I've decided not to pursue the purchase of another rifle for target shooting at 100 yards. I've had another commitment for my funds, so I will have to do what several have suggested, and work with my Gauntlet .25 rifle. From what I can determine, some have had fair success with the stock...

As soon as I finish laying my new driveway, I will be taking time off from home renovation to go shooting. Yes, I will take my Gauntlet, and set out two targets. The first at 50 yards and the second out at 100 yards. Once I get the 50 yard zeroed in, I will move out to the 100, and...

jiikuu, Yes, that's a very nice weapon. Unfortunately the price is way over my budget. I guess some people think $1000 is cheap. I'm looking for something between $500 and $750. I'm not wanting the kill anything, just target shoot at 100 yards. Not sure my Gauntlet can shoot 100 yards. I...

dizzums, Not wanting a powder burner. I'm happy with air rifles. The rifle range has a cart for those shooting at the 200, 250 and 300 yard targets. I doubt I will ever shoot at the 200, as I can't even see them without optical aid.. But I am not like most 70+ year old. I still can motor...

I've been shooting my rifles anywhere from 15 yards, out to 50 yards. I use my DAISY AVANTI .177 for the 15 yard range, and generally hit the black of the 10 meter target size every time. I'm not that good. I get most of my groups to about 1/2 to 3/4 inch. I use my Hammerli 850 Air Magnum...

Mike, You didn't hijack a thread. I've always considered my threads as my way of learning. And I hope that what people passed on to me to help, also helps others. Yes, I really like the Nissan truck. She's a good steed. To get her, I had to sell my early American coppers collection. I...

The Gauntlet is a great rifle for the price. I started out with .177 caliber, but discovered it is really only good out to 25 yards. You can stretch that to 50 yards, some people told me, but I never was able to hit the target at that range with this small pellet I have the .25 cal Gauntlet...

It's been quite a long time since I ;posted anything. I finally was able to replace my Honda CRV that was totaled by an inattentive driver. My new vehicle is a Nissan Frontier SV 4X4, and so far I just love it. It is more practical than the CRV, and still can hold four people. On to my...

Sorry I am posting rather late to this thread. I just purchase a Yong Heng, which was all I could afford. I also purchase and Airmega filter that consisted of a cotton tube and molecular sieve beads. I felt that the little cotton tube filter that came with the Yong Heng was inadequate to trap...

The Daisy Avanti 753 instructions say to clean the bore after every 50 shots. They also say that once the chamber oil clears out enough, then cleaning may not be needed so frequently. The chamber oil is required at about 1000 shots. It has a patch that you saturate. My other rifles don't...

I just stumbled over this while trying to find something interesting on YouTube to watch. This video makes a case for those who say they don't clean their rifle bores very often. In this video, the instructor says to clean the bore only when accuracy falls off. Note the comments about pellet...

HeyU, Ah Ha! Clean the pellets. Didn't know that. I will try doing that with a my next tin of pellets that I purchase. Maybe that's why some of you claim to be able to shoot 1000 or more pellets without the bore getting dirty. Just to let you know, I live in the high desert of southern...

srtmat, I just looked at the bore snake you referenced. Nice. Unfortunately the kit is for everything except the caliber I need, which is .177. I will have to stay with the cleaning rod.
