    owners of compressors, one year later.

    I have a Yong Heng for a little over two years and all is well but I only fill the gun, no tanks. I can't say I would recommend it for long fill times but mine never gets over 40 centigrade so it is not really getting tested. 20 to 25 seconds and open the bleed valves and shut down. Also my gun...

    50-75 Yard Squirrel Rifle

    My opinion is use a rimfire 22 whenever possible if you are interested in shooting far. That means no houses nearby. That is not easy to find near me anymore so the Mrod is the tool of choice with a 35 yard maximum. My breakbarrel is limited to a 25 yard maximum. My maximum for my rimfire is 55...

    What is a Good sound dampener for plastic stocks?

    I stuffed my Gamo with plastic grocery bags. For what it is worth an empty 40 lb. bird seed bag stuffed tightly with plastic grocery bags makes a very light weight and waterproof pellet stop.

    Clearidge Ultra RM 3-9x32 vs Leupold VX Freedom 3-9x33

    I do not have a Clearidge but I have the new Freedom with adj A/O and the VX-2 with adj A/O and can tell you except for the glass the new Freedom falls short of the VX-2.

    My First Pesting Opportunity. Advice Needed

    The sets are about $10 when on sale. There are two parts, a motion sensor which is placed near the target area and the receiver which has a high and low switch which I keep near me while watching TV or if I go to bed. I have trail cams on the patio but the coons don't visit on a set schedule so...

    Benji Marauder

    I do not want to be disrespectful or anything but with my Mrod tuned to shoot from 1700 to 2300 psi at 820 to 840 fps with JSB 14.5 pellets mine will shoot one ragged hole at thirty yards with a crosman barrel.

    Benji Marauder Mods

    If it ain't broke don't fix it. Since you asked I will tell you what I did to mine after accuracy started to fall off. I put blue loctite on the threads of the striker after I found exactly where I wanted to set it. They have a tendency to rotate after use. I also loosened my shroud just...

    My First Pesting Opportunity. Advice Needed

    Get some motion sensors from Harbor freight. I bought three and all three are different codes so one sensor doesn't activate more than one receiver. When I am having problems with raccoons visiting our patio and causing havoc I simple set one out there on a cat litter can facing the sky. I put...

    Where to buy Yong Heng?

    Contact several sellers on Ebay and ask if the units are genuine yong heng. Some will not respond so you know those are not or the seller isn't serious about communication. Buy one with two bleed valves and NO automatic shutoff because it costs more money and as per the manufacturer you are...

    Soft padded gun case

    I just got one from Optics Planet for $30. As Parrotculler said take measurements and order one at least 2" longer than gun. Mine is actually a tactical soft case and has pockets to store pellets and magazines.

    Safety PCP versus .22LR subsonic

    I recommend that a question you have like this be researched on a ballistic calculator. I switched from rimfire because I was passing up shots at squirrels in trees because there were some houses a quarter mile away in almost every direction. I now shoot a 14.3 gr pellet at 840 fps and know that...

    Does anyone remember shooting out the star at county fair with machine BB gun?

    Yep, York Interstate fair in the mid 60's. Just not enough BB's to do the job for me.😂

    Anti-NRA commercial on FOX

    I dropped out of the NRA several years ago. Crucify me if you must but there are 120 million gun owners in this country and 5 million NRA members. It is time to start asking why so many people who love this sport will no longer support the NRA. I joined in 1972 when the organization supported...

    First PCP, how important is regulated, Marauder vs? Something less expensive?

    I bought a Marauder directly from Crosman and with the AGNATION code you get a 25% discount which brings it down to $405. I put a 3-9X50mm A/O scope on it for $105 and bought a Yong Heng for $231 on Ebay. Crosman service is excellent and parts are available. Made in the USA. And yes, dime size...

    Check my new Leupold VX EFR Freedom 3-9X33 scope

    I guess I am too picky. I bought a VX-2 with AO and expected the Freedom to be the same quality. While the glass is as good that is where it stops. Mushy clicks are bad enough but you will find there is actually 1 click of slack when you reverse direction. If you look at the marks in the turret...
