JSB & H&N both sell small sampler packs, but I haven’t seen a multi-brand pack since the Straight Shooters options.

That's some mighty fine shooting there Karen. Well done!

I've been away from shooting for two weeks on vacation. I'll be at Ron's on Sunday. Hope it's like riding a bicycle...

Pretty cool. 3d printing opens up a whole of cool mods. By anychange, would you tell me what the CF shoud diameter is for your Mora?

50mm

Nice mods to your P-rod, Looks like an easy to carry all day hunter.

@Backyard AirGuns - Mike Looks like some exciting things are on the horizon for big-bore airguns. Thanks for sharing your videos.

I have both a newer HW30 with a Vortek PG4 kit/seal and an older R7 with ARH spring/guides and the Vortek Vacu-Seal. You won't go wrong either way with these. I think the PG4 kit is perhaps best suited to the lower powered rifles with its reduced spring diameter. My HW30 will outshoot the R7 in my modest hands. All that said, I have a PG4 kit in my 97K and its easily my most consistent shooter. Exceptional in every way. I can't address spring longevity as it's still shooting fantastic. I shoot many, so none of them get worked too hard. As suggested, maybe shoot it in and then evaluate your needs. Happy shooting!

Tony, did you go "dogging" with him by any chance? Did you ever get to go? That's on my bucket list! Maybe we'll do it together one day. Hope all's well for you & Barb.

Aigunrevisions.com does not come up as a website. You may want to fix your link.

Here is the stock portion of thier site: https://www.airgunrevisions.com/product-category/stocks-and-grips/

That's awesome.

Typically I'm one of maybe two airgun shooters that show up, or even shoot. Really wish there were more in the area.

Has anyone wallpapered their home in carbon fiber?

Oh you can hear a hit on a shell with an airgun, and yes there are ricochet shots also but they don’t make the sound.
Kind like the sound you hear when you hit a squirrel with one. I can’t hear that with a .22rf.
Either way its addictive

I need more cowbell!

Well, last week I went out to look for rats.
Again.
And again — came up empty.


There must be a 6th rat sense — somehow they know(!) that a German in Peru is trying to kill them with a gun from Slovenia aiming through a scope from China, shooting lead from the Czech Republic.
I just love globalization, even for killing....!



Anyhow....
I will try Dave's idea of having a zero profile for different ranges — and just learn to push the buttons fast....
Or to zero at a range that will make my holdover and holdunder marks more intuitive.


When and if I ever find rats, that is.


Can anyone recommend a strong red light, maybe even with a remote pressure switch ("rat tail"). I have one that works pretty good, but is a bit weak in its beam.

Cheers,

Matthias

We strongly encourage everyone to use 2FA (Two factor Authentication) via an Authenticator App (like Google Authenticator).

To enable 2FA first download an authenticator app, then go to your profile > Password & Security > Enable Two-Step verification. Note that 2FA via email is useless if a hacker has access to your email account. 2FA via an app only requires a code once every 30 days. A small price to pay to keep you and everyone else safer.

Thanks

The loose O-Rings at our ACE are located in the plumbing department by the replacement parts for faucets. They had metric and English sizes available.

Click to expand...

ACE batted 0 for 4
The guy that keeps the plumbing department stocked up in the final ACE I went to replied "jeez, your killin' me" when he saw the size I was looking for.
His smallest were approximately 1/4" OD

I went to AMAZON and bought the silicon rings recommended by @BeeZee, and they are working fine so far

Mixed feelings about ebay, but sometimes...? Former Dave Slade R1 .20. View attachment 499970View attachment 499969

No mixed feelings on this one, gorgeous, fantastic purchase!

8 days later. Went with the good old brush and grill. After a 2 hour simmer, of course. Wonderfully tender. Dog got his cut after the simmer. He goes nuts when he gets a whiff of the squirrels after a hunt.

I aalways place a drop of Silicone oil on the fitting when ever I charge from a tank or Compressor. Keeps the check vale lubricated.

Looks like a perfect shot !

Congratulations on the new gun! They are a lot of fun, but I do recommend getting a compressor. It will make your life a lot easier.
