    Best Survival Air gun for preperssss?

    Sorry, but I find the entire premise of this thread a bit silly. Like asking which bicycle to use if you really, really had to get somewhere in a hurry. Remember that the very word “Survival” implies a life or death situation. While airguns make for a great hobby and can be used to kill things...

    Stumbling upon Ted’s pigeon shooting vids got be into this hobby. Confident, informative, and humble. An unequalled ambassador, IMO.

    Does your airgun have a name?

    I usually call my air rifle.... "air rifle".

    Wildcat Hard Case Options?

    I have the Wildcat as well, and unless you just must have the smallest case that will work, I'd suggest going up a size. Personally, I prefer more than just a bare minimum of padding on either end, top, and bottom. Also, don't forget to measure for height after you've mounted your scope...

    FX Wildcat .25 - Magical FPS with 25gr JSB/AA Pellet

    
Respectfully, and as per your edit: Yes, your non-FX barrel is an invalid apples to oranges comparison.

    If Everyone Were Like Tominco...

    Not my first rodeo. I have his phone number, and we texted back and forth quite a bit. His tone and line of BS was insulting enough that no phone call was going to fix anything. My time is valuable enough that, as I said, repairing the unit was less hassle than having the fight and then...

    Feedback Don't buy from Dan C.

    I was originally not going to post this feedback, but decided that I should share my experience in the hopes that someone else could avoid an unnecessary headache. See the story here: http://www.airgunnation.com/topic/if-everyone-were-tominco/

    Long Ranger shooting-BS or not?

    I think you're misinterpreting what ChairGun is telling you. Yes, if fired on a level plane or while aiming at a closer target the pellet begins to drop almost immediately, winding up 'x' inches low at 'y' yards and will be falling quite steeply when it gets there. However, when shooting at a...

    If Everyone Were Like Tominco...

    
Lol. Yeah, sorry for any confusion there! I asked you a while back about the expected groups of a gun you were selling, and you said straight up that they were "not great". That frankness and honesty made a strong and positive impression. Well done sir.

    If Everyone Were Like Tominco...

    
I did pay with PP, and refused seller's request to go the "friends" route. However, the personal cost and hassle of that fight outweighed the cost of repairing the unit.

    If Everyone Were Like Tominco...

    ...then we could trust the ads we see in the classifieds and used items would command higher prices prices Why? Because he's honest about the items he sells, and if everyone were like him we'd be able to buy other's goods with confidence rather than trepidation. Trust commands higher prices...

    Airgun Depot's Long Rangers

    Wound up with unexpected time off so I called AD two days ago during business hours to place an order for some golf balls, no answer. Left a message. It's been two days, no return call. Not impressed. Happy for for everyone else who's having a good time tho!

    Neat Target Idea!

    Found this in random webb surfing. Maybe not for close range, but at longer ranges this could be a lot of fun!

    Safety of new air compressors and tanks?

    An excellent topic, so my thanks to the OP for opening the discussion. An improperly repaired valve on a paintball bottle very nearly -and quite literally- killed me one night, and that's less pressure than we deal with in PCPs. I was fortunate to only lose two months off of work and not my...

    FX Streamline .25 King Heavy 33.3gr and General Questions

    
You won't need to, imo. The difference between stock and 850 won't make a difference for birds. Plenty of power to do what you want.

    Pellets running low

    
So, the point is...what? That competitors shouldn't load up when they fine a pellet they like? Or maybe they shouldn't share their research data, telling everyone what pellet the hot new gun likes to shoot? Or maybe others who see said research data shouldn't act on it, causing a run on the...

    Trajectory

    Interesting. I calculated under 425 yds for an 18g. What BC and drag law did you use, if you don't mind my asking?
