Could this be the best value LRF, ballistic calculator, infrared difital scope??? At $592 I certainly think it is exceptional value.

Post a pic or a short video of a confirmed (DRT), long distance head shot you have made, pellets only (no slugs). Provide the caliber, pellet make and weight, distance and species. Minimum 70 yards. Show us what you’ve got…

Not sure if you are able to slow this video down to see what the pellet actually does, but it blew my mind! Rifle was an Air Arms S510 in .177, pellet is a JSB Exact 8.44gr doing about 813fps, zeroed at 35yards, usually a DEADLY combination, I’ve literally taken hundereds of rabbits with this...

Hi Folks, So I used to have a 48, which I owned for many years and loved very much. I had to sell it a few years ago, not by choice, and I’ve wanted another ever since. So I put an add onto my local air rifle forum (much smaller then this one) asking if anyone wanted to sell a second hand 54 or...

Hi Folks, Does anyone know if this model was made in china or Germany? Are they any good? And what would the equivalent HW model be? Many thanks Pete.

I’d love to know if the winners of all the big bench rest and ELR competitions lube their slugs, or if they just shoot them “stright out the box”. Would be interesting to know the percentage of podium winners that use lube vs those that don’t. Pete.

Does anyone know if the HW97’s found outside of the UK produce more then 12fpe? Pete.

For the 54/56 gurus… Hi Folks, I’m looking at buying a second hand 54. What should I be looking out for with regards to wear and tear parts, things that commonly fail or might need replacing? Many thanks, Pete.

Hi Folks, Just uploaded another rabbit culling video. Lots of day and night shooting with my Pard DS35, and a sneak peak at a S510 .25cal I’m going to be using for culling in future videos. Hope you enjoy…

I’ve just uploaded a rather inspirational video about my little Elly. I’ve called it “The little .177 that could!” 😂😂😂 Also just uploaded a video showcasing her work a few days ago. I finally got my head around adding some back ground music too. Each persons taste in music is quite a personal...

Here’s a question for the more informed members of this forum… What makes an air rifle quieter…? Barrel length, 500mm vs 600mm vs 700mm? Shrouded barrell? Fully shrouded or no shroud? Moderator/silencer size, length and or thickness? Empty or baffled? Is one factor more important that others...

I’ve just finished testing the H&N sample pack of hunting pellets. Got a real big surprise at 80m!!! Wasn’t expecting that result and can’t explain why it happened 🤔 If your interested here is the link

In my first pest control video a forum member asked “what was that critter you shot?” It was a brush tail possum from Australia. I have just uploaded my second pest control video and there are two of them in this video, so you can get a better idea of what they look like and how they move...

Hi Guys, Has anyone tried using radio controlled car shock oil as a pellet lube? I believe it is silicone based so dieseling should not be a problem. There are different weights (viscosity’s) avalible from 20 to 45. I’m thinking the thinnest, 20 might be worth trying. If you have any experience...

Hi Folks, So I quit my job and I’ve taken the big leap of faith and started a little business doing full time professional pest control culling rabbits here in New Zealand 😳 I’ve just created my first pest control video and uploaded it to a YouTube channel I’ve just created. Have a look and...

I’ve heard stories of this happening, but always just dismissed them as urban legends. Tonight I saw it happen with my own two eyes! I was out culling rabbits and came across a group of 3 of them. I always choose the closest one to start with because if the others bolt at the first shot, at...

Hi Folks, Any recommendations for the best material to use to shim a scope, and any tips on the best way to go about it? Many thanks, Pete.

How many FPE are needed to get a pellet to deform…? I’ve often wondered why pellet manufacturers don’t make softer “hunting” pellets, from softer lead, which will deform, mushroom and dump all their energy into the target, there by helping with hydrostatic shock, making bigger holes, doing more...

Hi Folks, Can anyone tell me anything about the Weihrauch HW57? It is an under lever, but I’ve ever heard of one. I am familiar with the HW97 and the HW77 (I think those are the correct numbers) which are both under levers and are superbly accurate, but I know nothing about a HW57. I have the...

Now there’s an interesting question! Was having a discussion today about barrel lifespans and shooting out an air rifles barrel. Super hot powder burners like the 220Swift are well know to burn out barrels prematurely with their 4000fps velocities, a barrel might only last 2000 or even only...
