Today, with my Gamo airgun in hand, I aimed at a robin on my backyard fence. I missed, but the moment was unforgettable.

My go-to airgun is my trusty Crosman 1077. This baby has been with me through thick and thin, from plinking sessions in the backyard to those unforgettable camping trips with friends. There's just something about its reliable performance and lightweight feel that keeps me coming back. One time...

I had a similar hiccup with a different model a while back. Spent hours tinkering and troubleshooting, only to realize it just wasn't holding air properly. It can definitely leave you feeling disillusioned. But don't give up just yet! There are some great options out there once you find the...

Welcome to the forum! You've got an awesome collection going on. A few years back, I had a similar lineup when I got back into airguns. It's a great way to rediscover the hobby. I actually rehomed a couple of mine too—ended up selling my Marauder .22 and AEA .25 to a couple of friends who were...

I had a similar issue with my Crosman 38T a while back. It started leaking CO2 and I was close to giving up on it. Instead of buying a seal kit, I found a guy named Mike at Mike's Airgun Repair. He specializes in vintage airguns and did an amazing job on mine. The turnaround was pretty quick...

I chatted with a few other airgunners and some think the Red Panda might need a longer break-in period. I'm not ready to give up on it yet—sometimes these things just need a bit of patience and tweaking. Anyone else having the same experience?

I used a mix of Danish oil and a bit of artist paint in burnt umber and crimson, and it turned out really nice. The key was applying thin layers and letting each one dry fully before adding the next. Be patient, and don't rush it. I also tried wood dye mixed with mineral spirits on a test piece...

One thing I absolutely love on my favorite gun is the ambidextrous safety. Being a lefty, it's made a world of difference for me. I used to struggle with right-hand-only safeties. Once, during a competition, I fumbled with the safety on a standard gun and lost precious time. Since then, I've...

My .22 G3 has been a solid performer too. I picked mine up a few years ago and it’s been my go-to for backyard plinking and small game hunting. Recently, I decided to see what it could really do, so I topped it with a Wraith Mini and did a bit of trigger work.

I used to have a similar ritual with my guitars. Every time I changed strings, I'd play a few chords on each one, even if I wasn't planning on using them right away. Plus, it made picking up any guitar feel fresh and exciting.

One day, I stumbled upon a shooting range while out hiking. Curiosity got the best of me, so I gave it a shot. Turns out, I was pretty good! But it wasn't just about hitting targets; it was calming, like meditation with a kick. So, I kept going back. It became my thing, you know? A way to unwind...

I remember taking my buddy's rifle out for a spin once. It was like a laser beam, hitting targets dead-on even when the conditions weren't ideal. Nothing beats that feeling of nailing the sight-in shot, especially in the rain.

Reminds me of this old beater car I had. No matter how much TLC I gave it, it just wouldn't stop breaking down. Eventually had to let it go and find something more reliable.

I had a similar scare with my old air rifle. Turned out, a tiny pebble got wedged in the barrel once, causing all sorts of weirdness. Took me ages to figure it out! As for your baffles, have you tried reaching out to Stoeger directly?

Hey there! Lasers on airguns are a cool topic, and you definitely posted in the right spot. I use a laser on one of my rifles for night shooting too, mostly for raccoons getting into the trash. I mostly use red lasers, but I've been thinking about trying a green one for lower light...
