Good that you give a shout-out to a supplier that has helped you, it's only fair that support them in return. It's always great to hear about Sellers that take a real interest in helping customers find the right product for there needs. Especially the ones that provide extra customer support...

Great to read this thread and see that I'm in good company 😁 At 73, I'm a member of the "old guys club" and like others, age is wearing on me. My health is reasonable but everything is less that what it was, at least what I remember it to have been. 😉 I've always been an off hand plinker...

I'm frequently asked to recommend a product (gun, fishing gear, tools etc) because I have a reputation for doing a lot of research and making informed purchases. The first thing I do is find out what the person wants the product for, the level of intrest/buy-in/budget and future...

Did you see the recent hoopla about the Italian and French super expensive designer stuff that's actually made in China? The $34,000 designer bags were made in China for $1,200. China can and does make top quality stuff. They will also make cheap crap if that is what they are contracted to...

The Beeman P17 mentioned above is a nice little pistol that shoots a light .177 pellet at about 400 fps. It's consistent and quite accurate. The trigger and sights are pretty good considering it's price point. There are a couple of easy improvements that can be done to the pistol. The high...

I've been using a .22 Maximus as my "truck gun"... wheelbarrow gun actually, for when I'm working around the property. Light weight, synthetic "no worries" stock, accurate enough for my purpose (grackles at 30 to 40 yards), plenty of power at 30ish fpe. It's only a single shot though. I...

Thank you!!! Marked for future use! Cheers!

I like to describe my backing boards as "well perforated" 😁

I prefer .22 caliber, 30ish fpe PCPs and picked up a .22 Wolverine R (non HP) late last year to compare the Daystate to the others in the gun cabinet. Generally speaking all my 30 fpe PCPs (S510, Crown, DRS, HW100 and Wolverine) are similar in performance, ergonomics and personal preference...

Yup, can relate 😁 Produce box cardboard is recycled as target backing - small for the indoor 10 meter range and large for the outdoor 55 and 128 yard range. The box of Corrugated cardboard is cut to exact size on the table saw for backing boards in the indoor rubber mulch trap. Cheers!

As a teenager we used to go to the dumps to shoot rats, there were thousandsof them! Wasn't unusual for each of us to burn through a brick or two of .22 rimfires in a morning. Then it suddenly dried up. Don't know where the rats went. Cheers!

Some real nice airguns shown here, and lots of seller's remorse as well. 😳 Understand if life forces someone to sell assets to meet financial commitments but it seems that a lot of people are selling known to be great airguns and regretting it (repeatedly?) afterwards. 🤔 I have a decent...

Nice group! Can you do that 5 times in a row? (I couldn't 😁 ) Raining like hell here this morning so I'm shooting some of my 10 meter stuff (P8x and 603) indoors and having fun! Feinwerkbau sure makes some nice .177 competition airguns. What a pleasure to shoot them. I use my scoped 300S for...

Been lucky with leakers until now. There's a dozen PCPs in the cabinet with no issues and just noticed that my 10 yo HW100 is sloooowly loosing pressure over a week. Not surprising as my main pesting gun, that rifle has seen a heck of a lot of use. The leak is not enough to be a problem...

My .22 caliber Avenge-X was factory set to shoot 25 grain pellets very accurately, anything lighter was scattered into a loose pattern. The problem was that the regulator was set to minimum at 150 bar and (mechanically) could not be reduced to shoot lighter pellets. Crosman 14.4 grain...

I'll second that! A 10 meter rifle is designed specifically to be a precision off hand piece. Its ergonomics, mass, sighting system and trigger are ideal for deliberate aiming and shooting paper. That doesn't stop me from plinking and even pesting with my FWB 300S and FWB 603 though. At the...

I have had a .22/700mm Impact MK2 for years now (bought it new when they were first available). No problems, very pleased with the platform and it's performance. Like you, I use mine for hunting, plinking and occasionally some pesting. I shoot mine in factory stock configuration, you just...

I'm primarily an off hand plinker and pester that does a bit of squirrel hunting. Plinking is great because you can use any hand held projectile weapon at any distance at any (safe) target. Except for safety, there's no "rules". I plink with airguns, bows, slingshots, rimfires and...

Excellent reference! Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, calibrating the shooter is an important step. That's the first thing I suspect when groups are poor. LOL! Maybe have someone else try the rifle? Figured that you had the rest problem covered, but mentioned it just in case. That makes (springer) sense 🙂 Having one pellet that shot well...
