    Introduction

    Hello all. I recently became interested in air guns back in April, after accidently coming across the sport with a parallel hobby. As luck would have it, a former colleague sent me his old air rifle to use as a learning platform. Fast forward to today, and I now have 4 air rifles (including...

    Other Walther Model 55 & SIG HAMMERILI 401 (420)

    A lovely pair of classics, thanks for the pics! The Hammerli is a bit outside my wheelhouse, but the Walther rifles are special. They absolutely dominated early post-war air rifle 10-meter competition. Walther's first post-war model was the LG 51 light sporter, whose basic architecture and...

    Air Venturi PCP setup for iguana problem

    Several reasons, first and foremost is that they operate in suburban areas and often shoot iguanas in trees, and over-penetration or missed shots violate rule 4 and pose a potential risk to people. They often use compact 22 air rifles that are easy to carry around a property, tuned to like 700...

    Seneca/Sam Yang Sumatra 2500 leak, Disassembly

    Hey! I have recently bought an Eun Jin Sumatra 2500R .22 with unkown function. This will be my first PCP I'll have to disassemble and fix myself, before I've only owned already functioning ones. The check valve was broken, so first thing I did was to get the Best Fittings foster fill upgrade...

    Compact scope recommendations

    That's what I got for my new (and first air rifle) Marauder. So far, I really like it. My only "complaint" is that I wish the magnifcation ring had a detent stop on 10X, which is where the reticle mildots are calibrated.

    New Need Help Choosing Rifle

    Are you including a compressor with that $3-4k estimate? I just ordered everything I need (<---link to thread) for a tick over $2k. That included a fill tank (instead of a compressor). Still not cheap, to be sure! But not $4k, either. :) But if this air rifle thing turns into a "thing" for me...

    I've got a Marauder Regulated Lothar on the way. My first "real" / "grown-up" air rifle. I have never heard of the "SAM" model. Got a link? ETA: I just figured out "SAM." Semi-auto. I should hopefully have "first shots" next weekend and will report back!

    Benjamin Marauder tank modification

    I just got my first real air rifle last week - a regulated Marauder with LW barrel (and picatinny rail). I am VERY impressed with the precision this rifle is capable of. I'm a long-time firearms enthusiast and had been thinking about getting an air rifle for several years. Just last week, I...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    New to this site and love it. First, I want to say there are a lot of serious air gunners here, with some pretty awesome air guns. Personally, I have numerous traditional firearms, but I keep my 20 year old Gamo CFX in .177 for pest control around the property. It's always done the job for me...

    .22 LR vs .22 slug

    When I did a lot of squirrel hunting, I would grab my rifle and ammo and head into the woods. I never gave a thought to whether my rifle would shoot accurately when I needed it. Even with my most robust air rifles I would not have that confidence. The first time I bounced the barrel against a...
