    Pest gun question

    Evening everyone, My brother was telling me yesterday that he is having a bit of a pest problem, specifically with armadillos. He has the odd chipmunk or squirrel problem but we have enough raptors living around us that keep those problems under control so we don’t have to worry. He is finding...

    Shot another match today, couple new questions.

    Evening everyone, I went back to CMP this morning for another match and apparently learned enough to have some new questions. Once again everyone there was friendly as could be and very helpful. Two things I noticed this time were that about half the competitors were women in their mid...

    CMP event complete opposite from last week

    Evening everyone, Some of you may recall a thread I started a week ago at how impressed I was with a CMP airgun match In Aniston, AL I also mentioned that today was a rimfire match just down the road in Talladega. I had everything prepped and loaded and drove up, arriving right on time. Imagine...

    Things I noticed at a match today

    Evening everyone, i got on the road this morning well before sunrise to attend an air rifle match at CMP in Anniston AL and I must say, it was interesting in several ways. This event was open to multiple age groups all shooting against each other. I was clearly the oldest shooter as the others...

    Gauntlet moderator

    Evening everyone, I mentioned in a couple of other posts that I recently acquired a Gauntlet in .25. Now that the scope is set up properly I’m starting to pay more attention to the noise. It isn’t ridiculous but still noticeable. What would be a good moderator for this 1st generation rifle? In...

    Scope issue on a Gauntlet 1st gen

    Evening everyone, I recently bought a first generation Gauntlet in .25 from a classified ad here. It’s a very clean gun in good condition and I’m happy with it. I added a Crossfire 4-12 40 and am having a problem new to me. With air pressure well into the green and shooting at 10 meters it was...

    Airgun stores in Atlanta

    Afternoon everyone, I have to be in the Atlanta area tomorrow and will have to spend more time than I’d like just waiting around. Is there a good airgun dealer or source in the metro area? I still need to find some 30 cal pellets among other things. Thanks. Rick H

    FAC?

    Evening everyone, Quick question, while watching some videos on YouTube from Andy’s Airgun Review he’s made several references to FAC guns. What does this refer to? Since he’s British I am guessing it’s a type of airgun common to that country but I haven’t heard anything more than a reference...

    Point of impact shift

    Evening everyone, I was in my back yard this afternoon getting in a little practice with my Benjamin Trail and had an odd change in point of impact. 15.6 Gamo pellets, I was hitting 1/2” groups at 10 and 20 meters exactly at the point I was aiming for. All of a sudden POI shifted low and left...

    Need a comp rifle with max 600fpm

    Evening everyone, I've mentioned here a time or two that I purchased a Beeman CO2 rifle for use as a competition rifle. The CMP in Alabama has some matches throughout the year that interest me so I started asking around. The Beeman is one that uses one or two 12mg CO2 cartridges and will easily...

    Leaving a CO2 gun charged

    Afternoon everyone, I hope everyone had a happy Easter. Question about care and maintenance of PCP rifles. I have a Beeman AR2078A rifle bought new that I think I've mentioned here before. I'm assuming it is considered a PCP. This is a CO2 rifle and I'm assuming that I'm putting this...

    Classified ad question

    Morning everyone, And a wet one it is here in the south. I have a question about the classified ad section. I'm pretty new around here so that may have something to do with this. I found a rifle for sale I am interested in and it appears to still be available. When I get to the end there is...

    Regulator question

    Afternoon everyone, I've spent a lot of the last year or so learning more about higher end airguns and many of the smaller things that go along with them, tuning, parts, upgrades and so on. Honestly I had no idea when I first got interested that there are so many high quality guns that shoot...

    Beeman 2078A rounds capacity

    Afternoon everyone, Sorry if I made that title sound stupid. I have a 2078A that I bought late last year. Couldn't be happier with it but have a question. Using two 12mg Co2 cartridges loaded together how many shots should I be able to fire without losing pressure enough to cause it to shoot...

    Gamo Red Fire pellets quality

    Afternoon everyone, I was wandering aimlessly around Wal Mart this morning and thought I would take a look at their offerings for air gun shooting. I needed to stock up on .177 and .22 pellets anyway. I found Gamo Red Fire in both calibers and decided to try them out. The .22 are 15.4 grain...

    AR2078A round count without refilling?

    Morning everyone, Another question due to lack of experience or at least lack of practice. The CMP is having an air rifle match tomorrow in Anniston AL and I decided to give it a try. Not a long drive and should be fun plus it's an indoor match so the cold weather won't be such a problem. I'm...

    Springer maintenance

    Afternoon everyone, Still being new to springers, this forum and better air guns generally I've run into a question. I have a pair of Benjamin springers, a Trail and a Titan. I'd been hesitant to go with a break barrel as I'd never used one but they have been much better than I would have...

    .20 cal pellet aquisition?

    Afternoon everyone, I'm brand new here and while I'm not new to shooting in general, been at it since I was four, higher end airguns are more or less new to me. I had some Crossmans as a kid and still have them, a couple of 760's and the Co2 powered repeater, can't remember the model #...
