    Help to identify an air rifle.

    It's a Daisy Model 25 but the members who know way more about them will have to chime in to give you a better idea on how old it might be.

    N/A Scopes and gas rams?

    Vantage as already mentioned is only supposed to hold up on 12fpe or less springers. Didn't know that myself when I bought quite a few of them and so far, they've all held up well on everything from the 15-20fpe springer and gas ram rifles I have them on. They're also all IR versions and have...

    Hatsan Hatsan 125 5,5mm vortex spring

    The Vortex rams I've tinkered with have all said Max pressure 150 Bar and not to fill them over that. I've never owned the bigger 125 or 135, but at least in the Model 95's and 87QE's I've had, they were all set right around 125 Bar, so just a wild guess on my part but to get the higher power of...

    Hatsan New Mod 95 Vortex

    I have one in .22 I got from Midway USA as what they call a "Blemished" item. Turned out to be a return by another member of GTA after he shot it a whole 3 times and decided it was harder to cock than he thought it would be. It's the QE version but no complaints from me since it was only $118...

    Hatsan New Mod 95 Vortex

    Still own the Model 95 .25 that was my first rifle getting back into shooting 9 years ago although now it's spring powered and yep, the Turkish Walnut stocks are very nice. Couple things that might help: - One of the best things I learned was from a very good friend on another forum. The...

    Gamo Magnum Gen3i scope size

    One to at least consider, springer rated, under $100 and rings are included. I own one and although early yet, seems to be holding up well. https://www.opticsplanet.com/wulf-optics-fireball-3-9x40-ao-rifle-scope-1in-tube-second-focal-plane.html The Hammers line would be another. You can find...

    .22 CPHPs, Sweet Plinking and Pesting Goodness…

    And at least from just looking at their website, they do in .177...lol https://www.walmart.com/ip/Crosman-6177-Wadcutter-Pellets-177-Pellet-Lead-Wadcutter-Pellet-250-Per-Tin/20753519?from=/search

    .22 CPHPs, Sweet Plinking and Pesting Goodness…

    I actually work at a Walmart here in NY. Don't often get near sporting goods but I'll have to make time to stroll by and see what if anything is in the case.

    Mediocre guns...we have all bought 1 or 2

    You saw it, there was something about it you like so you took a chance and bought it. Safe bet you already knew you'd get one of 2 things: - 1: A surprise because it turned out to be a good shooter out of the box - 2: Not surprised because you got what part of you was expecting to get when you...

    HW/Weihrauch Matching caliber to rifle, Weihrauch style...

    Honestly never gave it much thought...lol. Don't own a 50 but I've got a pair of Beeman R7's in .177 and .20, an R9 in .20 and an HW95 in .22. They all shoot very well. Right, wrong, somewhere in the middle?? They fit my wants and that's all that matters at least to me :)

    Crosman Break barrel question

    Crosman Customer service is actually pretty good along with prices, but you have to have the part numbers for what you want since they won't look them up for you. Parts look identical because in most cases they are...lol. Crosman tends to use the exact same action/power plant and just change the...

    Crosman Break barrel question

    Ok let's try it this way. The Crosman Fire and F4 except for minor cosmetic differences are the same rifle. Here's the Parts List for the Fire:

    Crosman Break barrel question

    Random guess but looks just like what's called the Crosman F4 here in the US. Likely the same rifle except for the lower powered ram/piston setup and named F11 because of it. https://www.crosman.com/f4-177

    N/A Air rifle suggestions?

    As suggested above, talk to Mike at Flying Dragon Air Rifles. The B26 is a very good copy of the HW95/Beeman R9 and if he wants a little more power, the B28 is a clone of the Diana 350. Both can be had in .22 and Mike will tune them any way you want him to. There's also the B25 which is the D34...

    Crosman Break barrel question

    Not illegal but you have to have a license for the full powered versions. If yours is shooting under 500 fps, it was likely built that way to keep the power restricted for non-licensed buyers/users. You'd have to do a side by side parts comparison of both your under 500 fps version and the full...

    Beeman Beeman R10 Carbine

    Here's a 3rd and one you should recognize since you were beyond kind enough to sell me the 1989 Santa Rosa R10 .20 I'm the new keeper of.

    Used and/or refurbished?

    Everyone of these was bought used, whether from fellow members, Ebay sellers and one from AoA. I've got others, never had any issues with those either. Nowadays, I tend to stick with guns bought from fellow members. They're totally honest about what they're selling, you'll get a good deal and a...

    N/A What " One gun " to buy

    Springer twang can be eliminated. If you can tear into a PCP which is way more complicated, to repair what needs to be and tune to how you want one, you can easily learn to do the same thing with a springer which has way less parts to potentially fail. HW90 or the Beeman versions? They're...

    How Often do you shoot ALL your guns ? For those with many airguns

    Way easier with my springers. Just grab the rifle, a tin of pellets and go shoot. Nothing else needed unless I want to hang a target or 2.
