    Rifle Scopes I Can't Zero My Scope On My Air Rifle

    I just bought new Air Arms TX200. I mounted a Hawke Sidewinder 4.5-14x42 scope in Beeman high rings and tried to zero at 25 yards. I topped out my elevation and I am still about 2 inches low at 25 yards. What can I do to fix my problem?

    Quality Spring Air Rifle in .22 Caliber

    How does the RWS 54 stand against the TX200 on accuracy? Some have said the 54 was the way to go because of its no recoil design. It doesn't look as nice though and it is more expensive than the TX200 in beech.

    Quality Spring Air Rifle in .22 Caliber

    My friend let me borrow his new RWS 34. I have shot it a lot the last couple of days. I average about an inch at 25 yards. This rifle is probably the most hold sensitive rifle I have ever shot. I shot two groups in probably 4 hours that were what I would call acceptable. I hope that a more...

    Quality Spring Air Rifle in .22 Caliber

    Thanks for the replies. A friend is going to let me borrow his RWS 34. I know it is nothing like the Air arms but hopefully it will get me an understanding of springer rifle recoil. If I don't like it I will not be paying 700.00 for a more expensive model. Why will the tx200 not be good in...

    Quality Spring Air Rifle in .22 Caliber

    I have been thinking about getting an air rifle for some time now. The rifle will be used for target shooting and some hunting out to 50 yards. I am leaning towards the springer instead of the pcp because of the problems of refilling the tank. There is no shop within an hour driving to get a...

    Lightweight Hunting Rifle Under 800.00

    Thanks for the replies. What about the Savage 111 lightweight hunter? It only weighs 5.5 pounds and I know it will be accurate. For some reason my dad doesn't like the Tikka. I have a T3 hunter in 25-06 that I love but I can't seem to get him to like it. He says it bothers him when the...

    Lightweight Hunting Rifle Under 800.00

    I am trying to find a lightweight deer rifle for my dad that is chambered in 243. My dad doesn't have a rifle he can carry around without wearing him out. The shots he will be taking will be within 100 yards 99 percent of the time with a few as as far as 200 yards. What would be a good choice?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 10-8 .125 Rear Notch On Glock 19

    Bravo Company has .125 rear 10-8 sights for the Glock. I ordered one but I don't know if if am going to put in on right now. I have started to like the wider notch. It is much faster than the more narrow one. I have also noticed I can see the sights better at night.

    A friend bought a fixed 4x scope for an air rifle. It does not have a adjustable focus. He wanted to know if this will cause him any problems inside of 50 yards?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 10-8 .125 Rear Notch On Glock 19

    I put a .140 10-8 on my Glock 19 yesterday and it is a little to wide. I feel like I am giving up some of my accuracy. Does anyone have a .125 notch on a Glock 19 or any Glock? Is it too narrow? I noticed that 10-8 doesn't have them on their website anymore. Have they discontinued the .125...

    Light Recoil Bolt Rifle for the Wife

    I have hunted with the 30-06, 25-06, 308, 243, and 223. Out of all of those the 243 is still my favorite. I don't understand it but that caliber works better than ones much larger. With the 95gr Nosler ballistic tip you will have no problem killing any deer. Also, with bullets from 55grs to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 19 Gen 3 Mag Release Issue

    I picked up a new gen 3 on Friday. It is the first Glock I have bought in a while that I like. I noticed that the mag does not drop freely when the pistol is tilted to one side. The mag will drop when the mag is going strait down but will often not if I try to sling it to the side like I do...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Humbled

    A friend was over a couple of days ago and wanted to shoot my 1911. He had shot competitively in the Army with a 1911 and with a revolver as a civilian. He had never shot my gun before. The target was probably about 15 yards away. He was shaking badly due to a shoulder surgery a few years...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Les Baer Failure to Return To Battery

    Thanks for the replies. I have a 16 pound recoil spring on the way. I also ordered a new firing pin spring and a chamber brush. If this doesn't fix the problem I may contact Les Baer. They may charge me for the work though because I have already sent it to another gunsmith. Hopefully the...
