    Buying used?

    Great topic! Throughout the years, I’ve noticed that this hobby, in particular, draws in a different crowd. My theory is that since Airguns, traditionally, have been lower powered, more about finesse and tinkering to get a perfect balance/harmony of power and accuracy (and beauty), the folks...

    N/A The “Dark Side”

    We all get curious! :D I have an appreciation for both, and am glad I sampled and have invested in both. My springers get the majority of the day-to-day action. Bringing them out frequently for some simple plinking or target shooting — the cocking/breath control/thud of the piston hitting home...

    Just venting....

    I believe relocating small nuisance mammals is illegal in CA. https://californiaoutdoors.wordpress.com/2019/04/25/property-damaging-squirrels/ "Answer: No, squirrels may not be relocated. Small nuisance mammals that are damaging property may be dispatched by the owner (as long as it is not in...

    A fatal earache delivered by a 20 Theoben Crusader from 76 yards lasered!

    So you're telling me that you ear shot a squirrel, essentially off-hand, with a break-barrel springer, at 76 yards? o_O great shot.

    Field mouse vs 25 caliber Atomic pellet

    Holy Crap... Also, may I ask what you are using to keep that Oneleaf adapter steady? It looks much cleaner than the OEM duct tape it's provided with. :ROFLMAO:

    Caught in the Act by the Atomic XR

    I have to say... the cardboard with the window cut out is genius for at home pesting. Thanks for sharing!

    Taipan Mutant resin 12 shot mags coming soon

    An AGN Member (Nugria) already has very well functioning Taipan Mutant .22 3D printed magazines in production. I bought a few from him back in April, but am not sure on the pricing. Super happy to have the spare magazines for when I need them. Glad to see more members making magazines to support...

    Got another Springer ! R7

    Congrats on your new purchase! :D Mine is not pellet picky - you'll get acceptable accuracy with just about any pellet (including CPHPs); mine shoot JSB 7.33 and 8.44's extremely accurately. For the backyard (~25ish yard) plinking that I do, I normally take off the 3-9 that I normally have on...

    HW35 any good?

    The Weihrauch HW35 is an heirloom quality springer, and is a great air rifle. Typically shooting ~12-14 FPE, this break barrel rifle is an accurate tried and true model that is fantastic for target shooting and small game hunting. Although, the one that you've included in the picture does not...

    HOW do you RANGE the distance to your quarry (outside your PBR)❓

    Parallax Wheel for things that I eyeball to be 50yards or nearer. For anything that seems further than 50 yards, I'll take the time to bring out the laser rangefinder. That said, if I had the funds, the ATN scope+rangefinder combo sounds like a godsend. I find myself shaking my head and...

    Yesterday i asked if chrono is needed. Now i want to know if to buy FX, Caldwell or something else and why?

    Personally, I'm a tune it to where I want it, then leave it kind of guy. So while I do own my own Chrony, if it were to break, I'd be just fine borrowing one from a fellow enthusiast. If left with no one to borrow from, I'd just purchase one of the cheap Chinese muzzle clamp ones for ~$30ish.

    Feedback Nugria is a great seller and great person to deal with!

    I have been on a hunt for magazines for my Taipan Mutant (.22 caliber) for quite some time now. These magazines are no longer in production, and the OEM magazines seem to have disappeared off the face of this planet! Anywho, in comes Nugria... Equipped with a 3D printer and the skills to use it...

    Taipan owners....

    This is the truth -- I have been looking everywhere for .22 Mutant magazines for my newly acquired .22 Mutant Shorty. So far, the only responses I've received are scammers (which btw... there are TONS of them. It's only a matter of time before I get desperate enough or stupid enough to fall for...
