Interesting thread! I'd like to start swaging my own ammunition so that means slugs, not pellets. I have a couple of .22 caliber slug capable airguns but I'm casually considering a .25/700mm Leopard for that duty. Part of the reason for a 700mm barrel is that I have an Impact, Panthera, and...

Bought a number of airguns recently and have settled down to enjoy shooting them. Not really looking for another one at the moment.

For my springers I'd been using a duct-seal pellet trap for years with no concerns, no problems. I was doing some velocity testing on my first PCP and didn't fully appreciate how much more powerful they were. I had the PCP on a rest, carefully aligned with the sensors of the chronograph and...

While trouble shooting accuracy problems we never thought to check this… it could happen to anyone! ;) A friend wanted to do some tuning and asked if the shooting bench was available. I had finished my morning session and had chores to do so I said to come over. Chores finished I found my...

I'm really glad to read of your joy with the Leopard! 😁 Thanks for sharing it! I usually shoot .22, have a couple and don't need another. There's a small chance that a .25 Leopard may find a home here. Cheers!

Sounds like the airgun has been thoroughly gone over. Maybe try another scope? Seen a scope that was adjusted too close to its maximum, got bumped and the erector tube started "floating" causing the groups to open up. Have you checked/confirmed that the parallax was properly adjusted? That...

Keeping in mind that the image (and the tooling marks) are greatly magnified and are making things look worse. Best I can tell, the slight "chatter" from the chamfering tool looks even and consistent all around the bore. If you're super-tuning a competition rifle (or just messing around...

I keep my .22 caliber HW44 handy when working around the property. You never know when you need to deal with a pest.

Populations are low? Not around here! I go through a couple of pounds of seed a day feeding dozens birds. 😃 Cheers!

Great shooting! From a rest or off-hand? Pellet performance depends greatly on the airgun, the tune, the distance and the shooter (probably mostly the shooter 😉) Glad you are enjoying yourself! Cheers!

All good advice above, pick your level of commitment/interest/frustration/fun 🤪 Suggestions: clean the barrel, buy a couple of tins of recommend (by the manufacturer or by popular concensus... it's not critical) pellets and shoot the gun with the factory tune. I say this because the airgun...

Compared to fishing my airgun addiction is cheap! Guess that I could buy a couple of hooks, some line, cut a pole, dig some worms and fish from the shore... but I don't! 😁 I need a boat full of stuff! 🤪 We complain about airgun prices but I think we have gotten off pretty easy. I went to the...

It's been extremely hot and humid the past week so shooting sessions have been limited to stepping out on the deck, plinking a magazine's worth of tin cans with the HW44 then retiring back to the air-conditioning. 😁 Cheers!

Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing!

Emu, What power are you at? Is your Wolverine an R or a HP? Thanks!

FYI, just checked the crown on my .22 Wolverine R and it looks fine. The end of the barrel is highly polished and appears to be slightly dished (concave) rather than having a pronounced chamfer. No complaints about the accuracy! What ever reason/solution, I'm glad your Daystate is now...

I make target butts from a large softwood (spruce, pine or cedar) log mounted on three legs for stability. They are solid but not overly heavy so they're easy to move around. It takes about 15 minutes to make one, they last for thousands of shots and it's pretty easy to reclaim the lead. The...

Most of my shooting is off-hand plinking and that is how I warm up / loosen up for a bench session or tuning and testing. Pesting and hunting are cold-bore by necessity. I shoot the report cards to establish baselines and for the fun of it. I do compare report cards. Shooting a week long...

IMHO, people don't shoot enough shots to get a statically relevant zero and again not enough to determine if that zero has really shifted. I shoot a 50 shot "report card" to test the accuracy of the system (gun, optics, projectiles and the shooter) under the current conditions. I use five...

It was (once) said that single-shot, hand feeding is the the best way (most accuracy) to load as you can feel every round as it's chambered. I think that is still mostly true, some magazine systems (like on the Weihrauch HW100) are extremely good, others leave much to be desired. At the...
