    Another newbie with a question

    Hello RoaringWren, I haven't been able to shoot it outside yet. COVID-19 has pretty much shut down our municipality and I need them open to get my shooting license here in CT. Frustrating. I'm in the process of setting up a range in my basement though. The Brocock is however a very beautiful...

    Brocock Bantam Sniper XR .22

    Awesome. I just got one too in .22 with laminate finish. What a beautiful machine! It's my first air gun ever, and since I don't have a clue, and you obviously do, I'll be paying close attention. So far, put the Aztec FFP and a .25 Sumo on it. Next step: build indoor range in basement...

    Hello lancehenley1, I almost went in that direction. That FX Impact is ONE SWEET UNIT. Good job! I just ordered the new .22" Brocock Bantam Sniper XR with an Aztec Emerald 5.5-25x50 FFP scope. In the final analysis, I had to have a Bullpup. And that Brocock just jumped out at me from...

    Thanks cea1960, You're a very careful guy. Thanks for your opinion, and on behalf of your neighbors, your safety consciousness. I think you just convinced me to get a small <15 FPE pistol(.177) for the yard work, at least to get my feet wet with first. That "R" word is a nasty word indeed, and...

    Thanks JamesD, I appreciate your advice. The FX Boss looks like a very fine airgun in .30". Cheers!

    Hello Eddie_E, I think you nailed it with what I'm wanting to do here. Either you're psychic, or you're my post-operation Siamese Twin. Haha. Thank you much for that insight. Teacher, I am taking notes. Cheers!

    Hello bdzjlz, You're most welcome for my small contribution to our nation's security. You'd take your thanks back if you knew how much poker and pinochle your tax dollars paid us to play while we punched holes in the oceans. Haha. And thanks for that good information about real world of target...

    Hello Airgunmike56, Thanks for the tip about soft targets (i.e., old clothes). It'll be a good way to get the wife to buy me some new stuff too. Haha. Yes, I see where people are using rubber mulch, duct seal, etc. and I will surely try to keep that pellet impact noise down. Thanks for...

    Thanks Sonny, Interesting that FX Impact, but I think it's too much gun for me. That's a young persons airgun in my mind. It doesn't appear to be an airgun for a slow person, and my brain isn't getting any faster or sharper these days. I will have a learning curve just learning the difference...

    Hello L.Leon, You're welcome for the service, but no need for thanks. I had wanted to be a submariner since I was 10 y.o. I should have had to pay the government for the privilege. It was not unlike being in the Boy Scouts, except we got to play with REALLY expensive "toys". I appreciate your...

    Hello jheikkila, Thanks for your response and the perspective on power output over caliber. That makes intuitive sense to me. Also, the friendliness and tune-ability of the stock Dreamline sounds good, which i also was hoping I was getting right. Sumo or above .. got it! Big bore is down the...

    Hello folks. (1st post) Newbie to air guns, 62 years young, retired Navy submariner and former commercial nuclear operator. Relaxing (compared to before) working with an Emergency Planning group now. Alas, I'm an old NRA guy ready to take the plunge into the airgun pool. I've studied the...
