I know in very fast boats they would like to have a slightly rough surface contact the water rather than a very smooth one perhaps this with the coating against the lead works in the same way.
It is likely working along the same principles of hysteresis, similar to the effects of air and gas not attaching to golf balls and engine intake manifold plenums due to the dimpled or rough surface finishes.

Multiples of the same rifles

As a follow-up to my previous post on this thread my new to me Weihrauch arrived today and as expected it did not disappoint. A HW35 standard in .177 caliber with a new style beechwood stock. The more positive breech lock is new to me and I now understand why the model has such a following, its operation is flawless. It’s a tad bit heavier than my HW50s but since I plan on staying with the iron sights it doesn’t concern me. This was a pre-owned purchase from AoA which advertised its condition as excellent. The guns appearance is darn near flawless, it is apparent that the previous owner had mounted a scope or other sighting device but I only noticed it after closer inspection. There is a lot being said about the new style beechwood stocks, personally I like the look but hey I’m the one who took the bait right. AoA’s test reports the velocity of an average of 812 with hobbies.
Another satisfying AoA purchase.

air gun shop in KY , really !

Yes sir it was me and the wife, she wanted to get her blooming onion for Veterans Day. I’m hoping to bring him some toys to play with that he doesn’t carry. Daystate/Brk need to get on the ball with slug barrels, I think that is a big holdup for some buyers.
I have thought about the brk ghost but can’t justify it in my mind other than a want lol. I already have an umarex notos for my youngest son, airmaks Katran .22 for my oldest son, an fx impact .22, fx wildcat .25 and fx powerpup .30 for me lol. I pretty much have everything covered. Maybe another big bore one of these days but I can’t seem to really get into them, I guess because I want to shoot everything I have and the big bore ammo is more expensive

OrcAir / OrcTac PCP fill bottle - the cheapest you'll find! 98ci (1.6L) 4500psi

i dont see DOT anywhere am i missing it?
I don't see it anywhere on the bottle however it was on the certificate that came with the bottle.

In my case (and likely many folks') it's of zero concern because I'll never have someone else fill the bottle and if I did they probably wouldn't even look for DOT, only for hydro dates. Speaking of which I will probably never hydro test it either.

American Air Arms  American Air Arms EVOL Paradigm Mini

That’s right, I said Paradigm Mini.

View attachment 403951

Alright, alright, so this isn’t real. Which is probably evident by my amateur photo cropping. But it ought to be real. IMHO of course.

All the higher end subcompact carbines are all black tackycool style rifles and while they may work just fine, they’re too utilitarian to me and aren’t very sexy. Again IMHO of course. The EVOL Mini is the ideal size and I liked that about it when I checked one out at Airguns of Arizona a few months ago but I’m just not that into the all black tackycool rifles that much. Especially at this price point. The Paradigm on the other hand is sexy as he!!. But it’s just too long for my personal tastes. I like my gals short and petite. We need to blend short and compact with the beauty and sex appeal and I’m convinced that the airgun world needs some high quality subcompact wooden stock air rifle options.

I don’t think this would be too hard to do either. I assume a Mini tube and barrel can be put on a Paradigm with little issue so it’s just a matter of a stock. And I’m sure a professional like Steve Corcoran could make the stock easily enough. The forearm just needs shortened and do away with the recessed rail in the bottom. Maybe make it a little slimmer and rounder instead of flat. It wouldn’t be a bench gun anyhow. Personally I think this would be an an awesome offering and I’d buy one tomorrow if it were available. I’d go with a walnut stock.

So let’s hear it. Would anyone else besides me buy this if it were available?

nope ,not interested

Is your life depending on using this tripod? Not really I think so I wouldn't spend your money on a new RRS tripod unless you have plenty to spend. Don't get me wrong, yes the RRS is slightly better in some aspects but it's the law of diminishing returns since you pay a lot more for a little bit of extra stability/rigidity.

If you don't have an opportunity in your area to try one you can start with the Leofoto or similar brand and try if you like it. You have a solid base to try out then and once you can try a RRS version you can properly compare it and decide if it's worth triple ;) The leofoto tripods do well second hand so you should be able to sell it quickly if you want to.

I went halfway and got a great deal on a Fat Boy 3 section tripod and Levitate leveling head.

Also want to build a custom shooting sticks style bipod so I'll go with a pair of Leofoto monopods for that project.

Digital Scopes Vs Optical Scopes

Not too familiar with digital scopes.
Do these digital scopes still have erector tubes in them? or are they electronically adjusting the POA?

Reason I asked is that one of the problems with conventional scopes (erector tubes/turret) holding zero is that you are dependent on springs and mechanical means to hold zero. I know some of the more expensive scopes are almost bullet proof...but sooner or later...

Not to say electronics are better and won't fail. I think a properly designed electronic aiming system has the potential to be more robust than most erector tubes/turret design.
