You can get RWS 34 close to or under $200 at Ebay and Gunbroker at times. (https://www.gunbroker.com/All/search/completed?Keywords=RWS 34&Timeframe=1&Sort=1&PageSize=48). Those cheap ones on Gunbroker were 177. Thinking it would be higher price for a 22 cal. I would give Mike Melick at Flying...

No luck with the RWS Hobby, fits loose and gives velocity of 300 fps a little bit less that the H&N light match. (320 fps). With the pellets, I have to careful after I load the barrel as the pellet will drop out. One time I missed it and I dry fired. Is there anyway to flair out the pellet...

Picture fooled my sister. However, when I told her the truth, she now thinks you look more like my younger brother. Bad news, your character will suffer being linked to my disfunctional family. :D

Love this. Too Funny. You almost look like my twin. I have sent this picture to my kids and siblings saying it is me. I am thinking most will be fooled. However you need eventually get out of bed and interact with your new airgun. I suggest some pumps, dress, handbag and big hat and taker her...

Looks like Gamo Platinum PTA at 5.1 grams if you consider lead free options. RWS Hobbies for lead as recommended prior by Shuggoth. https://www.pyramydair.com/ammo/air-gun-ammo/pellets?Caliber=0.177&AmmoType=Lead-free+pellets

Shot 400 fps with Crossman Fast Flight but may minute of a hippo at 10 yards.

There was a C1 for sale on Airgun Classifieds which I thought was bargain. Scam Buster caught it. Almost gave an offer but maybe I would have caught the scam in the buying process.

Like both these companies. AOA has a clear website that you can find your shipping price without putting in all the information for a total price. Puzzled why shipping price was twice PA. PA shipped my order basically 3 hours after I placed it plus their total price was the cheapest (some...

Thank you. I bought the RWS Hobby 7.0 grain and the RWS Hypermax 5.2 grain from PA to try. I also had those Crossman Fast Flight 5.4 grain pellets to try. In a year of 2, I will send the pistol in for a reseal and a new spring. Really fun to shoot.

Just got a Beeman Webley Tempest 177 cal (aluminum frame but made in England). Shooting at 300fps with 4.52 H&N Trophy (8.64) and 346 fps with H&N Match Light (7.5). Thing is the 4.50 mm pellets are very loose in the breach and often fall out when cocking the return stroke. Even the 4.52...

I respectively disagree due to the risk ($350) I am taking and the Seller should know that (just like anybody asking someone to take great risk dealing with them). Involving the seller in all digging efforts I think reduces its effectiveness. All I get from the ad is a first name and email...

Just bought a gun on the Airgun Classifieds. Seller seemed legit and answered a difficult to know question correctly on the gun. However due to the amount of money involved, I paid an intro month subscription to PeopleLooker which was less than $10 but $24/month after that. I entered the...

My mom is 94 in memory care. When you think of the agony and patience to raise 7 boy and a girl, Mothers are something special. Love her despite having to answer the same questions repeatedly during a visit. But like a very old man using a walker told me, your time is coming.

Was wondering if there is database for say 177 and 22 calibers of ballistic coefficients. If so, please point me in the right direction. If not, would this be a worthwhile undertaking for this forum. At least to select these 2 calibers to start out. I am talking about pellets like Crossman...

I have decided to compete with my FWB 124D and maybe one time with my RWS 350 rather than buying a RWS 57, HW 97, HW 98 or TX 2000. At least I can blame my poor score on the gun. Be fun to compare how I improve (big if) thru the years.
