Since there is a thread just for showing off airguns I'll jump in
The new Epic Two in .22 with a 550mm long barrel (still discovering what it can do):
My FX Impact with 700mm barrel in .22, set up for shooting 34gr slugs. Brought this one to RMAC as well this year for the precision marksman challenge, needed some more practice is what I noticed.....
And a FX Impact .30 set up for benchrest shooting and it can be used for some PRS style shooting. We're stuck to mostly indoor ranges here in the Netherlands so the low speeds of the .30 don't really matter then.

Nice to see an Epic Two out in the wild. Was really interested in it early in the year when I first saw them but kinda forgot about them. Be interesting to see how you like it.Since there is a thread just for showing off airguns I'll jump in

I don't know why I have never done a side by side with a "real" carbine. I should do that.
One is a Marlin 38/357 the other is a Walther CO2 lever gun. The large plastic buttstock on the air gun is a giveaway. It is that way so it can use the 88g cartridges.
Both are wood and steel, and it is crazy just how close they are to each other. The Marlin is an 80's vintage and got carried A LOT.
On a side note if you want a non stop giggle fest get yourself a 38/357 lever rifle, they are just so much fun. 38's it is like shooting a big 22 that will move the plates. The Marlin will take some pretty darn warm 357, and really that is good for about any deer sized game in the US. Fairly light and handy, easy to carry. It is very close to perfect.
The best way to spend Christmas morning; shooting in your pajamas. Bonus points to anyone who can tell me what make and model air pistol he is shooting because I don't know.
@Longshot231 Yesterday I shot this spike out of the doorway in my PJs.

That is the thing that shocks some people, the sound of some of them. I kid you not I have 22lr with long barrels that are more quiet. And if you move into the weeds with something like a 22 long, no question, the "firearm" is much more quiet.
I have a couple of old single shot 22 rifles that do both long and long rifle. They LOVE 22 longs, will fling a "normal" LR all over the place, and shoot a sub sonic 22lr, pretty well, but not even close to the longs.
Shooting them at any distance is fun. pop.............ding.
Even the biggest safety nut would agree, you don't need ears, opening the garage door makes more noise.
Steyrs need a little love to become quiet, it's internals resonate after a shot so the hammer and valve keep bouncing and release bits of air every bounce. That happens while the pellet leaves/left the muzzle so you get an open channel where burst of air come out and that means noise. By changing one spring the whole Steyr becomes a different airgun, here's mine and look at the size of the moderator on there that was needed to make it quiet:
This thing became very sound friendly and the amount of shots per fill went up by a lot, hammer was pretty much free-floating and the cocking effort was practically nothing. That was a fun project to work on
My Dawson Rapid in 25 after smacking a rabbit from 20 yards. Nothing extremely far as he was stupid enough to stay to long in the yard.
That's somewhat of a common reaction. I don't know if many people are buying them because of how they look. However, I love how they perform and how they handle. I have the earlier iteration of this rifle as well.That rifle looks like something a Star Wars Storm Trooper would carry
If you can get ahold of Brian down at veridium air he soups the bulldog up and makes them beastly
Usually I don't put down people but I had a pretty poor experience with him but it was about another product. I also read on AGN of others not so happy with theirs.
I've had very few poor experiences in the industry but this one stood out way above the rest to the point of no 2nd chances for me and I'm a pretty tolerant sort.
Agreed. There is a local guy I shoot with that calls and talks to him regularly. Even he has made comments about him replying to phone call or text messages rather sparce. He is a one man show doing everything himself
Not that that is an excuse, but can explain some of the headaches...much the same as trying to get ahold of Allen Z.

I saw you first
Uragan .25

What pellets and velocities?
Couple of BSA's .22 and .177

My Hm1000x just showed up today. Martin built this one for me so I could shoot NRL22 matches with it.
Weihrauch HW97K in .22
1.3in group minus the single windage correction on the right, at 52yds. first shots with it after zeroing.

Boring day with my FX on a -30C day in Finland 
Just picked up a leshiy classic.
Have added a few other bits, but she shoot great and is an awesome back pack gun. Have more barrels coming and will be smacking more critters this summer.
BRK Ghost HP in .22 Been slowly 3d printing parts for it, and slaying ground squirrels by the dozens.

Dawson Rapid in 25 wearing my new Arken Zulus digital scope. So far it is fun looking through and running a little bit. Need to zero and set everything up with the ballistics app.
Should be a fun night optic
My son and all his friends showed up at the house with each having a BB gun.
They went to Walmart and bought them.
My son bought a Crossman 760 which in my youth was a pretty well made BB gun - actual metal of some type (zinc cast) and heavy solid plastic. The new ones are made of shitastic.
I told him it was up to him to screw up having a BB gun. I’d let him keep it but would be taking it if he screws up.
He has been shooting with me and knows safety but apparently can’t follow same around his friends.
When I heard that they were shooting at each other my safe devoured another BB gun.
Even a shitastic Crossman 760 will take an eye or possibly kill it still seems to have the same air pressure.

Leshiy Classic 350 is a killer hunting machine! Easy to throw in the pack for even those thin air mountain hunts. Ground squirrels and marmots beware!
