    What's Wrong With This Image?

    Anybody see what's wrong with this supposedly brand new Athlon scope?

    Is 6X too Much?

    Is 6x too much magnification for small game hunting inside of 50 yards? Thinking that I might want an Athlon Midas Tac 6-24 mainly for target shooting, but don't want to limit my ability to pop a squirrel if one gets in the way.

    Atlas Airguns - Small Family Business with BIG TIME Friendliness

    A week ago I messaged Atlas Airguns with a few questions about the BRK Ghost HP. Rather than reply, he immediately called and within mins into our conversation it was like I've known him forever. We discussed my questions, got squirreled on other topics, then circled back to why I called. The...

    Yong Heng - 1st Round of Maintenance

    I decided to do a bit of maintenance to my Yong Heng after its first 1.5 hours of use. I changed out the cotton "tampon" filter as well as the molecular sieve, changed the oil, and removed the automatic shutoff gauge assembly and replaced it with a remote gauge up at the main level so it would...

    Left Handed Problem - Almost

    So while I'm completely right handed, for some crazy reason I've shot left handed since the early 70s, so long now there's no starting over. My lady purchased a FX Wildcat that's a blast to shoot, but I have to single load. Looking for a similar size rifle, two have stood out the most, the RTI...

    BDC Scopes and PCP?

    Have any of you ever used a scope with a BDC reticle and been able to related your trajectory with the BDC markings inside the scope in a useful way? I can't help but think you'd just have to be lucky to find the right projectile and speed to make use of more than maybe 2 dots. Opinions and...

    Yong Heng Gauge Question

    I have a new YH with less than an hour on it and it's equipped with the auto shut off gauge. While filling a new FX rifle last night the YH gauge showed @ 250bar and shut down automatically. However the gun's bottle gauge showed much less. I turned the YH up to @300bar and the gun only showed...

    Are FX Rifles Really This Unreliable?

    10 days in and a brand new Wildcat MK3 BT hasn't functioned more than a few mags without having to be worked on. The gun arrived with @ 195 bar and we shot 3 mags through it, maybe 10 pellets sighting it in then 2 mags each. We filled the bottle and left. The next morning it had leaked about...

    New Wildcat MK3 Keeps Blowing Reg Seals

    Last Friday my lady received a brand new Wildcat MK3 BT in .22 cal. We shot 3 mags through it on the fill that it arrived with, filled it up to 300bar and left it. The next morning the bottle was maybe half full and I could hear a slight hiss coming from the front/bottle reg. After removing...

    FX Wildcat MK3 BT - Exploded Diagram?

    My lady's Wildcat arrived yesterday and sprung a leak while we were out to dinner. Just before bed I thought that I'd check the bottle pressure only to find it had last @ 50% of its fill in about 2 hours. I picked it up and could hear a slight hiss near the bottle connection. Instinctively I...

    I Might Be Jealous - Her 1st PCP

    I've been lurking around since the early 90s and remembering Jonesing over a Career 707 and Sam Yang 909, not to mention the Beeman RX-1, one of the first gas spring piston guns I ever knew made. I still have both my RWS and Beeman catalogs from back then, my old RWS 48, and a pristine copy of...

    FX Wildcat MK3 BT Length of Pull

    My lady friend is contemplating her first PCP purchase and the FX Wildcat MK3 BT is her front runner. However she's smaller than most and shoots youth models and needs a length of pull to match. Anybody know what the length of pull is for a FX Wildcat MK3 BT?

    Ready for My First PCP

    I've been lurking around for decades, shooting springers occasionally since the early 90s. No more! I've ordered a custom tuned and modified PCP rifle and I think I'm ready for it.

    SPA/Snowpeak M16A Length of Pull

    Anybody happen to know the length of pull on an Artemis M16A? Curious if it will fit someone under 5' tall.

    Scope Mounts for Sub 50ft/lb PCP

    Newbie and curious if my assumption is correct. Do you need a heavy one piece scope mount system for a sub 50ft/lb PCP? I'm assuming since they're not like springers you just need a decent 2 piece mount capable of hanging on as you toss the gun around more so than overcoming the forces...

    My 1st PCP - Recommendations?

    Looking for experienced recommendations for my first PCP. First off, I like the idea of getting a decent gun at a good price, even if tinkering is required. I'm pretty handy, mechanical and have access to machine shop if need be. Currently I like the idea of the Air Venturi Avenge-X series...
