    Best Groundhog ammo?

    I have a .25 pcp (hatSan vectis) and I’m wondering what is the best ammo to use for groundhogs? It groups well with both slugs and pellets. I have polymags and h/n slugs that both group nearly equal. Thoughts and opinions welcome

    Groundhog control options

    I’m wondering what the best option for groundhog control would be. I have a .25 Hatsan vectis and 2 different .22 or rifles. All are scoped. The vectis is probably the most accurate of the 3 and is easily the most rugged and least valuable. Will the vectis effectively kill a groundhog? I...

    Best .22 break barrel?

    I have an fwb 124 that I use for fun, plinking and targets. Also have a .177 marauder. I want a .22 and I want a break barrel. I want .22 mainly for possibly killing pests, maybe up to a raccoon size. Break barrel because of the ease of decocking. I’d be shooting at most 30 yards. Given all...

    Which would you pick and why?

    I have found myself with more scopes than rifles so I am going to sell one and keep one. Between these two which would you pick and WHY would you pick it? It’s going on a .177 marauder, mostly target amd plinking but occasional hunting and pesting. Max range is around 35 yards. scooe 1...

    Anything better than a bugbuster?

    I’m wanting a small, light scope for my springer. Short range, no more than 20 yards and able to focus up close. I have a peep on it now. Just wondering if the bugbuster is the best option, I’d like to keep the cost under $200.

    Astigmatism and red dots and optic recommendations

    I’m wondering if anybody has any first hand experience with astigmatism and using a red dot or reflex optic? I’ve read various articles about it, how it can make a red dot seem blurry, but I haven’t heard from anybody first hand. I have a break barrel that I’d like to put some kind of small...

    [WTS] WTS Sightron SIH field target 4x12/40 scope with MOA reticle and BKL rings

    I’ve decided my fwb 124 will be my “close range” and I’m going to use the Beeman peep sight that came with it. I’ve no need for an extra scope so it was either sell this or buy another rifle. This is the SIH field target series, it adjusts down to under 8 yards and is very clear and crisp...

    Fwb 124 and copper pellets = bad?

    I’ve been shooting my 124 a lot more lately, trying out lots of different pellets and trying to find the best one. Today I was shooting an HN multi pack “hunting pellets” assortment. Every thing going well until I shot the copper Power pellets, the rifle sounded odd. It’s hard to describe but...

    Recommend a handgun for me?

    I have a John Wayne Colt SAA smoothbore, it’s fun but I’d like something maybe a little more accurate. I’d like either a blowback semiauto or a double action revolver, I think I want a rifled bore (unless they aren’t any more accurate) and I’d like something realistic. Im thinking right now...

    Maybe I have some droop?

    I have an fwb 124 and at 30 yards my scopes elevation is maxed out and standard weight .177 pellets still hit about an inch low. Does this mean I have barrel droop? If so, would a shim in the rear help? I’d rather not buy a new mount as the current mounts are the only ones I’ve tried that...

    Fwb 124/ Williams fp-ag sight question

    As the title states, I have a beeman peep sight on my 124, which is the Williams fp-ag peep. I wanted to replace the elevation set screw with a knurled Gibbs screw but what I bought from brownells is too long. It’s the correct thread and supposedly the right part but it hits the rifles tube...

    Explain the physics behind the hold? Springer shooting bench vs off hand

    I was out shooting my fwb 124 today, despite the stay at home orders I haven't been shooting as much as I'd like. My 124 is mainly my "under 20 yards" rifle and I'm debating putting the beeman peep back on but for now I'm using a scope. Benched/rested I am getting single hole 10 shot groups...

    Mrod issue?

    My .177 mrod field/target started having issues cocking, it would randomly not cock. I would pull it out of the stock, look it over, it would cock fine and when reinstalling it would work for a bit and then stop again. I took it apart again today and found a pellet in the trigger group. I can...

    Tell me about the marauder pistol

    I have a .177 field/target marauder that I love and I’m considering getting a pistol now. How similar or dissimilar are the two? What should I expect from the pistol version as far as shot count and accuracy? How easy are they to mod? I’ve seen some with AR style stocks that look great...

    Feedback Poor selling experience

    I recently had a kral for sale and received several interested responses. I sold it according to time stamp of the first person who gave a definitely agreed on price. The buyer complained immediately on opening, saying there were scratches and residue (from a rubber gasket I used for a cheek...

    I have to show off my daughter’s skills!

    So for multiple reasons I’ve never tried to get my daughter into shooting (mainly my wife disagreeing but that’s an entire thread to itself). Things have finally worked out and I’ve been teaching her some basics, turns out she’s better than me! I started her off with my .177 marauder field...
