    pump vs scuba tank

    I just purchased my first scuba tank yesterday. I am pretty excited about it. But to tell the truth, now that I have it, I will probably still use my hand pump for topping off in my erratic pest control scenarios. As far as accuracy goes, it is not in my clearance level to discuss, since I...

    Should I purchased this Gun?

    Sounds like you have a decent relationship with the owner. You brought up the most important factor in your response, and that is the boss. One large dump of money is overwhelming sometimes. If you purchase the gun with cash and later a scope shows up and a pump you are flying under radar...

    Should I purchased this Gun?

    When buying used, you are giving up a lot. You have no warranty or customer service. But you also have a rifle that has been tested. Does this gun come scoped? Because I would say if you are getting this outfit ready to shoot and the seller is honest with you then 400 is a fair price. If...

    Crosman . Your quality control and warantee center is Horrible.

    Sounds like a bad experience. But I wouldn't give up. Sounds like it might have a bad seal someplace. I would probably try to talk to someone's boss on the phone and calmly try to get a refund and tell them you are going to a different company. That is really too bad. From all of the...

    Squirrel population density

    I have thought about this a lot. One season I was trying out recipes and started taking squirrels off of my bird feeders in town. After about four or five I thought I better slow down. Squirrels can live a very long time so when you see so many sometimes you wonder how many there really are...

    Somebody Help give me advice on how to find places to hunt!!

    One big question is, Where is it that you live?? You say that you are in suburb and have no country around you. In Wisconsin, Most DNR owned land is huntable. There is a lot of it, and they have a web site program that finds it for you. Depending upon what state or country you live in the...

    New PCP for Hunting small game up to Raccoon sized game would love your input!

    I have one of the original marauders in .25. I got it from Pyramid Air with scope, pump, rings, 4 tins of pellets, and an extra magazine for $748.54 US back in 2013. I use mine for pest control and squirrel hunting. I have never really had a problem keeping it aired up. Even when I do a day...

    Complete newbie looking to get setup to shoot some squirrels

    thekevin, The crack is from the speed. Breaking the sound barrier and you will get a little crack. I had a superstreak that pushed pellets and had that crack. Pretty wicked but also, on an 8 grain pellet totally screwed accuracy because when the pellet comes back to subsonic it destabilized...

    Complete newbie looking to get setup to shoot some squirrels

    I looked at the stats for that rifle. Looks like it has plenty of punch. But those 1000 fps springers seem to me to loose accuracy with such fast pellets. No matter how much power you have behind it, a 177 needs to be precise for a clean kill. Something fun to do for me was going someplace...

    Best sub $300 springer for accuracy

    I know you are thinking springer, and there are some good ones out there. But I have really been enjoying my Benjamin 392. A multipump pneumatic is not ideal for plinking because of the massive amount of pumping, but it will give you good energy and decent accuracy, just not fast shooting or a...

    Explain Airsoft guns to me

    Just putting up another aspect of 'air rifle' versus 'rifle.' Sometimes it might be beneficial to be under respected in the capacity of, say, a 50 ft/lb .25 cal rifle if the average uninformed citizen equates your doings with the Red Riders of yesterday. Example, I am walking around a suburban...

    Why's everything gotta be tactical?

    To be honest, I use my air rifle most often in situations specific to that tool. What I mean is that I resort to air rifles when a traditional firearm is not allowed, or undesirable. If it was up to me, I would get an air rifle that looks nothing like a firearm. I would prefer it to look more...

    New .22 Benjamin Titan Accuracy Problems

    I have a Benjamin 1500 superstreak. I think they are similar. Mine is Dead on. I mean clover leave at 35 yards. Then you hold it tighter or an inch further down the stock and the point of impact moves inches on the same shot. These springers are shooting violent recoil and vibration. Hold...

    What's you're scope Zero'ed at and why?

    I might just be lucky but I've kept it pretty simple. I don't have any dots on my scope. It is a simple reticle. I don't do a lot of hunting outside of my back yard pests and that ranges from 5 yards to 28 yards, my back fence. I think I am zeroed at 25. A 25 cal is forgiving. If I am...

    Wouldn't you know it. Update

    We had a similar experience one year in northern Wisconsin. My dad owns a dairy farm that has been in the family for over a 100 years. Our family has always hunted there. The farm is only a few miles out of town and the way urban sprawl has happened we have many houses crowding in to the...

    Crosman 1377 drops the bird feeder thief

    I have the 1322. Best thing I ever did was to get the upgraded metal receiver and a scope mounted on it. Very handy for bird feeder patrol and because it is small it stays on top of my refrigerator next to my kitchen window at all times.

    Squirrel?

    Here in Wisconsin we have grey, fox, and red. I hunt whatever there is to hunt. I like bagging big fox squirrels because one squirrel per person can usually make a good meal. Grey squirrels are more fun to hunt. Red squirrels aren't really much and I have only made meals out of them when...

    Recycled lead?

    After I sift out all the polymer tips and junk I have been storing it away. I shoot round balls out of my muzzle loader and have the mold for it. Just haven't worked my way through my supply of purchased round balls yet and don't get a lot of opportunities to cook down lead. But I've got it...

    Wobbling while shooting with pistol

    I have the 1322. I got mine for a quick sparrow dispatcher from kitchen (little awkward to run through the house with a rifle so I keep it on top of my frig). The factory sight is horrible. The trigger is horrible. The gun is dead nuts accurate if you can just hold the thing still on target...

    Can someone explain this?

    Is this a brand new gun? Maybe the barrel needs a break in? If the barrel is tight and still getting pores of the rifling filled maybe the rounds are gripping tighter and tighter. I don't know if this is the case but after you double check all your screws and shoot a few tins of pellets...
