If shooting off a rest I think you'd have better luck folding up a towel or something softer that lightly wraps the stock. Should help keep things a little more stationary while aiming. You can order pellet samplers from straightshooters.com which is a great way to see what your gun prefers...

How is the gun being supported? Have you tried any other brands of pellet? Alan

Assuming you're shooting a PCP and not a springer then the field is wide open. I've been very happy with the Nikon Prostaff I put on my rimfire. Check the specs on Nikon's site however since some only focus down to 50 yards. Mueller scopes seem to be well thought of too and are reasonably...

You can buy a .177 pellet sampler from straightshooters.com, which is what I did when I got my RWS 34 springer. I shot 5 shot groups with each pellet included in the sampler and was amazed a the variation. Beeman Kodiak 10.65 grain were by far the most preferred by my gun. To illustrate how it...


That is absolutely true. I would love to have a supressor on my Savage but it's not legal in Iowa even if I did want to jump through the hoops and spend the money. If I didn't have access to private shooting land and a normally empty range within 10 minutes of my house I'd probably be fondling...

I didn't take into account the higher priced match ammo which can vary from a little higher to a lot higher. My Savage will shoot sub 1/2" groups at 50 yards pretty consistently with CCI standard velocity ($.10/round) and from what I've read thought that compared pretty well to what most people...

I was thinking about this the other day. Figured it would cost me $2000 (likely more) to get a real nice .25 PCP, air tank, and accessories but no pellets. That same $2000 would buy me 20,000 rounds of quality .22 ammo at current prices. .25 caliber pellets look to be about 1/2 the cost of .22...

I've recently discovered air rifles and rimfire and have wondered the same. I paid the same price for my Savage MK II BV rimfire as I did for my .22 Discovery and pump. The Discovery struggles to shoot empty .22 shells at 28 yards. The Savage has an easier time shooting them at 50 yards. The...

Was your gun empty when you received it? Mine had about 1000 psi in it and I've found it takes around 60 pumps to go from 1000-2000 psi. My pump also had some slightly loose connections (could hear air hissing from them when pumping) that really slowed things down at first. Alan

Search for two and three screw trigger mods for the Discovery. I was a bit leary of doing it but it was much easier than I thought and made a world of difference. I'm down to 1.75 pounds with virtually no creep and virtually no money spent except for a couple screws. I also swapped out the rear...

A little off subject but since we're comparing bipods any opinions of how the Harris bipods fit into the mix? Seem to be a little less than half the price of the Atlas but have a strong following and, I assume, a quality product. Just been wondering what makes the Atlas worth a premium over the...

I've been trying to avoid paper with my Discovery .22 because it's too frustrating to see one or two a bit off the mark so I've been shooting "things" instead. Like the rest of you I've found it's much more enjoyable and satisfying to hear a THWAP, THUD, PING or PLOP and to watch things move or...

You have to remove the front site to install the TKO. So unless you find a way to glue/clamp it onto the TKO you won't have a front site. Alan

I got a Disco .22 about a month ago and was very disappointed in the performance. After replacing the barrel with one from Mac 1 it's much better. http://airgunnation.dev/topic/newbie-disappointed-with-stock-discovery-performance/ Alan

My experience simply playing with them for the fun of playing with them (I have a bad case of fiddle fingers) is that they're physically brittle and will break apart after being dropped repeatedly. Whether or not they're all similarly affected I don't know, some may certainly be better than...

Still shooting the Discovery most every day and still getting along pretty good with the new barrel. I shot some more paper targets the other night and was, again, a little disappointed in the group size. But then I setup shotgun shells at 38 yards and had a blast picking them off. A miss here...

This is what came with my RWS 34 break barrel rifle/scope combo: http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/RWS_Lock_Down_1_Pc_Mount_w_1_Rings_11mm_Dovetail_Barrel_Droop_Compensation/2406 Seems to work well. Not adjustable but the rear is shimmed up far enough to keep from maxing out the scope. Alan

Great group! My Discovery hasn't come close to matching that at 45 yards with either JSB heavies or Crossman Premier domes (which it prefers over JSB at all ranges). One of these days I'll order a pellet sampler and see if there's something it likes better. Any modifications been done other...


It's true they have a lot of things going for them that I really like but the thing that got me started on target shooting a few months ago was when a friend came down with his Win. mag and we shot out to 925 yards. It was way more fun than I thought it would be. I know he'd like to have...

Curious to hear why some of you have chosen airguns over powder burners and, if you have both, what makes shooting airguns special enough to spend some serious money on a nice one. Still new to the game myself and while I drool over the big $$$$ airguns and would love to have one (or three) I...
