    Why such a sudden change in POI?

    Evening everyone, I ran into a problem with my Beeman AR2078A a few months ago. I use this rifle exclusively for shooting CMP matches, bought just for that reason. It’s been a good accurate rifle especially if I’m shooting well. I went to a match in October if I recall and had crappy day. I had...

    Umarex Air leak? Gauntlet 2

    Afternoon everyone, I just came in from hand pumping my Gauntlet 2 in .25. I have a feeling it has an air leak but maybe it’s more or less normal and maybe I’m doing something wrong. About a week or so ago it was pumped up to about 3000 psi. It is supposed to be cocked and locked to firing...

    QD port??

    Evening everyone, I was looking through the instruction book for my recently acquired Umarex Gauntlet 2. Yes, I do spend some time doing that sort of thing. In a reference photo it shows something in the left side of the stock labeled a QD port. Nowhere in the rest of the instruction book is...

    Olympic airgun shooters?

    Evening everyone, I don’t know if this is the right place for this but here it is. I recently acquired a used 10 meter Anschutz I intend to use in 15 meter matches. It’s got a few years on it but shoots very well at 15. I found some YouTube videos of 10 meter competition at the Olympics and...

    New target rifle

    Evening everyone, I hope I’m putting this in the right place. A few weeks ago I had a disappointing match at the CMP in Anniston AL. Two days before the match I shot a sub 1-inch 60 shot group. At the match I shot a 4+ inch group. I think the problem is me, not the rifle, but it gave an excuse...

    Crosman Looking for a replacement stock for Crosman 760

    Evening everyone, I’m one of those people who enjoys classic or vintage things in good working condition. I probably spend more time refurbishing RC airplanes than I do building new ones and there seems to be a new one on the workbench every day!😵 What I’m interested in here at the moment is...

    I can’t figure this out.

    Afternoon everyone, I can’t figure this out. I just got back from another rifle match at the CMP in Anniston AL. I practiced for this last week. At that time, shooting from a standing position, I was able to put 60 rounds into about an inch, which was good enough for me. I was shooting the same...

    A very boring post

    Yeah it’s still so hot out that I haven’t done anything any more interesting than this. I finally got my match rifle out for some practice. I don’t think I’ve even shot this gun all summer but it was still holding gas. After putting fresh CO2 in it apparently I didn’t tighten the cap properly...

    Shot the 160 today

    Evening everyone, For the first time in nearly a month I was able to do a little backyard plinking with my recently acquired Crosman 160. Outside temps in the 90’s and humidity at about 160% but at least the wind was down. Shooting scoped at 15 meters the groupings were pretty good, 1/2-3/8...

    New to me Crosman 160

    Evening everyone, Friday I was able to pick up a beautifully restored Crosman 160 in .22. It uses two 12 mg co2 cartridges. It’s been modified to use 10 round Marauder magazines and has a single shot block as well. I’m told it’s grouping sub moa at 25 yards with three different pellet weights...

    Crosman 160 opinions

    Evening everyone, I found a restored Crosman 160 recently and am going to pick it up next week. It looks very nicely restored and comes with a scope, not sure which one at the moment. It uses a pair of Co2 cartridges. A little research indicates there were three variants produced between 1959...

    New/old pistol

    I was at my favorite repair emporium yesterday and found a very nice target rifle and this restored pistol. It’s a restored Crosman 1377 in .177. The first pump up pistol I ever tried and for the money, as usual, I couldn’t leave it.I put maybe 10 through it a little while ago and can say that...
