Yo! You are a cornucopia of wisdom and great tips! Hat tipped your way...

That compressor sounds like the African Queen.

Thanks for all the replies. On balance, I've decided to keep the Athlon Talos. The only downside to the Talos is the cluttered reticle but I think I can learn to live with that. During my search I did find my pretty much perfect scope though. A little more power than I needed but it was a...

I had a Vortex Crossfire II 4-14 BDC with the adjustable objective on my Srod .177. It performed well, nice and clear but the adjustable objective was very cumbersome. The turret adjustments are really mushy but that is not much of a problem because once zeroed, I just use the holdover marks...

A yellow tank is usually acetylene.

Daisy Mod 25 pump action. All the kids.I.ran around with (late 50's) had one. If.someone showed up to shoot without Mod 25, they soon wanted one after they saw ours in action. BB's were sold in little cellophane bags. Dont remember how much a bag cost or how many BB's were in the bag but...

I have a Leica and it works great! A problem I've noticed with cheaper range finders is that the don't range well on dark, non-reflective targets. I shoot 3-D archery and my Leica always gives me a reading while other shooters will have trouble with the darker targets. Of course, a new Leica...

I was looking for it as well but as a Newb, I figured I just didn't know where to look!

Aimright, thanks for the link. This Marauder is very new to me and I'm deep into trying to find out what makes it tick. I've done extensive long range center fire shooting and I'm familiar with the effects of canting a rifle. I'm not going to say that I'm not canting the rifle because I don't...

To take the parallax issue out of the equation, try this. Back your eye away from the ocular lens until you see a black ring around the outside of the scope image. It doesn't take much but you have to see the black ring. Now, move your head around until that black ring is the same width all...

Yesterday's target. All shots at 50yds. #0...There's 20 shots of 8gr Polymag in there but they formed two groups. Pressure was 2850 when I started and the first 5 went into the small group, then the group shifted for the next 15. Dunno what's up with that. Next up was AirArms 10.3's, group...

That's how I became suspicious of my chrony to start with. I do a lot of shooting out to 1,000yds and the trajectories I was getting on paper didn't match up with what I should have been getting with my chrony readings. It seemed like it was reading about 10% higher than it should of. I've...

Anyone have an idea what the typical velocity is from the factory for a .177 Marauder rifle? With the 8gr Polymags @2850 psi my Chrony is showing 1045fps. With 10.3's @2500psi it's showing 950fps. My chronograph is a bit suspect. It's working perfectly as it has for the last 22 years but...

Good on you! My order is supposed to be delivered today and if that happens it will be 12 days from order to delivery.

Ordered four tins of pellets on 4/13. Got an email yesterday that they were shipped and they're supposed to be delivered today, Saturday April 25th.
