    "No airguns allowed here"

    Not passing judgement over whether the “no airgun” policies are wrong or right for any given range, but my local suffers from people with zero understanding of ballistics and trajectory. The smaller the caliber, the more flippant and dangerous the behavior. Our 600yd has a minimum target...

    Adding to the slight sidetrack, have you received your order yet? If so, any comments on the quality of the stock finish?

    Bushnell Match Pro 6-24x50mm FFP ➠ $300 at ScopeList.com

    Scopelist and EuroOptic are the same company and completely legit. I would prefer to do business with “either” over Amazon, seven days a week.

    LPVO for a PCP - good focus under 30yds? 10yds?

    Delta Stryker and March 1-10 models exist with side parallax adjustment down to 10m, though neither would be considered very wallet friendly. Although it might be a bit annoying to lack a perfectly crisp image, at the low end (1-4x) most lpvos should be serviceable, even up close. This will be...

    Zeiss scope....maybe?

    Some things to keep in mind about perceptions of popularity: Zeiss has a stronger European presence and following; they have a much longer pedigree of producing high quality hunting scopes under the Zeiss brand; in regard to FFP, competition type scopes, the S5 has only been available since late...

    No target shooting anymore?

    A variation of some I’ve seen mentioned, tie balloons blown up to different diameters on different length strings at 100yd/m and try to shoot them offhand while the wind plays havoc with them. Sounds like you enjoy fitness, so add in some version of exercises- 100m run/jog or a set of push-ups...

    Beeman Beeman Kodiak .25

    What a steal! Do you plan on keeping it open sights? One of my favorites. Never quite understood the complaints about them, and in my experience they are more than capable of scope-worthy accuracy.

    Best 25-100 Benchrest Scope for PCP

    I second the suggestion to try and get behind as many scopes as you can. I’d really like to get time with the Athlon 15-60, but it hasn’t happened yet. The Delta Stryker 5-50 would be my recommendation as the best value scope. Comparing it to my Sightron SVSS, I would guess they use the same...

    Why does it sit unused...

    I have a Winchester 600x and 1000x that were a few of my earliest ventures into airguns. Both became project guns, were polished and tuned by me, and stocks stripped and refinished. There is sentimental value, but little financial incentive to sell. But they just are not fun to shoot. In spite...

    Budget tier FFP LPVO?

    Have you seen the Atibal XP6 Mirage 1-6x24 in FFP? Another one slightly over suggested budget, but brought much closer with a coupon code. Smart reticle design provides quick aiming at high and low mag. Field of view is good, tube does not obscure much of the sight picture for both eyes open...

    Can someone explain why the POI change?

    To OP, are all of your scopes the same model or at least the same manufacturer? Parallax error was my first guess as well. Did your shooting position change? Higher or lower position maybe? Gain or lose some weight in your face that could affect your head position behind the scope? I’ve even...

    Primary Arms SLx 5X MicroPrism?

    I sold a 3x prism to a friend and replaced with a 5x, thinking I would appreciate the extra zoom. Unfortunately the 3x was wayyyy faster. The 5x is more like a scope in terms of eye relief and positional forgiveness.

    high end scope

    I cannot find the make, but it looks like a phone adapter to me as well.

    Shooting Funk!

    It absolutely happens that we as shooters get caught in the void. The disciplines we find easy become too easy, while we hit a wall with the difficult ventures and they seem like unattainable goals. As others have mentioned, add, change, or randomize your kit, routine, etc. Buying a whole new...

    How can I find the best price for a Sightron SVIII FFP 5-40X56 ED IR ZERO STOP

    Can’t answer that without more info. Shooters Corner is a distributor, and I have gotten better pricing from them than anything else I’ve seen advertised; I meant shocked in a good way. (y)

    How can I find the best price for a Sightron SVIII FFP 5-40X56 ED IR ZERO STOP

    Try Shooters Corner Inc in New Jersey. I was shocked by their pricing on the last Sightron I purchased, but you will have to call to get pricing.

    Nightforce ATACR vs. the NX8: How big is the difference?

    It would have been more helpful for me to clarify that my observations were strung out over years, not consecutive purchases, exchanges, what have you. I expect the 5-25 is probably their most popular model in the lineup, so improvements and sample variation over time could account for some of...

    Nightforce ATACR vs. the NX8: How big is the difference?

    Nightforce is a name that will elicit a lot of positive responses- some absolutely fanatical in fact- but confirmation bias is a heck of a drug. I currently do own an ATACR in 7-35x56 MOAR-T SFP and an NX8 4-32 MOAR FFP and like them each in their respective roles. That said, I've eliminated...
