Has anyone built an extended handle/lever to assist in using a hand pump? I am 70 and don't know if a pump would be doable for me or not. I am currently very fit, but don't know what 5 years will bring. I envision a lever attached by a hinge to a frame or wall at a little lower than the...

Anyone have any experience with this rifle? Does under lever help enhance accuracy over a break barrel? May be a relatively new rifle as I have not found much for reviews online.

Any update on this issue?

Anyone else have any experience with this scope mount? The theory sounds good as far as absorbing recoil, but moving parts on a scope mount seems counter intuitive to me. Is this a quality product, or a gimmick? It is not cheap, but that does not always mean that the quality is there.

Have not adjusted the trigger yet, but it is on my to do list. Hope to have some good results to report. Also need to do some homework on tuning. 

That's why I only shoot 1 shot "groups" !☺️

Bending the barrel is completely foreign to me! I will need to do some reading on that. I have a chronograph and found a website to calculate fpe, so I can work with that. How do I determine if my rifle has properly sealing internal seals? If it does not, can a novice correct it?

Thanks for the tip. $70 is very reasonable for a scope, especially if it will stand up to some use. I shoot at very short ranges so far, maybe 30 feet. But if If I could get a decent set up, it would be fun to see how far these things will shoot. 3 to 9 is plenty of magnification for my...

I bought an air gun to get rid of the squirrels and chipmunks that are raiding my bird feeders. I did a little research on the model that I chose, but really did not do much homework. I read that the scope that came on my choice was basically trash, so I ordered another scope when I ordered...

I only have experience with one, a whisper raptor, but it was pretty nice right out of the box. Maybe it is an exception?

Thanks for the welcomes and info, I will see if I can find the adjustment screw. 

I'm new to air guns and just got my second, a Winchester 1250ss. I hate the trigger. It is just terrible compared to my Gamo whisper raptor. Will the trigger smooth out and lighten up with use? If not, is there anything I can do to improve it? I have no use for this rifle with the trigger...
