    Looking for advice

    For walking around and shooting things up to squirrel sized I think the suggestions of Maximus and disco are very good suggestions, the Maxi is pretty slim IMHO. Only thing I would offer is also looking at the QB derived guns, Chief is a good one, also low fill, good shot count, and accurate...

    Should I expect better accuracy with a Gamo Hunter 440 ? (2nd. Update 11/30/20)

    The 440 is an old girl, make sure the gun is locking up tight.

    Compressor tips?

    On mine, I think nearing 3 years I would echo what the other poster said, but I do a few other things. My water here is very hard so I use distilled water....not sure if that helps or not. I also run a small fan blowing on the compressor when it is running, this I know helps as the temps do...

    Best PSI for 1 Liter Cola Bottle Targets

    I had the....fortune? to work for a leading candy water company and I can tell you this is a moving target. While all glass sugar water bottles are the same, the plastic bottles that hold the fizzy drinks are different from place to place. There is a federal minimum, but like many things...

    Airgunning gone bad

    Not a bad but a story. I would guess the year to be about 1970 or so, buddy and mine are walking down the sidewalk of a pretty busy street, we both carry an air rifle, me a crosman 766 him a Daisy 880. As we walk down the road a cop car pulls over to the side of the road lights on and stops...

    Beeman Chief

    I have a maximus as well also, mine is the euro version I bought direct from crosman. I would doubt the "american" more powerful version would be different, but I also love that gun as well. It has some things the chief does not have, the sling mounts for one. Perfect for mounting a sling...

    Beeman Chief

    I bought a Chief not long after they first came out. I guess to say how I like it would be to say that currently I have glass costing about $800 on that air rifle that came off my 223 bolt gun. I would also say it is not "super" pellet picky, just about any JSB shoots good through it, as well...

    Why do you buy that new gun

    This is funny I almost started the same kind of topic last week. Personally I don't get the air gun "gotta have the next new thing". I don't think I have to have the next new thing with any new product. Now if you showed me the IH Garand for sale somewhere hang on to my wallet......got that...

    How stupid is this?

    And now another person knows just how the real world works.

    The firing squad.

    And to think I have tossed all those steel cases....if ranges ever open back up I might grab some. I think I might still have some wolf 223, I will need to look. Fantastic story and very well done.....looks like some needed a double tap.

    Rioters using pellet guns...

    Pellet GUNS. I will try not to be political, but it really is.....HOWEVER it does have a great deal to do with what this board is all about, enjoying our expanding "air" propelled projectile thing-a-ma-jigs. If you think that those that want to do away with a "firearm" will not one day see all...

    I'm a first time gun buyer with several questions

    IF your record is really expunged then it will not show up. It is real simple....go in to a law enforcement agency and ask the questions.....they will tell you.....I can say WE will tell you. Again states differ on what can be said, but I think I am safe in saying that you can request you...

    I'm a first time gun buyer with several questions

    Expunged is sealed from law enforcement, so it SHOULD not show up on any type of check. Sealed it is all still there showing that you had a conviction on you, we can't see the specifics without a bunch of hoops being jumped over, expunged is basically a clean slate. I would check, it is pretty...

    Truman Reservoir

    The COE "owns" everything that touches water, it is not like the ozarks, where you can own property on the water. Very rural down there (I am in the KC area) Are you moving or just visiting. Quite a bit of livestock, after you get in good I think you could find people willing to let you thin...

    Small Rodents Air Rifle For Older Folks

    Another vote for the 850, the same can be said for a souped up QB78. Impossible to go wrong with them.
