Been a long time, but the one I had experience with shot JSB's and several others well, but consistently it shot the Gamo Hunters a shade better. Somewhere there is a picture of seven of them in a stack where one after the other is in the skirt of the one before. Twenty yards off a bench...

The Swarm Maxxim weighs less with the scope and a full magazine than many of the other options. It is fairly quiet, fairly accurate, and being able to produce a fast follow up without loading a pellet is worth the price if you hunt. The Magazine has been 100 percent except when I loaded it...

We recently went to the National Forest. The squirrels wee still in the trees and hard to even catch glimpses of. Right now is prime time, but the deer frenzy will be taking over the weekends on public ground. The Berryman Trail camp, various roadside camping spots, the Brazil Creek camp...

It depends on the power level of the rifle, range, and the animal. Years back, and I mean over thirty , more like forty years ago, when we were all using low powered airguns, I tested the available pellets at the time using the old thick Bell telephone books, and the results pretty much...

Isn't that pretty much the same energy the Crosman 1100 made?

In some places, any air rifle that has over 12 fpe is considered a firearm. Because of that, their entire airgun industry is based in -12 fpe airguns. If you watch some of the videos, you will see they don't look like they need any more. I grew up killing squirrels with a Crosman 2100. It...

A tin of heavy pellets will help burn the oil out, and until that happens, between the velocity differences and the sooting of the bore, you will never get accuracy. Five inches at 20 yards is terrible, but have you actually read anything about shooting magnum springers? If not, then lay it...

I stumbled om an HW55S years ago, that had four deep gouge scratches in one side of the stock. On one side of the block it said HW55S, and on the other it said Beeman R-8. I bought it for a ridiculous price. It was a tack driver but I am a hunter, and it just did not have the power. I...

There are several such scents, and at least one of them will cause the game to seek you out at times. That is the slime off catfish skin. The smell you almost cannot wash off. Mix in a little castor if you are feeling nostalgic. Both my father and I had deer come within a few yards one...

A spring is a down grade fro a ram in my opinion. A dovetail alone is a downgrade. A bad trigger is a bad trigger. Any of the nominal 800 fps with lead will easily do the job. The bottom end has a dovetail; and maybe a stop block. That is the bottom end on the scope rail. A gas ram can...

The second target circle is the preferred shot for me. Not just on groundhags. I had an uncle who believed squirrel brains were what you hunted them for. No shots to the head allowed. You put a wadcutter or other high impact pellet right at the base of tht ear. You miss a little left, a...

I started about 8, and have at least handled everything since until the last ten years. I even got my own pistol to the burp stage trying to tune it before i lost interest. Years back WalMart had two open box specials, and they had a Trail for $99. I pretty much have shot gas ram springers...

If you have a sling on it, try this. Grab the sling below the stock and place the gun on the side of the fist grabbing it. Curl your fingers at the wrist, but keep your thumb straight up or at least center line, not wrapped on around. The Trail sling mount works perfectly for this, and...

That runs ftom sub $200 dollar guns and refurbs, all the way to real money. The Gamo Swarm Maxxim has the needed power, the needed accuracy, and a trigger you can get used to. My grandson has. His is a $99 refurb, and weighs less with the scope than the others do without it. The feed...

Nice to hear from you! The .25 is plenty, but file a complaint and get official blessing for dropping them. Problem is, without a head neck shot, what happens if they run off and die in the neighbors flower bed? Head neck shots mean DRT. What is state law on this invasive species? I...

We have had a bit of that this year also, multiple times. I live on a ridge that tapers off into the Mississippi bottoms, and have three rivers to deal with. When it gets bad, my only problem is access is so limited that going anywhere is a nightmare. It would take a few hundred feet of...

I had a 33 s with the R-8 markings on the other side. It shot so sweet. In .177 at that speed, it was useless to me, but you won't find a nicer shooting gun. I traded it for a TM steroid Sheridan. since I am primarily a hunter. I would likely pick a gun I never owned, but shot quite a bit...

I bought a refurb 95 recently. Premiers, Hp's, Points, Pirahnas, Redfires, Superpoints, several wadcutters, Greens and Sniper Lites so far. Still have not found the pellet for it. All of them shoot into about an inch at 20 yards. All of them tease with groups and then produce fliers that...

It is 65 on my porch right now. It may get into the 80's. The news guy is talking about how hot it is! Here, it can be in the forties to the 90's on this date, and all of them are "normal".

It actually fell into the 40's in some close by locations, but I only to 51!
