    Tips for shooting a bullpup off a bipod/rest?

    I have a veteran standard and am in the same situation. I was canting the rifle without noticing. A scope level helped quite a bit with that.

    1000$, Tell me what gun to buy!

    I just bought a pre-owned Taipan Veteran standard in .22 as my first nice air rifle. I love everything about it. I plan to use it on starlings, sparrows and the occasional groundhog. If you can find a Veteran in your price range I would jump on it. If using predominantly for groundhogs, ...

    Which is the Better Compact? Taipan Veteran .177 vs. AGT Uragan .22

    Both nice guns for sure. I was surprised by the noise level of the Uragan. Both these guns are on my short list for sure.

    What Pellet Trap For Indoors? That Can Safely Catch a PP .25 Impact ?

    I filled a cardboard box with three bags of rubber mulch. It's about 9 inches deep. It stops my .25 Gauntlet at 47 FPE no problem. You might need more depth depending on you FPE output.

    Gauntlet Accuracy

    Yes I went over the barrel and shroud connections multiple times. Yes greased the o-ring too. Tried shooting with the shroud on and off and it made no difference whatsoever in accuracy. Will order some different pellets and will have a friend I trust take a look at the crown and breech. If...

    Gauntlet Accuracy

    Foregrip is clear of shroud/barrel. I tried it with shroud on and off. No difference in accuracy. I think there might be an issue at the breech, pellets are really hard to seat. I have to almost slam bolt forward to seat pellets. JSB were a little easier because they are softer. I'm...

    Gauntlet Accuracy

    Thanks guys, I can try getting some different pellets. Maybe it's pellet picky, but I didn't expect it to perform so poorly with the Benjamin and H+N. Looked like a shotgun even though velocities were consistent. Confirmed no parallax. I used the Hawke airmax that I had on my old R7. ...
