Looking for some .25 or .30 moderators to try out on my .25 air rifle. I have tried a wide range before, so hoping to find something I have never used before. Accuracy is more important to me than quietness.

Anyone got some models sitting around that they are no longer shooting and want to clean out some space?

I have an excellent Airforce Talon SS in .177. Very lightweight with plenty of power. 50yds is not a problem with any heavier pellet. At low power it slings crossmans well out to 40yds also. Accessorries not included but can be discussed. Thank You.

I grew up shooting springers and really enjoying how picking off small targets. Then I learned about PCPs, holy smokes talk about a game changer! There is so much to learn and they are super rewarding to shoot!

I have a good condition flashpup for sale or trade to a good scope, or cheaper scope with bipod.

Every time I see a thread picturing an air gun someone still owns after 40 or 50 years I regret all over again tossing my 1974 Sheridan in the trash in the late '80's because I acquired something bigger and better.

There probably aren't many kids reading these forums but 99% of adults here have kids or grandkids. If you have young ones in the family who shoot, don't let them throw their early (especially first) air guns away because they graduate to an "adult" air gun. Keep them for them if you have to.

Past memories will eventually outnumber future dreams 100:1 and they will appreciate being able to hold and look at those old guns, even if they're broken, and relive those memories in their minds.

I wish I still had every one of mine.

Well said.

There have been many airguns and firearms I've regretted selling, trading, or just forgetting about over the years. Wish I would have kept many of them. I still have a few guns from back then. Back in junior high school I was into shooting NRA rimfire pistol bullseye. The club also had 10m air pistol matches that I really wanted to participate in.

The guys at the club let me try out, and told me I should buy a Daisy 717. Saved up $60, a fair amount of cash for a teen in the early 1980's, and bought one. I still own that pistol, and I still enjoy shooting it 40+ years later.

I must have done something right, because my now adult daughter loves all the guns of her youth enough that she'll never sell or trade any of them. So many good memories.

The 717 I bought in junior high-

Thank you @shambozzie

Exactly what I was looking for.

Capt Samm, we spent 3 weeks in Jaco a few years back. Fabulous time! We're thinking about going back to explore somewhere new (for us). What are airgun restrictions (or lack thereof) like in Costa Rica? Do you hunt or target shoot mainly? If hunt, what do you go after?

Nice Gerry! I live further north, very close to Samara. Anytime you'd like to come back and check it out just let me know. Im from Panama, but been coming here since end of the 90s and now live here too. Go to Panama to check things and come back.
Air guns are considered a toy here. Only fire arms have regulations. Lots of places you can go hunting although there are many places protected by the government and some private institutions. I know people who go hunting for deer and stuff around here. I just shoot doves now and other birds ;that are very good eating. I do fish a lot. Let me know if you ever make it back. Mi casa es tu casa!
Saludos amigo!

Here ya go. Its simple if you zero your scope so you can see the arrow which way to turn, both for elevation and windage

Ok that isn’t bad. Thank you much.

I hope you all had a great Holiday season!

For sale is a LW barrel for a prophet, along with two magazines, probe, and end cap. I have another .177 so there is no need for 2 (according to my wife )

@cparkerfishing That’ll hold him. Where on its body did you hit it? from what distance?

55 neck shot meant to be head shot. I tend to flinch trying to squeeze that L2 trigger on game LOL.

Everything is better, and trigger system have been redesigned to a linear movement and have a little longer pull and better cracking, also comes with different length options.

Care to explain further? Or is it proprietary?

And I really got their attention when I put out the .25 Skout Epoch, the . 22 FX Panthera 700mm shooting the ZAN 30.5 Gr slugs, and the .22 Impact Mk III shooting the FX 25.4s, all three of them shooting at once, knocking 1.5” spinners from 70 to 85 yards. Sounded like a steel symphony…

Hi. I got a New liner with CF sleeve so my TRS clamp that holds the barrel shroud need a bushing like this.
But the transport is way to much for this 9dollar piece, so I was wondering if anyone have had any luck with making their own or have any other ways to solve this?

Saber Tactical - Delrin Bushing for TRS Clamp

Saber Tactical - Delrin Bushing for TRS Clamp This bushing goes inside the TRS clamp allowing you to stabilize the FX carbon fiber sleeve. This does not include the clamp. It works when the barrel tension carbon fibre system is fitted. Features: made of black delrin. This is an aftermarket...

If you watch the RMAC footage they call it the Precision Marksman event., which is PRS style shooting. Im moving from TX, where I mainly hunt coyotes and we go to SD Annually to hunt Prairie dogs. I have been a powder burner, reloaded for a long time. I know AL has a 30 cal minimum to hunt Groundhogs. Im leaning towards the 22 Panthera with the heavier slugs. I also want to snipe some Iguanas down in FL as well

And that is my (almost current) entire list and history of me and air rifles! Not going to lie, my Huben GK1 has just arrived, so I am going to wrap up this thread.

But, I definitely need to talk about my accessories, because that really changes your use of air rifles.

Compressed Air
I stared with a Hill Pump--still works perfectly well. Always a good back up.
About 2 years ago, I picked up a refurbished Air Venturi carbon fiber bottle. I have a dive shop a short drive from where I live, and they charge $100 for 10 fills. The owner is also air gunner, so we talk about that also.
But, this past Black Friday, as I mentioned, Pyramyd air or Airgun dept had a $50 off $500, so I picked up the Air Venturi Rovair. So far it has worked flawlessly. This is a true gamechanger for how I hunt. I pretty much just plink and hunt around my property, so this works great for me. Portability is not really a big deal for me, so probably should have skipped the bottle.

Optics
UTG Bugbuster 3-12x32 sidewheel parallax adjust
Hawke Airmax 30 Touch 3-12x32
Hawke Vantage 4-16x44 AO
Walther reflex sight

Bog Deathgrip tripod



Besides the Rovair compressor, the Hawke Airmax Touch and the tripode have really revolutionized how I plink and hunt.

Given that I do not have huge experience, the Hawke Airmax Touch is absolutely awesome. No moving around your face to find the proper eye relief distance. Just put your face up to the scope and open your eyes. And the field of view is amazing. Yes, you do have to get creative with your mounts to get the scope back towards the stock, but so worth it to me. Every time I go to another rifle (it's currently on my AEA), and I'm adjusting myself around to get a scope view, I'm reminded of how easy it is with the Hawke. It really suits my hunting--squirrels, because you have only a few moments to grab a gun and get a shot off.

The Bog Deathgrip tripod has really really changed things up for me, hunting wise. All my criticizing about heavy and long rifles, the tripod negates it to a large degree. Takes only a few moments to deploy, and I can hit a dime at my usual hunting distances. Like, if my rifles are dialed in, and the squirrel is holding still, I can choose what type of head shot to deploy.

So here is kind of where I am at.

See some squirrels, near side of my orchard, grab my AEA with the Airmax Touch, consider the tripod. If I need to track them thru my orchard, take the AEA and go.

See some squirrels on the far side of my orchard (I keep the Benjamin SAM with Hawke Vantage tuned for longer shots), set the SAM on the tripod and hunt.

See lots of squirrels everywhere, and I'm not leaving my property for a bit, choose a rife and leave it the tripod, and shoot whenever a shot presents itself.


What's next? GK1 is here--figuring out how it'll fit in my lineup. Probably creating my own GKarbine, at least until Huben releases a GKarbine. Sell my Bullmaster.

Okay, that is pretty much everything I have experienced when it comes to air guns, and pretty much any sort of guns.
Thanks for the welcome.

A little update:

I mentioned that the old Japanese made Riton scope (an RT-S 5 Mod 2 4-16x50) came apart after just a few shots on the HW77k (it had also seen maybe 500 shots on a SIG ASP20) and was being returned under Riton's lifetime warranty....

They handled it very well IMO. They worked with me to figure out what an appropriate replacement scope would be, and they weren't trying to replace it with a lesser item.
While I may have been able to insist on a replacement from their Japanese made products, the prices on those were so much higher than the equivalent dollars I spent on mine that I didn't ask for that.
What we did agree on (and without any drama or haggling) was an X3 Conquer 3-15x44 with the PDTR reticle. It's a made in China scope, but it certainly seems to be a good one from the off-gun assessment I've given it. Don't worry, it will be on a gun soon enough!
Glass is better than I'll ever need for airgun or rimfire, and online reviews report that the glass is good out to long centerfire ranges. Controls are good, and it seems like some special attention was given to the turrets. The controls are a little (and just a little) stiff but I estimate that will lead to a very good feel after a little break in. Turrets are very positive. It's laid out well, and I really like the reticle upgrade. Simple and VERY useful for airgunning out to 100 yards or so.

So, I have to give Riton a thumbs up for customer service. They turned a bad day into a good one.

upper end Hawke scopes work well with heavy recoil.

I ended up ordering a BRK ghost, silver edition in 25 caliber from Derrick Wall. I haven’t had the chance to shoot it much yet, hopefully this weekend I can get out. Thank you to everybody who offered advice. If you’re in the market for an airgun, and great service, you should give Derrick Wall a try.

My scuba had been only partially filled When I filled the three cylinders for the gun. Next test will start just under 250bar.
