In Europe and Africa they'd be called locusts because of the periodic swarming behaviour.

That's a nice design. I suppose if you're not on flat ground you'd have to be careful setting up the tripod, so you are close to flat. But having the limited range of motion on the head is probably a good thing for most users.

I use monopods, bipods and tripods. And I rest the gun against anything else I can, like trees, if available. Bipods are about the most I'll casually pack around. Usually it's just the gun. Tripods are only for intentional big hunting trips, or range days.

Sure, but even then, you can buy them (lawfully) in Canada. So the export restrictions have loopholes. Not certain if it's just for NORAD countries or NATO countries. But there's some kind of loophole there. I've seen ATN and Sightmark scopes being used in Ukraine, too. I imagine that might...

Do companies like ATN and Sightmark not export to Norway? I know there's some export restrictions on them. I know of some people who have exported such products to Ukraine. I would have imagined the export restrictions have been made a bit slack due to the war.

I have one proper PCP (Edgun Leshiy 2) and three Crosman 1322's. I generally keep the Leshiy ready to go, so it gets used the most often. I'll probably get rid of most of the Crosmans, just haven't got around to selling them. I pretty much only pest with my airguns. I prefer the Leshiy...

I think the idea is it's better to have the wheel fail than the arm. That's likely why they make the wheel out of a relatively soft material.

While this looks like a lovely technical development, I'm concerned there may not be much market for this. If you want to shoot a projectile fast, why not just get a powderburner? For me, the primary purpose of an airgun is I can tune it to shoot at low and moderate speeds. I suppose in the...

When you say you want it to be digital, does that mean you want the image to be from an liquid crystal display, i.e. a tiny monitor? There's an increasing number of hybrid scopes out there, where you view an optical image and various digital bits are added. For example optical scopes that...

My wife has never been camping in her life, and she does not come across as the kind of person that could handle it. So I haven't been camping in over 10 years. I used to just sleep on top of my motorcycle out in the middle of nowhere. I don't think I've ever taken a gun camping. . ...

Currently I have 4 airguns and 5 powderburners. But 3 of those 4 airguns are Crosman 1322's. Airguns get used far more often. Two of my powderburners have never been sighted-in!

If that's the case, then another solution would be to adjust your regulator setting, as from what you said earlier you got less clipping when shooting out the barrel, i.e. no magazine. So the small amount of fps loss from shooting out the magazine puts you on the threshold of clipping.

Did you remove the magazine and slide the barrel back to make direct contact with the transfer port sleeve?

Little lizard? We're starting to get new lizards in southern Canada now. But nothing like that yet.

If you are still waiting on that replacement bearing, the part you damaged, that could easily explain the irregularities in your shooting -- random amounts of side-pressure on your magazine.
