    Alternative for BOG (Caldwell) fieldpod V's?

    I'm not complaining about the degrading plastic, I get that. What I am complaining about is that they don't offer simple (paid for!) replacement parts for an (over) $300 costing tripod. And if this was a Chinese company and if I'd ordered it off of Aliexpress I'd get it, but I hear always...

    Alternative for BOG (Caldwell) fieldpod V's?

    Why plexiglass? I think the general idea is that you want the gun to lay down in a soft (i.e. non scratching) and non slip material.

    Alternative for BOG (Caldwell) fieldpod V's?

    As I wrote in the industry feedback topic, I am not happy about Bog (Caldwell) not offering any replacement parts for their Fieldpod tripods. As my Magnum fieldpod has now hardened and brittle V's (because the plasticiser leaked out of them) it is now useless. Has anybody been in the same...

    BOG (Caldwell) Fieldpod Magnum. BOGged by the company...

    So I've had this Caldwell (nowadays BOG, but I think that's a subsidiary) Fieldpod Magnum tripod for a number of years now. I haven't used it much (if at all...) but recently I thought to let it finally get some use . The V's wherein the gun rests during use were all moist and a little slimy...

    FX FX Wildcat Mk1 problem: leaks air (POP!) during shot at magazine. FIXED!

    Of course you are right, but for now I can live with that, since I have a compressor and a 20 liter big industrial buffertank I'll just fill her up when I want to go shooting...:cool:

    FX FX Wildcat Mk1 problem: leaks air (POP!) during shot at magazine. FIXED!

    Thanks for the answers guys, On the Mk1 the probe is not adjustable. So I pulled the barrel again and this time fully removed the probe seal to see if it was as good as it looked. Turned out there was a lengthwise cut, so after replacement my WC is back up and running! Thank you 6gun !🥰

    FX FX Wildcat Mk1 problem: leaks air (POP!) during shot at magazine. FIXED!

    I replaced all the o-rings early last year and then it was perfect. (The rifle leaked audibly before that and the pressure tube emptied within a few hours) It has been working fine for more than a year now, but lately I noticed that the pressure tube was at 0 after a few days. My Wildcat Mk1...

    Wal-Mart stop carrying Crosman 22 HP pellets??

    The green square background around the ”.22 CAL” on the left side of the carton and the design on the tin give it away: this is the branding of the new Spain supply.

    Spanish vs US made .22 CPHPs

    Here’e my take on them, after doing a quick test at 24 meters. The new ones look a lot cleaner coming out of the box, I always had to wash and lube the old ones to not get your hands all dirty from loading them. The 2 target groups on the left are with the new ones, 2 on the right the old ones...

    Spanish vs US made .22 CPHPs

    Thanks for your elaborate comparison. However the results with the old CPHPs don’t look good by any standard at just 25 yards, so the gun doesn’t like them at all. (The bottomgroup AA’s look fine, so the gun and shooter are capable…) The result of the new CPHPs compared to the old ones is just...
