    Petition to Allow Laser Range Finders in Field Target Competitions

    I always thought the whole point of field target is to have practiced shooting enough to be able to judge distances w/o rangefinder or be able to use your scope to judge range. Everyone wants everything to be easy anymore, everyone should get participation awards to for just showing up. If you...

    Finally

    I dont know when 90 degree heat became good, I shoot less when its that hot. I prefer 50-70 deg, no wind and even a bit cloudy. I cant stand the heat anymore, mowed one day 10 yrs ago for 12hrs in 88 deg heat and got really sick from it broke out in a whole body rash, massive headache etc...

    Oh USPS, let me count the ways I detest you

    Have had the same thing happen with Fed Ex and worse they truly suck. USPS has actually been getting better(RELATIVELY) for me at least. UPS is the only one that is consistently on time and usually not tore all to he!!.

    Anyone have a Air Arms S510 XS Tactical pcp?

    Both of mine .177 and a .25 get 40-45 shots, a good 40 for sure. For me that's plenty for hunting or a shooting session. I also prefer the walnut stocks but if its a 510xs in any form it will be accurate so enjoy.

    UTG 3-12X44 compact scope... pretty impressive

    Ive got 2 UTG true hunter platform scopes that Ive had for 12 or 13 yrs, been on some heavy hitting magnum springers, RWS 48 and 54 plus Hatsan 135 and neither has ever skipped a beat. One scope the front lens came loose so I just put a drop of super glue on edge of lens and its been fine...

    Comparison: 3-18x50 FFP: Athlon ETR —vs.— Bushnell Match Pro ED

    I sent a brand new scope back to Bushnell that wouldnt hold zero, they sent me back a used scope with pretty deep ring compression dents in it and scuffed up caps. I didnt even bother saying anything that told me all I needed to know about their warranty. I still like Bushnell scopes but know...

    N/A springer grease ?

    I like Vorteks grease that comes with their kits, believe you can get it w/o the kit separately.

    Crossman 760, so disappointing.

    Find a Sheridan or Benjamin 347, no comparison to a Crosman 760

    You Get What You Pay For!

    Personally I like the .44 Mag scope with target turrets, perfect for hunting not paper punching. I can dial with it and it returns to zero every time. Have owned at least 4 of them and 3 of them were on magnum springers with zero issues. Not the Chinese ones made in Philippines.

    N/A Any further info on the "EXPLODING PCP???" thread from a few days ago?

    Not curious at all no pics and as said it was a friend of a friend of a friends gun so more then likely just trying to start controversy. If had really been true can believe OP would of had pics.

    HW/Weihrauch HW 50s: .177 vs .22

    According to google Learn more No, the Weirauch HW50 .177 and .22 calibers do not use the same spring and piston. The .177 caliber will typically use a spring with a smaller wire diameter than the .22 caliber, according to Pyramyd AIR. This difference in spring size is necessary because...
