    Crosman customer service

    I had a few impulse buys over the holidays including a 30mm tube side-focus scope directly from Crosman. When it showed up, I was not thrilled with the amount of effort it took to turn the magnification ring. Worse yet, the focus ring was BARELY turntable. My fiance could not turn it at all. It...

    Wow, BIG Crosman savings

    For anyone interested, Crosman just slashed their prices on many of their popular models again as of about 1 AM this morning. Want to try a NP2 starting at just over $47 new? Or a Benjamin Trail or Summit NPE or NP2 in synthetic or hardwood in many variations just over $90 with free shipping...

    Crosman/Benjamin NP/NP2/NPE's still on deep discounts right now

    I thought this was only for Black Friday week but it looks like their sales are still going. Considering those wood-stock Trail NP2's usually sell for over twicethat much, I would say that's a steal for anyone looking for one. PT

    A Discovery Optics story (warranty and "new" model)

    So about two months ago I found a Benjamin Summit NP2 .22 online at a great price (new), only one left in stock and couldn't say no. While shopping for scopes, I decided to take one of the Discovery (VT-R 4-16x42) scopes that I had on a different NP rifle and transplant it onto the new Benjamin...

    Holy recoil

    Well, I swapped mods on my Benjamin Summit .22 this weekend, and today I figured I would put it through it's paces... And after one shot, this happened all at once: Epoxy coating blew off the back of the mod. Stop ring for the parallax adjustment blew off the back of the adjustment ring...

    Interesting read (legal)

    Might set another precedent for airguns depending which side of the fence this falls on. https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/alex-madajian/veteran-convicted-brandishing-bb-gun-now-challenges-law PT

    Crushed scope tube

    I swapped a scope out the other day and noticed something. It seems that I crushed the tube on my Discovery VT-R (on both ends under the previous rings). Apparently I need to invest in a good torque-driver. Interestingly, the parallax and magnification adjustments all still work like new...

    Advice please.

    I just acquired a brand-new (and also discontinued) Benjamin Summit. It is basically a NP2 gun with different furniture. The thing is, I can not get this thing to lock up to save my life. Haven't fired a single shot out of it. Something is off. This is not my first go-around with a...

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    I'm scratching my head on this. I have multiple questions at the end of this so please bear with me. The quick backstory is, I recently disassembled and re-assembled a new-ish Crosman NP break-barrel (added a mod, carbon-fiber shroud, different scope mount, stock re-finish, etc). Today I took it...

    Mod finally showed up... Gotta laugh, here's a story

    So... I ordered a custom-built mod last month from overseas, from someone who had good providence from online research that I did. The intention from the start was permanently attaching it to my AIRGUN barrel assuming it worked for my needs (keeping the neighbor happy and also keeping things...

    Counterfeit scope on Amazon?

    Buyer beware for anyone new to this brand that may not be aware... The seller, "TERMINATOR CHN" is a brand new seller that "just launched" on Amazon. Whoever it is, they are trying to sell a "Discovery" scope that does not seem to exist. The only other place I could find it was aliexpress...

    Brick wall? (Opinion)

    I am wondering if we are seeing an end to exciting pellet designs. A lot of people (including myself) seem to be interested in the JSB Hades is various calibers, and of course there are the slug posts for those itching to see the latest in who/when/where mass-produces the next offering... But...

    WTS: Custom pellet traps

    I have a very good medium that works VERY well for gauging penetration as well as acting as a pellet trap for indoor/outdoor airgun shooting with NO metal ricochet. Pellets can penetrate several layers and expansion can be seen whether or not they fall out of it, or stay lodged in it. Pellets...

    Beechwood ideas...

    I'm in "winter project mode" right now. I am ALMOST done with a sythetic stock project, and soon starting the next. I will be having a beechwood stock sent to me in the next week or so, and I am looking for some ideas on different techniques for stripping the finish, and deciding what kind of...

    Gamo Rockets...

    I bought a tin of these recently in .177 (9.6 gr). I wanted free shipping on other items from a retailer so I added these on which basically made them "free." First impressions: They aren't that bad as far as accuracy, I was expecting worse overall but they actually group. Not as good as some...

    Another Discovery torture test

    Stumbled across a relatively recent video that I had not seen before. "Test" starts at 7:23 in the video. The guy was literally hammering the table, still holds zero after. https://youtu.be/SynxKexF2Tw PT

    Bubble levels / anti-cant... Thoughts?

    So, I had a free credit to use with an online retailer and I didn't have a "need," but I had a want. So I applied it to a anti-cant bubble-level to mount on my scope. I've never used one before, but in theory they seem to make sense. My intention is improving my accuracy to the maximum, so my...

    Discovery Optics VT-R 4-16x42 AOE

    I received my new Discovery Optics 4-16x42mm scope in the mail today. I'll get to the meat of it in a moment, but first a few comments as to HOW it arrived to me. I purchased this one via Amazon for $69.99. But whoever works in the Amazon DC that packaged this for shipping needs to be smacked...
