Isn't that what this forum is? We introduce ourselves, "Hi, my name is Mike, and I'm an airgun addict", or something like that, we say how airguns have affected our lives, we ask for help on how to change our airgun habit, put our faith into a higher power when shooting far away or in the wind...

Leaving a spring-piston airgun cocked has been tested, and is fine for the gun: https://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2022/03/how-long-can-you-leave-that-mainspring-cocked/ That noted, I try to know my limits: I'm that idiot they have in mind when they say not to leave a gun cocked and loaded.

Me too, but here's a trick that helps my brain: A commonly taught way to hold a gun is to keep the grip forefinger pointing straight until it is time to shoot, and then curl it to the trigger to release the shot. Think of that pointing finger as shooting at the target. When I do that and look...

The Pro looks to be around $350. at the current rate of exchange. And it's in stock.

I just received an Immersive 5x30 "regular" (not Pro) from a shop in the UK, no restrictions, no fuss at all, took 10 days to arrive after I ordered it. $316. including shipping (wait, that included a wheel too, so only around $300.), way cheaper than $600 for the Element version. I understand...

In California your Texan is welcome no matter how it self-identifies.

You have exemplary self control to not shoot the deer, squirrels and 'gators. Good thing you can let it all out on that feeder post.

Some breakbarrels have one long piece between the barrel and the piston, while others have two shorter pieces in an articulated linkage. Two pieces in a cocking lever makes the cocking a lot easier. For example this Diana 34, an ~18ft# gun, has only one lever piece...

Search this site for those two guns and you should find both the parts schematics and the size o-rings that you'll be replacing. Odds are you won't need special parts, just a source for the specific size rings. I found the repair easy to do, you just need a clean space.

For that distance at that pest in a residential area, I wouldn't go over .177 and would want quiet. If it has to be a pistol, I might pick a Hatsan Mod 25 in .177 for that job. 7-8 ft# and pretty quiet, and with a little practice will be accurate enough at that distance. Get the spring version...

Amateur here, but at first play I find the height of the scope determines the "point blank range", or the flatter part of the trajectory from the shooter's perspective. High mount means a further, if not shorter, PBR; low is closer. That all said, I understand the consistency of the cheek-weld...

Thanks for that tip! I see they have adapters for the Diana Chaser too. Great website too, love their attitude!

If your goal is "pretty fun pest control", then sure, a feeder will control the pests to be in a particular place to be shot, and insure a steady stream of targets marching up to the trough. I have to wonder though if that will really keep them off the eaves and roof, especially if that is the...

I like to try to understand why things are the way they are, like, why do I miss so much? I can understand that if a barrel points in slightly different directions as it harmonically wobbles about, then I'll miss a little less if I can time the pellet to leave around when the barrel is changing...

A Hatsan Mod25 Tact or pistol (Browning 800Mag) might be on the list. The pistol is big for a pistol but the Tact is pretty small for a rifle/shoulder gun. 7 ft# is typical, 8 if one tunes it a bit. Cheers, Mike

Don't return it, sell it here! You could probably make some money. Mike

Well when it does, we all now know toward which State to swim. The Panama Canal locks might be a challenge; I suggest we all rent a yacht.

What is that, your EKG when you're taking those 120 yard shots?

Tyler, I'm very impressed by your shot string, ~30fps spread over 30 shots (you might try 50psi higher starting pressure), is better than I saw on my stock Condor. And if you enjoyed tuning for that, I think you'll really enjoy a "Ring-loc" top hat orifice kit. MikeinPasadena has one NIB for...

There was just a post about the ring-lock kit but it may have been deleted. And someone a while back stated that the AF guns should come standard with that kit, and I agree, although just having an available kit also works. (MikeinPasadena had/has one on the classifieds for $45!) I have...
