    Centerfire v. Air

    I've not divested but have switched to exclusively air. All my buddies shoot both but we only air rifle hunt together(all springer guys) And I was pump 22, then got a marauder 25. Over the next 15 years the safe didn't get opened much, to only for maintenance cleaning. I got an impact m3...

    .30 Cal Dilemma

    I have no pcp rifle, have never had a pcp or break barrel rifle that shot that badly at that short of a range. Well, other than early experiments in pellets. Amazing how bad some very cheap pellets can be. The Sortie Tact comes close, but it isnt really a rifle and has an 8" barrel. 25 yards...

    PSI or air fluctuations on the gauge

    Day to day or hour to hour if the temperature changes enough. Just the other day I had my regulator pressure drop on me just bringing my rifle outside on an abnormally hot day. It was 87⁰ outside at 830 am in the shade and I store my guns in my basement at 67⁰. The first thing that happened was...

    For you "I fill my own tanks" PSA

    As air pressure increases, it's ability to hold moisture is reduced. Think of squeezing a wet sponge. This excess moisture will condense and yes, you can turn a cyl upside down and blow the liquid out. But obviously the best option is to not get too much moisture in, in the first place. That's...

    Better weather?

    So how's the weather in Boogaloosa? Waxahathcee? Tuscaloosa? Have the iguanas thawed? 72 degrees and sunshine on the desert today. Tee shirts from 1 'till 5. Shotgun shells to 80 yards with the air rifle. Out to 200 with the new rimfire. The first fine day in a few weeks. Spring is almost...

    Taipan 25 Caliber Taipan Vet 2 Standard

    That sounds eerily similar to my path with CZ center fire rifles. I bought my first one in 2017 and I was up to 5 when they dropped the 527 and 550 lines. I wouldn’t be surprised to see same thing happen with Taipan air rifles. I’m really enjoying the fact that I can shot at home without a 3...

    N/A Best *Obsolete* or *Discontinued* PCP Rifle?

    I still have my Falcon FN19 skeleton walnut pistol grip rifle., although I've been thinking of selling it because of my new FX M4 .357. I had a Webley Tempest .22 pistol with walnut stocks that I sold because of my Huben GK1 .25 as that is just so much more fun, accurate, and powerful to shoot...

    RAW Rapid HM1000x Bottle Valve Repair ???

    Thanks for responding ........ Scott, The bottle was originally on another gun and was empty, so I didn't know if the problem was the first gun set-up or bottle. Hence, I took another full bottle and put it on the first gun - the gun held air and shot like a champ - no leaks. First gun now OK...

    Crossman 760, so disappointing.

    My first air rifle was a '760 (25 or so years ago). All plastic without the pellet mag slot. After years of abuse (by dumb pre-teen kids) and thousands of rounds, she still holds her own against newer entry-level pumpers, even though the barrel is covered in rust and the sights are gone lol. I...

    FX foxes at 50 meters

    First fox I saw to be taken with an air rifle was with a Diana 350 .177 brake barrel at 50 yards. As a consequence: "ANY PCP can take a fox with a well placed head shot."

    Aussie HW 97

    First I thought it was a custom muzzle, but then there was the note why they have them holes. Here (Canada) airguns are classified as fire arms , and suppressors are prohibited. Not that they make any difference on air guns. Was just wondering if the factory provides the HW's with them holes, in...

    First . 22 cal ( rats )

    First, sorry for asking because im sure its asked quite alot. The rat problem in my backyard has been getting worse, and since the traps aren't working well I might as well take matters into my own hands. Looking to spend up to 200ish. I shoot alot of rifles, but never air guns and I don't...

    Huben 2024 Huben K1 Arrived Today - Operator Error - Yikes - Fixed

    I have an e-mail in to Kelly, but I don't expect him to see it on Christmas Day. I shot the K1 yesterday. No issues. I decided to sight in my Immersive Optic about 45 minutes ago. I opened the mag lock lever on Left side of rifle. Loaded the magazine and seated pellets with the rubber pointed...

    Introduction - New to PCP after 40+ years with Pew Pews

    Trigger time. You nailed it. I love to sit (or stand) and shoot for hours. I never get enough. With an air rifle, you can shoot until you don't want to shoot anymore every day of the week and still afford groceries. If you can step out your back door with a glass of iced tea and hammer away...

    FX FX DRS Won't Cock (How to Fix) Mag also stuck in gun...

    You can see the probe location if you look at the rifle from the side. You ALWAYS and I repeat ALWAYS first check where the probe is located and if it's not jamming the magazine due to different reasons (usually a badly set trigger or maybe a probe screw that gets loose). Then you can shear...

    Other New to PCPs

    Do not buy the Gamo Arrow is my advice. Plastic everything and they have had bolt lock up problems. The Gamo Urban would be a better choice by a mile, but not my first choice anymore. I would get either the Stoeger XM1 Scout or Bullshark first. The Air Venturi Avenge X is also a good budget...
