The Addiction…

Jump to latest Follow Reply
@2L8 I think I’m over it. 7 mins to go. Truth be told I have most of what I need and want. Got my bases covered on guns enough to take any animal allowed to be hunted with airguns in this state. I could use the some rangefinder binos, but the ones I found are the wrong magnification. A few reviews elucidated some cons that made it easier to walk away. Chiefly the glass quality is mediocre and they’re best suited for more open areas at 10x magnification. I’d read about a pair of Sig Kilo 3000 binos that I may save up for. Someone did a righteous review of them on AGN. Your support is appreciated.

The problem(if it even is one), it’s not just the gun purchase. It’s the scope, the mounts, the moderator, sling, and if this is a new caliber to you, pellets/slugs.

Heaven help you if you purchase a gun that’s aftermarket supported heavily, like the impact, the marauder, etc.

I remember a couple of years ago I introduced a very good friend to this hobby, and after he shot my MK2 Wildcat he told me to find him one. Just so happened I knew a guy selling his near new wildcat MK2 700 with laminate grey stock. Beautiful gun and the purchase price was right around $1600. I watched my friend Venmo the guy payment, then after the transaction was done he asked if it came with a scope. I said nope, that’s gun only. He hands me $1600 cash out of his pocket and told me to make it like mine. Well, he was starting completely from zero so with a good stock of Ammo and a JSAR scope rail that held the mags I used every bit of that, so $3200 spent right then and there.

Mostly 308 .. I'm debating myself between 1 or both ..🤣 I was hoping that the ones that are being made come out .. with the 500cc tube.. that at least should give you one complete mags at HP..and for me it looks way better...i assume this is one of his EBR guns .in 308 500cc tube.

@mercado The specs state that the .308 has a 7-round mag and a 400cc tube. Then goes on to say that one can get 7 shots (at 950 fps, 220 fpe) from a fill.

If you know you want a longer reservoir, have you reached out to @slayer or used a contact form on the AAA site to request building one with a 500cc tube for you?

Answer at the time I reached to them was..NO.. the the guns come out in that way..n that's it ..🙃 that was a few months ago.. that is why I hope since almost every manufacturer has move to put more air in their line ,is only logic the they make the changes since they already have them in their lineup.. 500cc is more than enough for the look of the design.. I imagine a bottle would change the armonics characteristics of the gun ..the look awesome with the longer tube.

Dave, a little "retail therapy" can help your sick frame of mind :p. I am a really lucky guy in that I'm WAAAY enthralled with the guns I own AND that I'm acutely aware of my financial situation, which SUCKS. I only get "window shopping therapy".

Gerry, My therapy comes when I get a rig shooting the way I want and outfitted to my liking for my hunt(s). The problem is I become intrigued with other guns because of reading and watching some of you guys enjoy your setups. I guess it’s the affinity that many of us still hold for airguns after so many years. It’s still something that can elicit excitement. Speaking of which my Veyron with IR just arrived.

Ezana=you are an enabler,you come up with a lot of great deals!
The addiction needs to be tamed, someday, but not today,nor tomorrow or any day soon;as I still have some small spaces for storage.
I did good so far,a killer scope deal,put in the "cart" twice before coming to my senses,heck I need a one-piece pistol stock for my Prod ; that would be a better way to spend money that I shouldn't...
OK, I will not spend too much today,just enough that I can "justify"...
