    Picatinny Adapter

    The UTG is great since it has the angle, but my favorite is the Gamo picatinny adapter. The reason is that it’s longer flatter and has a much better stop pin. It’s hard to come by I bought 3 of them from this place in Ireland they shipped with no problems...

    Leupold VX Freedom $199

    That is a good question. I shoot around 20-30 yards normally and haven’t noticed any parallax issues. The main thing for me is that it holds up to the tough recoil of the springer.

    Moderator for Magnum Springer Rifle

    It will help with the sound/noise level certainly, not as much as it will a PCP. here’s JC doing a great side by side comparison of the same moderator mounted to various air rifles. https://airgundetectives.com/covert-airgun-moderator-by-cattleman-guns-full-review-by-airgun-detectives/ ...

    Question on the Diana 54 airking series

    I haven’t noticed any issues with mine, guess you can use a scope compensator rail if you need but I haven’t had the need for it.

    Magnum Springers, do they perform as advertised? I tested mine.

    I was also wondering why the 16.2 grain pellet had such bad power rating compared to the others. The only reason I could think of, is that the pellet is longer and fits snugger. It is also almost slug shaped and creates a lot more friction resistance going through the barrel and looses energy. ...

    Change My Mind-mounts

    This is what I bought lately for my HW97K. It’s still one piece but very light with great hold. Has the stop pin on each end. Around $20 on Amazon. only negative is the level and compass, but it doesn’t bother me. Alfred...

    Magnum Springers, do they perform as advertised? I tested mine.

    When it comes to the firing cycle the Weihrauch rifles where the smoothest. The Gamo IGT’s also did well. The harshest was the Diana 460, also the loudest. It sounds a lot more powerful than it really is, but I really like that rifle. Wish there was a way to put the Gamo 1650 IGT into the Diana...

    Magnum Springers, do they perform as advertised? I tested mine.

    I didn’t test it I imagine it would be like a knuckle ball at distance. The FFT green is surprisingly good out to about 15 yards. At least it’s great fun to hear even a modestly powered airgun making a supersonic crack. The light alloy pellets are much harder than the lead and might put extra...
