Three things you can’t disagree on. The high end compressors are nice to have. The money is hard to justify based just on the numbers. No one is going to change anyone else’s opinions on this subject

It’s like buying shoes. One good pair for $100 or five cheap ones for $20. Is one guy right and the other wrong? Maybe in todays world the expensive shoes are $500 and the cheap ones $100.LOL Some seem to get just as much out of the cheap stuff as the more expensive but that seems to be the...

Everyone has done something similar probably more then once. Yesterday I mounted a scope and forgot that I had not tightened the rings. Gun actually grouped pretty good I noticed it when the reticle turned about 20 degrees . And it was really loose. I say you have no problem. It’s only a...

I would suggest starting out with a nice spring piston before you go PCP. How about a Wiehrauch S30 or similar. Shoot that and allow others and then move on to PCP. The pcp guns are much more expensive and you need accessories which can add up quickly. If you have family involved some one...

I ordered a S30 a week ago. It’s supposed to be in shipment. I’ll let you know. 

I would suggest that you stick with the 217 knock outs and very carefully tune the gun for them. Try around 900 ft per and make very small adjustments. Helpful to have a Chrony to watch velocity. However some times the most accurate is not the lowest extreme spread. Shoot three shots at 30...

I’ve tried everything and I use a bench. A tripod would be one step down for me. Monopod just not stable enough for my shooting. I know the bench is a PIA for many applications but it’s by far the best for me. I can’t shoot prone 

I’ve found point of impact change to be a common problem. Seems like any change no matter how slight will have an affect. Typically a minor one but often just enough to cause a miss at long yardages. Air rifles are more susceptible then power burners in my experience and I think the main...

NOT ITS NOT UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL or should not be to decide. That’s exactly how trouble happens. Every one of us thinks our kids are superior myself included . That’s why laws are required and should be obeyed and enforced and if no laws apply the greatest degree of caution should be I...

A cheap hard case is not all that expensive and if we all used them buying and selling assuming we do about as much of one as the other it would add little to the shipping costs over all. If you compared the cost of double boxing ( which is the minimum ) to a hard case and one box I’ll bet...

I have legally obtained powder burners suppressors and I can tell the process is expensive, time consuming and of some what questionable value. I have one for rim fire and one for my varmint rifles. I’m some what concerned about using them because they will accumulate lead dust and will need...

I’d be happy with that group out of my varmint powder burners. Of course you did say it was not necessarily typical. Right? 

Only thing I can say is you are a glutton for punishment. Shooting in that weather bad enough but then attempting those distances. But more power to you. The weather will improve and best wishes for small groups. I’m lazy I shoot out to 100 and have more then enough challenges with that 

Let’s face it shooting anything can be frustrating depending on your demands. Most of my deer hunting buddies are happy with two or three shots in two inches at a hundred yards. Not me I expect clover leafs or better. Air rifles are THE MOST challenging of all. Seem to be so sensitive to...

Be none with it and buy an Alkin.
