    Gamo Swarm Magnum 10x Gen 2?

    The Gen 2 has an excuse for iron sights. It is hard to get your head down low due to the way they designed the stock, however if you are using a scope , try the fixed sights. If they hold at say 20 yards , then it is not the gun, it is the scope. If one group goes high left and is 4 inches...

    Gamo Swarm Magnum 10x Gen 2?

    A Gamo!! Oh heavens find the tar and feathers. Chuckle!! It takes a bit of practice to learn to shoot a Magnum such as the Gamo. It also helps to install a longer trigger screw (I forget the size , but you can buy a whole sack of them at Fastenal for 20 bucks) anyway this allows you to set the...

    where should we post threads about missing rifles?

    Sorry you got caught up in the situation. I do not trust anyone anymore, not a soul. I recently tried to sell a Crown Mark 2 and I got all kinds of scam request opportunities from members on this site. I got quite a few of them that were obvious attempts at theft. Do you take digital...

    Air Arms Air Arms TX 200 Rowan Trigger question

    I have not installed their latest design, so as the instructions say, could be. My main complaint with the Rowan Trigger is the side play. The trigger simply slides side to side on the pin, so you have to make some spacers and install each side of the trigger and let them slide on the pin...

    Looks like BSA BIRMINGHAM is GONA try again. New springer.

    Actually Gamo and BSA are now sister companies. To find out all about this rifle go to the Gamo USA web site and view it under PCP rifles. It will take you to the BSA web site. They had a few last week , however looks like this week the add to cart is disabled so they must have ran out of...

    Other Sad stats for springers

    Well let me turn over the apple cart in the middle of the road and kick a few apples around. Chuckle!!! For years I shot the HW95, I owned a great many others such as the HW97 and TX200 and sold them all as they required me to hire a porter to carry them around for me. I have seen that this...

    N/A Reloading a springer help?

    It is a safety issue that most of us should follow but mostly do not. If the trigger is accidently tripped the barrel and or action will come flying shut with speed faster than the eye, chopping off fingers and bending barrels. Most newer break barrels have an internal secondary Bear Trap...

    Newbie here, looking at my first PCP

    Airgun Depot advertises the Talon SS as wonderfully accurate gaining a two inch group at 50 meters. Wow!!!! Now that is some substantial accuracy. Thing is I can do better than that with the cheapest break barrel on the market. There are a lot of choices in todays market , take your time...

    PCP Rifle Immaculate FX Crown Mark ll , Vortex Scope, Rings, and GX4 compressor package.

    Very nice immaculate FX Crown tuned to 910 fps or so with 18.13 and will easily shoot a ragged one hole at 60 yards. Has a Vortex 6 to 24 scope and Sportsmatch rings. The compressor is a GX3 that has been used 7 times to pump up a rifle. The Crown does not have a scratch or blemish and has...

    HW/Weihrauch Who shoots 22 Weihrauchs at 50 yards or more?

    No sure if Weihrauch has made the Beeman brand in some time, the R7 and R9 are imported by Air Venturi, and most other Beemam rifles are made in china and marketed under the marksman name. So yep Beeman was designed for the American market, just who actually makes them is not real clear. It...

    HW/Weihrauch Who shoots 22 Weihrauchs at 50 yards or more?

    I am not a gun designer so.........all I know is that when you get used to the HW brand and happen to acquire a Beeman such as the R9 the search for pellets starts all over and I have never seen the Beeman rifles even come close to liking NO LEAD pellets. I tried and tried every pellet I could...

    Benjamin Trail NP XL

    You will find that the GTO shoots well in a fairly large variety of rifles. As does the Barracuda Green. They are expensive pellets, however if you take the time to weight them you will find great consistency in weight, cleanness, and almost perfect formation of each pellet, this all...

    HW/Weihrauch Who shoots 22 Weihrauchs at 50 yards or more?

    If you are shooting a true HW rifle and not the Beeman then I have a hint for you. Although HW and Beeman are of the same design, the barrels are drastically different......so I speak only of mainly the HW95 or HW80. This is a set of expensive pellets, however it has been my experience that...

    N/A PCP to Springer Recommendations

    If I were you I would hang unto that PCP, until you find out if you even like a springer. I love them, however it does take lots of practice , knowledge, and study of ballistic charts to get good with one. So hang unto that Dreamline as it is an excellent PCP. 800 to 900 FPS is ideal speed...

    UX notos, Artemis m60, or AGT Vixen?

    I bought an JTS Airacuda Max in .22 a couple weeks ago. So far at fifty yards it is just as accurate as my FX Crown. Kinda blocky in appearance, but very well made and no plastic. And it was 235 bucks at the local pawn shop, and new I think they run around 400 bucks. Still playing with it...

    What type of o ring to use to seal gauages on guns?

    Experience and age teaches us slowly. I always without fail liberally coat all o rings with silicone oil. Hand tight plus just a smig'eon is how I tighten them. Look for rough spots, little curls of metal, raised burrs etc, etc. Generally always something simple, once you find it you will...

    Traditional Rifle HW97 Thumbhole .22 for sale includes 6 by 24 Hawke Airmax scope

    Nice almost never used HW97 in .22 with 6-24 Hawke airmax scope. Has spent most of its life hanging on the wall and looking pretty. It likes GTO 11.75 no lead pellets and will shoot a .25 group at 50 yards with them. Regular lead pellets vary, with Hades a good choice as are the H and N FTT...
