    Need help on "three letter organization"

    I understand, and fully agree with the desire to keep the forum non-political. But I continue to see the above reference to agencies that are usually pretty obvious, and I don't understand that paranoia. Why should we hide the reference to a regulatory agency? I mean, what should we call the...

    Comment on Moderator lock down

    I think the moderators on this web site generally do a great job of keeping the members on point with appropriate discussions. Occasionally, I see instances of what I consider a bit of over-reaching in the editing. Specifically, and currently, I am referring to the recent thread, "Can I use...

    [WTT] Sightron S-TAC 4-20X MOA-2 for S-TAC Duplex

    I have three of these scopes with the same MOA-2 reticle, and would like to have one with Duplex. Like new condition, will add pictures.

    seek Burris feedback

    I notice that the Fullfield IV, 6-24X scope is side focus, with a minimum range of 10 yards. I'm interested in a 30mm scope, with simple fine duplex reticle and close focus, and this one seems to work. I haven't used a Burris scope in 20 years, but my experience with them is good. If anyone has...

    favorite hunting scope

    As an old timer, I find many of the new scopes, those with a plethora of reticle variations, virtually useless in the woods, especially under low light. I have a couple of FFP scopes, with MOA hash marks. When using them to range distance on a target, they're great. But put them in the woods at...

    [SPF] Bushnell Engage 6-24 scope

    I bought this scope recently from another AGN member, you can find his original listing in the Classifieds search. As he stated, the scope is like new. I mounted it and found I don't like the reticle. For me, it's a bit busy for a hunting reticle, but is fine for targets, focuses down to 10...

    Good Sightron Scope deal

    I just ordered a Sightron S-TAC 4-20X from Amazon, for $299. This is one of my favorite scopes, and this is a great price. So, if it's a scope you like, this is a good buy.

    Tuning FX Royale 400 tuning question

    I have a Royale 400 and love it. If I wanted to tune it down to, say the 12 fpe level, I could back off on the power wheel. But, that doesn't change the reg set point, so it seems to me to be a very inefficient way to detune it. Just wondering, has anyone played with tuning down with a lower reg...

    Tuning HW 100 tuning question

    I have an HW 100K in .177. It's a great rifle, and I shoot it a lot in the yard. It's FAC power level, so it's shooting 18-20 fpe, as it should. Since most of it's use is in the yard, I'm considering tuning it down, My question, can it be de-tuned to the 12 fpe level with the current...

    I like old fashioned

    I'm not one to post pics of groups, since it's just a picture of unknown origin and integrity. I've not been a fan of the FX liner/sleeve rifles, but love my old Royale 400 with the original, solid ST barrel. I'm not a long distance shooter, mostly 50 yards and under. The Royale has always been...

    old tool question

    I have various old tools that were bought by my dad and grandfather. I doubt any are collectible, but I think they are US made, and I use them routinely. These pliers are an example, and are in my range box. There are some markings that might mean something to someone more knowledgeable. If...

    Question for .177 shooters

    I've had only 2 precision quality rifles in .177, and quite a few in .22. Both of the .177 rifles have been considerably more pellet finicky than the .22s. I expect it's just coincidence, but just curious if others have noticed any difference in the effect of pellet selection between these calibers.

    New Revere

    I received a new Revere last week in .22. It is shooting very well. I noticed that the barrel shroud is free floated in the barrel ring, so a slight metallic rattle is heard when slightly bumping the rifle. Wanting to check for POI stability, I shot the circled group below, one shot per day for...

    Revere assembly question

    I recently received a new Daystate Revere in .22. I've shot a few groups in the yard at 25 yards, killed a couple of squirrels, and it is doing its job admirably. I don't know if I'll ever need to remove the barrel for cleaning, hopefully pull-throughs will suffice. But I like to understand how...

    Thoughts on the Royale 400 vs HW 100 vs Revere

    ​It seems these three rifles come up rather frequently when a new buyer is considering a rifle in this price range. I am fortunate to own all three in .22, having just bought a Revere. Since one of my first PCP rifles was a Huntsman, I'm comparably familiar with the three platforms. It's too...

    Tuning Royale 400 silencer question

    I have a Royale 400 in .22. It's reasonably quiet, but not as quiet as the other rifles I use in the yard. I've tried adding a silencer using the Donny adapter, but that really screws up the balance, at least for me. So I'm thinking (which is often the first step in making a small problem...

    question about Taipan regulator

    I have a Veteran Standard in .22, and its velocity consistency is excellent. A friend has a new Veteran Long in .25, and all indications suggest he has a reg problem. As a matter of interest, I'm curious, how many folks have had problems with their Taipan regulator? The design and build of the...

    Question about velocity on Taipan site

    I was looking at the published velocity of a .22 Veteran Long, and their site lists "85", that's it, just 85. Anybody know what that means, and how to convert it to FPS.
