    Bipod

    I have two Harris bipods, a short and a long. They aren't that expensive and are proven to last forever if not missued.

    depressurize much??

    Thanks fellas, I had no real need to depressurize, but this Umarex Gauntlet 2 is my first PCP and I have nobody to turn to with silly questions like this. I have depressurized it once just to see how it's done with the key in the stock, but have been leaving it up to pressure other than that...

    depressurize much??

    I honestly have no idea, thus I'm asking the question. How often do you folks depressurize your PCPs? Reasoning??

    Some Umarex G2 .25 numbers

    Thanks for posting that Nobody. I don't get on every day so didn't see it right away. That link is even cheaper than I got mine. Great little device for it's intended purpose.

    Some Umarex G2 .25 numbers

    I was bitten by the curiosity bug and bought one of the $30 clamp on Chronographs. Didn't expect much but it seems to work just fine. So I did a bit of testing on the 5 most promising pellets I have on hand. These are not accuracy tests. Just speed tests. I also checked around on the Google net...

    Umarex G2 .25 Data

    First let me say I am blown away so far with this thing. My prior experience with air rifles had been a Crossman 760 and a Sears 140 in .22. This is different, to say the least. Let me also say that I went on Amazon and bought one of the inexpensive, clamp on chronographs for around $35...

    65 yds.

    Haven't seen him for a few days and feel pretty confident that his lead level was high enough to be fatal. I have slugs here that I haven't tested yet. Just ordered a chrony today so I can start dialing the gun in for real and serious. So far I've only shot 4 different pellets and have no idea...

    65 yds.

    Yesterday that foolish groundhog at the corner of the neighbors drive let me see him. MISTAKE!!!! I had previously lasered the pine tree the hole is under at 61 yds from my window. By the time I got the gun out and window open he had wondered down the edge of the disced field in the lawn eating...

    Mystery Machine I got no clue...need help to identify.

    Wouldn't by chance be a single shot tranqualizer gun would it? Just wondering.

    Looking to upgrade

    Nobody has mentioned Umarex. I have a Gauntlet 2 in .25 cal. I bought the gun, scope, bipod, and compressor for less than your budget. It is a great gun. I know this gives you another brand to look at but do check it out. I was in the same boat a year or so ago and this is what I have and am...

    Hi Folks

    Welcome, Pretty new here myself. Have had and shared some good information that has helped me level out the learning curve quite a bit. shot powder burners all my life including benchrest competitions. Lot of fun, and just as much to learn about this as there was with those rifles.

    Anyone ordered from this particular supplier?

    I got a box of those when I forst got my PCP .25 They are not uniform, seem to be of very slack QC, but were the second or third most accurate out of my Rifle. Heck they're easily good for an inch at 35 yds.. Easily!! Try some B&N Barracuda Hunter Extreme's... Half inch at 50.;.

    anyone using a monopod shooting stick?

    I would agree with that. Also get the $14 shallow V shaped rest for the top of it. Standard 1/4-20 base and it works great.

    G2 Umarex .25 first pellet test.

    Been to busy having fun to run the new pellet tests. I will soon. Probably get it down the best 3-4 and then get the chrony out and see if it even still works.

    anyone using a monopod shooting stick?

    I got one of these.. It's great. The squirrel I hit was the longest shot of the day. sitting, with the monopod and this rest in front of me, leaning back against a tree. ROCK stable. Went right where the crosshair was. Very satisfying to hear that THOK!!! followed by the thump of ground...
