What rifles have you bought twice?

Two HW 97Ks at the same time from AoA with identical scopes, one in blue laminate and one stainless steel. The blue rifle stays at my main residence and the stainless one at the winter place in Tucson. Both in .22. But I am looking to add a .177 to my existing .22 Red Wolf, so that likely will be the second double.

Just got my Airmarksman Ace slugs

That BC of 0.245 G1 at 957 fps is wildly optimistic. I shot mine from a 700mm 1:16 twist FX liner at 950-975-1000 fps and got 0.155 to 0.160 G1. My Altaros 40 grain Kings get approx 0.195 G1 at 900 fps and they are a smoother step from body to boat tail. For information, I get about 0.245 G1 from the .25 caliber Altaros Queen 60 grain at about 880 fps.

In Dubber’s video comparing the ACE. Altaros, and ZAN, he used an experimental 800mm 1:14 twist in his Impact M4 and got the best results with that. So @Ballisticboy has a valid point with twist rates.

I just used the BC that Airmarksman claims.
I saw your actual BC results you got from FX Ballistic Chronograph.

I hope FX does come out with a 1:14 or 1:12 liner for the 22.

When they announced the Ace slugs were 40.1gr it made me wonder if the MDT pro shooters and others also had a prototype 1:14 or 1:12 liners in their rifles.

N/A  Custom gun stocks.

Order a custom stock from whoever. Have them install a cheap used, damaged junk springer action on it and ship it to you as a complete rifle. A cheap, junk used springer with a custom stock?? Do you think the pinheads in customs will figure that out?
Additionally, if you have a good friend you can trust in the states, they could put this together for you. Get the stock, find a suitable action to drop in it, then send it to you. Or you could send your action to the states and have it sent back? Might not be reasonable or feasible, but could be an option?

What are your thoughts on lead exposure?

“IS IT SAFE ?” ( Marathon Man)
at 68 im still with the mind of a scared twelve year old . Since that time ive
done all I could to as Pete said “ hope I die before i get old”. I just didn’t push
hard enough. Now I have to get even fuc ing older. So for the stuff ive done
to worry about anything in the airgun hobby just cracks me up. Yea I fill tanks
just above 5000 psi it’ll give me a hell of a jump if something popped haaa!

Daystate  Used Daystate Air Wolf CDT .25, switched to used BRK sniper XR magnum .25

Just purchased a used Daystate Air Wolf CDT .25. Am I in for a Treat or Trouble?

It comes with Optisan 6-24x50 Scope and Donny Fl Sumo moderator. Anyone still shooting one of these? This will be my introduction rifle into the PCP world. It will be used for target and hunting.

Let me know what you think, thanks in advance.
I’m a big believer in treating used gun purchases to a complete reseal. it gives me complete confidence in the rig. Daystate is my favorite brand of air rifles followed closely by Brocock and RAW.
So.

It have taken 8 months, but finally a rat showed up at my friends place, unfortunately for it, i was there too with all the bells and whistled needed for taking out things in complete darkness.

So it got a JSB heavy to the back of the brain and that assured a fairly short " dance of death "

Naturally i also enjoyed 2 days of plain old lead slinging.
So i am down 800 13 gr slugs - 350 16 gr slugs - 300 or so MRD pellets, and a couple of JSB heavy as aside for the rat i also shot a few pest slugs, slugs with the Danish name ( translated ) Killer snails.

New heat source for the shot shed en route, this coming winter should be pea shooting in even higher comfort, even if yesterday my friend examined the shot shed from a distance with his new thermal spotter, and fount it leaking heat all over ( we had the old oven on last night as it was only 10 deg C outside but a nice comfortable 25 deg C inside the shed )

Also a visiting FX shooter, well guess who had the things ( O-rings ) to get him going.
AND ! i am not even a FX shooter, at least my Maverick with the night scope see little action these days.

What's your thoughts on AEA airguns? Are they hype or legit?

Ideally a firmer valve spring would probably be better but i gave up looking for them so I just tried the spacer and it works pretty well. I originally got the idea from Hill airgun because I also have a marauder and ordered his matched parts kit, its a heavy hammer spring, heavier valve spring and a larger transfer port and in a unregulated gun it just works so good, I thought, this is exactly what the AEA guns need.

Heart/Lung thread

We all know and love the.long going "Head Shot Thread". A head shot doesn't always present itself as the best option. Show off your heart and lung punches.


I'll start


Chipper at 37y. Had been raiding the feeder and digging tunnels all over.the place. Waiting for him to present a shot all morning. Had him in the crosshairs around 9:50 but a chickadee alarm call sent him darting. Just about 10min ago I see him working down tbe berm from a tunnel entrance. Straight to the feeder. I hit him on his return trip. A tree trunk was in the way of the headshot so I chose thoracic treatment. You can see the peanuts and sunflower kernels he was carrying with him

Fx impact mk2pp, 700 superior, 23gr .218 HP slug @ 980fps.View attachment 586742View attachment 586743
yes i agree, sometimes I gotta make the shot count on critters that destroy my farm equipment and a brain shot is not always available like i prefer.
but with it placed right it can be just as efficient.......👨‍🌾

What's your thoughts on AEA airguns? Are they hype or legit?

Will do!
All I have is a budget scope on it for now so that will be changed out soon as well.
Im hoping to get this thing pretty accurate out to 200 yards
I am going to order some of those, they look and sound like they might be the hot ticket

Other  Break Barrel VS. Underlever

I have two of the HW 97 rifles. Easiest cocking and shooting guns I have, also lightest weight. Only downside I see is that the front sight is fixed. Loading can be a little tricky, some pellets just do not want to fit in the pop up breech.
How old are your 57s? I’ve been eyeing that model for a few years but their accuracy seems to be hit or miss with the older models. HW says they’ve cured the issues with the latest offerings of the 57, but there’s so little information on them out their from real world users.
