Is lubricating pellets necessary?
- Projectiles
- 49 Replies
I am going to find out. I used to clean lube sort all that and I stopped .
I buy JSB pellets not crosman premier and stopped doing anything but shooting.
Now I’m in a position that has me shooting field target three or four days a week. I am cranking through some pellets. So I bought a bottle of oil. And I put a new tin of pellets in a bag with six drops of oil. Rolled them around and returned them to the tin.
Now I am going to shoot both a new tin with oil and a new tin without . Both from the same batch. Let’s see what happens.

Huben GK1 - Carbine or Stock Mods

Here is my review on the Slide Stock I recently bought. I have no affiliation with the company where I bought it from. If you need to know where I bought it, you can PM me or search for it.
I love my folding stock, but IMHO, this stock is perfect for those who want to holster their GK1 but also want a carbine without the bulk or weight! The Slide stock is rock solid metal with minimal slop, no major wiggle. It allows for more points of contact. It also can be partially extended and locked to use as a pistol. There is a 13" LOP, a 15" LOP would be perfect for me! The Stock poles are angled sloped downward, but if the LOP was a little longer and that the butt plate was longer, it would provide a more comfortable scope sight picture, and the small angled slope not necessary, but I still think it is awesome! I will let the company know of my opinions. Overall, It is a holstered hunting machine! The only issue I have is that it does not have the ability to have a cheek rest. But the benefits far outweigh the need to have a cheek rest!
I am ordering a top Pic rail to move my scope back more, and a 1911 grip, and blacked out accessories, and this baby is finished! Unless I decide to go Shorty!

MINI REVIEW: Huma Mod 40 Avalanche Moderator (Problem Solved?)

Just to be clear, what I said about 2" groups was about the Sig. Now as for the Avenger, compared to what you've shown, it's not bad for someone wearing a blindfold, because that's what it looks like to me. So maybe the low shots were because you opened your eyes?

Scopes with center dots and suitable for hunting?
- By Liontracks

wow very nice thank you!OK, good, that's helpful:
Top end magnification:
At least 16x for 100y range — better 20x for seeing impact holes in paper target.
Bottom end magnification — really means "Field of View (FoV)":
Your comment that your 6-24x has a FoV that is too narrow is spot-on for ranges of 15y (typical FoV of 6-24x scopes is 20-22ft @100y).
For close-range hurried shots I consider 30ft "sufficient" — but 40ft "ideal".
There are few scopes with a bottom end of 4x that will give you those 30ft.
The bottom end magnification that gives you those 40ft is usually 3x.
️ Combining your top end and bottom end magnification requirements results in the ideal scope being a:
★ common: 3-18x
★ very rare: 2.5-20x | 3-24x | 3-28x
Less than "ideal" due to a narrower FoV, but "sufficient" could be:
★ uncommon: 4-24x
★ common: 4-20x (but often with a rather narrow FoV, e.g., Sightron)
★ rare: 4-32x
I attach below 2 Scope Specs Tables where you can compare scopes with those magnification ranges.
All scopes in the tables are separated into SFP and FFP.
They all have a 10y minimum parallax.
They all have exposed elevation turrets and a hold-off reticle.
⮕ You now simply go to the SFP section in the Tables.
There you find your magnification range —
then make sure the FoV is OK —
and note the price and warranty —
and if the reticle has a center dot (CD). (Please, note that only recently I started adding this info, so there are some scopes where this is not stated.)
Have fun scope shopping!
