Keep an eye on your pets when you apply that anti freeze. They love the smell and taste but the stuff is deadly. 

Yep, me too and we got a foot of snow today and it's 14 degrees..... but I still got 60 rounds in this afternoon after work in my basement range.

Tons of airgunners have indoor or basement ranges under 25yds. Others have very short backyards. It is also great for chronographing, repairing, testing the gun, targets or ammo etc. You can pop off 3 magazines at half time in a blizzard instead of watching some famous fat girl dance to a...

The problem is scopes setup for 25yds or 50yds are designed for centerfire rifles. Manufacturer assumes the buyer will only be using under 100 yards for getting on paper to sight in at longer yardage. Ones going down to 10yrds manufacturer assumes the gun will be used regularly for very short...

Yep, 25yd parallax is a deal breaker. Not really a huge fan of 4-16 and when I do use a 4-16 I don't need 50mm which just adds a bunch more weight than 40mm or 44mm. I like something like a Weaver Classic or Grand Slam in 4-16. I also don't like cluttered reticles in that lower...

That crack is in the most high stress location on pretty much any gunstock. More gunstocks are cracked or broken there than all the other places combined. It could be that was a very fine internal stress crack which opened up from handling especially if it had a 2lb tacticool scope. If it...

Which one do you have Joe? I have the same problem with looking out the top of my multifocalls. Scope Aid has several models and doesn't mention the looking through the top of glasses on any. How does it work for that? I guess the crystal for punching paper. 

For the most part you will need a different custom set of glasses for a pistol, rifle and scope to see the best. The distances to your eye are all different. The problem with astigmatism is focusing on multiple objects at different distances with sights/scopes and targets. Glasses and...

You need what is called an Escutcheon. They use them for bedding Action Screws in powder burner guns as well as plumbing and other applications. You can get them in different colors and materials. They are on Amazon and Ebay. You drill out the hole in the stock to a larger size and this metal...

I use the Premiers way more than any other pellet in 177. I think if you weigh and size them you will get more accuracy and less deformation than washing and lubing. If I shoot less than 50yds, which is 95% of my 177 shooting, none of that is worth it for me. I use a boatload of Premiers...

The ones I got from Utah were same foam as Pyramid but no top cardboard. Got here just fine. that was 4 different shipments.

I completely agree. The trouble is these shipping companies change contracts and logisics with no warning like we change socks.

Any carrier which transfers to USPS for final delivery is the pits. That is the absolute worst delivery method. Not one manufacturer or dealer will tell you they use that. They simply say DHL/FEDEX which is who picks it up from them. They are well aware the product gets transferred to USPS...

If you are watching your packages in eager aticipation this time of year two weeks before Xmas you are in for a very frustrating experience. Everyone is running those dazzling "free shipping" specials where DHL picks up the package, two days later FedEx has it then two days later USPS gets it. ...

When I first started playing I bought a new Les Paul guitar. It sounded like crap. I brought it to my friend an accomplished player and he would play it awhile and it sounded fixed. I would take it home and it sounded broken again. I did this with several guitars over the months as I...
