I'm considering a Maverick .177 or .22 for low-power, close-range, low-noise backyard use. Although the Maverick is a somewhat higher-powered rifle, can it be tuned-down to a very low level, while retaining excellent accuracy? (Of course I would use it with a moderator, like a Huggett Snipe.)...

Apologies for my long absence here. It's been 5 years since I thought much about .177/.22/.25 moderators. (I've been using two Huggett Snipes 6.75", and have been basically content.) So.. fast forwarding to TODAY... (and my new BRK Ghost Plus .22) is Huggett Snipe still taking excellent care...

I see that folks like the Heliboard in their Red Wolfs quite a bit. Personally, three power levels is probably enough for me, but I'm not sure. But perhaps the Heliboard can offer so much more, for less money than buying a GCU 2? If you were to upgrade a Red Wolf HP Gen 1 from GCU-1 to either...

I've been away from these discussions for a good bit. I recently learned of the upgraded battery for early Red Wolf models - to a 3-cell. Just requires a new connecting wire to the GCU-1. At the same time, I learned of the new GCU-2, which offers more power. I might enjoy having more power...

My Brocock Bantam HR .22 isn't giving me quite the accuracy I might like. And the cocking action (at least compared to my Red Wolf) is quite less than wonderful. So, I was thinking I might try an FX model, in place of my Bantam HR .22. My Red Wolf HP .22 is excellent, but I'm hoping to find a...

Just out of curiosity, today I mounted the following moderators on my Bantam Sniper .22. Sound level readings were taken several times with similar results each time. I used an app on my iPhone to measure the peak sound level, at 9' ahead and off 45 degrees to the side of the muzzle, with the...

Does anyone have this rifle? I was handling it at AoA the other day and the soft touch stock felt awesome, as did the bolt action, which felt like it was dampened - and very smooth. It was sleek and lightweight, as well. A very appealing rifle...

I'm wondering if the DonnyFL moderator line up, from lightest/lowest priced to heaviest/highest priced is an indicator of relative degree of sound moderation? Does this ranking below coincide with increasing amount of "quietness"? 1.22” x 5” 5.89 ci 3.9 oz. Tanto $99 1.6” x...

 I'm considering getting either a Renegade or a Pulsar. I already have a Red Wolf .22HP, so I have and understand the all-electronic aspect. I'm kind of leaning toward the Renegade due to the lower price and mechanical function (aside from the electronic trigger which is fantastic!) but I also...

Looks like our good friend Jared (of AoA) was shooting a Brocock Bantam Sniper HR (Huma regulator) with a wood stock at 75 yd Extreme Benchrest today? Is that correct? Or, a different Brocock model? Massive moderator on there, as well. Looks like it may be a DonnyFL Emperor, perhaps?

I've gotten the impression that some rifles may develop more energy from a lighter pellet than from a heavier pellet - is this generally true? Or can energy from a given rifle generally be expected to be about the same when going from a lighter pellet to a heavier pellet? Obviously, a...

First off... how about a look at this cool rifle, the concept conceived by Airguns of Arizona and built by Brocock. Mine shown with Aztec Emerald 5.5-25x50 FFP Illuminated Reticle scope. The magnificently shrouded barrel makes this rifle incredibly quiet - so quiet that you may not even...

I know that variable (zoom) scopes are the most popular, but I've been thinking about getting a single-magnification scope for shooting in my back yard area. I have found that a 10x or 12x scope would be plenty of magnification for my backyard needs (out to 45 yards or so), so I was wondering...

I've been thinking about buying another air rifle (have a RW .22HP at present). I know that I want a semi-bull pup or bullpup PCP (such as a Wildcat MkII .22) as a short and lightweight compliment to my RW .22HP (which is a long and heavy beast). I've also been entertaining the idea of picking...

I have an application where I may need to (only very occasionally) shoot a pellet rifle at a very close range of, perhaps 10’ to 12’, but also be able to more regularly shoot targets at ranges from 25 to 40 yards. How can this be done? Adjustable iron sights on the rifle, in addition to a...

I’m looking for a low cost spring air rifle for dispatching rattle snakes in my yard. Range is 7 to 12 feet. .25 caliber would probably be good, or at least .22 caliber. I think that a scope may be useless at such a close range, wouldn’t it? I’m thinking that an accurate...

If you were to generalize about air rifles a bit, would this possibly make sense? I’m not implying that Daystate doesn’t make a great rifle, because they certainly do. The Red Wolf, for example, is a very cool rifle in so many ways. I’m just not so sure that Daystate quite has the ultra...

I've been able to handle the Wildcat, which felt really good, and the Bantam Sniper, nice also. Then, the Air Arms Galahad came onto my radar. https://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Air_Arms_Galahad_Rifle_REG_FAC_Walnut_Stock/3967 Any thoughts on how the Galahad might compare to the Wildcat and the...

Here is what I'm getting with the RW .22HP at 35 yards. Pellets straight from the tins, no washing nor sorting. Aztec Emerald 5.5-25x50 scope settings are indicated ( e.g. E: 3.5 W: 0) 25.39 JSB Monsters (original version) perform well on LOW (est. 751 fps), MID (est. 858 fps), and HIGH...

I am thinking about getting a .177 rifle for target use. Range probably about 25-35 yards. I would like great, consistent accuracy and a great trigger. And ability to moderate to "very QUIET". Budget is up to $2000. What would you recommend and why? I have been considering an FX Crown as...
