It goes on in friendly/otherwise competitions. Do you shoot for $$ sometimes? Burgers or BS ?

I found a FWB 124 Sport with Beeman 66R 2-7x32 scope, and universal muzzle brake at a local gunshop. Unfortunately, after a few test shots at home the scope reticle rotated but here's no rattle sound. The rifle has some twang and seems like it's slightly underpowered. It's in excellent condition and will need a tune up.

I called the shop and they said I can bring it back on Monday to discuss my options.I paid $460 and can get an ARH tune kit for about $90.

If they won't partially refund for the scope cause it was sold as a kit or consignment should I write off the scope as a loss and keep the 124? Also, are there any options for a scope repair on the Beeman Blue Ribbons/Hakkos?

Ok, need some help as I have a new one coming and need the room in da safe!!
Since I'm not going into field target going to sell this one. Gun is like new, can't find a mark on it.
Last time I checked it was shooting the AA 8 grainers at 885. Holds air forever, Comes with two mags, donnie Tanto, and bi pod. Will ship in factory Airmaks case and be carefully packaged and boxed.
If interested pls text as I only ck here a couple times a day. And I only ship to where and to whom it's legal in the CONUS.
Will accept Postal MO and ship using Pirate shipping. Sorry no PayPal, Venmo etc...
You can reach me at nine7one two05 03six0.
Asking $850 shipped, OBO (no trades please) if you're interested in insurance we can discuss the cost of that.
Thanks Greg

I have an unregulated .177 Revere that is easily the loudest air gun I own. Even with a moderator it is still not hearing safe. Has anyone else ever experienced this? the power level is also lower than it should be, only making 15 ft lbs with a 13.4 pellet. Any ideas ?

Arken Optics just announced 2 brand new Zulus models at the 2024 G.B. Shooting Show.

1. A new thermal Zulus unit that combines thermal and I.R., all into 1, compact unit.

2. A new 3-12 version of the existing Zulus, and is suppose to be priced even less than the current 5-20 version.

Both models are suppose to focus down to aprox. 15', and be available in April.

I received my barrels for my RAW BM500x & installed both to check fitment. Didn't really need to as they measured fine.
LW SS .25 24" unchoked .71 dia.
Lilja SS .177 28" also unchoked .75 dia.
Martin did the fitment machining on both & did a superb job. I will start to test them out soon starting with the .25 & slugs.

Sounds like the Air Arms S200 is back, but its being produced (outsourced?) by Precihole, a major manufacturer in India....
Im not sure about this move...

For many of us, this was the first long range/high power ft match in a very long time! It was the first time I've seen some of these airgun friends in MONTHS, and it was great to catch up and chat and laugh and just generally enjoy airguns together.

The weather was perfect...slightly overcast, very little wind, temps just shy of 80. Just about ideal for a field target match, and stellar conditions for the month of February. The range has seen enough winter moisture that it's greening up. Lots of color out there for a February. It was really nice to feel the sun and see some green-kinda felt like the groundhog...didn't see my shadow and optimistic that spring will arrive early.

We had a total of 19 shooters come out today, 15 contested the pellet class, 2 in slug, and 2 in rimfire.

Here's the gang...



Ben set a pretty tough course for us this month. Luckily the wind was VERY kind. Had we dealt with typical PRGC winds, it would have been an even more challenging day.
Far right column here is Extreme Troyer Factor....some background on that here: https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/extreme-troyer-factor.868700/

yellow highlighted = 3 highest Ts
green highlight = average T for the course


And the scorecard....The 6 right-most columns have data for those 3 highest T targets, plus the 2x100 yard targets, plus the offhand lane. As I compiled the data I noticed some things.....Nobody went 14/14 on these theoretically "hardest" targets. Steve M (overall match high) was understandably the closest, just missing 2 of the 100 yarders. A couple were able to go 4/4 on the 100 yarders, and a couple were 4/4 on the offhand shots.


The green highlights in the chart above are first time field target shooters. I was squadded with Ed and we had a good time. It's fun to watch somebody experience their first match, reminds me of why we all love it so much. There's the frustration of missed targets, and the elation of knocking down a hard one, the lessons learned for a first time, and the general resolve to come back and do better next time. These three first timers certainly held their own on those 14 hardest shots that are charted above, they're right in there with everybody else, going 2/2 on the 50T shot as an example. And they each got at least 1 of the offhand shots.

Here are the winners. Left to right: Wes, Kent, Steve, Wayne, Bobby


Post match there was a bit of discussion about the new class of electronic scopes and how they fit into this game. Just like in the past when there's been equipment debate, it went to a vote of the shooters. If I understood correctly, the decision was for the electronic scopes to be given a trial period. The big question.....do they offer enough of an advantage that their users need to be in a separate class? Or are they just another option for optics and can be contained within the current classes. It'll be interesting to see how it shakes out.

I know there are a lot more rimfire shooters in the the greater Phoenix area than we're seeing here. I've heard guys with PRS/NRL experience say that field target is pretty much PRS/NRL without having to lay down in the dirt and monkey around on obstacles. I've got to say that I agree fully. Field target is shot from a stool and shooting sticks/bipod. It offers an excellent way for guys to still enjoy a challenging shooting experience, without being excessively challenged, in a physical sense. Call it a more civilized/non-military version of PRS/NRL. And even for those that have young bodies and willing (to crawl around in the dirt) minds, long range/high power field target would be a great way to hone your skill set. I can guarantee a PRS/NRL shooter's game in those areas will benefit from time spent shooting high power/long range field target. On top of all that, there is nowhere else in the country allowing rimfires to be shot in field target events. So, you Phoenix rimfire shooters, come on down! We'd love to see more rimfire guys come out and give this a try. Fair warning (and yes, a challenge) you'll have to contend with Steve M, whose talent and crazy high BC airgun slugs combine for impressive scores. And you'll also be measured against some very talented pellet shooters.

Thanks to Phoenix Rod and Gun Club for hosting our events. And to Ben for running the match. And to Wayne M and Barb for running sign-in. And to Wes, Ed, Scott, Dan, and Tony for taking nearly all the photos seen here. I arrived right as the match started and probably missed seeing other people that lent a hand as well. Thank you, your help is appreciated!

I have a problem and that is i moved in to the city where my back yard is only 10 yards long and I have neighbours on all sides The houses on every road are all in a row and everyone's gardens are joined together but seperated by 5 Ft wooden fences. I tried shooting my air rifle and the neighbour on the right side threatened to call the police & the other neighbour on the left side looked over the fence and said its bothering him.
I have nowhere to shoot my air rifle.

I could do to a air rifle club but the nearest ones is over a hour away & I don't have a car so I cant carry that heavy air rifle and case 1+ hour on public transport its usually packed in the trains and buses.

Should I get stop buying any more air rifles and sell the one I have or what would you recommend I do. If I keep it it will just be sitting in my house.

I have this Pulsar day/night scope I got from a friend, that I've used once or twice during daytime and nighttime it works great and records great but I just haven't used it like I thought I would so it needs a new home here's a list of what comes with it. You can Video stream via streamvision app, it also has a picture in picture mode. It has 4.5 to 18x digital zoom. Asking $675 Now $625 shipped.

I have just been reading the RAW airguns =low quality thread. Unanimously it was agreed that there has been no real loss of quality between old and new and there was strong agreement that although they are very good out of the box, there are things that can be done to make them so much better.

Here is a list of the things I have done to my RAW and rapids that not only improve consistency, efficiency, accuracy, smoother and quieter but also makes gun feel nicer to shoot. For context, I almost exclusively work on sub12fpe airguns so some of my modifications may not be appropriate for higher power.

Barrel, re-crown, polish, stepped transfer port from 4.75mm down to 2.8mm, form a small lead into breech for better pellet insertion.
Calibre specific sound moderator typical 0.5mm larger than pellet Dia.
Lighter hammer, silent acetal tip to hammer pip, a PTFE hammer support sleeve to stabilise and centralise the hammer inside the block (reduces vibration noise)
Either an SSG device or a heavier inertia weight (in ptfe sleeve) to increase efficiency
Ground and polished hammer spring, ptfe spring guide to reduce friction and twang.
New valve with 5.5mm front port and 5mm top port, new lighter valve stem with stronger return spring
Replace reg pushpin disc and replace it with one that has a smaller hole (0.3mm) peek insert in end of reg core, new .8mm belville washers that I have de-burred on 800grt paper, instead of twin .5mm (these give a neater stack) together these give more consistently over a wider fill pressure.
On 1000x block only, Fill the reg plenum with acetal plug to reduce volume, this makes the reg quicker to respond to pressure drop.
Replace the probe with either a non retractable version for single loading only or a improved retractable type for use with magazine
Shim the cocking lever to reduce any slop.
Generally, I don’t need to tough the trigger but very occasionally I have polished the trigger sear and replaced trigger blade for aftermarket multi adjustable target type..

Obviously some of these modifications only have minimal gains but collectively they do make a huge difference. I am sure there are other improvements that I haven yet thought of but I’m always willing to learn from others

Just wanted to introduce myself, I'm an 80 yo new guy to air guns. My son gave me a Diana .22 350 mag for my birthday last year and while it's been fun I'm getting the itch to upgrade to a PCP. I have a lot of reading and learning to do and it looks like this is just the place to do it.

Updated website agg-line for February.

I have a Bintac M50 pistol in .457 brand new never been shot and an AEA SF in .30 caliber never been shot. Looking to trade for some good optics for other airguns I have.

Hey y'all, I'm thinking about getting a semi-auto 9mm for my next air rifle. I'm stuck between getting a Rattler or a Leshy 2. Thoughts?

If you want to part with a Brocock Atomic 177 let me know.

I'm waiting for my first PCP rifle to arrive, and am figuring out what type of compressor is best for me.
Will be filling direct to the gun (200cc cylinder on it).
My first thought was a GX CS4...but sadly too dear as anything over $NZ1000 imported the NZ Govt and Customs add on another 15%GST tax, plus Custom's fees, plus more tax on top of all that.
OK...the next best is the GX CS3 (or the CS2?), or maybe the Yong Heng.
The CS3 would do the job, but I'm told the CS2 is the same pump but 'naked' (no fancy outer case).
The Yong Heng? Will it last longer than the CS2/CS3 as it may run cooler?
I'll only be topping up the rifle cylinder once a week and the air cooled jobs look more 'simple' for my use, but don't want to buy one and have it die in a year because it's not as good as a water cooled job.
Either choice will still cost over $NZ700 shipped (but at least it stays under the $1000 trigger point for tax, tax, and more tax).
Thanks.

For sale is an Element Helix 6-24x50 scope with the APR-2D FFP MOA reticle. It is in excellent condition and without visible marks or wear of any kind.
It comes with the factory package minus the box and the scope caps. (If the buyer wants to, I can swap Element bikini covers for the Element scope caps; but it is one or the other, not both.)
It is presently mounted and there appears to be tape under the rings to prevent (?) marking, but I do not know if there are ring marks. (If there is a potential buyer, I will take the scope out of the rings to check and report back with new pictures to verify pristine condition or show the marks.)

The rings are not included and are not for sale.

I am asking $310.00 shipped and insured. It will come packaged very securely. This FFP Helix retails for $479.99.
Payment may be by PayPal F&F, or pay the fee, please. Also accepted are Cashier's Checks, and I think I can do Venmo.

Please note that this scope will be listed on other venues.

Thank you. S7

Still thinking of an HW95 in either .20 or .22. AOA says they can install a Vortex Kit for $259.
Is it worth it?
They said one is as accurate as the other, ragged hole at 20 or 25 yards, that's what I can do my R9 .177.
AOA has the Hunter in stock now but kind of want to get a different scope.
Just had a thought, get the Diana Model 34 and get the tune on it. Maybe I'd like it and it's cheaper.

So you have the EVOL/Epic situation. FX DRS classic with Snowpeak M30 and Remington Vought. Notos and Jet. Now Hatsan has made a copy of the Airmaks Katran. This was the only way I found it on the UK forum.

I know imitation is the highest form of flattery but it seems they just aren't trying anymore. I know there are only so many ways to put an air reservoir, barrel and valve together.

Two weeks ago while trying to adjust the trigger on my Daystate Revere I dropped a unique size captive nut that holds the trigger guard in place.
I spent hours on my hands and knees and belly looking for it but no luck.
I ended up staying up till 2 in the morning making a nut to fit by filing a regular size m6 nut down.
Success I suppose but where the hell did that nut go?
It’s 2 weeks later and I’m taking my tennis shoes off and I see something in my shoe, yep, the missing nut
Enjoy your weekend!

What you guys think???

I am thinking of taking the dive into PCPs. I have been eyeing the HW110 carbine laminate because I like the Weihrauchs. But the Daystate Wolverine R High Power .177 is also catching my eye. I need your guys advice, if I take the PCP dive, what will I also need to get for a PCP? I want something that is precise that can be used for longer distance target practice. What do you recommend and what would I also need to go with getting a PCP? Please let me know, thanks.
