    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.

    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...

    Sguirrel hunt

    Had the chance to take the Umarex G 2 in .25 to the woods this morning. After a little test session yesterday, the H & N Barracuda Hunter Extreme pe;;ets were most accurate. Let me tell you.. This is a squirrel machine. I was reaching 25-30 yds on my longest shot.. Enter behind right...

    Tuning Gauntlet 2 trigger tune

    Of course the first thing I did when I got my new G2 was take it apart and make sure it was gunk free. The factory setting of the trigger was atrocious! about 3/8" of travel before a totally unpredictable break!! Upon closer inspection the trigger is basically the same design (translated into...

    Initial impressions of the Gauntlet 2 in .25 cal.

    Yesterday I got to do a feeble attempt at zeroing the scope on my new G2. I bought the Tasco 4-12X. I was so tired of not being able to get this thing at least usably zeroed for the back yard groundhog invasion going on. To this point I've been slinging lead in the form of the Ruger 10/22...

    anyone using a monopod shooting stick?

    I bought an inexpensive vidpro telescoping aluminum monopod. My question is, have any of you done this and manufactured a yoke to screw into the 1/4-20 screw in the top of the monopod? If so can you share any design or tips. Many years ago my brother and I designed and built a lightweight and...
