Been lurking around and see a lot of threads similar to mine but I have some specifics.... Like many others I am looking to pick off some house sparrows around my purple martin colony. Each year I start trapping before the martins arrive and then transition to the shot gun. Early on I can walk out and get close enough to shoot them as they fly away from my martin houses. By this time of year they have wised up and if I am anywhere in my yard they take off so I contend with several of them that are super skittish.

My martin housing is about 35 yards from my house where I could set up in a window. There are some perches around and a couple small bushes they use so my range would be 30-40 yards. I am seeking an air rifle that will shoot sparrows at that range. About 10 years ago when I moved to this house not knowing any better I bought a gun off the shelf from Wal Mart (I think it was a Gamo) or something like that, around 120.00 including a scope. I tried all different types of pellets and could never get it to group well enough to hit sparrows at that distance. I have hunted/shot weapons for 35 years but just couldn't get accurate with it.

I would like to keep my budget around $200-$300 (lowers is obviously fine) and would be fine buying used. Not picky about what type or brand it is. Just something that will take out the sparrows at that distance. Would love to hear your thoughts and if anyone has anything for sale I would be interested as well.

I just got a HW30s this week. Been wanting one for 20 years or so, but never got around to ordering one. I put a Williams receiver sight on it, and replaced the fiber optic dog sh!t front sight. It's a very lovely timeless combination. Like breath of fresh air to go back to basics! I got my first airgun (paid for it with my own cash) when I was 13 or so. It was a Norica 73. I loved it but really wanted a Diana, like my uncle had suggested, but could not afford it. Receiving the HW30s feel like being a kid again! Could someone here tell me when the HW30 was introduced? I know the HW30s came on the market in 1964, and even that is quite impressive!

My HW30s has the new stock on it. I think it's ugly, but already planned to make a new stock in Walnut, so I'm not bothered. The original sights were horrible! Which is unfortunately common on many HW guns these days. They ruined the HW45 and HW75 completely this way. The front sight had the fiber optic insert put in more to one side than the other. Unusable as intended, and best ignored! The deluxe globe sigh was a bit pricey, but high quality for what it is. I like the the thin Patridge insert best for general use. Would be accurate enough for head shots on Tree Rats out to 30-40ft, where legal!

Brand spanking new, never out of the plastic Seneca Aspen

Thanks for looking.

Wtt my bronze m3 impact that has the 600mm barrel in .22 for something more lefty friendly, the magazine is an issue for me as it tends to push into my face.
I purchased it new from talontunes and we all know what these things cost so please keep any trades in the same ballpark. I have literally taken it outside to shoot twice since I purchased it and that's only 6 magazines worth total. The m3 is in very nice condition with a very low shot count,6 mags.
It will come with all you normally get plus a gravity rail.
No scope or rings included.
If a trade is made I will not ship first,I will receive your trade to look it over then ship mine out to you if this bothers you don't hit me up.I will travel a bit if you live around Tennessee to meet up and trade in person up to about 2 hours drive time.
Shipping is USA lower 48.

Your stuff must be as nice as mine.

Thanks everyone with all the great offers but especially a big thank you to a member here that informed me about a kit to make my impact accept the mags on the left side of it instead of being in my way on the right.
I had no clue about such a kit,happy happy happy.

Took a trip up north to my buddies today. We worked on his range. Here’s a before pic. I cut at least a dozen trees down to open things up. What a difference. Unfortunately every tree hung up and had to chop 4-5 ft. off at a time and let it drop. This is finished, got 68 yds. cleared so far. This is where I get 35 ft. poles for my range to hang targets. I brought 2 back today.
Any way this is the guy that introduced me to Weihrauch’s. And this is the gun that changed my ways. He offered it to me, a no brainer.It’s a HW80 Black stainless. The stock is wood. And it shoots like a dream. I’ve got the initial 5 shot card at purchase. Awesome day to say the least. Crow

relaxation after a long day of gardening and yard work. I have to say life is good , especially when there’s no wind. Just putting a few down range on the metal targets.

One of my prized airguns is a Brocock Bantam Sniper HR.....YES, that's right it's a bolt action. Seems those are going the way of the dodo, but I still love 'em. Anyway, this rifle is one super shooter, even if I'm not in it's league. This is the first time I've had an opportunity to give 100 yards a try. I used JSB 18.1 gr domed pellets fed from a magazine I bought from ShootinNewB, which by the way, are super mags. This is 5 shots from off the bed of my truck, nothing special for a rest, just me shooting as good as I can. I was plenty impressed, not only with me, but the rifle too. I know with a proper bench and rest, I could do better. I'll try it again sometime when I have my bench outside. I uaually shoot from inside my garage across the field at 40 yds max, but if I move outside I can get way over 100yds.
The group is 2-14"

$1250 shipped in a hard case and open to trades. Currently tuned for a ton of shots with 15.9g atomics. Fx dovetail rings with pic adapters, westhunter 4-16×50 scope
Trade interests are Hubens, a chassis gun or a very compact .25.

I hope it plays nice with its older cousin a Delta Wolf. This one is .25 and looks sweet. Will get it scoped and start dialing it in this weekend.

Just bought a used Scott tank. Looking for any suggestions for fill valve. New to all this .. any help.?

Hey, total new guy, day one. I just purchased an FX Dreamline tactical .25 tube version from Utah Airguns.
EDIT: I am shooting Exact Kings 25.39 I've gone thru about 2 150 rdtins trying to figure out a tune. I would like to be at 880. But everything I watch doesn't seem to apply to my gun other than the fact that they were right about the balance between the HST wheel and more pressure Def doesn't mean more power. I've tried every position on my wheel (which isn't labeled A-E 1-5 and "MAX". Its 1-23 1 being low side of the cam 23 being the high side. I have gotten the best results from about 118BAR on the reg and Max on the wheel and I'm getting 863-868... AND that's through 40 shots give or take 5. (More on the give). I have gone from 110 all the way to 140 trying to get 900 and I've seen 880 once. At 115. But it was at max and the spread was about 25fps and when I backed it off on the wheel... dropped to 845/850 . My TP is on "HIGH". I'm not understanding how the lower my reg the higher my velocities. On every position of the power wheel. Anyone got any information or tips to try out.

BTW, Name is Alex, I live in Gwinnett County GA (Buford/Lawrenceville area) I'm 38, nice to meet you all. Any tips appreciated.

Hey all,
I wanted to share something with everyone. I see people doing many different things for dope info and I felt like maybe its because they weren't aware of the products that exist today for that job.
I have used 2 different dope data card holders for shooting NRL22 matches and ended up using one of those products shooting FT as well.
This is a super easy flexible velcro part that wraps around your scope tube. It packs away nicely in any case as it folds out of the way.
I use them on my HFT pistols and rifles.
Hope this helps someone else.

I also make my own dope cards in excel for each gun so its clean and neat. I then laminate in a business card sleeve and trim down a touch and slide it in a pouch that sticks to a flat surface. You could do several different ways to attach the actual card or use the dry erase boards they include and just use permanent marker.

I want Buy one lcs sk19
Is good or Bad????

I'm a little confused as to why I might have to adjust my left/right windage on the scope daily.
Notos with Hatsan 3x9 x 40 scope. Zeroed at power 5X ( as I like to shoot on 5). All screws are tight / no movement on scope.
as an example:
Day One: zeroed it in & shooting with amazing acuaracy at 25 yards. Stored my Notos safetly & securely. No dropping or carrying by the scope etc..
Day Two: Took the first 4 shots and it layed out a cluster no bigger than a dime however, it was about 3/4" to the left. Figuring the Notos is acuarte I adjusted the scope about 12 clicks to the right & it was spot on for the next 30 - 40 shots. Then I stored the gun again.
Day Three: first three shots are 1/2" - 3/4" to the right this time ??? .... 12 clicks to move it back to the left & spot on for the rest of the session. This time I Zeroed it a full 9X power. Then backed it off to the lowest 3x's and untilmatly 5X which all powers were spot on. Took about 40 shots , left it on 5X's & stored it.
A few days later (Yesterday): Same thing ?? 1/2" to the left. corrected it & spot on.

Is it possible that coming from a very cool 70* of air conditioning to 84* of So. Florida heat can move the components ? throwing off the scope ?
If this is common ( I don't think it is), I can live with a correction on the first few shots of each session.

I've came to the conclusion that it's time for someone else to get to enjoy this gun. I bought it last year and have only had it out once to shoot. Don't really have the space to shoot it like I should. And I've recently got into archery and practice it every day. So this gun is basically new. And it will come with an extra magazine. And the soft case it came in. Scope not included. Asking 1900 shipped TYD. Can get more pictures if you want. My feedback speaks for itself. Thanks for looking.

I have used MP-5 the entire time that I have had airguns. More than 50 years I believe. No more. It's gone. 1st it was sold by Beeman as Compound No. 5 Metalophilic Oil then by Air Venturi. Checked with Ted at Air Venturi. No longer available anymore. Crap! I really liked that stuff too. Guess I'll try Ballistol. RIP MP-5.

SOLD TO BULLYSYCLONE, THANKS EVERYONE!!!!


Got this rifle in a group of other rifles.....is really just not my thing (I'm a springer guy) the rifle is in just about as close to mint condition as you can get. Willing to trade for pellets,scopes,mounts,spring powered rifles, or ? Just ask, I may be interested! Just want to see it go to a home where it's appreciated.
