    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.

    I got lucky

    Keeping with the Weihrauch brand, the HW100 pcp is a superb rifle that needs no tinkering, they are excellent as they come. Walnut stock, 14 shot rotary magazines, solid steel barrels mounted to a heavy thick receiver for zero flexing, a very quiet moderator and accurate too. They aren't...

    .25 caliber at 32 FPE not enough?

    If you hunt long enough you'll have shots like that happen regardless of what you're shooting. Even with .22 LR hollowpoints at over a hundred foot pounds of energy. Chalk it up to bad luck.

    Classic or Tactical? Which do you prefer and why?

    Classic for me.

    Crazy idea? Pellet samples from multiple brands and grain sizes?

    Just a bit of history, years ago you could get pellet samples from a place called Great Lakes Airguns. They also sold the Air Arms sidelever rifles. I miss places like that.

    Late season single

    Good shooting; Alabama season ended first weekend of March so waiting until Fall. This last season was terrible, very few squirrels around. Spring drought ruined the nut crops around here.

    Air Arms would like to know - Do you remember your first air rifle?

    A Daisy Buck 105 BB gun I believe was the model. Hollow plastic stock lever action. Second was a Daisy 880, third was a Beeman Webley Vulcan.
