Short version: JSB and others now offer very high mass and high ballistic coefficient .177 cal pellets and slugs. What are people's experiences shooting them? What barrels shoot them well? Any experiences with the FX STX liners? I'm thinking particularly JSB Exact Beast Diabolo .177 Cal...

So this is something I stumbled across completely by accident when playing with an AAA Slayer .308. If you've ever shot one, or seen one shot, it is obvious that they have a distinct and surprisingly loud tube ping. I was working on a mod for it, and stumbled across this completely by accident...

So if you're like me, you're curious about how things work and you know that looking down a barrel to get an idea of the bore is like trying to pick out a table top by holding your eye parallel to it; something is lost when looking at an oblique angle. So I put a borescope down it. While I was...

Anyone ever seen or handled one of these? https://www.nabahu.com/ I stumbled across them while researching something completely different. They list two UK dealers, but neither of their websites list any Nabahu rifles. https://www.rangeandcountry.co.uk https://www.drapers-airguns.co.uk/ ...

Items Included (with prices I paid for each): Air Arms S510 Extra FAC Super Lite in .22 w/ the poplar stock – 1,000$ Original owners manual 3 Factory Magazines – 80$ (40$ each, one came with the rifle) RC Machine (Richard Carroll) Single Shot Tray – 20$ Rings – 30$? Hawke Sport Optics Sidewinder...

The short version: I got THIS, it works so far, it isn't bad speed-wise, and it cost 695$ plus shipping and it didn't require me to purchase any additional fittings (although I did anyway). I will continue to update this review, hopefully for years, as I use this booster and have more insights...

So I'm not Cal Zant, nor am I in any way affiliated with PRS blog, however I am an avid reader (and shoot precision rifles as well) and I find his data-driven analysis of pretty much everything precision shooting related to be invaluable. This particular post seemed like it'd have some...

To be honest, every single HPA compressor out there has some record of someone having killed it. Unfortunately I just don't think any of them are as reliable as, say, a good lawn tractor. Why exactly I can't say, but I guess I can add to the list of people who've had a Nomad II compressor die. ...

So I've been doing a lot of research into moderator design and performance. I spend a lot of time listening to airgun shots over and over again, and one thing with the Crown that kept coming up over and over again is this faint "ring" with every shot, irrespective of the moderator. When I got...

So I'm a fan of the FX Crown, what can I say. It is just my opinion, but I feel like it has captured a certain elegance of design the Impact lost by being just a little bit too complicated. Anyway I just got my hands on one of the new "Value Priced" Crowns which are considerably cheaper than...

Some of you may be familiar with my project to try and take the bark off my FX Crown. For those that aren't, that ongoing saga can be found HERE. After completing the big comparative test of all the common brands of moderators out there, I wanted to experiment with some more unusual moderator...

Night vision is a complicated and somewhat opaque topic. There is very little in the way of good comparative data and standards on the subject, and individual optics are expensive enough very few people have “lots” so can do a serious and unbiased comparison. Furthermore photography in the dark...

I don't know if this is an appropriate topic, so please delete it if I was wrong to start it, however the MP .22 slug moulds which seem to be so in demand have been restocked: https://www.mp-molds.com/index.php?option=com_eshop&view=product&id=133&catid=26&Itemid=142 *edit* I tried...

This is all done. Mods please lock the thread. I realize I'm making an absolutely outrageous request here: I'm asking to BORROW airgun moderators from total strangers to test them for sound levels. My hope is to get as many as possible together for one big comparative test. All of this...

So there are a couple of guys who make and sell what is essentially a swaging die to resize pellets. This seems to be the most popular example, by sales numbers, I could find: https://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Original-TTS-Pellet-Sizers-for-all-air-rifle-pellets/132043609188? I searched this forum...

So if you're looking for a punchline, the design files are available for free download HERE. They'll probably be updated over time as things are added and tweaked, so it is my request you don't re-host them, they'll always be available free there so just come back to the source code. So...

This is one of those things I assumed someone else had done, but couldn't find one, so I built one myself. Fun little project. I wanted something for hunting which could hold a card with my holds for the various ranges/bait stations so I didn't have to go fishing for a piece of paper in the dark...

The title pretty much says it. I'm looking for some sort of adapter that'd attach to a sling swivel stud (such as this https://www.amazon.com/Uncle-Mikes-Swivel-2-Inch-4-Inch/dp/B002E6T1NU) on one side and have the standard Arca Swiss dovetail plate on the other side. All this so I can mount my...

I live in New England. It is cold here this time of year, sometimes I'll be out shooting and it is below freezing. I've put a few tins through my FX Crown, and the reg has broken in nicely sitting at 130BAR and filling quickly after each shot now. Nothing out of the ordinary. However, on some...

Jump to the latest test results for commercial designs, updated on 4/15/19, HERE. ^This is the big test, featuring 0dB, Huggett, Clague, DonnyFL, TKO, Ramus, and more. Jump to the latest experiments with a .30 cal, updated on 5/6/19, HERE. I'm trying to collect all this information in one...
