    Scope recommendation for Air Arms S400 in .177

    OMG those NF are way above my pay grade. I do how ever track some of those NF prices for historic lows and watch what they go for on the used markets. DVOR had those NF on sale very rare to see several different lines of NF selling $500 to $600 off at any place especially at DVOR about 2 or 3...

    If he can DIY make the Heliboards for just as cheap then no need to order from Greece.

    Scope recommendation for Air Arms S400 in .177

    bamavet55 It's insane to buy the UTG even at $99 it's an optically inferior scope compared to the Center point 30mm side focus 3-12x44. I guarantee you will be much happier buying the Center point instead. The clarity and eye box wider field of view is no comparison with the UTG. Even way way...

    Tuning RWS Excalibre - Feeding issue

    Try lighter pellets. Those old FX made guns don't usually like heavy pellets proof is when you really have to muscle the bolt closed. Lucky you didn't jam a pellet stuck inside the breech. Try Crosman pellets specifically the pointed ones in 22 you might just get phenomenal accuracy. Webley...

    Scope recommendation for Air Arms S400 in .177

    Really believe that UTGs over priced them selves out of the market. They just keep on jacking up their prices with no quality improvement and that 3-9x with front AO should really be selling for around $99 or less realistically. Made by the same manufacturer in CHINA with life time warranty...

    Bushnell Scope

    If it's made in CHINA sell it. If it's made in KOREA keep it. If it's made in JAPAN it must be really old KEEP IT. Either way don't mount any Bushnell on a spring gun due to said questionable warranty policy issues. Bushnell has been known for switching manufactures located in CHINA and...

    Question for all pellet experts...

    I tried the 22 caliber Crosman pointed 14.3 gr and they shot more accurately at longer distances than the CPHP hollow points and Domes and had greater penetration too. Looks to be made of the same harder lead as the other Crosman in house made pellets. They aren't as cheap as the others but...

    packed away for years, new2me Beeman P1, pre-fire questions

    Long time ago I got turned onto the Beeman P1 at a buddy's house another fore arm loving bud would bring his P1 for all to plink with. I liked the recoil and unique smell of the smoking oil coming out of the barrel when fired. Later realized it was called dieseling. Don't oil it if you dont...

    HAWKE SideWinder 30 deal you won't believe

    It is now even cheaper than the first deal I posted that got sold out quickly. Just sharing a good deal here with no affiliation to the seller or brand nor do I have an affiliate link to share to receive a percentage for the click buys like how other shills do who are only motivated by making...

    Bought my first PCP

    That SIG red dot magnifier combo won't make full use of the capability of a PcP not sure a 3x magnifier to a 2 moa red dot does any good or rat hunting. If you appreciate quality then the Leupold Freedom EFR 3-9x33 AO won't add much more weight to an all ready heavy bull pup. If you are...

    Hung Deng?

    Buy any of the disposable Chinese made compressors only if they got 4 or 5 year added protection plan option along with purchase. It is insane not to buy a 4 or 5 year warranty along with them no matter how cheap they can be purchased for. Odds they won't last very long. They may he a few...

    Athlon Ares BTR inaudible turret clicks question

    Got the chance to do a very brief hands on with an Athlon Ares BTR 4.5-27x50 which was originally purchased for $450 a year or so ago or may be was that $400 the original buyer forgot and stated was either $450 or $400 brand new on sale for around half price. I had no interest to buy at that...
