    Decent Inexpensive High Pressure Compressors

    Any suggestions as to an inexpensive reliable high pressure compressor (under $300) - if such an animal exists? I have seen a few on Amazon between $220 and $275, but don't know what kind of quality they are. I currently have an Air Venturi G9 hand pump which I can deal with OK, but don't want...

    Tuning Suggestions to Reduce Moisture with Hand Pumping

    Currently got a BSA Buccaneer SE .22 a few months ago that I pump with an Air Venturi G9 hand pump. From what I understand, there are no desiccant packs/add-ons that will fit this pump. I am concerned about getting too much moisture in the cylinder that will eventually lead to it rusting out -...

    Rotary Magazine Spring Wear

    Regarding 10-shot rotary style magazines for PCP's, is it best NOT to have any rounds in them for a certain amount of time so that the internal spring does not weaken? I have a Gamo-type that is used for the .22 BSA Buccaneer and am wondering if I should leave the magazine without any rounds...

    Wood Stock Prep

    Just received a wood stock to replace the sticky rubberized one that came with the new BSA Buccaneer SE I bought (Gamo was EXCELENT regarding this and sent me a new wood stock at no charge even though I had not registered the warrantee yet). Before putting the wood one on the rifle, I was...

    BSA Buccaneer SE Silentium Stock Stickiness

    Just got a new BSA Buccaneer SE Silentium .22 yesterday and, when unboxing it this morning, noticed that the black stock is VERY sticky. I had a hard time removing the plastic as well as the cardboard protectors. I did not have a chance to try anything on it this morning to see if the...

    Air Venturi Avenger .22 vs. BSA Buccaneer Silentium .22

    In moving into PCP's from the springer and nitro powered break-barrel rifles, I have narrowed my choices down to either the Air Venturi Avenger or the BSA Buccaneer Silentium based on reviews, research, and feedback. It seems that the BSA is probably a better built rifle, but the Avenger can be...

    Best All-Around PCP .22 Rifle for $300+/-

    Having a history mainly with break-barrel rifles, Imy knowledge of PCP's is very limited; however, I am getting tired of the time it takes to reload a break-barrel combined with the greater recoil that results from the piston hitting the end of the air chamber. Based on some reviews on the DAR...

    DAR Gen II .22 Leak

    After finally getting the fill probe to fit and then sighting the rifle in for approximately 40 rounds, I refilled the air again to just below the recommended limit. When picking up the rifle the next morning to see about sighing in a scope that I just reset to factory zero, I noticed that...

    DAR Gen II .22 Sight-In

    Regarding a DAR Gen II .22 rifle I recently bought, I am working on sighting it with a couple sights I have. The open reflex sight did not take long, but sits up rather high to get it out of the way of the magazine, which may affect its accuracy at further or closer ranges. The other sight I...

    Hand pump for DAR Gen II .22 Rifle

    Since I am having trouble getting the fill probe of the DAR Gen II rifle I just got to seal properly in the female end of the Air Venturi G9 hand pump, are there any other decent but affordable hand pumps that the DAR fill probe WOULD fit better in? In the mean time, I am going to keep trying...

    Tuning DAR Gen II .22 Fill Probe Leak Issues

    Got a DAR Gen II .22 rifle about 10 days ago and attempted to fill it to the recommended pressure with an Air Venturi G9 hand pump that I purchased a couple weeks previously. The hand pump held pressure fine when tested, but when I attached the DAR fill probe and attempted to pressurize the...

    Decent Higher Grain .22 Pellets

    Ordered a DAR Gen II .22 rifle this week and I currently have Crosman Premier .22 hollow point pellets; however, I would like to find something a little heavier than 14.3 grains to shoot in this rifle that has better knockdown ability for critters that may be a little larger than eastern gray...

    DAR Gen II vs. Umarex Gauntlet

    Being new to PCP's, I have done some research regarding various .22 rifles below $340 and have narrowed my search down to the DAR Gen II and the Umarex Gauntlet. The only thing that would keep me from choosing the DAR is the barrel length (about 6 inches shorter than the Umarex) which I assume...
