    Hawke Airmax or Sightron S-Tac?

    I am looking for a lower power variable scope for pesting on a Weihrauch HW97K in 0.25" caliber. I am debating the Airmax in 2x7-32 or possibly 3x9/4x12-40 against the S-Tac 3x16-42. The S-Tac is easily twice the cost but, I would rather get the "right" scope over saving ~$100 or so. My pests...

    Bummer, Krale misaddressed my HW 97K ...

    I live in Texas and had my Krale order of ~$800 with my HW 97K in 0.25 delivered to a town with the same name in Pennsylvania. Imagine my disappointment at getting the UPS delivery notification only to see it was delivered in a different timezone, ~9AM locally and delivered at 9:50AM. 😭

    Pard NV007V Clip-on Night Vision Scope compatible with 32mm lens?

    I am looking at the Sightron S1 1.75-5x32 scope for my HW 97K and wonder if a Pard NV007V Clip-on Night Vision Scope is compatible. The Pard website suggests only 40mm scope objectives are covered.

    Weihrauch HW97 K needs a mount and scope!

    I am getting Weihrauch HW97 K in 0.25"/6.35mm caliber. I need a hunting scope that is reasonable for this rifle along with its mount. Longest expected shots of any frequency are going to be 50' or less. I don't see any shots over 30 yards (90') in my future and that really gets me into PCP...

    HW/Weihrauch Weihrauch HW97 K with 0.25 pellets?

    While I would prefer something with fixed sights as opposed to scope only, this Weihrauch HW97 K in 0.25 looks good. How does it perform in real life? What other ~$650USD non-PCP air rifles in 0.25 should I consider against this one? Or, would I be better off with a 0.22 version with easier...

    Other HW30/R7 in .177 or .22?

    I am looking for a light easy to use plinker to go with the HW95 Magnus from Krale. I find the 0.177 pellets to be a bit fiddly to load into an air pistol I have with just a port to reach the chamber. A break barrel will give me much easier access but, those tiny pellets are still a little...

    How does the HW 30S compare to the HW 50S? 0.22 versus 0.25?

    I ended up looking on Krale's site for options. For reasons I don't understand, Krale even with shipping, is a lot cheaper than vendors in the USA! If I am missing a good vendor tor these rifle, please let me know. In summary for anyone who has not read my other thread, I live in a rural area...

    Hill hand pump @$200?

    I'm not filling large tanks and don't have any bottle air rifles. Is the Hill hand pump a reasonable option for someone who doesn't deplete their air rifle air supply every day? A $300 air compressor that breaks and can't be repaired is not an option so, the next increment fo rme would be a GX...

    Need a low power air pistol, or possibly a rifle. What to get in today's market?

    I need a modest power .177 pellet pistol or small rifle. I prefer to avoid PCP options but, could work with one if I really need to. I need enough power to kill small predators without damaging surrounding things, I will be shooting at modest distances, under 20' a lot of the time, and rarely...

    Adjustable power bullpup style air rifle options?

    In the past, I have considered the Brocock Compatto and FX Wildcat but, I opted for an Air Arms air rifle at the time. I am looking for something more compact today with a variable power level. I have a preference for a good magazine option but, a single load air rifle is acceptable if it is...

    Daystate Huntsman power with the regulator?

    How adjustable is the power on the .177 caliber Huntsman? Everyone says up to 18ft/lbs. What power adjustment does this air rifle have? Specifically, when shooting in barns and around buildings, I want less power. If I could turn it down to ~5ft/lbs, I could shoot in my house over Winter for...

    10M air pistol? FWB, Steyr, Walther, ...

    I'm looking to purchase a 10M PCP air pistol. I don't have much experience except with an old FWB 65. I wear a medium-sized glove and I am right-handed and right eye dominant. I'm thinking this will make me pretty easy to 'fit' with a quality air pistol. Pilk Guns dominate most discussions...

    Tuxing or some other ~$1K PCP air compressor like the Omega?

    TUXING 4500PSI 300Bar PCP Air Compressor on Aliexpress Auto-purge (yea or nay)? Better model in their store? Regarding performance, durability, and ease of use, am I better off spending a few hundred more to get an Omega from AoA, or, is this Tuxing just as good or better for less? I live in...

    Good modern hand pumps for our PCP rifles and pistols? Or, cheap air compressor?

    I'm starting to look again at hand pumps for my PCP rifles and a pistol I'm looking to buy. Hill and FX seem to have updated their hand pumps. Where are things with affordable compressors these days? Before I dive into the hand pumps again, I'm trying to figure out the air compressor...

    10m PCP air pistol model guide?

    I have been looking online (Krale, AoA, Pilkguns, etc.) at various 10m pistol options at price points starting ~$800USD to >$2K. It is pretty hard to differentiate the models and understand the price differences remotely. This had me searching for information to break down things like Walther...

    Krale from the Netherlands today? Good, bad, other?

    I'm debating an order from Krale. How are they during the current craziness with all the COVID impacts? I am looking at options above $800 so, what should I expect with surcharges from UPS and US Customs? TIA, Sid

    Bullpup air rifles? Which one? FX Wilcat, Kalibr, Brocock, ...

    For cheap plinking and close shots, I'm thinking something like a Diana AM03 in 0.177. However, longer shots on larger varmints or predators, I'm thinking either a 0.22 or 0.25 PCP. I want something that isn't overly long and has the center of gravity between my hands or farther back. This...

    Diana AM03 Stealth N-TEC Combo .177?

    Diana AM03 Stealth N-TEC Does anyone own one of these? How does it compare to similar price point options with a mounted scope? I have had my dominant shoulder rebuilt so, I need to avoid really heavy cocking efforts, odd angles and reaches, and overly heavy rifles. I am looking for informal...
