    Now that you mention Dennis, there's also the USFT and Gary Barnes was making custom big bore "art rifles".

    Wow... you guys are definitely twisting what was stated. Tom makes everything that he can in his facility, which excludes barrels, grips(typically Magpul) and bolts. He even geared up to make most of his fasteners but I'm not sure if he makes all or just certain ones. He's definitely had...

    DeadEye review of the new target design from LexingtonAirguns.com

    The Juneau's are my personal favorite of a very large number that I've used. They reset pretty easy, are QUITE simple and durable, and you absolutely cannot knock them down with a split. Myself and Airgunners of Az had quite a few but the AoA club sold their older targets to the Southwest...

    DAYSTATE RELEASE NEW LIMITED EDITION REDWOLF HERITAGE April 2nd!

    I'm not sure why it would have no performance to back it up? They are quite accurate and can reach near 60 ft lb in 22 w the 33.4s. Slugs are iffy except the NSA/Howler 20.2s which shoot well but have little to no ballistic advantage over the 25.4 MRD. The only one I've seen/held was a Wolf...

    Walther LGV

    I have a 22 synthetic and an LGU in 177... I've heard no complaints about accuracy or shot cycle and both mine are quite accurate. They both came right at 12 ft lb, so not as powerful as some others but very nice to shoot. The LGU has more vibration but isn't obnoxious. The triggers won't be...

    Mechanical or Electronic?

    The Red Wolf is very close to my perfect rifle, of those I've owned or tried. A lot is said about the electronics failing but they are quite reliable... the numbers of failures are incredibly low. Mk3s and Mk4s are still going so the RW will almost certainly be in there with those (Mk5). As...

    Mike Smith, in memory of....

    Oh man... 😟 ... so sorry to hear this. He was definitely a great guy and will definitely be missed... many great memories... It's also a bummer from the standpoint that we share the birthday and age... So sad... Bob

    Daystate Daystate Delta wolf with Ultra valve!

    The Howler is a 20.5 gn NSA packaged in a DS tin. They were chosen for the Howler name because they have consistently been good across a number of rifles. The bc is little to none better than a MRD but for hunting, they're extremely effective on smaller game. The Howler name is similar across...

    Gun flexability, or gun numbers...which?

    It IS interesting... the barrels of all cals have been quite consistent, related to each other. Further proof would be how little the normal removing and reinstalling the barrel affects zero. It's most typical for me to not change it even 1 click but sometimes it might require a couple. I even...

    Gun flexability, or gun numbers...which?

    As an interesting side question: if you have a quick change rifle, what caliber does it spend most of its time as? For my DW, it's a 20 most of the time, the 13.7s are the go to for lower power or FT and the 15.89s reach out to 100 reasonably well, then the 18.9 slugs are for 100 and even...
