    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    I was browsing the classifieds today and found a few good deals. All of the guns below will fit the requirements on your list very nicely. You just have to choose PCP (better: generally easier to shoot and more accurate, but generally more expensive and you need a way to fill it to 3000psi), or...

    NICE Steve! Its been crazy busy around here and I've been away from the forum for too long. Sorry I missed your post for a while there. I'm glad you got yourself such a nice looking 300! Love the tiger stripes! -And I'm glad you're happy with it. Thanks for posting the pics. I'm waiting to come...

    Anybody have a chance to test those 140 Amax blems from Midway?

    ...I'm asking about those .264 140g A-max blems Midway was selling for $20/100. The price was right, but do they shoot OK? It would be great if they shot just like the rest of the Amax's... Is there any hope for same performance and POI as the full price 140 Amax's? Anybody load some up and...

    Rifle Scopes POI shift when I change magnification???

    Thanks for the help. Sounds like my next step is to try and see if I can eliminate the problem with parallax adjustment.

    Rifle Scopes POI shift when I change magnification???

    I've been wondering if it might have something to do with parallax, or possibly how I've got my rear ocular adjusted? I've noticed with some scopes that your eye relief will change when you shift magnification. I haven't played with the parallax setting after turning the magnification down, but...

    Rifle Scopes POI shift when I change magnification???

    I'm curious if any of you guys have seen this before and may be able to explain what's happening. I've got a SWFA 5-20x. Its been a great scope so far -I'm very happy with the glass, and the tracking has been great. I usually shoot up at 20x. I recently noticed that when I turn it down to 10x...

    Rifle Scopes Swfa ss 12x42

    I think the swfa fixed models definitely fall into the "best bang for your buck" category. Well built, good glass, great price, reliable tracking. I own a bunch of them now. So far, I've not had a single problem with them. For target shooting at longer ranges, I like the 12x over the 10x -the...

    Rifle Scopes Have $2.1k for glass. Down to two choices. Need advice.

    With that kind of cash in hand, you could drive down to I-25 and hit Mile High (S&B and Nightforce on the shelf) and hit Trigger Time (Premier and Steiner on the shelf) and come home with something asap... If its gotta be right now, that's what I'd do... especially if you've never handled any of...

    Rifle Scopes Mini review SS 5x20x50 vs Bushnell 3.5x21x50mm

    Thanks for the review. Lots of good info there. I have the 5-20 SS and a 30mm tube FFP 6-24x bushy with the G2 reticle. I like the G2 reticle, but have yet to really need it since I'm always dialing for elevation...so far. No complaints from me on the SS mil-quad reticle. Everybody seems to be...

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    Hi Tornado, If you don't mind me asking, how much room do you have in your backyard (how many yards? -that could affect your caliber choice: .177 may be a better choice for some backyards...). The HW100 is very well made -those guns have a reputation for outstanding build quality and...

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    Hi Tornado, No problem! A few of the top brands I recommend: Air Arms, FX, Daystate, and Theoben -with all of these you can expect a well built, reliable gun, with out-standing accuracy. Of those mentioned, the best deals to come up on used guns are usually the Air Arms and FX. Keep an...

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    Hey Steve! Sounds like you had a great time out at LD's -I'm jealous! Congrats on scoring the FWB300! Those rifles are really well build and a ton of fun to shoot. Give us some pics (tiger stripe walnut! -nice!) and a report when you get it! Also glad to hear you've got the 18.1's shooting well...

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    Howdy Steve. I'm shooting the 24.5g JSB's Kings @ 860-875fps. They seem to have about the same drop and wind drift as my 30fpe .22's (with 18g jsb's) -but the .25's just have a little more smack on target. Its nice to hear that steel RING! haha... For a power bump on your Royale, you could try...

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    Hey Steve! I've had 4 different barrels on my rapid so far. One thing I like about the rapids is how easy it is to change calibers. That pic was a 16" .22 barrel. I've currently got a 21" .20 cal barrel on there and its just silly accurate so that's the one I'm sticking with. I've had great luck...

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    Cool. I've only looked through the 10x and 12x versions so far. I thought you might go for the 20x and I wasn't ready to vouch for the glass on the 20x model. I'm going order a 16x for my airwolf this week. Glad to hear the 16x is looking good to you. I hear some guys say they don't like the eye...

    csdilligaf! How's it going? Sweeeeeet pic! --->The MIGHTY SUMO! (You guys: he built that bad-boy in the pic ground up! -Awesome piece of work!) I wanted to ask if you did pick up a SWFA scope for your AG and did it work out OK for you? ("Scott in CO" here from the yellow). -ScottyD

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    Hey Top Predator! Its been fun to read along with your progress. This post had me smiling in particular. I think I recall somebody on page 1 of this thread telling you: "spring guns have some crazy harmonic issues and generally don't shoot well from a bi-pod or any solid rest"... -Just giving...

    Thanks for the video. How would you say the weaver glass quality compares to the swfa glass? Looks like you own a weaver as well, right?

    Rifle Scopes How do YOU level your optic?

    This "vertical reticle instrument" is one of the best purchases I've ever made: Details and how to use it: Vertical Retical Instrument It eliminates all guesswork. Worth its weight in gold in my opinion. Use this with a "plumb-bob" or anything you know is dead nuts vertical. It...
