Wes is the owner/supplier of Airgun Archery Fun. It's a Canadian store but he'll ship to the USA. Top shelf dealer and a great guy to deal with......

"Turn your PP750 into a carbine with this longer barrel! These are Diana Stormrider Rifle Barrels."........He will machine any length you want to fit your needs. I never extended the barrel past the air tank on mine as I wanted to keep it short. The stock barrel length is either 1.5 or 2 inches shorter than the barrel covering.

I don't own a Marauder but have read they're very nice accurate rifles. Good Choice!

Thank you!

Looks like a guppy tank from Joe Brancato. I keep mine filled with a Yong Heng. I’m pretty sure that the Gx pump, CS4 model is also rated to fill buddy tanks like that.

I've owned north of 200 airguns in my day, and I can only think of 5 that I bought new. I love the older ones, and yes - always wonder about their stories.

These two HW 55's are a couple of favorites. They were both owned by my late friend, Professor Gaines Blackwell, who got them from a gent in Germany. Gaines was the most outgoing, friendly sort you can imagine, and learned that both guns had belonged to the man's father, a WW2 Afrika Korps veteran and enthusiastic match shooter after the war.

Both show signs of much use and careful maintenance, and have some interesting details. The 1956 finger-groove Tyro has a barrel sleeve, a double-threaded front sight for an "eagle eye" len or other accessories, and its original early Rekord trigger was replaced at least once. The slightly older M is most unusual, with a pre-Rekord steel trigger and a 3-digit serial that doesn't fit any known sequence. The original simple front sight was replaced with a Walther tunnel sight (requiring professional cutting of mounting grooves), and has an eagle eye in place.

Great story on those 2 exquisite 55s! If they could speak I'm sure the stories would be fantastic.

* SOLD **

I purchased these two Hammers airgun rifle scopes new last year, a 3-9x32mmm AO and a 3-9x44mm AO. These are entry-level scopes with Adjustable Objectives suitable for airgun use and are a good value for the price. I briefly mounted each scope on a rifle in order to sight it in correctly and check the view and the reticle. The scopes were only out of the boxes for a few hours while they were being compared to my other scopes. I finally decided that my aging eyes strongly prefer the reticle on a different brand of scope.

Everything looks in as-new condition. The glass is clean, the scopes look new, and each scope is already mounted.

I'm offering both of these scopes as a single sale for$85 which includes free shipping within the continental United States. That is almost 1/2 off the current retail price on what are essentially new scopes.

The box will be securely packaged and shipped by UPS. I’ve shipped many fragile items over the years and have never had any problems with damage during shipping.

Thanks for looking!

I bought two of them... the first one was in .22 cal and the bore size was too big and the pellets would not stay in the swing arm, I had to take my cayden apart to retrieve a pellet that got behind the cocking arm. Super frustrating! and a waste of time. hardheaded as I am, I decided to get one in .177 and drill the bore to the pellet head size, now the pellet fits snug and no more falling out and doubles as a pellet sizer. The mod was my frustration towards the product, and to show it can work if there is some interest in precession and quality control.

Sold, thank you Owen!

I've given away thousands $$ of gear in this hobby. Not this rare bird. Like mj102 said, the Challenger Ultra isn't even listed..............

I see no one answered your question, I have the same one going on. I have this baby up to thirteen pounds and that's allot to tote around. currently I have this two point sling going from the side of the bottle to the bottom of the stock. it sits nicely over one shoulder and lays against my back in behind my arm. the scope and light and bipods all are out away from my body. but I was hoping to find someone with a better solution. it would be nice if I could sling it in ready position against my side, but I'm just not seeing how to pull it off. I got a bit carried away on adding extras. my atn x sight 5 must be close to five pounds by itself. I did build a extendable mono pod which works okay for night time pigeon and rat barn hunts. I've considered hooking both ends of my sling to my scope tube and wear it over my head to the opposite shoulder. but I'm not real keen on finding out whether the tube on my scope will handle all that weight. I guess the flashlight and bipods are really not of any use when I'm wandering a barn, but they are very minimal of my total weight. curious if you came up with anything since asking this earlier this year.

What made you take the plunge even though there's not that much info/ reviews out there?

I checked their web site out and read they have been making night vison for 20 years and most of the world's electronics are Asian made. So, with that said, I could return it if not happy with it. so, I have nothing to lose. Dose buying brand name mean you're getting a better product? I say no, most brand name companies outsource some part of their product to companies like this one. We don't live in the same world we did when company's (USA) where proud of what they make. I took a chance and so far, its paid off.

Thanks, ya I am very happy with how it is performing right now. It is very consistent and accurate with the current tune running the H&N 25gr Gen2 slugs. Now only if I can be a better sniper, lol.

Looking for more recent tins; nothing oxidized or faded. If you’re not using them, I’ll buy them

FX/JSB Diablo and Atomic

Those Rifle slugs are a little cheaper than an equivalent JSB pellet. Slugs would also have less wind drift, and better energy retention. The accuracy looks good in this instance.

What does a pellet do better?

Click to expand...

Okay, in my rifles pellets are more accurate, shoot at a higher muzzle velocity for similar weight and at 50 yards still retain more energy.

Next time I place an order I will try some of the .25 Rifle Slugs.

It’s great shooting them at night with the right setup. Hope you kill a bunch.

I just did this to my King, thanks for the idea. The only thing I don't like is that the ARCA rail feels a bit flimsy. I put a rubber strip between the rail and bottle also. I think it will work fine though.

Click to expand...

Yeah, its made to be mounted along its full length, so some flex is expected. It's a shame they don't provide a longer mini arca. That one if definitely beefier, but, I'm totally happy the way mine came out. Glad it worked out for you.

No problem. I enjoy the discussion. Any other questions about the new scope ask away

Can someone who has the HD 3-12 X 44 variant please test and tell us the actual lowest parallax setting? I mean turn the knob all the way down, look at a target from 10-15 yards away, then slowly move towards the target until it gets in and out of focus and then tells us what that distance was.

Click to expand...

Mine will parallax down to 10 yards on.max power, anything less is not in focus.

I agree with Spartan and would add that changing the velocity has not convinced my rifles to like a particular pellet. I think the process is to find a pellet your gun seems to like and then test speed (or tune) to see what it likes best. If you start out at 25 or 30 yards you may want to test at longer range before making a final selection. My P35-22 likes JSB 18s about as well as H&N Baracuda 21s at 30 yards but at 35 the H&N shot better. I'm shooting much less expensive air rifles but I like to stay in the 800-900 fps range.

Well their always?screw a flat head screw into the stock and back it out until the safety engages.
