    Traditional Rifle *$550!* Weihrauch HW97K .22 w/ Vortek PG4 spring kit

    Edit: Is my price off? Nobody shooting springers? I haven’t even had a bite. This is significantly less than you’d pay for a new 97K w/ PG4 kit, what am I doing wrong??? For sale is an excellent condition Weihrauch HW97K in .22 caliber. Aside from a few very small safe handling marks, the stock...

    Brown box Truck gone Wrong stories.

    I bought a few hundred bucks worth of pellets off AGN a few months back. They somehow got redirected across the country to my old address (which we moved from almost five months ago). Then returned to the sender’s UPS Store location, then BACK AGAIN to my old address!!! I finally had to pay an...

    Athlon Midas BTR Gen2 1-6x24 W/ ATSR16 MOA reticle

    Selling a like-new Athlon Midas BTR Gen2 1-6x24 scope with the ATSR16 MOA reticle in the second focal plane. This is actually a REALLY nice scope, but I’m an all mil/mrad guy and after some light use with this I think I’m going to stay that way. I’m looking for $425 shipped, no trades at this...

    FX Hybrid .25 slugs (690 total)

    I recently had a shipment of pellets arrive from a private seller that made the journey across the US four times (thanks for that monumental eff up, UPS…), and they got beat all to hell as a result. I don’t believe the box was insured, so I’m selling these to help me recoup some of the cost from...

    Why are all the GOOD looking springers discontinued??

    Hahah, first world problems, right?? You make a good point, the market changes and the manufacturers have to change with it, or else! It just seems that lots of better options (not necessarily just with regard to looks) have been discontinued in favor cheaper/faster to make options, and the...

    So which model is that in your photo? :)

    Why are all the GOOD looking springers discontinued??

    I don’t tend to buy low-quality firearms. My entry into airguns is admittedly on the lower end by design, so I can learn about them without fear of ruining something far more expensive. But the next purchase I make will be something made to last. And quite honestly, there’s no reason an...

    Why are all the GOOD looking springers discontinued??

    I see the value in a synthetic stock, especially for a hard-use rifle or someone who lives in a very wet environment. But a composite stock can still be made to look good (McMillan and Manners do it all the time). A lot of what I’m seeing in the airgun world is just… awful. See the post from...

    Why are all the GOOD looking springers discontinued??

    This same garbage went through a phase in the PB world. “Zombie green” ballistic tips on ammo, “biohazard” shaped reticles in EOTechs, etc. It’s a trashy marketing tactic, but some are dumb enough to fall for it. Go figure…

    Why are all the GOOD looking springers discontinued??

    WOW, that top rifle is gorgeous! I’ve had a few powder burners that were that nice, and they are not easy to come by!

    What is your story?

    I’ve been a gun guy all my life! Started as a kid with a cork pop gun and a few cap guns (remember the old paper reels of caps??). Got a little older and got to shoot Dad’s beer cans in the back yard with an old Daisy Red Ryder. A little later and I upgraded to Dad’s AIR17 SSP pellet rifle...

    Why are all the GOOD looking springers discontinued??

    There are, in my opinion, some clear benefits to PCPs, but nothing beats a good springer when it comes to simplicity. So I think you’re on to something there, companies make more profit with all the support gear, and many people new to the hobby probably don’t want to deal with learning to shoot...

    Why are all the GOOD looking springers discontinued??

    Like a lot of things, I apparently got into airguns a hair too late. Doh! However, the TX200 and HW97K both have my eye. Doing a lot of reading on both lately to see which I want to get first! :)

    Why are all the GOOD looking springers discontinued??

    It is!! In the PB world, CZ cut out the Full Stock line of rifles, and they’ve never been the same since. :( I suppose I’d better put my list in order of priority and start WTB ads for them all, haha.

    Why are all the GOOD looking springers discontinued??

    -Diana 340 N-Tec -Diana 430L -BSA Lightning XL SE -Basically any Stutzen/Mannlicher styled rifle -Walther LGV or LGU -Etc. There are some obvious exceptions, but in the $600 and under bracket, almost everything looks like a 2x4 with a barrel put on it. Every time I run across a new-to-me...

    Decent Pellet Prices

    I’ve done it several times on the PB side of the house. I’ll work a trade with someone, and buried in their lot of stuff I’ll find a box of ammo in a caliber I don’t have a gun for, or a part to a gun I don’t own. “Welp, guess I’m saving up to go shopping!” :LOL:

    4 weeks + 4 winners = 120 BOXES of slugs from NSA - week 2

    Woohoo, another chance! Been doing more reading on slugs and am really looking forward to getting a set up for them to extend my range and abilities. As a fan of long-range precision PB shooting, I’m looking forward to the challenge of doing the same with airguns and I think NSA’s gonna be at...
