    Paypal quietly added the $2500.00 fine back in its policy - 2 weeks after the backlash

    Paypal quietly added the $2500.00 fine back in its policy - 2 weeks after the backlash. But sneakily watered it down where they do not have to specify what they are unhappy about. Many people report that they were not able to cancel or close their accounts because Paypal was slow-roiling the...

    Buy 30% cheaper from Europe? USD at near parity with the British Pound and the EURO

    With the USD gaining 20% and 30% on the GBP and the EUR from a year ago, seems to be worth to pick up some airgun things cheaper from Europe? For example, the FX Maverick Sniper is USD1800 at Utah Airguns, but EUR1320 (USD1275) at Krale (shipping excluded) and GBP1400-1500 (USD1481-1587).

    New manufacturers PCP airgun pricing trend...

    Seems like about 10+ years ago only a few major manufacturers ruled the PCP market, especially at the high-end. Since then it was nice to see some smaller unknown ones enter the market and make a name for themselves by quality or innovative design changes and proven performance in competition...

    Buying a used "new" PCP from an airgun website

    Am I buying someone else's problem? Or it depends which airgun shop selling it...? Can't help but makes me wonder when I see a newly released product available as "used" on an airgun website...that it may have been a customer return. Which may be a return because they had too many problems...

    A non-bottle discreet air-tank PCP with a decent shot-count?

    I love a huge shot count without refills and I do have bottle PCPs. (Impact, Crown, Daystate). But I am not a fan of the bottle guns' looks although like bullpups without the huge bottles. I know it is primarily caliber size dependent, but is there a .22-.25 PCP that has a discreet (well...

    JSB is still the king of pellets...no takers?

    JSB has been the reigning king of pellets for many years now, as illustrated here: "Interestingly, there’s almost complete unanimity on pellet choice among the competitors at the 2022 FLFT Grand Prix shoot. No less than 84% of the competitors were using pellets manufactured by JSB."...

    Wind reading intervals?

    Those of you with much wind readings experience, if you had a way to read the wind by the target's location from your shooting position: at what intervals would you like to know accurate wind direction and speed? Realistically... Every second? Every 10 seconds? Every 30 seconds? Every...

    Why do most new flagship PCPs from various manufacturers look FX Impact-alike?

    May be a rhetorical question... Is it because it's a very popular chassis with the consumers, looks-wise, so best way to compete? Or Is it because it is the "leanest" possible chassis design for a performance PCP with all extras (stock, etc) removed? Like a Formula 1 car that has...

    Transferable factory warranty

    Folks, just my two cents... In today's airgun world where most of us have some serious financial investments in our hobby, pay attention which manufacturer/dealer has a transferable factory warranty. Just a few years ago this concept was still alien. You bought a gun for $2000 and after a...

    The future of pellets - some questions

    Mod edit: moved to correct forum With slugs taking over the airgun world what will be the future of pellets for the serious hobbyist? What is causing the current pellet shortage? JSBs etc pellets are hard to find. Why isn't there a JSB-level quality pellet-maker in the US? There are...

    Why are moderators mostly metal now vs carbon fiber before?

    A few years ago most moderators (that were made by small shops) were carbon fiber. Then everybody switched to aluminum. Is it because of easier machining? More durable? Less cost? Better availability of machines or material?

    What is the lightest 100 yard capable semi-auto production PCP?

    What regular-production semi-auto PCP that can be used at 100 yards is the LIGHTEST? If the modifications to the production PCP to make it lighter are not overly complicated, that would be a good match too. Thank you.

    Danger of electrocution with some oil-less/waterless 12V air compressors

    I just received my generic Chinese oil-less/waterless 12V portable air compressor that is branded under a dozen different names and versions. Some are sold by major US airgun dealers. The GROUND wire on the transformer was not properly hooked up. If there is a short and you happened to touch...
