One thing I tried years ago was loading shot charges into my .25 Kodiak. I don’t remember exactly how I did it, but it was basically...

Some ways into my springer fixin' journey I learned piston seal fit can give or take 100 fps just like that, and that springer bore...

The anatomically horrid cocking stroke inherent in gasram guns is the biggest reason for me to not have one. It messes up my shoulders...

They were mighty fine American rifles. I had a Blue streak from the late 70's and a Silver streak I bought at the plant in Racine in...

Is that right? Exact .20 cals (13.73gr.) produce 19.5 fpe at 800 fps. To get down to 15 fpe, the Exacts should do only 700 fps. At 800...

A whole bunch of big questions! I'll take a stab at it. Fixed barrel vs. break barrel has been discussed to the ground several times...

Good to hear about those accurate Kral barrels. Years ago I bought a N-07 .25 cal in walnut. It was the roughest new gun I've ever...

Sidelever Dianas are hard on scopes and mounts. The most surefire way to scope 'em is to get an accurized Diana ZR mount from Hector...

I can count on this 52 .25 to shoot sub 1” at 75 yards using 20.14 FTT. It’s great with 16 grain GTO & 25.43 Kings. The 20.14 are best...

If we wan't to go the route of naming single guns that are "considered the best", let's consider this: TX200's are very heavy guns...

There is no spring gun that is considered the best, let alone is the best. That's because every springer in production, now or in the...

At air rifle ranges scopes get complicated. They are hard to keep from shifting and take a lot of shock. The trajectory is big over a...

The D54 is pretty singular in being a high power platform while also among the most accurate springers ever produced. That's the reason...

IME, sidelever Dianas are definitely .22 cal guns. They actually shoot at the accuracy limit velocity in that caliber, being as...

I wouldn't think of trying a new springer, German or Chinese, for accuracy before at least a large tin of pellets was put through the...
