    Best looking gun !

    She’s pretty to me….lol. For looks, I actually prefer a classic walnut sporter for looks, but I choose to spend for value and performance instead.

    Other Northeast Ohio is looking for a pal

    I’m another relative newbie to the airgun world and I’ve already been thinking about stopping by to check out a match. I live east of Columbus in Licking Ct. I just might stop by on the 13th.

    What did you do airgun related today.

    Thank you! Hopefully I get the aluminum bar this week, so I can finish it up next weekend. Now I just have to pick out a nice bipod. The one in the pic is a cheap UTG with a ton of slop in tne legs.

    What was your first PCP?

    My first was a modified Benjamin Discovery in a Boyd’s laminate stock that I bought from a friend. I had a lot of fun in the backyard, even when I was hand pumping. When I blew an o-ring in the hand pump, I got an scba tank and had it filled at the dive shop for a while. After getting my...

    It still works on my iPhone and iPad, but I don’t think it gets updates anymore.

    What did you do airgun related today.

    It was actually last night, but I mocked a bipod mount for my Taipan Vet 2. I also like to shoot it off of a bench rest set up, so I didn’t want to just screw a picatiny rail or a sling attachment to the stock where it would be in the way. I did the mock up using a piece of 1/2” wide x 1/8”...

    You know you are an Airgunner when...

    Same here! I was cutting up boxes over the weekend and saving the ones that that would provide an 18”x 20” square to fit my target frame.

    N/A Minimal tuning and accurate pcp rifle?

    I recently went through the same decision making process using your originally stated criteria, and I ended up with a Taipan Vet 2 in 25 caliber. A few weeks and 500 pellets in, and I’m very pleased with my decision. It sounds like you have an awesome opportunity to make some real world...

    How Good is Athlon's Warranty?

    I don’t think they have the capability of repairs, so they just verify the issue and replace it with a new one. That’s all fine and good if your scope is still in production, but in my case, mine was not. They sent me a completely random scope in a similar price range that was absolutely no...

    What did you order / receive airgun related today? Thread

    That sucks! I haven’t ran mine for 1/10 of an hour yet to know if it works or not. I plan to try filling my SCBA tank today, so I should find out.

    What did you order / receive airgun related today? Thread

    Today I received a Yong Heng compressor that I ordered from EBay and tomorrow the compressor oil and a Tuxing air filter. I’ve been filling my 22 Disco from a scba tank that I was getting filled at the dive shop for the last few years, but I’m going through a lot more air since getting a Taipan...

    What did you do airgun related today.

    I built myself a new target frame out of some left over 1”x 2” and gave it a rattle can paint job. As an afterthought, I used a stiff piece of steel wire and a piece of surveyors tape to add a wind flag.
