    GX CS4-I shutting off

    Man, the GX line seems like the perfect fit for what I need and can afford, but after reading NUMEROUS threads about their products, the general vibe I get is that they’re rather dismissive and not very helpful when you have problems… :confused:

    N/A High shot count .177s?

    As I already have a Taipan in .25, this is a solid suggestion that I’ll keep my eyes peeled for just in case. :)

    N/A High shot count .177s?

    High shot count with regard to air is entirely different than a high shot count magazine. I’m fine with 10-15rnd mags, as mags are generally quick and easy to fill and require no additional equipment. Filling air is a totally different thing. I’m solely concerned with air here, not magazine...

    N/A High shot count .177s?

    No judgement detected, and even if there was, I wouldn’t care lol. I figure I’m spending my money and not yours, so ultimately the choice is mine alone to make regardless of what anyone else thinks. But again, I didn’t think you were prodding me at all, and it never hurts to ask! :) Truthful...

    N/A High shot count .177s?

    Sure, but my Taipan and EdGun R3 feel just fine lol. The reach to the trigger is too long, the finger grooves aren’t spaced right, and it just didn’t feel as good as the higher end bullpups I have. It can be fixed/tailored to suit me, I just have to be willing to make permanent, irreversible...

    N/A High shot count .177s?

    I do need to join and troll more UK airgun forums, yes. My only real issue with a strictly 12fpe .22 is the trajectory. 12fpe is 12fpe, but as I’m sure you’re aware, how you get there makes a world of difference. A .177 will have a flatter trajectory than a .22 when tuned that low, but I guess...

    N/A High shot count .177s?

    I had an Akela in .177 and liked its performance overall, but it didn’t fit me great. If I can snag a refurb from AR next time they have them, I might consider altering the stock to fit me better. That would certainly be one of the least expensive ways to go!

    N/A High shot count .177s?

    Truth be told, I only have one .22 PCP right now, a Benjamin Cayden. I wouldn’t be opposed to another .22 rather than a .177, as I have a healthy stockpile of .22 pellets from 14gr-18gr. But I also have a very healthy supply of H&N Finale Match 8.18gr wadcutters in .177 to go through as well, so...

    N/A High shot count .177s?

    I have .25 stuff covered well, and I think I have .22 down well enough at the moment (that can always change though, lol). But I’m considering a .177 PCP purely to have something with a high shot count per fill (200+). I realize shot count varies based on the tune, so if it helps I’d be happy...

    Huben PCP Progression - What was yours?

    1) Benjamin Marauder Gen2 .25 (sold) 2) Benjamin Cayden .22 3) Benjamin Akela .177 (sold) 4) Taipan Vet 1 Long .25 5) EdGun Lelya 2.0 .22 (sold) 6) EdGun R3 Long .25 7) Brocock Sniper XR Magnum .25 Like many others, I’ve been burned buying “cheap”/inexpensive items in other areas. The Benjamins...

    Is lubricating pellets necessary?

    Here’s one of them now, giving an in-depth recap of how they got the job done!

    Is ANYONE still making these?

    Because that’s what he’s using it on, a single shot EdGun R3. ;)

    Is ANYONE still making these?

    Parallax wheel mounted on the elevation turret?

    Khales has several models like that. Be ready to fork over $2,000+ for one though, they’re a premium/“tier 1” brand! Edit: nevermind, I misunderstood. I thought OP was asking for a scope where the parallax adjustment was located on the elevation turret. Instead, they’re asking about using a...

    GOOD & CHEAP: Gamo Pro Magnum Expansion .177 $10 @ 750 @ Bezos

    Where is this? I’ve never heard of Bezos before other than Jeff Bezos, unless that’s code for Amazon lol.

    Thomas T has passed and won’t be posting any further.

    Wow, I’m not sure how I missed this news! My sincere condolences on Thomas’ passing! I didn’t know him well, but I lurk a lot and saw constant involvement from Thomas (valuable input, encouragement, contributions to the community, and just general good guy stuff). He will be missed here for sure! :(

    Projectiles Looking for .177 and .20 pellet assortment/samples

    Hey everybody! I recently stumbled into an HW50S in .177 and a Sheridan Blue Streak in .20, and need pellets to test. The HW50S came with a tin of H&N Baracuda Match 10.65gr, but I’m specificallg looking to try the following (I’ll consider most quality mid-weight 7-11gr options, however)...

    Wal-Mart stop carrying Crosman 22 HP pellets??

    FX Going to buy a new FX ? Do it now. I mean like right now

    The only FX I really had any interest in was a DRS, but it’s not a necessity. A Daystate Huntsman would fill the role of a DRS Classic while looking just as good, honestly. Sucks to see prices go up regardless…

    Wal-Mart stop carrying Crosman 22 HP pellets??

    I’ll have to try the new ones, but I think I have about 5,500 of the old CPHPs still. That should last me many years at the rate at which I shoot (and I have several other airguns in other calibers still as well). I guess I’d better get to shooting!
