Those old Beemans did have nice looking stocks though. I love HW rifles, but I really don't like the looks of their current stocks.

My 13 year old daughter has been shooting my R7 for years now and refers to it as her gun. IMO, it's worth the extra money to start them out on a decent gun. We all have our own levels of enthusiasm for different activities. Some of us are just naturally drawn to shooting and you could...

This actually illustrates exactly what I was referring to. There's absolutely no question that the Chinese are capable of manufacturing high quality goods, so why is it that pretty much the entire world, including the Chinese themselves, pay premiums for products manufactured in China by...

^^^^This^^^^ I've got a number of guns that I really don't want that I bought primarily because they were a good deal. It's better to get ripped off on a nice Theoben than to get a killer deal on an AEA.

To me, the whole idea of bugging out in an emergency without a known and prepared destination is extremely dubious, particularly if the place you’re bugging out to is just “the wilderness”. Most wilderness areas either aren’t very hospitable or aren’t really wilderness. If you haven’t done...

A word of warning regarding .30 Apolo pellets. They are oversized. I bought way too many because they were dirt cheap and I'm going to try resizing them and see how they do. They might still turn out to be a good deal. I paid about 6 cents apiece for them, which for .30 pellets is a very...

Depends on the price and the person. If someone has a mountain of good reviews and has been here for six years then I assume he is trustworthy. If someone is selling something for $150 or less but doesn’t have any reviews then I’ll just take the chance and hope I don’t get ripped off. If...

Agree entirely. Even if the gun is NIB, you’re not a retailer with a warranty and I’m taking a risk when I deal with you. You might rip me off and send me nothing. I might find the NIB rifle is defective and that’s why you didn’t want it. We pay a premium when we buy from AOA, Pyramyd or...

Look for Benjamin single die pellets. I've seen those for sale at some of the Cabelas/Sportsmans Warehouse type big box stores. They seem to be excellent.

It'd probably be way worse than it is now too because there would suddenly be lots of hungry and desperate people out there too and all the game would be gone in short order.

A steroid 392 really is pretty close to ideal for that role. They're light, rugged, powerful and self-contained. It's really too bad they didn't come with dovetails and a threaded muzzle. I've been searching for the best multi-pump rifle for awhile now and so far it's the Steroid 392.

Bummer. I was hoping they were linked with ASG or something.

Do you have any sources for this? I'm thrilled to hear it, since I'd rather not see what has been a fantastic manufacturer disappear from the US, but everything I've read for the past couple of years has indicated that they were based in China.

Huben is a company that seems to defy the stereotypes. Not only are the K1 and GK1 extremely good, so are the Huben moderators and the Huben hand pumps. Their hand pump weighs less than half of any other pump on the market and pumps up to 5000 psi.

Huben hand pump is about 2.5 lbs, but if you’re traveling on foot you shouldn’t be bothering with an airgun. In a survival situation I would only see an airgun as something that you have with you in your vehicle or your dwelling. Behind the seat of your truck or in your cabin in the woods a...

Maybe it was my VPN that was messing things up, but it shouldn’t have since I had entered my actual shipping address as a part of the ordering process.

^^This^^ X's 10. If you're going to bug out, you need a place to bug out to with shelter and supplies and the ideal time to bug out is years in advance. Personally, if I were choosing a single airgun as a survival tool it would be my AA S410E. It's very accurate, very quiet, powerful...

I was going to order the Benjamin Trail XL he has for sale a few days ago and got all the way to the end of the process. $120 shipping fee! No, thank you!
