I just came across this modified RWS 850. It has an HPA conversion done and looks to have a 13ci Aluminium bottle in it. I’ve never seen one with a stock like this one has. Anyone recognize it? I’ve never had an 850 , would a carbon fibre bottle fit ? This might be an option as I plan on...

While I appreciate a compact rifle. There’s just something about this one with the sable tactical bits on it that remind me of the Klingons from Star Trek. Not to my taste but I can see how this would be handy in the field.

HW45 in .22 at about 6 FPE. You’ll want to practice before shooting at a live animal. They are very accurate once you figure out the hold.

Other wise known as the PP700z great little pistol. I bought a few and sold them to friends. Love the 31 grain BBT cast bullets in stock form.

I think I’ve got it narrowed down to two rifles. Neither of which meet my weight requirement. The wolverine R or the RAW HM1000. I’m going to keep my eyes open in the used market up here. I’m not in a huge hurry to pick one up. For now my HW100 will fill the hole as I have a couple cylinders to...

A few years back I was looking for this exact thing. I ended up on the .257 bandwagon. I built a converted disco with a TJ’s 1:14 liner to start but the shot count was low and was single load. I then moved into converting a Winchester 70-35 to the .257 caliber. This was and is much better, after...

I’m liking the suggestions. I hadn’t considered the Wolverine but they do come up for sale the odd time on the used market. Knew they are going for close to 3k . Unfortunately AGT anything is unavailable here north of the border. I’ve already got an HW30 that does pretty much what I’m describing...

I already have an HW100 in this cal that I’ve got tuned to shoot at 16 FPE and it’s perfect for that application. What I’m thinking of is a low powered , 8 fpe ( 8.4 grain at 650fps) with a monster shot count. I’m not an airgun snob , but I refuse to buy a rifle from China and would prefer not...

I’ve had two and still have one. The Evanix air speed and a Leshiy 2. Still have the later and still use it as my primary hunting rig. Fast follow up shots on multiple game birds (partridge) is a must here in the late fall when they get skiddish and tend to fly off when you get within 50 yards...

I would try to find a .20 and return it to factory. No experience with the RX1 or 2 but have had a couple HW90’s in .177. Way over powered for that small a caliber IMO. They are a magnum rifle and would perform at their peak in either .20 or .22 . Out of curiosity, do you know what the rifle...

No knives to post, but do carry a bench made bugout everywhere. The rifle is a shortened barrel (16” ) MK2 Rapid in .25 cal with some serious mods. Shoots 33 grain JSB’s at 880 in this configuration. I can swap out the barrel to the OG barrel in 23” and hit 1000fps without stressing out the...

I made a new valve housing from delrin. I bought a 3/4” x 6” piece from Amazon for less than 30$ CAD ( snow pesos) much more cost efficient than buying it for the 200$ they wanted shipped to canukistan.

I have to ask. What’s the trick to cutting a hardened hammer. I’ve tried a few times but never had any luck. Different tools , carbides , rake angles . None made a difference.

Your barrel seems real tight but can be made to work IMO. 1:16 is the wrong twist rate for light pellets ( under 25 grain) get the heaviest pellets you can find and shoot starting at 700 fps and work your way up in speed until you find something that works. While you have the barrel out. You...

Go with the Ghost. Too many options to list them all , I’d go with the longest barrel available.
