I just got an ad on Facebook for a giant closeout sale at Leupold. When I clicked on the link it, it took me to what seems like Leupold's home site, but everything is being sold at 79% off. That is just too good to be true. I wonder how many poor sods are falling for this? I saw something...

It seems illuminated reticles are all the rage nowadays. I suspect a lot of manufacturers are putting a lot of advertising $ into making the the illuminated reticles a major selling point on their scopes. For example, in looking at the choices for reticles with the Titan line of Element scopes...

In 25 years of airgunning I have never accidentally double loaded my chamber...until today. I was zeroing with 37gr Wildman slugs in my new FX King, my main pressure was higher than my regulator(125bar), so I thought I would be good to get a zero, then fill the tank and commence to sniping...

How can a scope or a pair of binoculars cost less than my new eye glasses? Today I spent over 5 C notes to get new prescription lenses put into my frames. There is one piece of plastic per lens in my glasses made with what I assume is a computer controlled lens cutter, and I would not be...

I have some H&N 22cal Precision 34gr slugs on back order at Pyramid, but it could be few weeks before they come in. In the meantime, if you know of source, I'm interested.

How do the regulator/macro adjustment/micro adjustment wheel work together? If I change the regulator setting, does that have anything to do with the power at the muzzle? If so, how does that work? I watched a video in which a guy who was showing how to tune a Panthera, said that the macro wheel...

I'm of the opinion that scopes(new) in the $400 to $800 range are where the best bang for the buck are living. That being said, I made the mistake of shopping around and found the Zeiss Conquest V4's focus from 10yds to infinity, but they are in $1,200 price range! I have absolutely no reason to...

How long did it take for you to learn this lesson? I'm always looking for that "Goldilocks" sweet spot when it comes to buying...just about everything. I've been through it with stereos, fishing gear, camera/photgraphy gear, and of course shooting/airgunning. One example that comes to mind was...

Way back when I first got into airgunning, my go to shop was "Straight Shooters." I had several very productive conversations on the phone with the owner and purchased my RWS Air King and my Air Arms S410 and a bunch of pellets as well, from him back in the early 2000's. Just wondering how many...

I know of two pb gun manufacturers that send a test target with their guns...Anschutz and Cooper. I just wonder if any of the airgun makers do the same? I have two Anschutz rimfire rifles and they came with a test target.

Are any of you finding a significant difference in accuracy and/or velocity with the differing sizes of the same weight slugs? And do any of the pellets come in these variationsI Considering the price of slugs, it can become costly to do a comparison. With respect to hunting, what size groups...

What slugs- brand, caliber, weight, gun are giving you good and consistent accuracy? At what distance(s) do you usually shoot them? By accuracy, I think I probably really mean precision- as in least amount of fliers and tight groups(moa or smaller)? How many shots per group are you shooting?

The POI at 50yds with a Leupold EFR VX-3HD 6.5-20x40 on my new FX-King was a good 3” high even with the elevation adjustment down as far as it would go. So I switched it with the Meopta that was on my Air Arms S410. I took the AA to the range today to see if it too had the same problem using...

I switched to my Meopta after a disappointing start with the new Leupold shooting 2” high at 50 yds even with the elevation maxed out. I got dialed in and practiced with 34 gr and 25gr Wildman slugs. I was shooting from a pair of sticks, and there was a fair amount of wind, so I feel certain I...

A man in a brown uniform just delivered this in time for the weekend…FX King in 22cal, brown GRS stock. I will be mounting the scope(Leupold)VX-3 HD 6.5-20 fine duplex) tonight and heading out to the range tomorrow. More pics to follow.

I just got through placing my order for a new 22cal FX King with a brown GRS stock and 600mm barrel. Right now my questions for the members here are- does FX have comprehensive owners manual's for their guns, and what moderator(if you use one) and why do you use on yours, and did you like the...

Some scopes seem to have reticles that take up almost the entire sight picture. I don't have a clue how they work, or even if they are very useful for anything other than adding bells and whistles in order to sell more scopes. Personally, I prefer a fine duplex with a super small dot and a few...

I have been an amateur photographer since the 70's and as such image quality has always been at the top of my list of what I want/like most in a scope. I find that looking through scopes at a shop is of very little use as one can only hand hold a scope in that situation and look around the shop...

Whenever I buy supplies for reloading, I buy bullets which look exactly like slugs to my eyes. I was under the impression that a slug was a saboted projectile and that a bullet was what we call the projectile from a modern smokeless powder burner. Is it half a dozen of one and six of another? I...

What are some of your airgun rookie mistakes that you learned from? For example, I learned that you get what you pay for. If you are into quality, then don't get the gun that comes in a box on isle 7 next to the gym shorts at Big Five and put a $20 scope on it expecting it to last. I also...
