I’m in the UK, and yep, that’s illegal—6 months in jail and a fine. Most raptor killings happen on gamebird shoot land, where they’re seen as threats. A dead raptor costs nothing, a dead pheasant’s worth 40 quid. Game bird shooting is very popular here and many farmers lease their land for it. Like most evils, it’s all about profit. Breaks my heart.

Somehow one threat in the UK and"ALL OF WHATEVER INVOLVED NEEDS TO BE BANNED, PROTECT THY NANNY STATE"

1000s of raped English girls, 1000s of jihadists openly describing their fantasy of subjugation and execution of the English "kuffars" IN THEIR OWN LAND.... Crickets. How dare you think former ISIS, FSA, SAA, Al-Nusra fighters are dangerous; it's only been a few mass stabbings, a suicide bombing of a teeny bopper concert, and the beheading of Lee Rigby, and you dare suggest this is more dangerous than one child threatening someone with a sub-12 air rifle?

Keir Starmer ..disgusting human. God save you all.

As an American it's so damn sad seeing what's happening in your country. The state has really completely erased knowledge considered most basic of the history of the island nation who dominated the globe for a long time.

I know I probably broke TOS but I cant ignore it. And I'm sure it leaves you nauseated.

Have you checked out the Immersive Optics prismatic scopes with the longer eye relief, 5×24 or 5×30 to see how you like them. These two are still fairly reasonably priced.

I’d like to see the QB57’s, B5-10’s and XS-B3’s brought back. Those were cool and if they were still available at a reasonable price I’d snatch them up.

Not sure if they're still in business, but Flying Dragon Airguns was a great source.

Well, I fiddled with it a little more last night and discovered that the screw in retainer at the top back of the magazine (for valve stem?) Was not tight. Pulled it apart, did a little cleaning and lubricating, and put it back to together. With a new CO2 cartridge installed it didn't seem to be leaking, at least to my old ears. Took a few shots and hung it on the wall.
This morning, to my delight, it was still holding pressure and shooting fine!

The final match of 2024 for N50 held at Fairfield Sportsmans Association will be on Oct 26th.

Address: 6501 River Rd, Harrison, OH 45030

This will be a 6 card match so bring plenty of ammo if you want to stay for the 2nd set of 3 cards.

Group · Members of Airguns at Fairfield Sportsmen's Association
Saturday, 10/26/24, FSA will be holding our second National 50 Benchrest League match. Come compete against some of the Region’s best benchrest shooters. N50 is one of the fastest growing benchrest leagues in the U.S. and we will be following the set of rules found at National50.NET. N50 is designed so that anyone with a .30 caliber or smaller air rifle or any .22 caliber rimfire rifle can compete in one or more classes. And air rifles shooting pellets or slugs can compete in classes against rimfire shooters. Restrictions on rifles and rests have been nearly eliminated and tethering is allowed. However, only “commercially” available pellets and slugs may be used. Gates open at 9:00 AM and shortly after targets will be available for practice and warm-up, we will have a safety meeting at 10:15 AM, and the competition will start at 10:30 AM. The cost of this match is $20 for non-members. To encourage more airgun membership at FSA, the cost for members will be $10.
For N50:
1) Everyone in attendance must bring and use their own ear and eye protection.
2) We will randomly draw for benches. When you arrive, please check-in first and get your bench assignment before unloading and setting up.
3) We will be shooting from steel framed tables that are higher than the benches, so it would be wise to bring an adjustable stool.
4) Sight-in and warm-up is ONLY between 9:00 AM and 10:45 AM. The range will be cold between rounds for safety purposes while cards are scored.
5) The winner will be decided by the sum/total of all 3 cards, and certificates will be awarded for the top three places in each class assuming the 3/5/7 minimum shooter criteria is met. Three shooters in a class are necessary to award a first, 5 to award a second place and 7 to award a third place. The 3/5/7 rule will be ignored if the score of a shooter in a higher class exceeds the highest score in all classes below theirs.
6) We plan to have a second 3-card match (assuming we have enough participants). Cost of the second match is $10 for everyone.
Our loaner gun program, new this year, will be available at this event. New shooters that don’t have the necessary equipment but want to give Benchrest a try are welcome to come out and shoot a great rig. Everything they need will be included (the person using the loaner gun will only pay their match fee). The sponsors of this gun are High Pressure Pneumatics, Predator International, Hawke Optics, and Donny FL. HPP provided an Air Venturi Avenger, Hawke stepped up with a sidewinder, Donny FL donated moderators and Predator sent us a great selection of JSB pellets.
Don’t forget that Baker Airguns is also one of our sponsors and has faithfully supported FSA and air gunning in general for many years. Make sure you consider all these fine companies first when making Airgun related purchases.
FYI – All members of “Airguns at Fairfield Sportsmen’s Association” Facebook group will receive invites to all events.

Why should I get ahead of the rush? There is nothing in stock.

I just got that same rifle in a trade for a Brocock Sniper. I have a GK1 and wanted a big brother. So far I'm really liking it. I guess Kelly at Krazy Cool went through it and resealed everything just before I got it.

Wonderful hunt, shooting and pics! Beautiful Dreamline!

Great results and I have to admit, it's a great looking Bulldog. Mine is the camo version and ugly as sin...haha

Since UA is the 'new' FX repair station, why not call them?

Stingray and Tomahawk

Both .25 Webleys

The forecast shows it should be a nice fall day on Saturday in Palmyra, PA.

Thanks guy’s for your advice.I have removed all the slug power kit except the pin probe.I have started to retune and as of now I have the 2nd reg at 110 bar macro at 16 and micro about 4.75 .The 27gr H&N is shooting at about 940.My idea is to get it to shoot as efficiently as possible with the highest possible shot count and lowest 2nd reg pressure at this point I am happy with the results.Thanks again.

It is indeed designed to allow shooting off the bench. I'm told you can put your hand beneath the cutout and use it to make small elevation adjustments.

Just got another #3 for close pesting. Too many squirrels wrecking havoc on my avocados. This one set to 16 fpe, shorter barrel for more baffles inside shroud to tame the bark down. I like this platform as it's easy to de-cock if I don't get a safe shot. I will be making a more ergo grip for this soon.

Mannnnn... That's what I am going with!! Your are 100% correct! I appreciate the help!!!

So this is the SDS on oriely 50/50 pre pre-deluted antifreeze... Your are correct my friend. Just wanted to give you props!!!!

My Falcon is 10 years warranty...if I last that long...
I can confirm that for a $1000 piece price the Falcon glass clarity is superior to Sightron. The Sightron only looks better cosmetically.
Ranging @ 50 M is a crisp, at 100 M the DOV starts blending and need a bit of there and back to find a spot.
Sightron owners raise hands who can zoom in to a full power of x50.... the Falcon can do that.

I own that gun now, and it shoots pretty darn good up to 50 yards. Troy did an outstanding job on it.

So cool to know Sexy Rexy is still performing well for you…

I bent the barrel using just the padded vise as described on this thread. Barrel cant looks a lot better but still a slight bend upward. I shot it this morning and it still shot high at 25 yards but able to adjust scope close to bottom. Have about 1.5 full turns left before it bottoms out. Hope that will not harm the scope as the RWS 350 recoil is brutal. No damage noted on stock or receiver and as stated, velocity up to specs (850 fps) so I should have my gun back working fine. I think I am good to go and lucky I had no major damage or injury from my screw up. Thanks for all the replies.

I use to be able to shoot a whole month on a 300 BAR 12 Liter dive bottle, and firering quite a few .177 shots in the process, already back then 1000 shots in a day at the range was no problem.
Shooting tethered also mean i shoot my bottles lower, CUZ using like 80 - 90 BAR regulated pressure to shoot with i can shoot my main bottle down to 150 BAR or less.

If you are filling your rifle bottle and then disconnecting, you ideally want to fill it to the max pressure to have your ideal / MAX shot count, and so i assume you will be prompted to fill your main bottle at a higher pressure, which by no means is a problem if you have your own compressor, but going to some shop to get it done is a buzz kill, or it was for me.
Also dive shops here dont really want to touch 300 BAR bottles.

I now generally use a 9 Liter carbon fiber bottle, CUZ my steel / carbon bottle are too damn heavy to lug around.
But i also have my own compressor to fill my tanks now.

If you are shooting a .30 rifle,,,,, well you will be using a lot more air than i am.

Spoiler i can shoot with like 40 - 50 BAR pressure and still get my .177 pellets up to their ideal marching speed, a 700 mm long barrel help with that.

Crash test dummies was the only more fun project. Dental chairs are heavy, 350 lbs. or more. We were having issues with fractured iron castings in the field. The primary place it occured? New York city. We reproduced the same fractured casting in testing. How did we test? We shoved 5000 dollar chairs off the freight dock in such a way they would of course land upright below. Yup, the truckers were dropping our chairs off the back off a freight truck. The inertia would fracture the casting. We added supports in the packaging and no more fractures. Sure was fun figuring that one out.

I have

You know I always admire your work.
About the best you can do is counterbore the screw holes slightly oversize. Make screws with a shank same diameter as the counterbore. We need "3 threads in the work" minimum. Install them. Now cut them off slightly proud. Peen the tops of the screws to fill out the holes tightly before you machine them off. Now the marks are at least perfectly round and virtually seamless.

I have tried it. Because of the round top they still show. I just deal with them when I have a block With screw holes ..I have welded them with satin bluing and got better results. As it hides but I would rather not deal with uncontrolled heat blobs. Round screws flush are better looking to me. The best blocks are the HW WITH NO SIGHTS obviously.

I just ordered a Hammerli AR20 and would like any input from owners? Thanks in advance. Charles

I have used chronys for about 30 years. The Garmin is the most user friendly and convenient by a mile. In a year I have taken it to range more than the other 3 in all that time. I can find fault with ice cream but why, I don't have anything to prove. I like both, the Garman and ice cream.
