    Need some ideas..favorite walk & stalk loadout

    In my case, the choice of rifle for offhand shooting would be irrelevant, since any target would be totally safe from harm! But, if I had to take such a shot, I'd probably choose my HW100 with adjustable comb, since it fits me very well. I can very comfortably watch pellets spray around the...

    Daystate New Daystate Delta Wolf, erratic velocity with advanced setting

    I would try a couple of different pellets before doing any sorting. In my experience, sorting may be beneficial for fine tuning, but your variance is greater than I would expect to correct by sorting.

    Need help for a PCP

    The FX Royale 400 in .177 or .22 would work well for you. As a bottle gun, shot count is high, and the Royale uses the original solid barrel, which is very stable in attachment, and the action is simple and reliable. It is the only FX I would recommend. The bad news, they are hard to find, and...

    Best weight and shape to use offhand?

    Certainly a good way to shoot, but it won't help with offhand training.

    Best weight and shape to use offhand?

    You ask a nearly impossible question. A "proper" rifle for offhand shooting is one that fits you. Personal preference and physical stature will yield the answer. I used to do some service rifle shooting, something at which I was spectacularly bad in the standing segment. But, I learned that...

    Tuning Regulator pressure VS Hammer Spring tension

    If your most accurate velocity is 890, then you can adjust your reg down to the point at which you achieve a MAX velocity of around 940, then back down the HST to get your 890. That should yield more efficient air consumption, noise, etc. Find your best velocity first, then tune for efficiency...

    Well im out ...

    If the price is more than you're willing to pay, don't buy. Lost sales is the most effective way to communicate your displeasure. The international trade situation will continue to be a scapegoat, and in many cases valid. Regardless of tariff status, if a retailer's supplier raises prices, he...

    Quietest, and most accurate

    Daystate Revere. It is a classic, sporter style design, accurate, good trigger, as quiet as most with a moderator. It might cost more than you want, but if you like the sport, you will have a long-lasting, high quality rifle. If you decide it's not for you, sell it and take your loss as the cost...

    Ballistics calculations

    I guess I'm just old school (definitely old). By the time I figure out the calculator, I can usually have my solutions from shooting at the range. I've never seen a program that precludes shooting for verification, so I just skip it.

    N/A Tuning a Regulated PCP

    For maximum air efficiency, you want a balanced tune. Reg pressure is critical, and if you tune so that the maximum velocity at a given reg setting is 5-10% over your target velocity, then back off the HST a little for your goal, you'll be close. It's a trial and error process, and can be...

    What keeps you shooting?

    Kind of the same Gerry. I grew up small game hunting with a .22 RF. Over the course of 50+ years, I've enjoyed many different shooting disciplines, rifle, shotgun, handgun. At age 75, I've simplified things. I sold all of my reloading equipment and most of my CF rifles. Now, if I want to go...

    Looking to get into the hobby

    Glad to help if I can. After over 50 years of playing with RF stuff, I can offer a comment. Assuming a good barrel and consistent ignition, ammunition is everything. Your best ammo will be very expensive, but some very expensive ammo won't shoot in your barrel. All you can do is test, and it is...

    Looking to get into the hobby

    Eley Tenex and Lapua Center-X and Midas are all good in my Kidd. But you have to test by lot #, as they will differ.

    Then something is wrong with your Kidd or the ammo.

    I've had 2 air rifles that showed unacceptable accuracy. Both had bad barrels that were replaced under warranty.

    Looking to get into the hobby

    Since you mention hogs, I would look at some .30s. An ideal gun would be a good used FX Boss, But they are hard to find. You'll find lots of choices, it's just a matter of preference.....and budget. Bring money, lots of money.

    HW/Weihrauch Weihrauch HW 100kt .22

    The Weihrauch catalog and the various distributor websites are very confusing. You mentioned having a 410 mm barrel. Exactly where are your measuring points, from the breech end of the barrel or the receiver face? And to the end of the threaded muzzle or the end of the moderator? These may sound...

    Shooting Airgun in residential neighbourhood

    I believe that NY, at the state level, may not consider air guns to be firearms for regulatory purposes. However, they can be considered weapons, dangerous instruments, etc. So, regardless of the specifics of your local law, common sense and caution are required. If you were to accidentally...

    HW/Weihrauch Weihrauch HW 100kt .22

    I don't believe that you will find that model in the US. I have a carbine from AOA, and it has the longer rifle cylinder and a longer barrel. It's not the full-length US rifle barrel, but it's longer than the barrel in this picture.
