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...

I bought a variety of 22cal slugs a couple of weeks ago for the fun of seeing how well they perform out of my 23 year old AAS410. I hoped for some 1 hole groups. Though they performed decently at 25 yards, the 16gr JSB’s still beat them. The weights of the slugs ranged from 20gr to 23gr as I...

"Leopold" does not make scopes, binoculars, range finders, and spotting scopes. Leopold is a dude's first name. Leupold, a family name, on the other hand-makes all of the afore mentioned optical apparatuses(I know I spelt the plural of apparatus right on account of I dun looked it up). I was at...

I am contemplating the purchase of a new .25 cal pcp. Right now, I am interested in the FX King and the Daystate Wolverine. The max ft/lbs of the King is 80 and the Daystate is 60 ft/lbs. I'm not wanting more energy for knock down power, but for a little further reach. The question is, does the...

I bought this magazine for my Air Arms S410 in 22cal, about 25 years ago. But I don’t know from where. It hasn’t worked for quite some time. Do any of you have experience repairing these? Any suggestions before taking it apart? If I remember correctly, it had rubber belt/ring in it that failed.

What is your preference as far as looks are concerned for your rifles? In my opinion the Air Arms S510 in walnut is one of the most beautiful guns out there..zebra wood with gorgeous bluing.

I was talking to a guy today that told me his buddy consistently makes 200+ yard headshots on ground squirrels. I told him I could I only do that with my 204/223 powder burner(and even then, not consistently). He said the guy is making 0.25" to 0.50" five shot groups at 200yds. I believe the...

My last couple of times out after pest squirrels, I missed just too many easy targets, so I set up a target to see what was going on-was it the gun, the wind, or me? At both 25 and 50 yards my POI was markedly to the left. There was a decent breeze, so I switched direction and shot 180° in the...

I was in the shade of a huge valley oak enjoying a nice breakfast burrito, my tailgate was down with my AA S410 on it. I had been hunting a property for ground squirrels for a farmer friend. It feels like I’ve gone back about fifty years out here. Maybe 8 cars went by in 4 hours…no leaf blowers...

I just got off the phone with a farmer friend who is going to show me a new place to hunt pestilent ground squirrels. I can't speak for you fellers, but I would rather have an hour in a new hunting ground than a week at Disneyland. What makes it even more fun is being able to be have it all to...

I often see refurbished items on retailer inventories, how exactly are these things refurbished? Do they get sent to a manufacturer's repair facility? Sometimes I wonder if refurbished just means cleaned up and put in a new pretty box. For those of you who have experience, what do you prefer...

The most important measurement of accuracy for any of my fire arms is MOS...minute of squirrel. Anything better than that is for bragging rights at the range. This time of year MOS is a much tighter group as there are weee little juveniles running about.

My old Air Arms still delivers its packages with terrific accuracy. This model was bought in 2001 and doesn’t have a safety or a regulator, but 30 shots without adding air and still hitting what you aim at speaks for itself. I use JSB 16gr exclusively as it loves them like its first born. My

My specific questions- When was the first modern commercially manufactured pcp marketed? And by whom? What technological hurtles had to be jumped in order for the modern pcp to come around to where it is now? When and who marketed the first high quality pellets for air gunning? Could a...

We have lots of feral cats around my neighborhood. I myself am a pet owner and love my animals. I got into air gunning because of ground squirrel issues when I moved into my new house(21 years ago now) and have since done in thousands of them over the years. Lately, their have been old, sick...

Pretend you woke up this morning and found that all of your airguns and all the accessories that goes with them(including ammo) are gone. Just for the fun of it, what would you buy(all new, unused) with the following budgets, to get back in the game (gun, extra mags, compressor/pump if you go...

I’ve yet to meet anybody who is a one hobby enthusiast. Virtually all the people I meet at the range, also love their knives and/or fishing. A lot of the people I meet fishing, also love guns and knives and loud internally combusted petrol burners. My hobbies are shooting(both powder and air)...
