Funny you mention not losing POI after bumping the barrel. I was helping a friend with a project the other day and had left my Sahara in the cab of my side by side, leaning against the seat. A bit later, I happened by and noted that my Sahara was now half in, half out of said side by side, with...
If my shop burned down and I had to replace everything, this is the first thing I would buy. I use the ever-loving snot out of it. I think Grizzly makes a cheaper version of it. Justin
I get in the neighborhood of 140 shots from my Sniper Sahara .177 shooting the 13.4 grains JSB’s at about 820fps, which seems pretty good for a smaller, handy type of air rifle. When some marauding varmint on my property needs to die, the Sahara is the gun I grab. I totally agree about the...
Gents, All else being equal, does any caliber lend itself to shooting slugs more accurately, or seem easier to tune than other calibers? Thanks, Justin

Gents, Is there a difference mechanically between the Sniper HR’s and the Sniper Saharas (besides some of the older Snipers having a bolt as opposed to a lever)? I thought the only difference was color. I have a Sahara in .177, and a Sniper HR in .22. I plan on being buried with them. Justin
Analog, Here is a picture of my Sahara with a black moderator that I made. I tried forty-eleven different colors of sand, beige, etc., trying to match the color of the gun but could not find anything satisfactory, so black it is. Hope this helps, Justin
TN Yankee, Have you seen this? https://www.airgunsofarizona.com/usedguns.html/brocock-sniper-xr-synthetic-.177-%E2%80%93-used/ It isn’t a Sahara, but there ain’t no flys on the regular ol’ Sniper. Justin
bigHUN, Stain-less, not stain-proof. Some SS is more corrosion resistant than others. 416, which is your typical SS for PB barrels, seems to be pretty resistant to rust, based on the condition of the SS barrels I have in my shop (I’m 20 or so miles from the Pacific. Carbon steel rusts QUICK in...
