From a guy with a Marauder with all the goodies, some basic advice. Yes, regulate, Yes, JSB, Yes do porting on the bore to valve pathway to improve airflow. After porting (but before you install regulator) shoot a shot string and monitor the velocity, at some point you will hit a knee where...

If this is a new behavior, it can be a sign the O-Ring in the barrel is failing.

45.57 That is really quite a complete package. And it is always good to confuse the folks at the range with an accurate air rifle.

Supply stories are rife among those who shoot powder burners right now as well. For those who have jumped into reloading, even they are discovering things like Primers and Powder have become almost unobtainable. 

Here is an old salt's advice on your choices. If you are handy and capable of doing upgrades, select the Marauder. It has the largest collection of upgrades of just about any PCP rifle ever made. Mine is upgraded, and ridiculous at the range. If you are not the sort to upgrade, then pick...

Most states which allow air rifles have 3 tiers for calibers. 1. caliber for small stuff like squirrels and rabbits. 2. caliber for pests and "fur bearers". 3. caliber for "big game", which may or may not include deer/hogs/bears/mountain lions/etc. I have one of each caliber, but those...

We have all seen the commercials, I am certain "flex seal" will make it right as rain ;)

I thought I was immune to needing a compressor. But thanks to Covid, the local paint ball arena has closed. Along with that closure, it ended my cheap access to 4500 PSI air. It is horrifying being in the market for a compressor. We have all seen an endless parade of "compressor messiahs"...

Solid review, there are so many choices out today, and it can be mind-numbing to make a choice. The Generation 2 Argos are definitely a step up from the generation 1 Argos. I have a Gen 1 on a Benjamin Bulldog, and a Gen 2 is inbound. It will be going on a bench gun with a bi-pod, so...

Now to glue together all the great "bits" put in various comments (without references to avoid glory or shame). I want my airguns to achieve a different goals than at least 50 percent of the airgun shooters out there. I want it accurate, and VERY economical on the use of air. Weight is less...

When going to the gun range with a woman, always carry a magnet in your pocket. If she out-shoots you, pretend to pull the magnet from the back of HER target after you walk down the range to inspect. Let them know you put the magnet behind her target to "attract the metal in the pellet". ...

I note some things which are known, but were not previously discussed. First of all, there are American air rifles which leave the factories with suppression. There are many articles on the Benjamin Marauder, which refer to it being the "gold standard for quietness" thanks to the baffled...

Much of what I built my Marauder with was Hill parts (hammer, valve, transfer port tube), and they have proven to be solid products. Keep in mind that if you are pursuing the 900 plus FPS range, your choice of pellets are critical. Many out there lose accuracy once they are pushed past about...

Skip to about 28 minutes into the video, that is when he STARTS talking about the Omega portable compressor.

If that is a generation II Marauder with a stock bolt... it partially covers/impedes flow from the transfer port into the barrel. (from the picture your bolt looks changed, but I did not see it in the parts list). I re-contoured my bolt (where it rests over the transfer port when the bolt is...

How many pellets have you put through it. I have seen a lot of air rifles which do not strut their stuff until you are north of 1000 pellets. When determining accuracy, 20 yards is mighty short. You will have a better feel for accuracy when you have stretched it out to 40 to 50 yards. Then...

Double nod, check it out first.

Is the barrel removed from the action?

The information would be more usable, if they stated what the weight of the 72 caliber pellet was. Then that could be converted to an actual velocity. That would define the ballistic curve (to a large degree), and help people figure out how far they could shoot. 

A clear statement on any air rifle. Eventually O-rings and seals fail, time always wins; there are no exceptions. Eventually you will be inside any air rifle you buy. Some are easier to work on than others. Some, you will swear were designed by malicious gnomes, hell-bent on causing...
