    What rifles have you bought twice?

    Here is the problem when you buy a rifle that shoots great… and offers easy caliber swaps… … then you buy just a barrel & prode in another caliber and try it… and it also shoots great… …then after a short time, no matter how easy the caliber swap, you wind up buying another duplicate rifle, lol.

    Daystate Wolverine R Trigger Adjustment

    Its a beautiful, sunny 30mph wind day here in Connecticut again, so as promised, I tore apart my Wolverine R HP to provide some details on trigger spring optimization - and other tips since I had it apart... Please see photos and read notes. And before anyone says "yeah EPG, you did a BS job...

    Moderator clipping question

    This is an excellent, thought provoking line: “often in engineering and commerce, the pursuit of perfection is the enemy of good.” Thinking out loud on this… If a manufacturer controls the whole “ecosystem” - for example Taipan providing moderators as part of their overall airgun design -...

    What rifles have you bought twice?

    Since I made this post I’ve increased my “doubles” collection: RTI Prophet Performance P1 (have all caliber barrels) FX Crown Mk2 (have all caliber barrels across Dreamline & Crown - they can share barrels) Benjamin Akela .177 FX Dreamline - Classic and Power Pup My Akela .177 is so...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Great card Tommy! That should have been a 197 12X if you had paid attention… No mulligans granted here, lol. Although I did put Greg’s awesome “mulligan” card on the leaderboard as incentive for him to try to beat it this year. I remember one time I jokingly asked this crowd for a mulligan on...

    Daystate Wolverine R Trigger Adjustment

    I know I took pictures, but I'll struggle to find them as they are not in my Wolverine folder. I'll likely take it apart again and take some pictures and measurements - to help out fellow AGN Wolverine owners. I'll try to do early this week. -Ed

    30-Yard Challenge

    100 Yards - in strong wind - with pellets I'm documenting this for my reference - I thought I'd share this with you guys - in case you are interested... I was shooting at 100 yards on Friday at my brother's house. He lives in the middle of the woods and is an avid hunter/fisherman. We mapped...

    Daystate First Daystate ... Wolverine HP R in .22

    Hi ChickenD, I've owned a .22 Wolverine R HP for a few years now, I'll give you my thoughts on the rifle. Mine is the green camo laminate stock - exactly like in this video. My velocities are exactly like in this video. My thoughts: Crazy heavy trigger out of the box - see another thread...

    RTI RTI Prophet Performance 2.1 .177 and .30 to plenum or not?

    Are you shooting pellets or slugs across all 4 calibers? I’ve got two P1s (big difference as P1s have a much heavier hammer - 34g - and lack the balanced valve) and just shoot pellets - I’ve got a four calibers. With pellets, stock plenum size is more than adequate even for .30 caliber. I...

    Daystate Wolverine R Trigger Adjustment

    Yes. Replace the spring you see when you remove the trigger assembly (4 screws) with a light spring from a ballpoint pen. Spring length - the spring just has to stick up a tiny bit above the plate. This is a 5 minute change and reversable. Works fantastic - you will be able to get your...

    RAW Rapid My old RAWs

    Pretty rifles - the wood used on the .30 cal is very unique and cool looking. Pretty wood stocks are nice, I have a few, but for me they are a bit of a stressor - like worrying about door dings on a new car. There are only about two of my pretty stocks left that I have not yet customized with...

    30-Yard Challenge

    That Form stock on your DRS is beautiful Greg! I see that you are going “all-in” to get the DRS shooting .177 pellets at competition level. In theory, the DRS platform should outperform the legacy Dreamline/Crown platforms - especially the improved barrel rigidity. The challenge is getting the...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Perhaps the guys shooting USARB, National Benchrest League N50, Extreme Benchrest/EBR, BR UK, UK Benchrest, etc… all need the larger .224 scoring plug… … cause they’re not as good as our guys shooting our 30 and 40 yard Challenges? 😉 You guys have been submitting some awesome scores...

Leaderboard Submission: 30-Masters: 197 13X Rifle: FX Dreamline Classic .177 (500mm) Pellet: JSB 10.3g @...

    My .22 scoring plug from Freeland’s measures exactly the same as Ricky’s: .2215” - Scoring lip .1970” - Flat part of long flange
