    Massive Scam?

    I just got an ad on Facebook for a giant closeout sale at Leupold. When I clicked on the link it, it took me to what seems like Leupold's home site, but everything is being sold at 79% off. That is just too good to be true. I wonder how many poor sods are falling for this? I saw something...

    FX New First...Not a Good Thing, Stuck Slugs in Barrel!

    It will cost a little more than a tank of gas. Need cheap, but still a better deal than eggs!

    Reticle $

    It seems illuminated reticles are all the rage nowadays. I suspect a lot of manufacturers are putting a lot of advertising $ into making the the illuminated reticles a major selling point on their scopes. For example, in looking at the choices for reticles with the Titan line of Element scopes...

    FX New First...Not a Good Thing, Stuck Slugs in Barrel!

    Turns out it did bulge the sleeve, I have to replace it.

    FX New First...Not a Good Thing, Stuck Slugs in Barrel!

    I thought that the slug had been shot, but at very low power. It was stuck at the end of the barrel. So, no anti double feed mechanism would have helped the situation.

    I’m not sure I understand your response.

    FX New First...Not a Good Thing, Stuck Slugs in Barrel!

    In 25 years of airgunning I have never accidentally double loaded my chamber...until today. I was zeroing with 37gr Wildman slugs in my new FX King, my main pressure was higher than my regulator(125bar), so I thought I would be good to get a zero, then fill the tank and commence to sniping...

    Please Explain

    In fact my exam was at Costco. I did not buy my new lenses from them because they needed to keep my frames and I didn’t have a spare with me, so I went to my regular shop where they have my records.

    Nickel, Dime, Dollars 😂

    If you lived here in California, near Fresno, you would never say you never had an A/C in a 100 year old house. I grew up without A/C and swore as a child that on day I would live in the lap of luxury with an A/C in both my house and in my car...and I would use em both as much as I wanted!

    I stopped washing my underwear a long time ago, so no problem there.

    Daystate I do not know if should be angry or happy.

    I would never trust myself to re-crown a barrel...I cannot even hammer a nail straight! No way I'm gonna try and center a crown on a barrel by hand. How deep and at what angle must the cut be in order to maximize precision? I always thought that crowns needed to be done in a shop by a highly...

    Scope recomendations?

    I have 2 Meopta Optika 5's...a 4-20X44 and a 4-20x50 with parallax adjustment down to 10yds and simple MOA reticles. The 4-20x44 is on my FX King. The Meopta's are well made, but not as good as my Leupold VX3HD 6.5-20x40 EFR. I would put that Leupy on my FX King if it had a more suitable...

    Please Explain

    How can a scope or a pair of binoculars cost less than my new eye glasses? Today I spent over 5 C notes to get new prescription lenses put into my frames. There is one piece of plastic per lens in my glasses made with what I assume is a computer controlled lens cutter, and I would not be...

    ISO H&N Precision 22cal 33gr Slugs

    I have some H&N 22cal Precision 34gr slugs on back order at Pyramid, but it could be few weeks before they come in. In the meantime, if you know of source, I'm interested.

    FX Don't Quite Understand?

    Gracias, very clear. I just wish the manufacturers would more thought and effort into their owner's manuals. It would make for less headaches and fewer warranty repairs.

    FX Don't Quite Understand?

    I have an FX King with a 600mm barrel. Right now I am shooting 22gr FX Hybrids, but will probably switch to H&N Precision 33gr slugs when they come in(I have them on back order at Pyramid Air).

    FX Don't Quite Understand?

    How do the regulator/macro adjustment/micro adjustment wheel work together? If I change the regulator setting, does that have anything to do with the power at the muzzle? If so, how does that work? I watched a video in which a guy who was showing how to tune a Panthera, said that the macro wheel...

    Air guns : An addiction or an expensive hobby

    A year ago, I was happy with the airgun/scope(Air Arms S410/Meopta Optika 5 scope) combination I have had since 01, but I was neck deep into DIY high end stereo speakers. Three years ago I was happy with my Bushnell binoculars from Big 5, but was glamored by the Meopta binoculars. Two years ago...

    Goldilocks Price Range

    I'm of the opinion that scopes(new) in the $400 to $800 range are where the best bang for the buck are living. That being said, I made the mistake of shopping around and found the Zeiss Conquest V4's focus from 10yds to infinity, but they are in $1,200 price range! I have absolutely no reason to...
