    Diy carbon fiber stock tutorial

    I agree with the others. I have always wondered about how to go about making my own CF stuff. This is a good FYI. Can you provide some links you have found useful?

    Rabbit among my field targets while practicing

    Well, not a rabbit, but I was shooting metallic silhouettes, I hear my wife behind me say, "Dont shoot the chicken." "What do you mean 'dont shoot the chicken?' It is a chicken silhouet- Oh, you mean the real chicken . . . right."

    Rimfire vs Marauder

    In NY state I cannot fire a PB within 500ft of a road (there are additional stipulations applying to other buildings [neighbor's buildings] as well). Air rifle, no worries. Hence the MRod.

    SWFA rear focus drawbacks/advantages?

    I think the side focus gives you convenience of just being able to glance left, rather than remove the rifle from your shoulder pocket. Using a side wheel gives the granularity to fine focus I think easier. That might be mitigated by adding a quick focus ring to the rear focus. I have a...

    SWFA left me feeling bittersweet

    
My M-1 may not be light, but she is built like a tank! That and the glass, I find the weight easily acceptable.

    SWFA left me feeling bittersweet

    Bummer to hear about the scope not focusing down to 35ydrs. IOR makes a scope that focuses down to 25ft. https://swfa.com/ior-9-36x44-spyder-tactical-35mm-rifle-scope.html Their glass is really nice. I have a 4x24 M-1. It is over 10 years old, and I would say it is on par with my SWFA SS.

    PSA: It's TICK season and there out in force this year (Lyme disease Warning)

    
+1! I got my Wilderness EMT cert through NOLS in Western NC. Lone Star ticks, big buggers. Nasty. Wear long sleeved shirts, light colored, pants, and if you can military style boot blouses. My father who lives in FL, recently found a tick in a very personal place . . . the little bugger...

    Question for users of Chairgun Pro for Android

    
The swiping issue, yeah, I have to do it several times for the graphs to swipe left or right. Like an over exaggeration of the motion and not just once. It is annoying.

    What magnification do you feel is necessary at various distances?

    A few years ago I had a serious problem with rats around the barn. I went with the IOR Valdada 4x24 over the UTG SWAT 4-16x44. The glass really is that much better on the IOR. Closest shot was 11yrds, most were in the 20s and the furthest was 33yrds. Only one was not DRT. For target, used to...

    AOA vs Pyramid Air prices

    I live closer to PA than I do AOA, so shipping is faster. Is that a dumb reason to choose one over another? Probably. But I was the kid who could hardly wait for Christmas morning too.

    Buble level anti cant device

    I have a SWFA SS bubble level. $19.99. I mount it on the left side of a SWFA scope as far forward as I can. It takes a little work, but I can see the bubble level in my left eye, and the target through the scope in my right eye at the same time.

    To tune or not to tune

    
AJ, I dont suppose you could comment on the LW barrel and is there a difference between it and a Marmot barrels? I am looking at both. LW offers a polygonal barrel? Is there an advantage over a regular barrel?

    To tune or not to tune

    I have a MRod. They are easy to work on, do all your own mods, lots of info out there of how to do tunes, spare parts, aftermarket parts. If I mess up, easily repaired. I wont feel as bad if I mess up a $1k air rifle. When all is said and done, I may have close to the cost of a FX or...

    new jsb .22 cal pellets 25 grains

    
Thank you for posting the pic. I have a tin of the older model. They did just ok in my MRod. Like a 2inch group at 30yrds. They grouped better than the H&N Rabbit Magnums, but not as good as the Eunjins. Will wait and see what others have to say.

    Enough said

    I do not disagree with the general idea. However, many companies prototypes are akin to custom air rifles. Their R&D department and engineers (people who are paid $90/hr or more) generally over build or have access to parts and specialized equipment making them far out of reach for most. It is...

    Full length rifle vs bullpup?

    I like shooting from NRA High Power prone. It is what I was taught. Dont think a bullpup will do so good in that position. And for target shooting like that with a airgun, a good two stage trigger is needed.
