    Athlon Optics. Finaly we have more scope options. Including close focus and FFP.

    Just discovered Athlon Optics this weekend and spent Sat and Sun reading everything I could find on them. So far I'm very encouraged by what I hear. Brand new company founded by two guys rumoured to be former engineers of Bushnell. Just starting to get up to full production capacity as we speak...

    PA now has Ataman guns listed.

    Some very nice looking guns at reasonable prices. I have not heard great things about these though. Hopefully they get their QC under control...

    1 K Marauder

    Well I decided to finally fix the poor accuracy of my 1st gen .22 Marauder. Just ordered a hammer forged barrel from Jim Gaska at Marmot Militia Machine Works: http://www.marmotmilitia.com/hammer-forged-barrels.html I bought this gun used from Precision Air for $300. Then added a Tim Hill...

    Scope ordered. Falcon 5.5-25x50IR with B20 reticle.

    My new RAW HM1000x .25 will be here next week. I really like first focal plane mil/mil scopes. I have been looking at this scope for a couple years now: http://swfa.com/Falcon-Menace-55-25x50-Tactical-30mm-Riflescope-P49980.aspx There is just not much choice in the market right now in this price...

    Steel Plinkers

    Just received my first target, a quad spinner. This is a very well made target! Much heavier duty that standard mass produced air gun spinners. I like being able to chose the size of the paddles. Nice touch! Very nice quality and a great value in a US made product. Shipping was fast as well...

    New UTG Rubber Scope Eye shade.

    Looks like we have a new option for an eye shade. Comes with adapters for a range of sizes. These have been hard to find. I just ordered one: http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/UTG_Rubber_Scope_Eyeshade_for_36_40_41_5_43mm_Eyepiece/5118

    New 16 inch Bullet/Pellet trap.

    Just order one of these. I have wanted one that's larger than the 12x11" Champion and similar. Looks like a much better design as well as being larger. Think I will tape heavy cardboard over the front to tape targets to. That will also stop any fragments from coming out. Though with the shallow...

    Lets clear up some common misconceptions about scopes.

    There is a lot of incorrect notions about rifle scopes floating around so here is a link to an article that should help clear some things up so we can make better choices in our scope selections. http://randywakeman.com/Amazing-Riflescope-Myths.htm

    Hard case for RAW HM1000x ?

    Going to order a hard case for my new RAWI. Have my mind set on the Plano 108192 Just want to make sure it will fit the RAW with a large target scope. I will not be using it to fly just a good storage case. Seems like a good value. Anyone using this case...

    Poor man's tethering regulator.

    With me being the poor man. LOL! I came up with a trick (Im sure others have figured this out also) when bench shooting tethered to the air bottle I leave the hose connected to the gun and just open the valve as needed to top off the gun. I don't bleed the hose during my shooting session. This...

    When did BKL start making low & medium mounts?

    I have always avoided using them because they were to tall. Thought they just had the one height. Now I was just at their website and see that they have what I always believed to be high mounts. Now they show low mounts as well. So then I checked Pyramid Air and they show Low, medium and high...

    RAW .25 barrels choked?

    Does anyone know if the RAW HM1000x .25 barrels are choked? I'm wondering if I can use slugs/pellets like the H&N Grizzly's. http://www.pyramydair.com/s/p/H_N_Grizzly_Pellets_25_Cal_31_Grains_Hollowpoint_150ct/1225

    Compressor down! Solved!

    The drive belt on my Shoebox Max compressor broke! I have a friend that I just introduced to airgunning. He is totally hooked after me just telling him all about it and showing him some photos of some high end guns. So he jumped right in and ordered a Daystate Huntsman Regal XL .22 and a Tiger...

    Constantly amazed at the power of "toy" airguns!

    I tell people that I'm into air guns and they laugh and think I'm playing with toys! My girlfriend and I were out shooting at 100 yards today with my high power regulated Marauder 1st gen .22. It pushes 18 gr. JSB's at 975 fps and 21 gr. Baracudas at 920 fps. I just made some hanging metal...
