Yep... I figured that out later. Thanks! Very interesting how these rifles work.

Thanks! I've just got to make sure I pull that bolt all the way back each time. So the part the contains the "working pressure" to push the pellet is called the "regulator," right? I mis-used the word "plenum," which I had seen but didn't really know what it was.

So, by not pulling it back all the way, the sear was not resetting, and that's why nothing fired (even though a new pellet was chambered) Is that correct? Still learning... thanks! I honestly have no idea how air rifles work. I DO know how powder burners work.

Just got back from the range and first shots. Here's the "After Action Report!" Learning some of the quirks of air rifles. With this particular rifle, I learned that there are two stages to the bolt-action. I found out that if I don't pull it back ALL the way, past what amounts to a...

Didn't get any of that.

Got neither of those. I did get this:

The case is required if you have them mount the scope. It won't fit back in the original box with the scope attached. So you "sacrifice" the original box. The scope mount and 20 shot test (with chrono printout) and leak, function testing is only $20. So I had them do it all. The stock...

Yep... already downloaded. Thanks.

Got my rifle and gear! Quick question.... I got the rifle from PA with the scope mounting and testing service. So the rifle comes in a rifle case rather than the original box. I've looked through everything, and there is no rifle owner's manual. Does the rifle not come with an owner's...

Scheduled to arrive tomorrow!

I've got a Marauder Regulated Lothar on the way. My first "real" / "grown-up" air rifle. I have never heard of the "SAM" model. Got a link? ETA: I just figured out "SAM." Semi-auto. I should hopefully have "first shots" next weekend and will report back!

Finally got shipping confirmation from PA. It was strange... I got a shipping notice from UPS for a 0.10-lb package that is on its way, even though no such notice from PA. Then today, I just got confirmation from PA for that package AND two more packages (about 20-lbs each). So, three...

Yes... UPS has an estimated delivery date and time (on this coming Wednesday). Is there a chance PA would send a partial order? I've sent an email to PA to see if I can get clarification.

That is true! Yesterday I was shooting rifle ammo that was $1.60 / round (Hornady ELD-M 6.5 Creedmoor). I have spent a LOT of money on traditional (PB) ammo over the years. ☺️ Last year, I fired 3,600 rounds of various calibers, mostly 9-mm. That was a slow year. In 2023, I fired 7,600...

Reminds me of the joke (not-a-joke): I hope that when I die, my wife doesn't sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them!

Many, myself included, do that with precision rifle shooting (centerfire). I did it today at the range with my Ruger Precision Rifle 6.5 Creedmoor. Like this: The advantage of it is that you're less likely to "milk" or "GI Joe Kung-Fu grip" and moving the gun when you press the trigger...

Very nice! What app are you using? Is it connected to a chrono?

Yep... admittedly, I was guessing. And I realized that the photo may not really reveal the alignment. Could be an "optical illusion." Plus, if it WAS correct, you'd be shooting high, not low. Soooooooo.... Let us know what you find out!

It would be the same frequency at the same places. I miiiiiiight be able to shoot the air rifle on my property (only 1 acre) without too much trouble. https://sgammo.com/catalog/rimfire-ammo-sale/22-lr-ammo/ I never implied I was "really in" the rimfire game. ;) Just regular normal...
