Does anyone have a good way to make a sling work with a springer? Advice and pictures appreciated. Thanks

I was considering putting the Meopta Optika5 3-15x44 Z-plus on my HW50 for hunting and plinking. I looked thru one several weeks ago and while the image was super clear, my impression was the Z-plus reticle was a little too fine and dim for darker hunting scenarios. It seemed more like a target...

Are there any upcoming Airgun shows in either Oklahoma, Arkansas or Louisiana?

I’ve researched this topic on previous posts but didn’t find any consistent answers other than one individual listed his torque settings for all screws where others hand tightened. Some use blue locktite while others use vibra-tite. In an effort to better understand this issue here’s my brief...

I’ve got 500 break in pellets thru my new R7 and HW30 so it’s time to find the magic pill for each rifle. 1) I hear both clean bbl vs don’t clean bbl but I assume after 1000 shots it might be time to - advice please 2) When I change pellets (brands/weights) for accuracy testing, do I shoot 3 or...

I just got my first set of Sportsmatch rings (T02C) and have a question. The unmarked hex wrench they supplied fits the ring screws nice and tight. However, as I want to torque them properly, the best fit in the bits supplied in my Wheeler Fat Wrench set is marked 7/64. This one fits so loose...

I’m looling for a new portable, lightweight Doppler chronograph for my springers that is very easy to use. Does anyone have experience or recommendations between the Air Chrony and the FX Chronograph? Thanks

On my other springers, I’ve used the Sportsmatch T02C and T04C (medium height) with good results. For the HW50 I‘m getting, I was planning on ordering the Hawke 3-12X44 SF IR. However, it’s a 30mm tube. When I looked at the Sportsmatch 30mm offerings there was only one available in medium...

While my R7 is on the quite side, is there anything I can add to the barrel to make it even quieter. Priority is keeping it’s accuracy but I would like to shave off a few decibels if possible. Thanks

As the proud owner of my first air rifle (R7 in .177) I’m going to wear you guys out with questions. As I don’t have a local mentor, a lot of my info comes from YouTube which is scary. I’m glad I found this forum! l’ve got 100 shots thru the R7 and I absolutely love the rifle. Waiting on a...

I’m preparing to order a scope for my new R7 but just remembered that I’ve got several Leopold’s in the safe. One is a VariXlll 2.5-8 which would be a perfect match for the R7. While it’s not an EFR model, do you guys think a smooth light recoiling rifle like the R7 in .177 would blow up that...

I’m thinking about putting a Hawke 3-12X AO Compact on a new HW50 which will be used primarily as a hunting rifle with some serious target/plinking thrown in. My question is about Hawkes AMX reticle. The wires appear to be pretty thin. Do they fade out in hunting scenarios, against dark...

I want to move up from my R7 to something a little more powerful. I understand the spec differences on all three rifles but before I make a selection, I was wondering if there is any defined inherent accuracy differences between the 50 and 95 models in .177? I’ll want this rifle for longer...

Fist time member and poster here. I’ve got a new R7 headed my way and need some opinions on scopes that will compliment the light weight rifle. My budget is up to$400 and main use will be backyard target, plinking etc with ranges from 10 to 30 yards. Want to keep it on the lighter side with...
