    End of life twitching

    After a good shot to the head, most of the rabbits I have been taking have the end of the life twitch. I understand it. I'm used to it. But the other night I had an end of life squeek/yell/vocal. I put a clean shot from my Veteran .22 right through it's forhead, down the length of it's...

    Beeman R7 .177 on the way

    So after someone's post last week about wanting an R7, I finally broke down and bought one after months of debating. Fingers crossed that the FedEx estimate of Thursday holds true. Could you guys recommend an ammo that the rifle seems favor? Thanks!

    Humane kill advice please

    I'm trying to rid the neighborhood of the abundance of rabbits that suddenly are exploding everywhere. (surprise, surprise...they breed like bunnies!!) My neighbors fully support the work and I have permission to take them in their yards. But even with their permission and knowledge, I want...

    Taipan Veteran Standard .22 on its way!

    I have a new Veteran Standard .22 on its way from Utah Airguns (great staff over there!!). I want to add a picatinny rail on the front of the stock for a bipod and tripod mount. Just thought I'd ask if anyone has any advice, precautions, reinforcements, etc before I start drilling holes in...

    Rabbit Hunting Advice, please

    When I get home from work around 11pm, I usually see rabbits around my property or my neighbors. Neither of us want them around and they are considered a pest, so I am free to dispose of them. I'm up to 5 so far this winter, but there are many more around. And with spring finally arriving, we...

    Two in one week!

    I've been watching them all summer, but could never get them. I either couldn't get a safe shot or they'd run before I could get the rifle. Glad to finally get two down.

    Finally got him!

    I've been watching him for months, but could never get a safe shot. It wasn't an impressive shot at only 15 feet, but I was impressed with this NP-03. Very nice to handle. One JSB 8.4 through the back of the head, a big leap into the air, and it dropped right there.

    Favorite pistol to build?

    What is everyone's favorite base gun to build/accessorize/modify/upgrade? Prod? 2240? Other? I've seen lots of posts of people showing off their creations and have always been very impressed and even a bit jealous. With plenty of free time, I thought I'd make a go of it. I know a Prod is a...

    dB volume suggestion

    Thanks to the guy down the street letting his rabbits loose a few years ago, I've been getting a ton of them in my yard this year. They eat my garden then leave "treats" that my dog likes to snack on (SO gross). My problem is that live in a very tight neighborhood and I see them out when I get...

    Marauder accuracy issue

    I took out my Marauder for the first time in months (I've been using my Condor and Crown). On a 10m shot, I was getting a spread of over 4" on 5 shot strings! I ran through a few clips and topped off the air to about 2700psi, hoping it just needed some breaking in after a long winter nap. No...

    Sound-Loc baffle blowout

    I was shooting my Condor SS .25 yesterday and destroyed the baffles. I was shooting 26gr slugs. Sent two to the target, shot a third but couldn't find the hole (assumed it went through an existing hole), shot a fourth, and as I tilted the rifle forward I heard debris noise in the DonnyFL...

    Airforce parts

    I got a Condor SS a few weeks ago. Love how it shoots and the power, but I don't like the grip. It's too narrow and boxy. If I wanted to change it, does it use a standard style, like AR accessories? Or do I search under a different style? I'm kind of new to all this and am still learning...

    My Birthday present to myself

    Condor SS .25 Hawke Vantage 4x32 and DonnyFL Sumo Only put a few dozen rounds through it (it's been too cold here in NH), but I LOVE this rifle! It's supposed to be in the 50's this weekend so hopefully I can get it sighted in and maybe even run it over the chronograph to test the power...

    Portable rifle shooting bench

    I was wondering if anyone could share a few pictures of a DIY portable bench. Something light weight and packable/foldable to take to the field and range. Surprisingly, there's not much on the net that I could find. I'm just looking for some ideas on features people like and dislike and how...

    Donny FL on a Crown

    When ordering a Donny FL, do you need an adapter or is the endcap threaded for direct mounting onto the shroud?

    FX Crown leak

    I just went to take my first shot of the day and ran into an issue. I didn't make any adjustments to the settings (have the settings at .177/#4) and am using the same pellets I've been using. First shot sounded like it was at full power and sent the pellet way off target. Then the air is just...

    Name of this part?

    Can anyone tell me what this is called? Thanks.

    FX Crown Swivel Stud

    My new FX Crown VP synthetic .22 should be arriving tomorrow. I was wondering what you guys have done to add a swivel stud onto the stock so you can use a sling. On the front, have you been adding a simple stud or step up to a small rail/stud? Was hoping to see some pics if anyone has some. ...
