    Tuning New Out of the Box QB 78 --- Archer Valve vs. Original (new) in Rifle

    I want to do a few mods to increase power a bit. Is it advantageous to replace orig. valve, with Archer's valve? Is there a quality or construction difference between them that would set them apart? Should I install a new Archer's, or just remove the "linty" material from the original & use...

    Tuning Beeman QB78 Accessories

    Looking to make a few mods, but it seems that all the eBay offerings are from Europe, where shipping costs to the US can equal the cost of the product. Some had no shipping to US. Does anyone know of any companies in the US that offer QB78 aftermarket extras? I'm currently looking for a...

    Help Choosing a Rangefinder

    After some research, it seems as though any rangefinder will work when hunting with airguns. There are 100s of available ones, however, and there must be differences in performance, usability & quality. My budget is around $100 +/-. What do I look for and which do you recommend?

    Tuning Stranger Things When Cocking DAR25

    I double-chambered, but before I realized it I damaged the 2nd pellets skirt a little when I tried cocking again. Finally, I had to press & gently tap a dowel down the muzzle-nd to get both pellets out. They were the "PB-Free" Diabolo Exact Kings ... This occurred the 1st time I tried them...

    Dealer Strategy & Discounts

    Is there a way to foresee or estimate when a dealer will put a certain air gun on sale or clearance? Just wondering if it's done out of the blue, or if there is "dealer strategy" involved.

    Has Anyone Tried Slugs Or Hybrids In A DAR 25?

    Curious as to how they'll do. There's plenty of oomph, to cause decent expansion. The question is accuracy. Which companies produce the best slugs?

    O-Rings & Things

    Looking to just buy a kit. They are cheap enough. I do have a couple of questions, though: 1) I've found that the kits are sold in metric, as well as regular or conventional. Which one or both do I need? Does it matter where the gun was produced? 2) Does Harbor Freight have decent quality...

    Benjamin Fortitude's Ballistic Anomaly For Your Consideration

    I'm contemplating a Benjamin Fortitude. A video from Airgun Depot did some ballistic testing. Some info from it. (Btw, I want to use it for hunting rabbits & jacks in the desert. The jacks especially, if jumped, run and when they stop & in sight, they are 50+ away. If we do a sit & wait, we...

    I've decided

    I've decided to hold off on a C02 rifle. I have my DAR, but for me it's too bulky & hvy. (8lbs scoped) to carry on those long hilly desert hikes while jumping jacks. I'll use it for ''still hunting'' days, along w/my shooting sticks. My request is that you give me your opinions, and advice on...

    Tuning Looking For A Little More "OOMPH!"

    Seriously considering buying a Beeman (CO2) QB78D-22 ... if the "Deluxe" ever becomes available again! I want to ''jack-it-up'' a bit so I can use it for ... Uhm, jackrabbits & cottontails. Anyway, I thought that the mod below may help by adding an extra 100fps. My question is ... if I buy a...

    Tuning QB78D vs. XS-60C (CO2 in .22 cal)

    I'm planning on asking Mike Melick at Flying Dragon to do a power-tune on either a QB78 Deluxe or the XISICO XS-60C in .22 cal. I know both of these Co2 rifles are highly thought of. I know that as soon as the (.22s) are sent to Mike and as soon as the QB78D is back in stock, I can get the...
