    Semi-Auto PCP Bullpup List

    If you’re going to pay twice as much then I’d probably step up to a Sidewinder or a Mordax, but those unfortunately only have a 12 round capacity. I’d really like to see someone else get into the select fire game. Maybe Evanix? They’ve done it before. Epoch certainly could do a good job of...

    Crossman 760, so disappointing.

    $188 is actually a reasonable price for a well built entry level gun. That's about what my CO2 Barra 1866 cost and its just a plinker too. You can't get wood and metal or even good polymer for a cheap plastic price. I'd like to see the Taiwanese start producing replicas of the old...

    Crossman 760, so disappointing.

    A 760 was the second airgun I ever had, (the first was a Daisy that was destroyed when our house was burglarized), but I don’t have any nostalgia for it. I saved up for a 766 and that outclassed the 760. I’m actually extremely disappointed with the state of multipump rifles. There’s no...

    He reported honestly on its not so long term reliability. That's the kind of thing we're always asking reviewers to do.

    N/A Why don't PCPs all have safety burst disks?

    I had a pressure failure once when I overcharged my S410. Air Arms did do a pretty good job of engineering a safe failure point into the design. The way the reservoir is designed, it's weakest point is after the threads at the muzzle end so if it fails the thin area mushrooms out and the...

    Cheap Cleaning

    I've used fishing line before. 50 lb. test works well so long as it doesn't have to pass through baffles.

    I wish I had known about it. I don't really have a field target rifle, but I live in Tacoma and would have loved to have met up and talked airguns.

    eBay restrictions on California buyers - I’ve had enough!

    That's interesting. The experience I had is that I opted to "buy it now" on a resealed Crosman 1100 only to not be able to complete the transaction due to my location. I shut down my VPN and tried two other shipping addresses that I sometimes use within the state only to get the same message...

    Theoben All in on .20

    It's not just the pellets, it's the lack of .20 options with new guns. Weihrauch is one of the only companies still making them and even with them they are practically a special order item. I'd love to get a .20 ProSport.

    if I may interject an observation about springers and pcps is this

    It's the grab and go factor that springers really excel at. As an example, an HW95 just has great balance and handling, accuracy and trigger pull are excellent, power is more than adequate for small game such as rabbits and most importantly you can just grab the rifle and a tin or two of...

    Theoben All in on .20

    Yeah, I think it really is almost the ideal caliber for power levels between 10 and 25 fpe. It's a shame it has become so uncommon.

    if I may interject an observation about springers and pcps is this

    It's obviously possible to do a bad job of designing and building a PCP, but a PCP really doesn't require the same level of precision to make well as does a springer. The proof of this is that your average self taught, amateur machinist can make a decent custom PCP just using a few off the...

    if I may interject an observation about springers and pcps is this

    Another thing to keep in mind about spring guns is that they require a higher level of precision to build right than your average PCP. A break barrel for example has to line up precisely the same with every shot, align properly with the receiver for optics and be strong enough to work as a...

    if I may interject an observation about springers and pcps is this

    I've got 3 nice springers, HW95, TX200 and an R7 and they're all quite accurate. All of them needed some work right out of the box however and none of them were cheap. I could probably match their performance with a sub $500 PCP without trying very hard and none of them could match a $1500...

    Huben GK1 in .22 or .25?

    Yes and no. You’ll get more shots at a given velocity and less at a given power. So if you want to tune it to 800 fps then you’ll get more shots at that velocity with a smaller caliber. If you want to tune it to 30 fpe then you’ll probably get more shots with a larger caliber. Larger...

    Huben GK1 in .22 or .25?

    The way I have mine tuned in .25 I get 3 mags of 17 rounds, but velocity is starting to drop off near the end of the third mag. I don't remember the exact velocity or kinetic energy I have it tuned at, but I believe it's at around 25 fpe. I lost my shooting data when I had to replace my...

    Here's a link to your channel. https://www.youtube.com/@mikeyfingers-ns I wouldn't worry too much about production quality at this point. Just try and make a good informative review. Shooting groups is good as people like to see what kind of accuracy you're getting. Just don't spend 5...

    Watch out for hidden tariffs! (Huma-Air)

    Under normal circumstances you would be right, but in the past few months there have been several instances of tariffs being imposed, raised or reduced without warning and literally millions of shipments of products have had this done while they were in transit. That's why the current...

    Watch out for hidden tariffs! (Huma-Air)

    If the product has already been delivered and Huma and UPS have both been paid in full, then I would expect any tax bill to come from the government. Businesses generally collect any taxes due at the time of sale or at the time of delivery. If the bill is coming from some non-governmental...

    Crosman No more 2240?

    I've thought they were very long in the tooth for ages now. 25 years ago, they were the bees knees. They were modular and the only product that was really competing with them were the QB rifles which were themselves a Crosman knockoff. Crosman never really stepped up it's game though...
