A new toy arrived today. Innovairtech asked me to test one of their guns to tell them what I think. This is "The Barracuda": It is a .357 pistol carbine type air gun that uses their pre-charged air cartridges. The barrel is 10.5" and the whole gun is 35" long. I have to say that this thing...

Do you guys think the Gamo Swarm changes anything with it being a relatively quiet 10 shot repeating 22 cal gas spring gun with enough power for small game hunting / pest control? The review I just saw on YouTube described it as a "game changer". I can understand why he would say that. The main...

PA has details of the new regulated Marauder model coming out later this year on their site now. I have to say it is looking like it might be once awesome upgrade and amazing value. Not only have they added a regulator, it apparently has an upgraded barrel which was the main issue people had...

I was just looking on the AOA site and I noticed that the Verminator was available in 30 cal. I don't recall seeing that option last time I looked at those guns or ever seeing a review of one. Are these new? I have seen reviews of the Extreme version in 30 cal but the regular one is a much...

has anyone here ever used a regular powder burner gunsmith to get non-air related work done to their PCP guns? I'm talking about stuff like fitting new barrels or triggers and things of that nature? There is only a handful of competent air-gunsmiths in America and the good ones usually have a...

Check out these new 25 cal air pistols from Innovairtech: http://www.inovairtech.com/MACP_REVOLVER_s/1867.htm These are 25 cal PCP pistols that actually look like regular powder burners and are powerful enough to hunt with... they are 5 round repeaters that use smaller versions of their...

Before you follow the crowd and order that Hawke sidewinder or Leupold, let me show you one of the other options. My new Weaver Tactical 4-20x50 FFP mil dot / mil turret arrived from Midway a few days ago so I thought I'd share some first impressions. The Tactical is part of Weaver's Super...

I found this unusual-looking air gun online while searching for something else entirely: Now.... my Russian is not nearly as good as my Mongolian but... using the universal language of looking at the pics and taking a guess, I concluded that it was a PCP bottle bullpup with caliber switching...

If anyone is looking for an awesome SFP scope bargain, someone is selling a used SWFA 3-15x42 on ebay for $475. It won't last long so somebody here should grab it. I would have bought it myself if it was the FFP model. I've decided that I'm not smart enough to use SFP scopes but I know there is...

Does anyone here have any insight into what specifically makes some guns feel super smooth and light when you pull back the side-lever while others feel just functional or even gritty? For example, the side lever on my Cricket feels ok (it's just not great). The Mutant is a little better but it...

Ok... so we all know that Chinese goods are not to be trusted. Ordering hpa products from unknown Chinese sellers is inviting death into your home but I was wondering if anything has changed on this front recently? I was just looking on Aliexpress, the spiritual home of scammers and deals that...

Approximately once per year I get struck with an inexplicable urge to build my own air rifle. Nothing too ambitious. Just assembling one from store bought custom parts. It comes on like the flu and usually results in a similar amount of headache and wasted time. There are stores that sell the...

I'm having one of those days where I wish I had a use for a $1,000+ scope so I thought I would share my scope envy with you guys. It isn't often that I see a scope in this price range and actually want it. Most are unsuitable for air guns or unsuitable for non-billionaires but I really like...

It's that time of year again gents. For those that don't know, January 18th is the official "tell Daystate how to run their business" day. An annual event where good people everywhere suspend all Daystate love for a day to tell them what they are doing wrong. I believe it is actually a public...

For reasons I'll never understand, some manufacturers charge hundreds of dollars more for mil dot reticles and some don't even have them as an option on the models you want to buy. My need for a mil dot reticle is limiting my choice of scopes and / or making me buy lower quality glass than I...

So... I kindly lent a friend my Hatsan's AT44 QE to take care of a squirrel pest control problem thing because I'm such a nice guy and I never use it anymore and my wife made me. Anyway.. so he's shooting in his garden without making any effort to be discrete (even though he's not on good...

I would like all of you to read this relatively interesting article: What pressure is best for a PCP? [S]http://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2006/06/what-pressure-is-best-for-a-pcp/embed/ It talks bout what you can achieve with low pressure PCP guns. And why is that? A while ago I tried to start...

Does anyone have any thoughts on what the best 22 cal bottle gun is or the top 3 perhaps? I feel like this is the last thing missing from my collection and it's time to correct this. I have a theory that bottle guns have greater potential for precision as the larger reservoir alllows for less...

It's time to share a new diy project for those that like that sort of thing. I just started testing my new mold for the carbon fiber stock that is going to go on all of my non-bullpup air guns for the near future. In choosing the design, I looked at what the top 50 long range target shooters...

A low down ****** scammer scum-bag just tried this one on me so I thought I'd share their new trick to make sure nobody else falls for it. It's actually quite clever. I might be impressed if my heart wasn't filled with violence and range toward them. First, they put an almost too good to be...
