    If you started now?

    I like what I have, custom M-Rods and Urbans. Anything beyond that I have plenty of RF powder burners to gap to centerfire rifles. What I would avoid like the plague is springer air rifles, especially so called magnum types.

    Quietest, and most accurate

    This thread, like several others of recent, are opinion threads. The OP asked for the quietest and most accurate air rifle and IMO that is not a spring gun. We all give our opinions based on our life experiences. I have discovered PCPs. I appreciate your opinion that you are satisfied with your...

    Quietest, and most accurate

    Spring guns are especialy harsh and noisy. The pellet is propelled from the gun by a huge spring and cup that slams into the breech port. That makes noise. Of course, most PCP rifles have a much smaller spring that propels a hammer into the knock off valve which also makes noise. A Maruader with...

    Are glass optics becoming obsolete?

    I like my 1X4 Nikon African set at 1 power, both eyes open. I use Warne return to zero QR rings for reversion to iron sights. One of a dozen or so Marlins I have, a GBL in .45-70.

    Springer vs. PCP

    I shot the stock over with 2K matte clear. It was developing a nice patina but now it will wear like iron. The M-Rod was a hydrodip Veil by myself and shot over with 2K matte clear. Not sure about camo other than on the stock. I do have some closely matching self cling camo tape I do use and it...

    Are glass optics becoming obsolete?

    This fellow is probably hoping you have a digital scope in need of a software upgrade or a dead battery about to quit. He is also probably thinking of how tasty and crunchy you might be. Of course, electronic optics are being used in combat. But the refresh rate, that bear is moving really...

    Springer vs. PCP

    Did you read the context from previous posts. I never said a water buffalo and a .25 air gun was ethical. You are making extrapolations. I did say and will say that for my purposes I find spring guns unethical for the animals I hunt which does not include water buffs. You are now blocked along...

    Springer vs. PCP

    You are just being silly (n). Every hunter decides for themselves what is sporting and what is not and what is ethical and what is not. Your springs guns, none of them, meet my criteria no matter how much you whine about my choices. They are my choices. You do you. I will do me. Springer vs...

    Raccoon Hunting

    1. Yes, maybe. 2. Yes. Especially at shooting distance. 3. I do not eat them, just use their pelts and they are best in late fall. 4. Yes. No. Maybe. Rural yes, urban, no, in between maybe but probably not.

    Postal Service Woes, Lost Barrel

    I had a barrel disappear and then show up. Had a gun disappear and then show up. Sold some scuba gear and it went to Limbo and then arrived late. Bought a electronic item from the country of Georgia and it tracked to the USPS where it then disappeared for 4 months and then was delivered after...

    eBay. Are links allowed here? The seller was dadr-232. I had him custom print for me because the barrel to shroud distance is different with the high rise JSAR breech. There are several makers selling similar items who can probably custom print with a larger gap. Now, let me say, I care nothing...
