    How are you liking your Vector scopes,how about Optisan Viper?

    I just got a Veyron 10x44 from AliExpress. I have shot it a little off hand, and out of the window at home, but I haven't had it on a proper bench yet. How is the eye box on them? One of my issues with some scopes is needing my eye to be perfectly centered, or I can't see out of the scope. Oddly...

    Moving to Georgia

    Haha, like stated earlier in this thread, go to Tail of the Dragon, or Hwy 129 near Robbinsville, NC. Starts near Robbinsville, and ends 11 miles later in Tennessee. 318 curves in 11 miles. When you ride it, it's almost comical how curvy it is. Lots of if other great roads (Hwy 28, Cherohala...

    Moving to Georgia

    Some large sections of the BRP in NC are closed still from the hurricane. Hopefully the storm damage will be repaired this year. I haven't spent much time in Augusta, but I ride through it a couple times a year, and occasionally stop and eat. Seems like a nice area with a good vibe, and has...

    Benjamin Fun With A Benjamin Kratos

    I believe the tune kit from AR would shift your "sweet spot" down considerably. It includes a hammer spring, and a valve spring. If you use pellets over 16g, he says to omit the valve spring, which makes it a 10 minute install. 80 shots at 880fps with 14.3 Premiers! Shortening the stock hammer...

    I'm assuming you are going for maximum power, but shortening the hammer spring really wakes these Craftsman Series guns up, as far as consistency, and shot count. AR also has a tune kit which includes a nifty hammer spring adjuster. The choked barrel makes them questionable for slugs, although...

    Rookie Mistakes?

    Believing the inflated fps numbers. Purchasing guns based on these inflated numbers.

    Exactly how many is too many

    It depends on how many scopes you have. 10 scopes, and 11 guns, one has to go. Getting another scope will change this formula, of course.

    N/A Tins with Slip-On Lids

    I'll try some, but I always seem to end up with JSB shooting the best.

    Other New guy looking for recommendations

    I have a Brocock Bantam with a bottle that gets a 3400psi fill. I wouldn't even attempt to fill it with a handpump. It's a good idea to have a hand pump for backup, and they are pretty cheap if you get the generic Chinese pump. I have one of them and a Hill pump, not really much difference. You...

    N/A Tins with Slip-On Lids

    Are they rebranded JSBs? If so, didn't know that. I just bought a bunch of FX pellets which are rebranded JSBs, but still have the crappy slip on lid.

    N/A Tins with Slip-On Lids

    Crosman can sell pellets for $7 with a nice screw on lid. Why do others ( looking at you JSB) have a crappy slip on lid for $20? Yeah, I've picked up 2 spilled full tins recently.

    Other New guy looking for recommendations

    Yes, that is an awesome choice. I'm not sure on the noise level, but checks all the other boxes. May be quiet too, I just don't know. I would get a .22 unless you really need the extra power. I guess it depends on what "medium" size game is
