    Athlon Midas TAC gen 2 - Wow!

    I really think the BTR Gen II 2.5-15-50 scopes are excellent quality, especially for the price. I bought ETR 3-18-50 scopes to replace my 2 BTR's because they went on a good sale. When comparing the 2 series, the build quality was about the same (excellent!). However, there was a noticeable...

    JTS 18gr vs JSB 20.83gr KO slugs

    I snuck in a quick shooting session at 20 yards tonight. The pellets group at about 1/8" at this distance, so I will definitely give them a shot at 50 yards. I haven't chrony'ed them yet, but MRDL's shoot right at 885fps, so I'm thinking these will shoot around 835fps. I'll report back after...

    Pellet order is driving me mad......

    Trenier is BY FAR my favorite place to purchase pellets from. He packs them better than anyone else and ships super fast.

    Poor Slug Packing at Utah Airguns

    I ordered a couple tins of slugs from Utah Air to try. After the typical few days, they sent out the pellets tightly wrapped in a few layers of bubble wrap. The issue is that the tins were wrapped side by side, and then placed in a bigger box with no padding, so the pellets were left to smack...

    RAW Rapid My old RAWs

    Man, I feel for you OP. These were some beautiful rigs. I've had to sell a couple that I deeply regret, so I feel your pain! Nice wood stocks can be especially hard to let go just because of their unique character. Both of my RAWs are currently in chassis stocks, but I still have 3 wood...

    How Good is Athlon's Warranty?

    No need to worry, their warranty service is EXCEPTIONAL!!! I've had to send 2 scopes back to Athlon for warranty service. An Ares BTR Gen 1 went back for POI shifts, and an Ares BTR Gen 2 went back for a turret that stopped clicking correctly. (Both scopes also bought from Camera Land.)...

    RAW Rapid TM1000X Benchrest .22 with Benchmark Barrel

    Major congrats on that rifle barrel combo! And great shooting! What speed are you shooting the 18.1gr? Also, how many lands/grooves are in the BM barrel? ...and VERY SMART adding a decal on that window 😁

    N/A EVOL vs Epic two

    Sweet! Where can you get that barrel? Edgun West doesn't list it as an option with the gun or separately. If this was listed when their huge sale was going on a Christmas, I totally would have picked one up.
