    What should i look for in a budget scope?

    You should be able to get Vector Optics scopes from one of their international sites. They have really good value across all their scopes. You should be able to find something in your budget. They have sales frequently also.

    👆that one. They also have other scopes that are very affordable. What country are you in?

    Pyramid Air refurbished

    So the issue with accuracy has more to do with the manufacturer than Pyramyd Air? If so, from what I've read on forums that is a pretty common issue particularly with budget PCPs. Not every rifle coming out of the factory is going to be a tac driver, or even assembled correctly in some cases...

    Strange results from cleaning pellets

    So, on ultrasonic cleaners, is there some sort of rating that quantifies the strength of the unit? I am new to PCP and didn't even know cleaning was a thing. Now I need to shop for a cleaner. LOL, as he falls into the never-ending deep well.

    SCAMMER REPORTED TODAY 03.02.25 on Airgun Warriors

    Good to know, I was not aware of this site to check phone numbers. I wonder if AGN could require that the number you register with is not a VOIP number, and any classifieds allow the buyer to use the registered number. Of course, sending money to someone other than the seller to me is a red flag.

    Tuning Umarex Gauntlet Problems .22

    The Gauntlet 2 is my first PCP, I decided to purchase a less expensive one to start with the knowledge that I would be learning/working on it. I am having the same issue with loading pellets being difficult and poor consistency on target. I will give this a try and hopefully solve this. I am...

    Pyramid Air refurbished

    I am pretty mechanically inclined and buy used/refurb items frequently. I don't worry much about warranty, since I can fix/upgrade myself. If you are not the type to work on your stuff, then consider anything you buy a bit of a gamble. If it works and no issues, great you won the lottery...

    Umarex New Umarex PCP owner

    Take a look at Armstrong Enterprises. He has a couple scopes that are inexpensive and have really clear glass. He's a small operation and is involved with the Appleseed program (teaches youngsters how to shoot and history of our nation). I have 1 of each scope mounted to my .22LR rifles. I...

    Air Venturi Looking for a good PCP compressor

    Thanks for the link, I ordered one. I was looking hard at Amazon and it seems there is a lot of junk on there.

    Umarex New Umarex PCP owner

    Hey Bob, I just ordered my first PCP, too. I also looked at the Notos but got a gauntlet 2 in .22 caliber instead. The Notos is a good choice, I would like to hear your thoughts about it after you get a chance to shoot it for a bit. Harry
