    N/A PCP Hammerless system

    Actually, AlanMcD made a comment about the magazine earlier today so I question your comment but I do stand rebuked by the thread police. Feel better? David

    N/A PCP Hammerless system

    I fail to understand the criticism of the fixed magazine system of the Huben. It’s no different than than the loading system of the single action revolver going back to the 1840’s and just as easy to master. Speed? No slower than stopping to load pellets into a loose magazine and then load...

    Other Logun S16 and the Edgar Brothers XVI

    Now that is a very interesting and intelligent placement of the manometer, at the precise location tp view it without having to take the rifle off your shoulder. Why don’t more companies do the same? David

    EDgun Murphy’s Law - A cautionary tale

    To be honest, I don’t know. I just felt a blast of air and (I think) a small piece of the mag Nick my cheek. I need to give Wyatt or Brian a call and walk through the sequence with them. David

    EDgun Bipod for Bullpups

    I agree, I use a bipod on the Lelya to sight in only. I value it ss a light, compact fun platform and don’t try to turn into a substitute for my covey of long barreled long range critters, some of which I have posted here recently. David

    EDgun Bipod for Bullpups

    The Edgun Lelya 2 is about as short and compact as you can get in a bullpup. A recent thread raised a concern as to how one can find a way to mount a bipod where there is no lower rail mount or space for one. I suggested using a UTG overbore bipod, one not only less expensive than the others...

    EDgun Murphy’s Law - A cautionary tale

    Murphy’s Law provides that if you can assemble something backwards you eventually will do so. This weekend I loaded the magazines for my Lelya 2 without bothering to put on my reading glasses. After all, they are easy to load and I had done it before. Well, it turns out they are not just easy...

    Kral Arms Kral purchase

    Try Krale in the Netherlands or AirgunSource Canada. Both will accept pay in USD and will ship promptly to the US for very reasonable rates. Bought a Kral Empire XS in .25 on sale by Krale for $496 plus $29 For 3 day UPS TO Wisconsin. Avoid some of the Spanish dealers who charge exorbitant...

    BSA And Now For Something Completely Different— BSA R10 SE Walnut HP Thumbhole .25

    In contrast to my last, high tech’ post I just picked a BSA R10 SE Walnut HP Thumbhole .25 up from AOA. about as old school elegant as you can get. Yep, it’s bolt action but unlike the older iteration Gamo sells as the Urban .22, a nice gun for the price, the R10s are still carefully put...

    Taipan Taipan Veteran II Tactical aka Ugly Fat Pig

    As the last of the storms have blown out and the Sun has returned, I can now try to answer some of the above. First, the question as to 100 yard accuracy asked by the potential purchaser will have to wait. The wind is still fairly strong but at least steady so I could try for some testing but...

    Taipan Taipan Veteran II Tactical aka Ugly Fat Pig

    Taipan Taipan Veteran II Tactical aka Ugly Fat Pig

    So I just ducked outside to pop off a few rounds. The storm that just passed through left some high winds rolling in across Lake Michigan out of the NE so even the heavy .25s I loaded up with are only going to buck the wind so much so accuracy questions will have to wait. Four mags through...

    Taipan Taipan Veteran II Tactical aka Ugly Fat Pig

    Comments, sure. Trolling, no, and there is a difference. I wasn’t upset by the ugly comments or any of the opinions such as you are expressing above. It’s clear that you and other Taipan fans were put off by the Tactical’s appearance. That’s common any time a manufacturer introduces a new and...

    N/A Quietest Airgun

    I was out shooting my .22 with the Behemoth on my backyard range and my wife who was sitting on the back porch said she couldn’t hear the gun but only the clang as the 18.3s hit the steel targets. And the attachment system is the best and fastest on the market. Other makers should think about...
