Not loud at all. I’ve got about 3 different types of pellets and can’t tell you anything about them. Give me a few minutes. RickH

I have a Benjamin Trail in .22 that would work to 30-40 yards but I haven’t tried it past that. I forget what scope is on it now but budget $100 for it and shop around and you should be fine. Rick H.

The 3/8 and 3/4 groups I don’t see a problem, a 1/8” difference is probably you. The 1 inch group even more so. Shoot three groups of five three times. Make sure wind isn’t blowing. Keep air pressure very close with each group. Same pellets for each. Don’t get in a rush. The problem will show...

Simplest answer for me is two sandbags. Shooting a powder burner on a bench it’s steady enough to work well at 1000 yards. Cheap too. Rick H.

FWIW I have a Maximus with a red dot that can break an egg reliably at 30 yards shooting offhand. Simple, easy and it works. This one was about $40 at WalMart. Rick H

If you want to stick to pcp then check the Gauntlet 2 in .25, mine would be very good for that. If you’re open to other possibilities I have a Benjamin Trail in .22 that would work out to around 30 yards but I haven’t shot it past that. It’s a break barrel but shoots well. Rick H.

My experience with semiauto air guns was a Crosman 500, co2 and bb’s, 15 rounds in a tube magazine. I loved it and learned a lot about shooting. I got it refurbished a few years ago and bought another from my gunsmith. They aren’t perfect but they are fun and that’s the point. Rick H.

A common problem with small businesses like this is that they make excellent products and may very well take pride in and love what they do. Meanwhile they are poor business people. Everyone wants instant gratification but the best products take time and the customer should understand that. The...

I organized my ammo storage and found a pistol I forgot I have. Rick H.

Evening everyone. I just made a terrible mistake. Two of them actually. First I cranked up some old school music to volumes in excess of neighborhood standards. Then I organized the lower section of my gun case. I found four scope rings, a red dot sight and an air pistol I forgot I had. Four...

Honestly at 175 it wouldn’t be an airgun at all. I know they are capable and at 100 or less my Gauntlet in 25 would be okay as long as I do my job but I would go for a .17hmr rimfire to be absolutely sure. BTDT in a similar situation. Rick H.

I’ve sworn not to do two things in 2015 and 2026: not buying any more RC airplanes before 2027, I have half a dozen to finish or restore already. And no more airguns this year, although I saw a few interesting rifles available at CMP last time I was there….I’m doomed. Rick H.

I have both types and my first pcp was a Benjamin Maximus. Not fast or fancy but accurate, lightweight and I can pump up to full pressure easily with a hand pump. It lives in my truck most of the time. Rick H.

The suggestion about your scope being canted was something I didn’t think of but it makes sense. Rick H

There’s no method to my madness. If I want to expand into a different caliber, type or style, I just do. Normally I have two of whatever. Rick H.

Welcome to AGN and airgun shooting. I got ack into airguns a few years ago getting some old Crosmans repaired. Now I’m up to 17 and shooting competitively with some excellent shooters. It’s addictive, enjoy. Rick H.

What are your group sizes at 50 yards? How many different types of pellets have you tried? Different types, makes and weights? My suggestion is to get a good group size with just one type of pellet at 50 and zero for the X ring. Then put air pressure back where you started and without changing...

The only time I shoot airguns with other people is in competition. The wife of one our RC club members is Olympic class. At the CMP matches there are quite a few women competing in rifle and pistol. They put in the work and the worst of the bunch is damn good. Rick H.

I’m not in any way a gun smith and looking at this just gives a headache. Rick H.

I have a restored 140 and it shoots well. Didn’t pay much for it compared to a few others in my arsenal. If you’re buying it because you want it then go for it. If you buy it as an investment you won’t be as pleased. Rick H.
