    Testing my Veteran Long .22

    Regardless of what others think of your results, I give you credit for posting legitimate pictures of multiple groups under realistic conditions. If more people posted actual results instead of a single miracle group some of these discussions would be a lot more valid. Your guns a...

    Is the (Neilsen) slug going to be the new (JSB) diabolo?

    I agree that shooting slugs blurs the lines between airguns and powder burners. However, a typical .22 LR round, never considered a ballistic marvel, will beat any .22 or .25 airgun slug out there by a mile. And you don't need to spend $3000 for a rig to shoot it well. If I need those kind of...

    RAW REPORT

    All this talk of scopes has me wondering, what magnification do folks use for 75-100 yard benchrest competition? Is 6-24x enough? I'm considering a new scope for my .30 and it will be used exclusively for target shooting so I want to get the right thing.

    Missing Tuner and My Missing Airgun (HELP)

    Wanted to post a quick update because some people on this board were helping me out... To make a long story short, I finally got in touch with Mark a few days ago, the work is complete, and my airgun is returned (although I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.) Fortunately, Mark was in fact...

    Missing Tuner and My Missing Airgun (HELP)

    AGN Folks, I am asking for your help. About 6-7 weeks ago I sent my RAW .30 to Mark Buchanan (who formerly worked with RAW) in Mesa, Arizona, to be tuned. (I got his name and made contact through the AGN forum.) At this point I have not received my gun back. While the unexpected delay is...

    Feedback Mark Buchanan--not so good (so far)? HELP

    Does anyone have any information on Mark's recent whereabouts? About a month and a half ago I sent him a .30 RAW HMX to be tuned, with an expected turn around time of a few weeks. Not only have I not received my gun back, but Mark has lately proven to be impossible to contact. He does not...

    Raw or Crown.. I'm not sure which to go for

    I own a RAW .30 and as others have said it is incredibly accurate, easily a match for any other airgun out there. MOA is fairly routine, and sub-MOA a real possibility if conditions are good. That said, RAW guns are BIG! And HEAVY! It would not be my choice for a field gun, plinking, etc...

    My RAW 25Cal HM1000X Sporter Update

    Great groups. I have a RAW .30 and learned quickly that I was cleaning too often. The gun does shoot well "dirty." I haven't figured out yet at what point I really need to clean it.

    50 yards?

    Thought 1. On forums, Facebook, etc., you will hear lots of people claim their gun shoots an "inch or less" at 100 yards, or "dime size groups at 50"...usually that means they got lucky once or twice. There are lots of great Internet shooters out there with great Internet guns. Don't be taken...
