    New to air guns

    If you're new, do not buy an fx. Wait until you have some experience with the nuance of pcp stuff. How much are you willing to spend? How mechanically inclined are you?

    The best All around Air rifle scope

    That's like asking what's the best airgun....or best pizza, or best movie. You need to narrow it down a little

    Chronograph With Bullet Hole

    I had a "shooting chrony" I think it was for several decades but shot it one too many times trying to get a reading on an air rifle indoors. I don't plan to get another and the expense of a dopler one seems like a waste. The little cheap ones do not miss shots and can be right at the muzzle of...

    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...

    Crosman Crosman Model 167 Dual CO2 .177 CAL.

    Hello to all; Crosman CO. introduced in 1955-1956 perhaps one of their most famous series of CO2 Rifles, the 160 series. Model 160 .22 cal. and the Model 167 .177 cal. powered by dual CO2 cartridges. The lesser known and smaller production, number wise, Model 167 .177 cal. is under review here...

    .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...

    Results My Best Card Ever

    I have never shot 100 yard bench on an actual card with an air rifle. So I am no help but I do practice at 100 yards for 22LR F Class. It's kinda like you shot your bulls eyes. In our first relay we are allowed unlimited sighters but once we start shooting for score you can no longer do sighters...

    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...
