    CVLife Scopes

    I just did a little shooting with my crosman f4 nitro piston rifle shooting crosman 7.9 gr hollow points. Nickel sized group at 25 yards using a lawn chair as a rest. I may hold on with the Bushnell 4x32 for a while longer. Gotta keep the birds out of the blueberry bushes.

    CVLife Scopes

    Probably going to get the Winchester 4x32 AO but not completely set in stone. Found reviews where people have them on springers and nitro piston rifles and have been well pleased plus it won’t break the bank. I shoot mostly at 30 yards so I really don’t need a variable power scope. I am just a...

    CVLife Scopes

    Kinda what I figured. The old Bushnell I have on it is probably at least 25 years old and has held zero pretty well. I am wanting to get a scope made for an air rifle that will hold up. My np cost me roughly $100 and I don’t want to spend what my gun cost for a scope (I’m cheap). May try the...

    CVLife Scopes

    I have been seeing these scopes at really good prices. They show a 3-9 x 40 AO scope for around $40. Got a Bushnell scope on my intro piston rifle. I was wondering if the CVLife scopes will last on a nitro piston rifle. The Bushnell is doing great but I would like to have something with an AO...

    Lube for a Nitro Piston

    What is the best lube to use for a nitro piston rifle? Most lubes for them are not carried by the local stores in my area. I have see. The RWS and Crosman synthetic lubes. I have also seen synthetic treadmill lube mentioned. Are there any other things that can be used?j

    Place to Shoot

    Best of luck finding a place to shoot HotRod. Building a pellet trap seems like it may be your best bet or that’s what I would do. It is a shame the way the “progressives” have swayed the way a lot of people feel about guns, whether an air rifle or a Barrett .50 cal. I am fine if some folks...

    Whats your fav budget gas piston Rifle ?

    My Crosman exclusive f4 classic np has been lights out. $83 at Wally World. Ditched the scope that came with it in favor of a bushnell 4x32. Shoots sub nickel sized groups at 30 yards using Crosman 7.9 gr Hollow Points. Going to use to squirrel hunt since rim fire cartridges are scarce and...

    "Best" pellets testing accuracy?

    Robgmn, I have some Crosman Premier 7.4 gr pointed that are very inconsistent on the skirts. Some fit really nicely and others will almost slide through the barrel. The Premier 7.9 gr Hollow points are really consistent on being a snug fit. Not difficult to load at all. Have some Winchester...

    Looking for advice

    I see where Midway USA has the Maximus for $155. Didn’t realize there was a PCP for that low of a price. The drawback for me would be having to recharge the air every 20 shots.

    Looking for advice

    When I started looking at pellet rifles, I was looking for something for pest control. I have since decided that I am going to do some squirrel hunting since 22 rim fires are hard to come by. I didn’t want to spend a fortune on a rifle that would be used at close range. I don’t want or have the...

    Alabama Bushy tails 2

    Nice work, B-G. I am across from you in SW Mississippi. Will be hunting bushy tails with a Crosman F4 Nitro Piston this year due to the unavailability of .22 rimfire cartridges. Finally got my scope.tweeked and shooting sub nickle size groups at 30 yards. Got a pretty nice rabbit with it at...

    "Best" pellets testing accuracy?

    I found that in my Crosman F4 that the 7.9 gr Crosman Premier Hollow Points group better than anything else I have tried. I shot several 5 shot groups that were less than nickel size at 30 yards. One of the shots that were off would I consider a flier. Mostly the shooters fault. One group...
