    Thinking of buying a Benjamin maximus? You'd better read this.

    I love mine. .22 Hunter version. Added HUMA reg. and did the usual trigger mods. It is my grab and go pester. Added Limb Saver slip on butt pad for 1" added LOP.

    WARNING!!! New Deadly species found this morning.

    The Pileated woodpeckers are huge. 12" - 18" tip to tail. Regulars at my suet feeder. Mine are usually the 12"-ish size. I have never seen any woodpeckers at a hummingbird feeder though.

    Tuning Recoil Pads, Not Just For Recoil.

    The Limb Saver pads are awesome for an added 1" LOP. Super flexible. Just note basic butt shape and pick the right sized one. I tried other brands. What a waste.

    Tuning Red Wolf mag activator pin

    In some cases, the mag pawl/arm would over travel and strike the probe. Actuator pins breaking, mag pawl/arms breaking, probes dented and chipped. I cut that end of the arm off two mags. Works fine. Like any linkage, if that pin is {{still}} rising (and the pawl/arm is on the probe),... things...

    Beware…the chance is NEVER zero!

    The big domestic ones can put a thumpin' on you with the hind legs/feet. Like mini-kangaroos they be!

    Cable spool double benchrest!

    I have seen this before. Very nice indeed. A local BIG power line contractor had like 6 for several months and then one day they were gone. The may be returnable? Given lumber scarcity/prices,... that may play in. I do think I would opt for a small boat swivel seat with back rest if I was to...

    Tuning Red wolf with index pin magazine

    I cut the bolt/probe side arm off my magazines. Works fine. (old style mag.) I forget now where I heard/saw it,... but a fellow put his finger on top of that pin and fired the rifle. He put a hole in his finger! So,... I would guess that the pin comes up with a bit more than a "puff" of air.

    Getting terrible results with my first airgun, is it the gun or me?

    Make sure the scope turrets are not run out too far (if you had to keep running them out when sighting in). If moderator equipped, insure there is no pellet clipping there. You should be getting dime or nickle groups at 20 yards.

    Great little gauges from Lithuania for sorting pellet head size

    Overall,... I like the concept very much. That is from someone that has a .25 PelletGage.

    Why you need flags to be successful at 50y

    I made a version of these and they work just plain AWESOME! https://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2018/02/wind-indicator/

    Too much light

    The UTG is a bit stiff. I modified mine heavily (shortened and drastically sculpted the eye piece). In the end, it was perfect. That was on a .25 M-rod. I would look for something else if getting another one. It took a lot of trim/try/trim/try/trim/try time.

    Shooting the Daystate Safari

    Very nice. I have the 1st version .25 Red Wolf HP/FAC (one of the limited). Any chance of shooting slugs from mine??? I have not seen much, but then I have not looked much either. More curious than anything and not looking to waist time or money if it will be waist of time. Comments from any...

    Cheers to the Big Ragu,I hope he is healing fast

    Best wishes. I had an x-wife that broke an 8" rod in two. Just snapped one day. Fix was to remove that and add two 12" rods (all lower back). So, I am familiar with the type of surgery. No clue how she is now. The few years after were a lot of on/off pain. The doc got her hooked on oxy's,.. so...

    Is it really "Chrony-logical"?

    I have brought this up before. The threads here die quick. At GTA, someone can post to thread 5 years old and,... boom!,... it is at the top of the list. :) I would hang out more here,... but I will only go back a few pages (3-5) to see whats new. Oh well.

    What’s the best grease for tuning a TX200 and high end springers in general...?

    Almagard 3752. Also goes by Red and Tacky. Same as Tune-in-a-tube that is sold. A light coat for the spring.

    Can factory filling preasure be increased after installing a regulator?

    I put a Huma in a .22 Maximus and fill to 3000. Works fine. 30 shots with nice even fps. I do not know what the max. shot count is. It is my grab and go pester.

    General PCP questions - Maximus rifle

    I have had a .22 Maximus for several years and love it. Higher fill = lower fps,........ yes. The valve is partially valve locked at the higher fill. Yes, there is a sweet spot in the string. You need a chronograph to know that. A simple cheat is to set up at 30 like you did. Note the start...

    New Daystate magazine - is it just me?

    I cut the arm off of mine (the side that can hit the probe, old style) Works just fine. If manually unloading, you have to hold the drum. I have stated before, the pin came up and moved the arm and the arm hits the probe. I believe that pin is still moving up in some cases, at which point...
