    [SPF] WTS Hawke Frontier FFP 3-15X50 Mil Pro

    Bought this scope earlier this year and it has been mounted to my FX Boss. I am going to a higher powered, one inch scope. Great scope, will ship in original box. Price is reduced to $450.00. PM for further info, and thanks for looking.

    Shorter barrel/power loss

    Thanks for the reply. That is less than what I had hoped for, and low enough that it might not be worth the shorter length that would be accomplished.

    Shorter barrel/power loss

    I have BSA Scorpion .22 that produces 870fps/14.3 JSB/ 24fpe. The factory barrel is about 19''. I am considering installing a 12" barrel. Can anyone give a good estimate of energy loss with the shorter barrel. Thanks

    12 FPE, .17 vs .22

    I have owned a BSA Ultra SE .22, for several years. Blued steel and wood. It is accurate and a joy to own and shoot. I had originally wanted a .177, but they were not available at the time. I would really like to add the .177 version. You might find that the .177 comes from the factory at around...

    I'm feeling really at peace with my lineup...

    My lineup tops out with a FX Boss .30. On a calm day recently, I shot three, consecutive, 100 yard groups , each well under an inch. Yeah I'm feeling pretty satisfied. I'm sure others do much better, but for me it was great day.

    Got my 6K nitrogen tank

    I like the nitrogen bottles because there is no maintenance hassle, or maintenance cost. The older I get, the less I like either maintenance or hassle. Also, I don't have to worry about contaminating my high dollar guns with moisture. I just make a phone call and have enough gas for about six...

    Barrel length of new FX Dreamline Compact Tactical

    Well, I wonder if they intend to make the non- folding version shown on their website, the folding version, or both. I am probably in the minority on this one, but I like the looks of the non-folding version better.

    100 yrd groups. Please post yours.

    Thanks Sonny. Hardest I have laughed in a while.

    Barrel length of new FX Dreamline Compact Tactical

    The specs for the new Dreamline Compact Tactical show it, and the "extended" version to both have a 500mm barrel in .22 caliber. Does anyone out there know the correct specs for the compact (not extended model)? The picture appears to preclude the possibility of a 500mm barrel in the compact...

    FX Boss to High Power 25 cal

    Glem, I think I changed my text while you were responding, but I read the previous discussion from December and get the general idea. I wonder if I might be happier with 50fpe and a larger shot count in .22. My head spins with all the possibilities and I have been a little hesitant to jump in. I...

    FX Boss to High Power 25 cal

    Glem, what is the shot count with the 62fpe .22? If you build a .22, is there any advantage starting with an FX500 as opposed to the Boss?

    FFP VS SFP

    If you ever inadvertently have the SFP scope on the "wrong" power when you take an important shot using holdover (using reticle graduations), you could realize that it is not just hype. If you ever change your scope power, it is not a matter of "if' this will happen, but "when". If you never...
