    Diana n-tec rammers

    Hello guys, I am trying to get as much info about Diana's new n-tec gas rams as I can. I recently watched a review of the AM03 Stealth and it seemed like a pretty decent rifle, but I am not sure if there are any unbiased reviews on the Internet. Have you tried them out yet and what do you think...

    A new underlever in .177

    Hello everyone, I am looking for a new underlever in .177. Walther LGU and HW97K seem to be good options but a lot of shooters say Weihrauch/Beeman are not as good as they once were. The LGU came out in 2014, I think, and I have to admit that I don't know much about it. I just want to know what...

    A hunting springer/gas rammer

    Hello guys, I am looking for a fairly accurate springer/gas rammer that will be suitable for hunting small game and doing some pest control, as there are lots of birds here. I've been thinking of buying Walther LGV in .177, but it only generates 12 fpe of energy and I don't think that's enough...

    Benjamin Trail NP

    Hello, guys, I am thinking of buying a new Benjamin Trail NP (not the XL version), but I'd like to see what the more experienced shooters think. I am by no means an expert. I like the nice wooden stock, the barrel, the weaver rail, the Centerpoint scope seems to be decent too. Not the best, but...

    My new scope

    Hello guys, I received my Konuspro 6-24x44 scope this morning. Everything's fine, but the user manual/papers don't say much. I have no idea which power it's true at and what the distance between the dots would be at that power. I really feel like burning all my stuff. Do you have any...

    Buying a scope for my springer

    Hello, I am thinking of buying a new scope for one of the gas ram rifles. I've been thinking of buying a Konus Pro scope, but I read they were not suitable for air rifles. Really? I thought Leapers would be a good idea, but a friend of mine said "Don't waste your money on a Leapers scope." Apart...

    Factory Gas Rams

    Hello, Are the factory gas rams any good? I am thinking of buying a new air rifle, but I've never had one with a factory gas ram. Is it better to buy a spring rifle and get a gas ram installed afterwards? That doesn't make much sense, I guess... Anyway. What do you think, guys? Thank you.

    Hatsan 125 Sniper

    Hello, guys, Has anyone used the Hatsan 125 Sniper and what do you think of it? I watched a few reviews and everyone says it's great. I find that really difficult to believe. Aren't most Hatsan rifles of really, really poor quality and workmanship? I am also thinking of buying the BSA Lightning...

    Hunting with a springer/gas ram rifle

    Hello, I personally do that, but a lot of people here think springers/gas ram guns are pathetic and good for nothing. What do you think guys? I would always choose a springer over a PCP gun, but this is probably just me. I think 16-19 fpe are enough to kill a rabbit,pigeon,squirrel,prairie...

    Shooting at an angle

    Hello guys, I have a question for you. Is there a way we could estimate our true range without doing lots and lots of math? Let's say the distance from us to the pigeon is 50 yards and the angle is about 25 degrees. What would our true distance be? How do we work that out? Math's never been my...

    Distance estimation on 7x

    Hello guys, Can we use the same formula: (target size in yards * 1000) / the number of mils on 7x power? My max power is 9x, but since my scope is nothing special and has no AO, I have to use it on 7x. I just wonder if the same formula can be employed. Thank you. Have a wonderful day.

    effective range

    Hello, I am thinking of buying a BSA Lightning in .22 and I will use it for pigeon hunting. It's muzzle velocity is about 700 fps, and it has 19.5 ft.lb of energy. Nothing to write home about, but I like using spring/gas ram rifles. Do you think I could kill a pigeon at 60-70 yards with it (if I...

    BSA scopes

    Hello everyone, I am thinking of buying a BSA scope for one of my air rifles. I've never owned one before and I don't know much about them. They seem to be decent. Are they any good?

    simple calculations

    Hello, I have a pretty weird question, but I'll go ahead and post it. Let's say that 1mil = 3.6 inches at 100 yards. How much would 1mil be at 67 yards? How do you work that out? I would do the following thing: 100/67=1.49. and then divide 3.6 by 1.49, but that looks horrible. :D Thank you. It's...

    mil dot scope calculations

    Hello guys, I am pretty new to airguns, so I'd like to ask you a question that's pretty silly, but please, bear with me. I'm a metric man, so I will use meters, centimeters, etc. They say that the distance between two mil dots at 100 meters is 10 centimeters on 10x power. If we put the scope on...

    Zeroing in my new scope

    Hello, everyone, I have a question. I received my new Bushnell scope today and I zeroed it in at about 28-30 yards. Is that a decent distance, or should I go back out and start over? Thank you in advance.

    Cometa air guns

    Hello everyone, Have you ever used or seen air guns made by Cometa? I think they're Spanish. A friend of mine said they were quite popular in some parts of Europe, but I know absolutely nothing about them. I found a nice Cometa 400 with a gas ram, but it might be really bad, I don't know. Also...

    Choosing a new air gun

    Hello everyone, At the moment I can't spend thousands of dollars on a good English or South Korean PCP rifle, so I will have to settle for something not nearly as good. I don't want to buy a springer, so I am looking at these models: - Crosman Nitro Venom Dusk; - Cometa Fusion Galaxy; - Gamo...
