    Benjamin All NEW Benjamin G3 Marauder at the PA Cup!

    Wonder if Crosman will still have an air tube model as an option? Some folks like the more slim profile of the tube over the bottle.

    AEA/JTS Pellets and Fouling

    Folks, I have to go against-the-grain of this thread. I'm not seeing this issue of excessive bore fouling. I'm running AEAs in three .22 long barrel rifles. Since reading this thread early on I have been paying attention to loss of accuracy from my rifles and I am just not seeing it??? I...

    Daystar Hunts!

    Sorry if I sound like a 'broken record', but just telling the truth for anyone who might be interested in the Daystar as a hunting rifle. Yesterday I was in the field for 10-hours. The way I hunt ground squirrels is on-foot hiking and glassing for vermin. There are not high numbers in my area...

    Bowkett Titan Manitou

    Congrats, great rifle! The rifle itself is the same rifle as the Falcon FN** single shot (I have one). Sorry, I have no knowledge regarding the stock.

    Daystar Hunts!

    Had the Daystar out hunting ground squirrels again today. Walked off my property at about 9:30 and home about 1:30. Only found seven squirrels today but the Daystar continues to impress and put them all down first shot! Long shot was 55yds and a few in the mid-40s range. My old Falcon FN19...

    Why kill crows?

    Once many decades back I was out coyote calling using mouth calls. I had a brown/tan camo 'jeep cap' on. While calling, something slammed into my head from the back & side! A Red Tailed hawk saw me moving my head left & right looking for an in coming coyote and the hawk thought my head was an...

    Still shooting JSBs???

    I've tried many many different slugs in my one slug rifle (U2 .25), including many diameters and weights and I still have yet to kind a slug that groups as well as the AVS 44gr .2513". Just last week I finally broke-down and bought some Altaros Smooth 49.5 grain that everyone brags about and...

    Still shooting JSBs???

    I have purchased, and fired several thousand AEA 18.3 .22 in both 250 & 500 count tins. I can honestly say that I have not found any difference in accuracy between any 'batches' of those pellets. Also, I have not seen the need to clean the bore often with these AEAs that others have...

    Inexpensive target scope

    Jim, I use a similar scope to your Sentenil 8-32. Mine is the Mueller 8-32x44. I imagine it's very similar in all regards to what you described your Vector to be. I have it mounted to my dedicated 'bench' rifle and it works plenty well enough for my informal 50yd shooting. Since I am not...

    Daystar Hunts!

    Agree. For the pellet weights that most people like to shoot many of the Turkish long rifles are over-sprung. With the spring the rifles come with they get good velocity with the heavier 22gr pellets for a 'cliff' tune. However there isn't enough spring, and air volume to achieve a 'bell...

    Daystar Hunts!

    I can't answer your question as I never fired the rifle straight out of the box. I have a Reximex Lyra which has the same barrel, air cylinder, trigger group and internals in the action/block as does the Daystar. The Daystar has more material machined off areas of the external action/block...

    Daystar Hunts!

    Since I've had the rifle less than a week I am not confident in reporting what the rifle averages at 50yds. The shooting I did on target at 50yds was just to check my ballistic/drop data against 'real' drops on target. Also checking the tracking accuracy for my dial-ups on the optic. The...

    Still shooting JSBs???

    For clarity on this thread, AA & FX are JSB pellets. Many speculate that the AAs & FXs might be from different dies at JSB, but I've never seen any proof of that.

    Still shooting JSBs???

    This is a sincere post, not intending to start a fight. Do any of you with 30fpe or higher energy rifles still finding JSBs to give your rifle(s) the tightest and most consistent groups? Myself..., I only have a few PCP rifles and all of them are now off the JSB diet and onto either AEA or JTS.

    New Composite-Carbon Fiber Stock for FX DRS Pro & Classic

    Daystar Hunts!

    Yes, I agree. I sacrifice overall shot count for tuning at the top part of the 'bell curve'. My starting fill pressure is only 195Bar. The key to getting an adequate amount of flat shots with a non-regulated rifle is to have a large volume air reservoir.

    Why kill crows?

    Ditto what your wrote for Starlings also! I refer to Starlings as, 'Vikings of the bird world' for the savage attacks on native bird nest!

    Daystar Hunts!

    I chose the polymer stock over the more pleasing, walnut or laminate to save weight. The Polymer is nearly 1lb lighter than the wood versions. As the rifle is shown in the pic above it weighs 8lbs-14oz. It's not light weight, but certainly lighter than the majority of today's air rifles. For...
