    Hatsan TactAir 1.6L fill tank

    My local sporting store has a sale going on for this tank. Regular price is $239 and the sale price is $169. It comes with 2 gages, hose and seems to be a complete kit. Also, this store has a new policy of filling tanks for free. Seems like a good deal. Anyone have a comment? Up until now...

    I've got a Center Point 6x32 AO scope on my Maximus. I'd like to get something better but understand, I paid $150 for the Maximus brand new. I varmint hun 25 t0 50 yards max. Any suggestion? I can't say for sure, but I thing somethings wrong with the Centerpoint. It will hold zero all today...

    PSI and FPS

    Hi. My only air rifle is the Benjamin Maximus. As you know, its limit is about 2,000 psi and very easy to hand pump. FPS with 22 cal, 15.89 grain pellets is somewhere between 850 to 900 (I think). Ok, so my question is, what are you gaining by going to a rifle such as the Gauntlet or Marauder...

    Benjamin Maximus Foster fitting repair?

    Hello again. I followed your advice and put some water/soap on the foster fitting and sure enough, it's bubbling like crazy. Before I order a new one, is there any way to try and repair it or clean it? And once I remove it, what do I put on the threads to seal it? Thanks!

    Tuning Benjamin Maximus leaking air

    Hi. Quick question, I've never done anything to this rifle except fill it with hand pump and shoot it. If there's a preventative maintenance lubing, I haven't done it. So it typically sits with air pressure in the green for weeks on end, and I usually just give it 20 or 30 pumps when I'm...

    Umarex Gauntlet 2 - new model

    Hey, no offense to anyone that owns this gun but I just had the opportunity to hold it at my local gun store. I have to say, shouldering this thing feels like a bazooka! Seriously, it seems really big and heavy. I had thought I might be in the market for it before actually picking it up, by...

    Scope for Benjamin Maximus

    Hi. This rifle is really accurate but I need a good inexpensive scope for it. I'm typically 20 to 50 yards. It's a 22 cal. Thanks!

    PCP rifle safety

    This is difficult for me to say but I need to tell how stupid I was. Thankfully, no one was injured. I've got a Benjamin Maximus PCP rifle and shoot varmints in my backyard. I am the only one who uses the rifle and it is only my wife and I in the house. There are times when I load the rifle...

    JSB Grain Comparison - How to decide which one?

    One more question about pellet selection. I'm looking at the JSB options specifically for 22 caliber. Without going into the discussion of the different pellet configurations; dome, hollow, pointed, etc., I'm totally confused as to how to make a decision on the weight (grain) of the pellet...

    Price Gouging

    So I started the topic asking where the Crosman discount code had gone to. The explanation from Crosman is that someone bought almost $70,000 worth of products with the discount code, and then resold it all for a profit. I've also read many posts asking where all the ammo has gone to. Sure...

    Pellet Maximum Distance Question

    Just wondering. With a typical PCP 22 caliber rifle (mine is a Benjamin Maximus at about 800 fps I think), How far can the pellet (15.89 grain) travel at a maximum distance? For example, pointing up maybe 20 degrees into the air, how far will the pellet travel? (I would never do it...

    Benjamin Marauder Discount Code? Did I miss out?

    Hi. A few months ago I used a discount code on the Crosman Benjamin website to get a really good price on a Marauder. I couldn't spend the money back then, and I can't remember what the code was. I watched the banners at the top of the AGN page but I don't see it. Did I miss out? If not...

    JSB Pellet category definitions - help please

    Hi. I've settled on JSB Exact Jumbo .22 cal Pellets, 15.89 grain dome - for shooting. I've tried a bunch of different brands that I can buy locally, but the JSB really are the best for accuracy, at least for me. Here's my question. There's a bunch of different JSB's for 22 cal that I haven't...

    22 cal maximus question

    Hi again. Help me understand. I love this rifle. Its the only pcp I own. It does not have a shrouded barrel. Today, with scope, I hit a 3" target at 80 yards. I'm not bragging, its just what I did. So help me understand the difference between a shrouded barrel and what I can expect. Kind...

    Foot pounds of energy discussion

    Ok, when you hit a varmint at 80 yards and it looks at you and facts in your general direction, its time to get educated. As I understand it, FPE is a simple calculation of feet per second divided by pellet weight. Then of course, you have to factor in distance. And pellet configuration...

    Help me decide - 25 caliber: Marauder, Avenger, or Gauntlet

    I think this topic is a moot point right now because as I see it, nothing's available. Not even the JSB 25 caliber pellets. Unless I'm looking in all the wrong places. I know there are other ones out there, some reasonably priced, but I've done a lot of research and have drilled down to these...

    Air Rifle Shortage

    Well, I posted on this a little while ago but I guess today it's a done deal. After responding to a post about how I got into pcp's, I decided to look on Pyramydair, just to check out what they have. Here's what I put in the filter: 25 caliber Price: $100 to $600 PCP power source Ready...

    Pellet recommendation for Benjamin Maximus 22 cal

    Hey everyone. Since buying the Maximus I've been using the JSB Exact Jumbo 15.89gn dome pellet. I shoot at the same distance most of the time, about 35 yards. I get pretty good groups with these. Most posts I read say that every gun reacts differently to different pellets and you just have...

    FPS FPE and distance question

    Hi. I've got a Benjamin Maximus PCP rifle 22 caliber that I've measure FPS (Feet per second) with Chronograph and then calculated the FPE (Foot Pound of Energy). My question is, how do I determine the degradation or loss of FPS and FPE as related to distance? For example, if the FPE is...

    More and more out of stock?

    Any notice that there seems to be more and more air rifles and pistols listed as out of stock? I look primarily on Pyramyd Air website, and have been waiting for months to buy the Diana pistol. Scrolling through the listings, seems like there's more out of stock than in stock. Hope this...
