Today, I received an email from Shane at AoA. My gun had a leak at the end of the cylinder that they repaired. They then aired it up and let it sit for a week to verify the repair. It should ship out today on the way back to me. I am well pleased with the service and communication. Looking...

January 26, I took the plunge and paid $1700 for a Ranger XR from AoA. When it arrived, I found that it lost air pressure fairly quickly. It took me a bit to realize just how busy AoA was and figure out how their customer service operated. Once I removed my head from my fifth point of contact...

I received my adapter to fill my Ranger XR yesterday. Filled the gun and shot it twice, just to see how well the moderator worked. Noticed today that it was quite a bit under the full line on the guage. Thinking I didn't quite get it full, I went back to the scuba tank and filled it to the top...

Last weekend after a bit of debit card confusion, I was able to order from ZAN. Several email updates later, I got an email on Thursday informing me that my package was almost to my house. It arrived well boxed and padded with no damage to the several tins of pellets. Absolutely outstanding service!

My Brocock Ranger XR arrived yesterday. I had just enough time to unbox it after a sixteen hour shift. My complaints are nitpicky, but here goes. The cocking lever rests atop my knuckle. I'll have to figure out a solution to this. The folding stock has a slight wiggle when locked. Minor, but...

My Ranger XR came in today. The included fill probe has male threads on the air supply end. My current set up is a quick connect for a Benjamin Marauder and a Brocock Bantam. What do I need to mate the fill probe to the quick connect. I see a couple of options on AOAs website, but I still can't...

After ordering a rifle from AOA, I discovered I did not have an appropriate scope. Back to their website to find that the MTC Mamba 3-10x40 was on sale. Listed as a side focus scope. It arrived today and there is no side focus and the objective is not adjustable. To top it off, the adjustment...

Last night, I tried ordering several tins of pellets from Zan. Surprisingly, my debit card was declined. As soon as I left the Zan website, I received an email fraud alert from my bank. Apparently, ordering from Slovenia caused a red flag. After a phone call with a nice lady, I was able to clear...

I took the new Bantam out today for a bit. At 25 yards, the groups ran from .475 to .686. Measured from the outside edges of the two shots farthest apart. Pellets used were JSB Exact Jumbo Express 14.35 grain. I weighed them and shot groups with 14.3 and 14.4 grain pellets which seemed equally...

Baker Airguns had a sale and I got my Bantam today. Does anyone know if a single shot tray is standard equipment? Mine did not come with one and I want to test the gun that way for accuracy. I mounted a Vortex Crossfire 6-18 scope, so I'm ready to shoot tomorrow.

Not long ago, I posted a question about the Brocock Compatto. After reading all the comments, I raised a few more dollars and I have just ordered a Bantam Hi-Lite in 22 caliber. Thanks for the advice and feedback. I already have rings and a new Vortex scope.

This forum seems populated by some very serious shooters. This led me to wonder how the members here came to be serious airgun shooters. For me it was an effort to regain some enjoyment after a particular stressful year. Powder burners just were not fun any more. I have no desire to insult or...

Looking for opinions and experiences on the Compatto. I want a 22 caliber gun now. Accuracy is the prime factor.

Due to next week being my week of in-service training, I am off today. I took the Marauder out and managed to find a few pigeons. I only got one shot as the others headed out of the county at impact. The one I settled on was about 35 yards or so away. One to the head and he fluttered down. I'm...

I'm certain that air gun shooters are as frugal as other shooters. I just finished the top to a new shooting bench and thought I'd share. Can Am dealers receive their ATVs and Side x Sides in wooden crates. The local dealer gives this wood away. That's what I am using. So far, my only true cost...

After a suggestion to try heavier pellets in my Marauder I purchased a variety. Accuracy with two of them was markedly better than with the ones I tried first. My questions: 1 Are they subject to accuracy differences due to lot differences? 2 Should I weight sort them? This is certainly an...

The skies were blue with no rain for a change. Temp was about 45 or so. On recomendations of board members and a couple of Youtube videos, I tried different pellets. AA 8.4 grain and JSB 8.44 grain Exact Diabolo gave groups at 25 between half and three quarters of an inch for ten shots. I'm...

Greetings from rainy Georgia. I appreciate all of the answers I've gotten here. I'm sure I covered some well plowed ground when I asked, but everyone has been helpful. I have pellets to test and a reliable way to fill my gun. Now, if some of you enablers can send some free time and sunny weather...

Thought I would add a cheap EBAY pump to my fill options. It arrived today. Got it all assembled. I think the assorted O-rings are for a rebuild, right? Anyway, when pumping it, the pump pressure guage gets up to the start of the green area and then there is a release of air and pressure drops...

Being an instructor has a few advantages. Notably, access to the department range with no one around. Yesterday was my first chance to shoot my new Marauder in 177 caliber. I shot at 25 yards from a bipod and sandbag. The best two groups were around 3/4 inch at 25 yards for ten shots. I...
