IIRC, he said it was from eBay and it's specifically for the Prod.

You know my vote!

Got the Veyron 3-12 SFP and first impressions are fantastic! The reticle is still very precise, but thick enough that I think I would be comfortable taking it into the woods for some hunting. Definitely towards the thinner end of the spectrum. It's about 1/2 as thick as my Athlon Talos 3-12 SFP...

For Android devices, I don't see a reason why one couldn't side load the APK if the dev made it available. I've already set mine to not auto-update, but I do still connect to the internet and update my phone.

Wow, that is an absolutely beautiful gun!

They make magnetic USB-C cables. Any chance that would work in any way? Example:

@rattletrap your printing skills are enviable. I've finally got my printer decently dialed in with PLA, but it's so brittle for functional parts. How much harder is it to print in PETG?

Well, sad day. Called Umarex and they do not send tank blocks out anymore. Screw Umarex. They came in, put some "fancy" stock on a QB79 HPA conversion and called it groundbreaking, when people like Bob Sterne and @nervoustrig had been masterfully modifying QB's for YEARS. Umarex has apparently...

Oh yeah, just some airguns you haven't gotten around to unboxing... 😲 I wouldn't be able to do anything else knowing those were around and not unboxed yet. Those are classic guns!

Ah, my b. I figured they'd be like 1/4"

Oooh, smart idea. I used a 1/2-20 threaded standoff from McMaster when I 3D printed some barrel bling. Pricier than a nut, but also has 1/2" of threads

Agreed. If you want a project gun AND can find a used Prod in the $200 range, then it can make sense. But Crosman asking almost $400 for the Prod in 2023 is a joke. It should be selling for $199

This is the key here I think. I grabbed the Talos because it's going on a cheap PCP and there was no sense on putting a $400 optic on it. But I would never put it on a $1000 PCP.

While I agree with the sentiment, let's not forget you can find the Talos SFP models for ~$150-$180. At that point, another $170 is literally double the cost. I'm not saying it's not worth it, but if anyone is reading this and they can only afford a $150 scope, you're not doing yourself a...

Talos 3-12 w/ Warne Vapor rings (~3oz). Looks like it's around 19 oz for the scope.
