    Huben PCP Progression - What was yours?

    Wow. WOW!!! 😃 Talking about accidentially stepping into a rabbit hole...? Nope. 😃 This is more akin to climbing on a tree above the rabbit hole, and then diving into the rabbit hole — head first. You've got guts, my friend. 👏🏼 I'll see you at the bottom. 👍🏼 I've got ways to go. Matthias

    Scopes with center dots and suitable for hunting?

    Well, the seller that had the Athlon Helos 2-12x42 FFP for $460 just ran out of them. However, he still has a couple of the high quality do-it-all scope (that I just bought), the Athlon Ares ETR 3-18x50 FFP for $583 (MRSP over $1000). 😃 Matthias Links...

    Huben PCP Progression - What was yours?

    Yeah, there are a few other terms that bid to bubble forth from just beyond the subconscious level: ● It progressed catastrophically ● It progressed ruining my savings ● It progressed beyond reason and rationality ● At first, it progressed unnoticeably... — until it progressed unstoppably! 😱...

    Not sure why your screen name is WobblyHand... — because you had a very steady hand (and mind!) to assemble — for the benefit of ALL of us airgun nuts — this extremely helpful table!! ⭐️ THANK YOU! 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 Matthias

    Hold-Over or Dial? …Scope Turret Labels - DYI

    Thanks for clarifying — seems like we mostly agree. 👍🏼 And yes, you made the excellent observation how difficult it is to put price levels to quality levels — because of the variations between manufacturers. And I want to congratulate you on your incredible backyard range — 625y sounds like...

    Scopes with center dots and suitable for hunting?

    OK, good, that's helpful: 👍🏼 1️⃣ Top end magnification: At least 16x for 100y range — better 20x for seeing impact holes in paper target. 2️⃣ Bottom end magnification — really means "Field of View (FoV)": Your comment that your 6-24x has a FoV that is too narrow is spot-on for ranges of 15y...

    Hold-Over or Dial? …Scope Turret Labels - DYI

    I think the $1000 requirement to get a scope that tracks well applies to scopes from a decade or two ago. ➧ We have entered a Golden Age of Scopes 😃 (same can be said for airguns, just look at the development in the last 10 years 👍🏼). Even $500 MRSP might not be necessary to get turrets that...

    Scopes with center dots and suitable for hunting?

    Hi, Dino, I have lots of suggestions for scopes, LOTS and LOTS. But most of them probably won't be good suggestions for YOUR shooting scenarios. 😃 So, if you give us some more specifics, the suggestions will be much more helpful to you. 👍🏼 ➊ Is this for a springer or PCP? ➋ What is...

    FINALLY....they came out....

    I was just going to respond to your earlier post about not seeing your turret numbers — and mow you found exactly what I was going to recommend you. MK Machining is top notch — they use the good glass for the magnifiers (unlike others). They have them in different scope tube sizes, even 35mm...

    Huben PCP Progression - What was yours?

    I feel like I'm at a 10-step AAA meeting: "Hi. My name is Matthias. I'm an airgun addict. Let me tell you my story: ....." For those of us who don't know AAA = Airgun Addicts Anonymous Carry on. I have to get back to finishing my order for the next airgun. I can stop buying airguns any...

    Airgun Calculators

    Yupp! GPConway Ballistic Calculator does this and pretty much anything you could want — for airguns — on Android, Windows, and iOS, and even Linux. Here is the link (below) to the particular app in the PlayStore — the webpage shows links for everything else. Matthias App...

    Massive Scam?

    This Leupold scope has two strikes against it. 😔 Leupold must think that the guns that this scope gets mounted on have NO bullet drop....: Because: ➊ They put caps on the turrets (an indirect message to the user: "These turrets are not made for constant dialing!") ➋ They only offer a plain...

    Semi-wadcutter slug

    𖤓 I love the way that H&N wants to hear from their customers. 𖤓 And I love their openness to apply German engineering to airgun projectiles. There seem to be a considerable group of shooters who like wadcutters (or semi-wadcutters) for short-range pesting. They swear by the bricklike...

    Huben GK1 in .22 or .25?

    Mmmm, now that would justify why I waited to get a .25cal GK1.... I forgot why I would actually "need" a .30cal PCP pistol — but that doesn't nullify my need to buy such a thing. Count me in. Matthias

    Athlon Ares ETR UHD: Gen. 1 vs. Gen. 2: What changed?

    Athlon Ares ETR UHD: Gen. 1 vs. Gen. 2: What changed?❓ ➊ I look at Athlon's webpage and see that there are Ares ETR UHD scopes that are NOT being titled Gen. 2: https://athlonoptics.com/product-category/rifle-scopes/athlon-optics-rifle-scopes-ares-etr/ ➋ Then I see there are Ares...
