Scheduled to arrive tomorrow!

I've got a Marauder Regulated Lothar on the way. My first "real" / "grown-up" air rifle. I have never heard of the "SAM" model. Got a link? ETA: I just figured out "SAM." Semi-auto. I should hopefully have "first shots" next weekend and will report back!

Finally got shipping confirmation from PA. It was strange... I got a shipping notice from UPS for a 0.10-lb package that is on its way, even though no such notice from PA. Then today, I just got confirmation from PA for that package AND two more packages (about 20-lbs each). So, three...

Yes... UPS has an estimated delivery date and time (on this coming Wednesday). Is there a chance PA would send a partial order? I've sent an email to PA to see if I can get clarification.

That is true! Yesterday I was shooting rifle ammo that was $1.60 / round (Hornady ELD-M 6.5 Creedmoor). I have spent a LOT of money on traditional (PB) ammo over the years. ☺️ Last year, I fired 3,600 rounds of various calibers, mostly 9-mm. That was a slow year. In 2023, I fired 7,600...

Reminds me of the joke (not-a-joke): I hope that when I die, my wife doesn't sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them!

Many, myself included, do that with precision rifle shooting (centerfire). I did it today at the range with my Ruger Precision Rifle 6.5 Creedmoor. Like this: The advantage of it is that you're less likely to "milk" or "GI Joe Kung-Fu grip" and moving the gun when you press the trigger...

Very nice! What app are you using? Is it connected to a chrono?

Yep... admittedly, I was guessing. And I realized that the photo may not really reveal the alignment. Could be an "optical illusion." Plus, if it WAS correct, you'd be shooting high, not low. Soooooooo.... Let us know what you find out!

It would be the same frequency at the same places. I miiiiiiight be able to shoot the air rifle on my property (only 1 acre) without too much trouble. https://sgammo.com/catalog/rimfire-ammo-sale/22-lr-ammo/ I never implied I was "really in" the rimfire game. ;) Just regular normal...

I'm new to air gunning (not counting kid stuff) and anxiously awaiting the arrival of my big Pyramyd Air order. I've been a long-time firearms enthusiast with a pretty decent collection. Not a complaint but a bit surprised that quality .22 pellets cost the same as .22LR ammunition. Let's say...

I'm an air gun noob. But not a pistol or optic noob. I don't know this gun. And everything's black and lots of shadows. So, I can't tell how it's mounted. But my eyes see a difference in the plane of the base of the optic and the barrel axis. It may be optical illusion due to the all-black...

Yeah... and like I needed another rabbit hole in my hobby. I've got a pretty decent firearms collection. Pistols, rifles, shotguns. I've gone down the long distance precision rifle rabbit hole, too. During the covid hysteria, I went down the P80 pistol building rabbit hole. And now this...

Are you including a compressor with that $3-4k estimate? I just ordered everything I need (<---link to thread) for a tick over $2k. That included a fill tank (instead of a compressor). Still not cheap, to be sure! But not $4k, either. :) But if this air rifle thing turns into a "thing" for me...

Woohooo! Goodies are on the way! ETA: Scratch that. Based on the weight of the package (0.10-lbs), it must be just one small part of my order.
