    N/A HW100 upgrades

    My gun is the HW100S rifle. I got the extended length Rat Works cylinder for mine. The USA spec newer rifles are 50 joules and they don't have the restrictor on the valve. I was getting two magazines full of shots from the factory cylinder, the Rat Works FAC model brought it up to 42. On this...

    What was your first Pellet Rifle?

    Daisy 880 or 881 first, can't remember which one is the correct model. When I was 15 I ordered catalogs from Air Rifle Headquarters and Beemans via gun magazines. I was saving money to buy an airgun but ARH closed. Not long after that I got a Webley Vulcan from Beeman. Shot that one for several...

    Pictures and Stories of our hunts with Springers/Gas-Ram Rifles.

    That is some very beautiful country that you are hunting in, I wouldn't last five minutes there, I'm a flatlander! 🤪 Rough country takes a lot of stamina. When I was younger and in better condition I did hunt quite a bit with springers. I do still have a .177 Beeman R1 but rarely do any...

    Beeman Crow magnum .20 inbound

    Hopefully you will be able to get it back into shape soon. Those are some of the best looking air rifles ever.

    It's not inexpensive but very good wax, Renaissance Wax.

    HW/Weihrauch Weihrauch HW 100kt .22

    AOA hasn't updated the pictures and information on their site to be representative of the current models; if you're wanting the one with stock that you're showing on the UK site that "should" be what is being sold now, but I would definitely call them and make damned certain which ones that they...

    Why buy JSB pellets....

    Shooting to see which performs best trumps names on a label.

    Please Explain

    Goggles4u.com is where I get mine from. My daughter told me about them a few years ago. Saved a whopping load of money. Yearly eye doctor appointment paid for by medical insurance, they give me the prescription and I can buy glasses anywhere. There are several popular places on the 'net to buy...

    Karma EQ .30 cal

    Looking at the specs given at Pyramyd Air, the base tune should give exactly what you're getting with that weight of pellet. 83 ft. pounds sounds impressive to me but I'm not that familiar with .30 calibers. You could up the power if you wanted but you'd get less than two magazines full of shots...

    Quality pellet prices (vs .22LR rimfire)

    If you're buying four tins of pellets at a time you get 25% off at Pyramid Air, while avoiding low grade bulk .22LR and getting something like CCI Minimags or Standard Velocity it costs more like $0.10 to $0.12 per shot. If you shoot better ammo even more. It does cost getting set up at the...

    What did you order / receive airgun related today? Thread

    Put in an order for some of the .217" 20.2 grain NSA slugs to try in my Weihrauch HW100S. I might try the H&N .217 21 grain too. I'm curious to see how they will shoot. Some people have had good results and the ballistics are great so we'll see.

    I got lucky

    I've never been one to buy large numbers; I have an Evanix AR6 Renegade .22 rifle that I bought back in 2009, a Beeman R1 .177 that I have had for many years and the Weihrauch HW100S .22. Those are enough money spent for me!

    I got lucky

    The Daystate is a superb rifle, if you don't wish to wait it certainly isn't a bad choice.
