot match)



Pistol FT Match Results (40 shot match):

Good morning, I tried 45g Zan slugs on my Vulcan 3 500 .30, but I got terrible results. However, with the JSB Diablo Exact 44g it was exceptional. I don't understand why the slugs aren't accurate on this air rifle.

Having recently rekindled my half-century love affair with Sheridan pump-rifles by horse-trading for a 70s vintage Blue Streak and a much more recent vintage Sheridan/Benjamin C9A series Silver Streak, thought I'd not only spread a little more Sheridan love (despite there being ample 'round these parts lately), but a related trigger modification that is equally applicable to many guns. Although both Streaks are in excellent condition, the SS wasn't building pressure. Thankfully a buddy reseals Sheridan pumpers, and the SS returned home yesterday, healthy.



The C9A apparently being the last Silver Streak to be walnut stocked and equipped with steel triggers and trigger-guards, it is the last Sheridan/Benjamin that interests me. Come Crosman, they were economized with "walnut-stained hardwood" stocks, and plastic trigger blocks.

But the C9A model being discontinued in 2012, its trigger action reflected the TLP gripping American gun manufacturers at the time (Trigger Liability Paranoia). In other words, a very LAWYERLY trigger action. The trigger action was laughably heavy, with excessive creep.

Installing a much lighter trigger spring couldn't have been easier. Dealing with the trigger-creep, not so easy. But also not exactly rocket science; especially given I've applied this modification, or variations of it, to several simple triggers to totally transform them. This photo should be pretty self explanatory-



But if not... The #8-32 allen-head sear-adjusting screw SIMPLY adjusts to limit how far the trigger returns forward during cocking, thereby how much the sear engages with the hammer/striker. The screw threads through a small piece of angle-aluminum stock cut to fit into the trigger-guard inletting in the stock, under the trigger-guard itself. With a bit of moly-lube on the sear-engagement surfaces, the trigger now breaks crisply and creep-free at 24 ounces.

.

Gotten interested in tuning after all the reading on this forum. I decided to experiment with 2 identical rifles, this will allow me to compare differences between them and how they react to changes.

I purchased 2 Ruger Air Hawks in .177, 480fps versions. I always liked these guns for a budget springer. These were somewhat cheap due to being low power? I was looking to tune these around 12 ft/lb.

I had both apart many times with various springs. Much trigger work on both. Barrels recrowned and polished.

Air Hawk I @ 11 ft/lb ; .119x30 coil spring, Crosman PHP 7.6gr @ 800fps.

Air Hawk II @ 13 ft/lb ; .120x30 coil spring with top hat. H&N FTT 8.64gr @ 830fps.

So what did I figure out;

Rifles are not the same even if they appear identical.

You cant force a rifle to like a certain pellet. Few hundred shots on each with many different pellets. One of the guns grouped best with CPHP 7.6. I spent much time trying to get it to group with H&N FTT 8.6 since the other gun grouped great with them.

The crown matters! Initially both guns really weren't grouping well. I looked at the crowns and the lands looked smashed into the grooves, like a dull tool just pressed into the barrel. I recut and polished the crowns on both guns and this is where significant changes happened. Both give dime size groups at 25yds. One seems slightly more accurate but may be in my mind.

In the end they both have great shot cycles and accuracy. Triggers pretty decent. These shoot as good (maybe better) as my Diana 34. Fun time messing with these but I never seem to leave well enough alone so im sure Ill keep messing with them.

I'm trying to disassemble a valve can anyone tell me if the black thingy is an oring or something else? What's the best way to unscrew this thing without gouging or scratching it up? Any more orings inside of it?

Nice day today too but weird little wind witches flying around. Scores and X count are affected.

For the last month or so I’ve been trying to find a custom stock for a few of my rifles.
They can’t be shipped over our border, unfortunately, I’ve tried from Custom Stock in the UK. And a few others.
You guys bring to my attention the 50 blue lam. Well I put coin down on a 75 year HW50 .177 cal. Basically for the stock and I’ll give it a different spring from the others. Couldn’t resist any longer. I like the 50’s.
This is pretty well the end of my purchasing rifles. Oh I also ordered another 30 with the Walnut stock .20 cal. Another nice stock. Also my guns don’t like to travel alone. Shipping is ridiculous so I send 2 at a time to chisel price down a little.
Only guns that would interest me are old Beeman’s or the infamous LGU and LGV. Otherwise I’m done.……. Hopefully.
Will still look for custom stocks.
Also going to thin out a few rifles. The vicious circle.

It seems like not many sellers are carrying these. I couldnt imagine why given that these slugs work wonderfully. They hqve a pretty high bc for a slug with slug a large cavity. They shoot well at 890fps (lowest I have tried) and as high as 1020fps with insane terminal performance. Also incredibly accurate as far as 179yds. Sighted in at 34yds I only hat to hold 5.5mils at 179yds.

Who would be interested in buying these and how many?

The shredded slugs are the jsb ko shot into a bucket of water from 3ft above

I'll refrain from posting gore but for those who want to see what these can do here's a link.

What would be the best pellet rifle for squirrels at up to 50 yards ?

Thinking about selling my MK1 impact to fund a non airgun project, so not interested in trades. Has the 720 power plenum, saber tactical cheek riser, short arca rail and standard TRS rail, forward barrel clamp, solid 600mm smooth twist barrel that is laser accurate with pellets, one high capacity metal .30 mag, heavy hammer spring, M3 cocking assembly, new valve assembly, donnyfl fx mod, 480cc bottle, plus a 700mm .22 barrel, 580cc bottle, .22 probe and mag. Has a huma reg installed and an extra huma reg to go with it as well as a complete o-ring kit. This rifle does not leak and is shooting 44.8gr pellets at 880 with plenty of room to turn up, was shooting them at 965 very accurately and still lots of room to go up. Not interested in separating anything and not in a hurry to sell so price is firm. $1650 plus shipping or $2200 plus shipping with the DNT Zulus V2 5-20x LRF scope with an ADM return to zero base mount. PayPal F&F or Zelle. Have 20 tins of pellets that can be discussed as well. Only possible trade would be for a DNT thermnight 335r.

I received my Marauder.22 LW back from AGR last week. Had a ridiculous sinus thing/cold so didn't get to the range. Then Friday fell from a hammock flat on my back. I have a wrecked back already,discs blown, stenosis,etc. So I can't even hold off hand or carry much with out pain.
So I put on the scope,got new offset rings so I can do more comfort.
And now the fun! Since not sighted in,I can just shoot into the weeds in the back.
So I did the 25.4s and they seem very fast. Rich said in the 900's I think.
So I got my lightest crossman 14.3's and found a nice "crack' in the report. So brief super sonic!
Very entertaining! Did a couple and realized may draw attention to me.
Anyone else play with the report for giggles?
I hope next week to get the chrony out and document speed of the usable pellets and maybe a light one or two as well!
Shot cycle is very smooth and is the bolt,he really does fine work.

Considering the success of the Notos I can’t help but wonder how popular the New Air Venturi Microstrike will be. With externally adjustable hammer and reg , avaiibility in .17, .22 and .25. Moderator ready 1/2 x20 and adjustable folding stock.
Did I mention caliber change kits on the cheap ??

Who has ordered and who will be ordering.???

I for one have to wait just a bit but I’ll have one after the initial first wave. ( bought s talon p recently … )

Likely old hat to some of you, but I just stumbled across this site and my jaw’s still on the floor…

I've been trying to find a compact hard case to transport my external regulator in when in my range bag. If you own an external 5000psi or higher external tethering regulator, what type of case are you storing you regulator in? Please be descriptive and provide links to the case if you have one. Mine is similar to the one pictured below, but sold by another company.

My Second Groupings at 100 after finding holdover.

Took my Pathfinder out for a little walkabout, pictured pest between 30-40 range finder measured yards. Sending .22 Hades. It really is a little pesting machine. I harvested thrice the pictured unfortunates. Simply couldn’t retrieve them all.
