So with the cost of powder ammo getting more silly, along with even sillier rules for buying ammo in California, and then seeing someone with a Blitz, I thought oh hell yeah! We thought yeah, that sounds like fun and ammo is way cheaper for just playing around. I was shopping for a Blitz and ultimately talked myself out of it for now. Seems they can be a lil finicky and at least for now, I don't have any other PCP guns to play with so want something more reliable. So after doing what I pass off as research and my boss would call a week of sub optimal performance, this is what I ordered.

For me, JTS Airacuda MAX .22 with Hawke Airmax 4-12x40 scope.
For her, Umarex Notos with Bugbuster 3-12x32 scope.
Also a Yong Heng compressor with Amazon warranty

She wanted something lightweight and compact, Notos seems to be a good answer there, hard to find anyone that doesn't like it. I saw the Airacuda MAX and just kinda fell for it. It's nice looking gun and reviews make it sound like I'll enjoy it for a long time. Made giving up on the Blitz dream a little easier for now. I've heard the BLitz sometimes go on deep sales, if I can pick one up on a bargain, I'll do it. But for now my practical side has won.

I say my practical side won after spending over $1500 to save a few cents a round on ammo to poke holes in stuff. Yeah, it's a trap, should be a fun one though

I do have a few other airguns, but nothing like this.
Crosman 760 pumper. This is the gun I learned to shoot with 45 or so years ago. Found it in my father's garage and after a little cleaning and some oil, it came back to life.
Crosman 1377 pumper pistol. Also from my father's garage. I remember when I was finally strong enough to hold it out in front of me and get a decent shot.
I got my wife a Gamo break barrel for Valentines Day 10 or so years ago. It's not bad but it's heavy and long for her and she really doesn't like cocking and feeding it one pellet at a time.

Anyway.. Hi

I believe this is why notos has jamming problems, the probe pulls next pellet half way out.

Mike Melick is awesome. I was looking for a multi pumper, but then started to look at gas guns, (co2). So I looked into ing air rifles. The Xcisco XS60 seemed like a good deal at $150 with free shipping. Talked to Mike and found out it came with a scope and rings. Amazing. The scope was a 3-9×40. I really didn't want it and told him he could keep it and I would pay the full price anyway. Then he said he had a little scope that was 1.7-5.1×something. Came with a build-in Picatinny mount. Figured I'd use a snap adapter for dovetail. Wouldn't mount back far enough, so a buddy in Ohio had me ship it to him to cut off the mount. Mike also did a power tune and set the trigger to what feels like 1.5lbs. Nice!! It makes 18.8fpe shooting 16.5gr. Hits .22cal casings at 25yds constantly. For $150. Are you kidding me? Also added a TKO moderator to tame the bark. Added a sling, cheek riser and good to go. What a great pesty/pinker. I have some nice pcps, but this little feathweigh is just plain fun. Bill and Addi

Are there really any other advantages same gun just different barrels and set at both the same fpe say 55 ftlbs only advantages I see for 25 would be a bigger hole and more shots am I missing any
I was thinking of switching my 22 red wolf over to 25 cal then thought why

Ordered the JTS Airacuda in .25 supposed to be here Monday. Would like to hear from people who currently own them about what they think about them.
Can the hammer spring on them be messed with to flatten the shot curve like can be done on the Benjamin Akela?
Looking forward to getting it and getting in the woods squirrel hunting with it, have a Hawke Endurance 30 WA SF 4x16x50 ready to go on it.
Will post pics once I get it.

Well I received the Airacuda Standard .25 today, cleaned barrel aired it up and mounted my Hawke Endurance 4x16x50 scope on it.
I had the scope on my Akela and it was just too big for it but seems perfect on the Airacuda. Shot it at 10 yards and was on horizantally but was about 4 in high, adjusted it down some then went outside to 32 yds. 1st shot was about 10 inches high, adjusted it down and next shot was 2 in high next one hit dime size bull. Shot rest of mag and they pretty much tore bull up, this was with Kodiak Hunter pellets because I had maybe 40 pellets left in tin and wanted to use them up.
As soon as it cools down will take it out and try a few other pellets and do some chrony work. I adjust trigger down to 2lb 3oz from 2lb 14oz which is about perfect for hunting.
Only thing I dont care for about the gun is the very dark finish thats on the wood, way too dark.
Pics arent the greatest as its too hot to go out to just take pics.

I have an day and night time scope adapter with screen tbh it only works good at night time very clear looking to get $150 or trade for fx maverick parts or bipod, tripod any shooting rest not looking for cheap ones I have a Caldwell bipod now looking for better also in need of .30 pellets and slugs

Hi gang, I just bought this F4 177. I previously own a very old crossman pump 22 cal rifle. It's about 80 years old. Always fired with no problems. Sights never needed adjustment. But it finally started to lose power. So I purchased this F4 in it's place. I never had a 177. Or a break load. Very impressive. I am still working on sighting in the scope. Seems to be low and to the left. It might have to be shimmed. I read there is a break in period for the barrel. I can't figure that one? And why would wear on the break hinge cause the sight to go off if the scope is attached to the barrel? Your still looking down the barrel. And the scope is firmly attached. Other than that is shoots great. My arm is hurting from loading. It takes a bit of arm force to cock it.

Picked up an Element Titan 5-25X56 on the classifieds here. I didn't quite realize what I was getting with this thing. It is kind of a beast.


My rings just came in at a store in town, but I am busy all weekend so probably will pick them up Monday. I did a quick mock up, though, just to see what the Taipan Veteran Long is going to look like.


Definitely looking forward for sighting it all in.

Well, I spray painted my brand new gun. Scope and all.

What are you all using to quiet the pellet impact in the metal pellet traps?
I DON"T want to use rubber mulch as the reason going to the metal trap was to not have to deal with that mess.
I've tried rubber sheets which work for a few days until I'm shooting them to oblivion, maybe I'll try old carpet but history tells me it won't be any better.

Hello all,
I've been contemplating the purchase of a Maverick Sniper, but I was wondering when we'll see a Maverick II since the original was released roughly 3 years ago. Any rumors milling about?

What’s the ideal distance to shoot through a chronograph when testing for speed?

As I look at different airgun options there certainly seems to be a number of fake, or scam, websites aimed at stealing money from people who buy airguns, and their accessories.

Maybe a sticky thread that listed these fake/scam websites all in one place would be helpful to new members (perhaps all members)? (Note, if such a thread exists, I certainly missed it.)

Hey collectors, there's a nice Air Arms Shamal that was just listed on Gunbroker. It's not mine and If I wasn't tapped out I'd be showing it off instead of giving you all a tip off

Looking to sell this rifle. Air Arms S-410 / XTRA FAC. (.22 caliber) Fair market value? Thanks

Did a quick search, but didn’t really find anything. Anyone here actually do it, and if so what was your experience. The process has been around for a while. I know someone that actually did it on a PB but I personally think the PB and caliber he did it on was questionable.
He did say it was easier to clean after the treatment was done.

I have an AEA Challenger Pro in 22cal. with 2 22cal. factory magazines and 1 factory 30cal. magazine. It also has a Black Arts barrel band and Donny FL 1/2 x20. adapter. I bought it last winter from The Pellet Shop. It shoots great and holds air and has no known issues. It still looks like new. I bought the 30cal. conversion kit from The Pellet Shop also but never installed it. I have put about 200 rounds through it. I would either like to sell it or trade it for a Brocock in 22cal. or 25cal. I am asking $675 including shipping in the CONUS only. I have the original box. I will accept Pay Pal or a USPS money order.

Saw a post today that got me thinking. I am moving away from storing my air guns in a soft case to storing them on floor racks. I use Balistol or Breakfree CLP to lube the outside so not sure if that attracts dust and if the dust would stick. Probably just wipe them down after I shoot them. Besides all the stacked gun cases falling over each other, I read that gun cases attract moisture. My basement has a dehumidifier in it but I did have a firearm rust some on the outside when I did not clean it for a week. I must have stripped the oil protectant when my sweaty hands were on it. I do not have small kids around and the basement is alarmed so not concerned about security, just protecting my airguns from rust. Note I have no room for wall racks. Was wondering what others do. Note I did not see a thread on storing vs rusting but please point me to it if this topic has been discussed before.

Digging in the crate. Been a while for these two....
