    Other Why so many .25 cal. for sale?

    .22 is the most common caliber for PCP's because of the cost of ammo and the weight diversity available. .22 goes from 11 grain all the way to at least 40 grain slugs. .22 is still 500 count verses .25 350 or .30 150 counts. .22 can be enough to buck backyard wind over .177 when plinking...

    new guy here and have a question

    Caveat Emptor. Cross that vendor off your list. Sounds like he might have sent you a lemon. Contact the scope company and get an RMA for a replacement. Glad you gave him a Sidewinder. Awesome scopes. I am a Hawke scope fan. I have had a few issues with Hawke scopes in the past. Always...

    Ruger Recoil in a spring piston break barrel

    This small business makes some great cleaning kits. I like the felt buttons for a good cleaning. https://patchworm.com/

    Ruger Recoil in a spring piston break barrel

    Have you cleaned your barrel? Easy to do. Great results. Have you tried the JSB 10.3 or H&N 10.65's? They are great pellets if your rifle likes them. The 10.3's seem to have the edge in most of my .177's. Awesome pellet. I suggest trying that one first.

    Rare Air by the pair

    Being left handed has saved me thousands of dollars. 😀 All those bad ass rifles do not fit me. If I was right handed there would be no room in my basement or spare bedroom. The world would be my oyster. 🍺

    I’ve GOT A SCREW LOOSE

    Dennis, I am pretty confident that everyone on these forums have at least one loose screw. I have been using blue loctite and it works OK. I like to let it harden over night. Like @Bear-of-Grayling said, a little goes a long way. @KWK Vibra tite looks good enough I ordered a small tube to...

    New owner of brk bantam sniper xr 25 cal

    @fishing43 - That is a very generous gift! Brocock makes some great rifles. I am sure he is going to have some good times with it. I have had my Brocock Ghost for almost a year now, trouble free. The only thing I have changed on mine is the grip. Simple and easy upgrade...

    My Next Airgun

    I am gonna say that was a powder burner. Do they classify cannons as weapons of mass destruction? People make the silliest videos.
