    Best PCP gun for under $700

    Marauders are tweaker rifles. If you are handy and enjoy messing around with them, they can be quite good. If you just want to have a predictable rifle out of the box, save your money. There are fantastic rifles in the 1400 dollar range. Believe me when I say, you will spend that much fixing the...

    Opinion about a Maurader modification

    If you want quick and easy, the WAR SSG is the way to go. Once you get the idea in your head, tuning couldn't be easier.

    EDIT: MTC Viper Pro question...

    Lots of air rifles have been hitting the mark before this. It may be a convenience, but I don't see it as a game changer. MTC makes fine scopes, you wont go wrong getting one with or without all the modern developments.

    Advice on what to buy for first air rifle

    Unless you're a tweaker I would skip the Marauder. There are lots of great choices in the 1200 dollar range, leaving you money for a pump and decent scope. My money would be on an S500. An S510 might be doable in that range too. Open the box, have a great time. With the Marauder, it might be...

    SSG

    Looks like you're on the back end of the curve. Your string should slope up gradually to 890 then down from there. I've forgotten the particular adjustments to make that happen, since I installed a regulator I don't think about that much anymore. There is a way, search the forums, someone spells...

    SSG

    Be mindful that the SSG is a shotcount upgrade, not a power upgrade. The WAR SSG costs about 100 bucks.

    HUMA regulator for Marauder questions

    I recently installed on in my .22 synrod. It was shooting fine before, I got about 40 shots per fill. My average fps was around 850 with CPD 14.3s. After the regulator install, I didn't file the screw, m gauge reads 2200lbs. I think its off 200lbs too much. Anyway I get about 50 shots at 860...

    Squirrel population density

    I think so. I have an account that I was pesting for ground squirrels. I didn't know it but the security guys were coming in on the weekends and picking them off. There were many hundreds of squirrels and the thought of doing any serious reduction in their population was laughable. UNTIL, they...

    Air Venturi HP4500 SCBA Valve to DIN adapter

    The 88cuft scba tank sold at Pyramyd has a different fill port, http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Air_Venturi_HP4500_SCBA_Replacement_Valve/4086, than airtanksforsale. I tried the chat help again at Pyramyd, this time they said I needed a female DIN that has a male foster fitting that would then go...

    Air Venturi HP4500 SCBA Valve to DIN adapter

    The dive shop that filled my 88 cuft scba tank the last couple of times had their adapter stolen. They said they weren't going to buy a new adapter anytime soon, but if I brought one in they would fill my tank. The chat guys at Pyramyd didn't know what adapter to recommend. What adapter do I...

    Woman scares robbers with a Marauder!

    So much for air guns flying under the radar. I don't think CA law will suggest "taking away our guns" but the added scrutiny might make it more difficult to buy and sell, and shoot in your back yard.

    Ok, Ok - I just gotta know

    For me, bullpups are a Ted thing. I never thought about them until I saw Teds videos, then I thought I gotta get me wanna those. Thankfully I'm too broke to act on impulse. I finally spent enough on my .22 Synrod to make it a keeper.

    Quietest PCP you own?

    My HUMA regulated .22 Synrod is pretty quiet. I thought it was a bit not so quiet until my son brought over his .22 Sumatra 2500. That thing got my ears ringing. Once we figured out the power dial, its not so bad on lowest settings, still not nearly as quiet and my Synrod, nor is it nearly what...

    Does anyone wear safety glasses when shooting your air rifles?

    Well this has been interesting. For myself, I'm going to start wearing them. Its no hassle, and when it's too late, it's really too late.

    Pellet Spiral

    The H&N Crow Magnums always spiraled out of my .22 Synrod. It was easy to see if the light was just right. I never messed with trying to make them work, I just used something else.

    The sad thing about airguns becoming so available.

    The animal thing is a symptom of poor ethical training and immaturity. The sad thing I was thinking of when I read the heading of this thread was as airguns become more available, its just a matter of time before some crazy head picks off a bunch of school kids. Then we are all going to feel the...
