A little update. I found parts at Custom Air Seals in Australia. They shipped relatively quickly considering I live on the opposite side of the earth. Within 2 weeks I had my spring, piston seal and breech seal. I took the gun apart and found my piston had a chunk missing, and the spring was...

I’ve had my X in .25 for a couple of months now and a little over 1000 pellets. This thing is amazing. I topped mine with the Element Helix 6-24 x 50 FFP. I’m getting dime groups at 50 yds with JSB 33.95gr, and Air Arms 25.4gr. I’m still waiting for my UIT to Picatinny adapter, so I’m shooting...

I love mine. I have more expensive, regulated, and higher quality guns, but the Reign is a fun, lightweight and accurate hunter or back yard plinker. It’s rugged enough to take through thick underbrush without fear of scratching or dinging, and between 130-200 bar I get about 40 shots that are...

Thanks Enkey, Unfortunately they seem to be out of stock on most of the parts I need, and don’t have o-rings listed at all. I guess I’ll keep the old gal retired until I find what’s needed. Or hang it up as a display in my man cave. It was my first serious air rifle and took out hundreds of...

Howdy from East Texas. I have an old Gamo Hunter 880 that’s way, way overdue for a rebuild. Problem is, I’m having a hard time finding parts to make it happen. I called Gamo USA, and of course, they don’t support that gun any more. If I’m not mistaken, it has a 25mm piston, but I have no clue...

Bad timing for me. I’ve been hemhawing around about getting a Huntsman Revere in .177 for backyard plinking and starling pesting. Turns out I beat around the bush too long. Not sure what to buy now. 

After 2 weeks and almost a thousand pellets, I really am enjoying the X. I mounted the Element Helix 6-24 x 50 FFP. It pretty much stacks pellets at 50 yds, which is as far as I’ve shot it so far. The gun is fairly light and has a great trigger for a bullpup. Mine came out of the box breaking at...

Maybe some ratting/pesting, or just enjoy the hobby. I work for a defense contractor, and when I broach the subject at work I get the old “I can’t believe you spend 1500 on a pellet gun. You could buy a helluva nice real gun for that kinda money”. Or “I quit shooting pellet guns when I turned...

Looking for people to shoot with in East Texas. I’m in Mineola, and it feels like I’m the only air gun shooter in the world. 

$981.04

I second the Walther Reign suggestion. Mine easily shoots sub half inch groups at 50 yds with H&N 14.66g. I’ve even got similar results with Crosman 14.3 cheapie pellets. It’s relatively lightweight, and has a decent trigger for a $600 gun. My only complaint is that it certainly isn’t a pretty...

Due to the price and shortage of powder gun ammo I’ve rediscovered air rifle shooting and replaced my old Gamo 880S with a Walther Reign in .22. I’ve shot almost 5 tins of 500 pellets so far. COVID hasn’t kept me from working, so most of my back yard shooting is done on my days off. Airgunning...
