    Best bench gun

    “for the money” That does put a different light on the subject. Money aside I choose the Thomas. My first contact with bench guns found me shooting a Raw and a Thomas. Being a complete novice I found the Thomas much more user friendly (ease of loading) and fun to shoot. After having shot...

    SWFA 16 Power

    I’ve considered going to a fixed power 16 for Hunter class. The SWFA seems to check my required boxes for reticle, weight etc. But, I’m a little leary of the parallax adjustment on the scope tube. If I’m interpreting the photos correctly it is a ring on the tube near the eye piece. It’s marked...

    Best scope/reticle combination for Hunter class field target?

    Hi guys! My 10-50 I use for Hunter has a sixteen marker but I have another that only has the 12/20. I’ll keep using the correctly marked one. I try to remember that this is supposed to be fun and not get too wrapped up in the equipment wars. I’ve been there and done that in other disciplines...

    Best scope/reticle combination for Hunter class field target?

    Anxious to see what choices are made. I haven’t found the best one. Currently I am leaning towards a mildot but I would like a center dot as well. I haven’t found one. IR would be nice, but I’ve made my choice enough of a unicorn already. I am using the MOA-H right now but it is just too...

    Florida airgunners Hernando County area

    Don’t really need a place for practice but Field Target or Bench Rest competitions would be great. Closer to home for me is always good. Corky

    FWB 601 Scope Mounts

    I’m going to have to take some measurements. But a 11mm to picatinny and high mounts might work. The idea of the short gate and the offset lever for closing the gate is probably a good option, but a little scary because of having to modify the existing gate. With no replacement parts...

    FWB 601 Scope Mounts

    I have a new to me FWB 601 that I would like to scope. I know the loading gate is quite high so very high rings will be required (if there are rings that are that tall). I also have seen a kit that adds a side mounted lever to a shortened gate. Unfortunately the short gates (or for that matter...

    Thinking of creating a new sanctioning body for 50y BR

    Great idea. I’m all in for more bench rest competitions. Hopefully there will be some within a couple hours drive. Corky

    Air Venturi - Producing a new version of the IZH 46 ?

    Christmas came a little early this year Original and AV backup. Looks like I may be able to use one case, but it will be tight.

    What better scope than Sightron SIII?

    I have three of the Sightron 10-50’s. One Field Target model with the MOA-H lighted reticle and two dedicated crosshairs with Target dot for bench rest. I believe the dot is .10 MOA. I have found the dot to be near perfect for bench rest work. The ability to adjust the magnification, and...

    What's the best springer you can buy today?

    My real shooting is done with PCP’s but I have a tuned 12 ft/lb HW98 for fun. Started with the TX200 but but old fat fingers didn’t like loading through the available space with the scope etc. That satisfied my needs. Easy to cock, easy to load, knocks down field targets. Not looking back. ...

    Why did you get into PCP airguns?

    Competition. After a sixty year layoff from air rifles I researched the competitions available for air guns. Needed something closer to home to take the place of NRA smallbore silhouette. Now I compete in field target, bench-rest and ,soon to be, pistol silhouette. That should hold me for a...
