    Straight Shooters retirement

    They were one of the best, customer caring, old-school airgun businesses period. I purchased one of my pre- Daystate Brococks from them. They let me swap out the action for one with better bluing, no questions or hassles. This marks an end of an era in our community. top

    FX - Disappointment

    Not cool of the seller, not cool at all.

    FX - Disappointment

    Wood. Laminates are just fancy talk to sell the public a piece plywood in the form of a stock. I’m a woodworker, and the plywood I use is usually hidden, even the cabinet grade and furniture grade stuff. Funny how imperfections in plywood is not desirable, but in solid wood it’s all the rage...

    Are We asking Too Much?

    I read VetMX’s comments along with other’s, and I normally agree with him, but not so much here. Sure, we should all have some degree of knowledge regarding diy in this sport, but to say that if we can’t fix it, we shouldn’t play is unfair. I have four hobbies. I don’t expect anyone who owns a...

    Are We asking Too Much?

    I chose your comment specifically to reply. I recall that you are a Brocock advocate iirc. I recently purchased 3 XR platforms from a very well known retailer. The first two were fine. Packaging needs to be upgraded considerably due to the way things are tossed around these days. Two box...

    A little long, but worth the read - Edgun West and the L2

    A few years ago I eluded to a issue I had with Brian regarding an Edgun purchase I made with him. My issue is minuscule in comparison to yours. However, the issue I had was so small that I find it silly that Brian never made it right. It would have cost less than $5 including shipping. This was...

    Mo power equals mo money

    3 I’m not too sure that this is accurate enough to warrant a $1,000 difference in what is essentially the same rifle. The blocks are the same, bottle, stock, and potentially the barrel to a dagree. The only difference should be the reg and hammer. top

    Mo power equals mo money

    So I’ve been immersed in “adult airguns” for about two decades now. I recall that the trend about ten, or so, years ago was that as caliber size increased for a particular model so did price. It seemed that .177 and .22 were priced the same. Then, there was a bump in price from .22 to .25, then...

    EDgun West - BIG Shipment inbound + BIG Changes in the Works!

    I would be surprised if the price increases more that 5-10%. At that point, they would pretty much price themselves out of the market. Edguns are great, but with too much more on top of what they go for now, there are equal to better options. I have an Edgun, and I like it fine enough, but for...

    Buying scopes from abroad (Krale)

    Hello Brent, Yes, there are strange regs regarding import/export within shooting sports. Looks like I had it wrong (backwards). “Tone” can be misinterpreted when posting/emailing. I originally took your comment as a snide one, but it’s obvious now that was not your intent. We both learned...

    Thanks! Your answer is what I was hoping for. Now that you say, I think that I had it backwards. top

    Buying scopes from abroad (Krale)

    Hello Brent, I had a question for those who purchased scopes from Krale living here in the US. As I said above, I vaguely recall that individuals can’t import scopes into the states from abroad. top

    Buying scopes from abroad (Krale)

    Hello All, I may put together an order with Krale in the next few days. I am interested in a scope or two from them as well. I forgot the rules regarding the importation of scopes. Has anyone here in the US purchased a scope from Krale? I started the order, and it recognized me as being in the...
