    Optics Hawke Sidewinder ED 10-50X60 Model #17370 - SPF

    Up for sale is my Hawke Sidewinder ED 10-50X60 model # 17370. I purchased this scope in 2019 for field target practice with an AA EV2. Unfortunately, I just didn’t find time to use it much, so it has spent too much time in the safe. I believe this model had a MSRP of around $1,000, but was...

    New bisley pad installed

    Nice and relatively inexpensive adjustable pads. I have two Daisy Avanti 753s with Bisleys on them. It was a good amount of work contouring the base plate, but i have been very happy with them. I'll see if I can get a picture up tomorrow.

    New Crossman 2240 XL

    Enjoy and have fun with it. By the looks of the group, no real need to wander too far down that rabbit hole.

    does changing the magnification move the point of impact ?

    By the way the original post was written, I suspect that the change in range would be the primary factor changing the point of impact relative to your point of aim. Maybe another way to say what JimNM correctly pointed out would be that dialing the magnification might shift your point of aim...

    1932 Daisy 25 backporch plinking

    My father in law had two mod 25s in his garage. The sides of the receiver on one were blued and engraved. The other one was black and painted on the sides like the picture in the previous post. Finding them gave me something to do on visits. It was definitely fun plinking away and watching...

    jubilee valve burst disk?

    There's a bolt the back of my vale that has a small hole through the head on two of the opposing faces of the hex head. The disc would be behind that bolt. I'm not sure about replacemnt however. The place where you get the bottle filled should be able to help with a disc.

    Am I alone in Not liking a Pellet gun or

    If you flip it araound and say the word "weapon" to someone, an air gun wouldn't even register on the list on things people think of. Think of the response you'd get on Family Feud. Name a weapon... Air Gun! Additionally, air guns would rarely if ever be used in any sort of serious offensive...

    Friendly little competition this morning

    Way to start the day and nice work at 50yds. I would have been shocked if the results were any different.

    TAIPAN Vet get the Full "Hunter" Field Target set up.

    Amazing setup. Somtimes it's someone customizing what they have to fit a new purpose. Sometimes it's someone looking to do something in a new way. And sometimes it's someone doing it just to prove they can. Amazing work!

    This one goes out to all my Ex’s in Texas

    All in good fun. You all may be rivals, but I'm pretty sure that neither OK nor TX are actually the enemy these days. May I suggest a large Participation Trophy shaped target that plays a loop of Stuart Smalley recordings.

    Good source for used field target rifle?

    In my experience, a local club is your best bet to try it and ask for advice on entry level equipment. Other FT shooters tend to be very eager to promote the sport and will often let you give it a try. In my area, the club option seems to be pretty limited as my local shooting club has just...
