One of those threads linked is about me and my Yanmar 235C purchase. I got the cab version with a heater and a AC which is a decision I couldn't be happier about. Baking in the sun, freezing my ass off, or getting stuff blown in nearly every orifice is not an issue I need be concerned about...

Because I haven't looked through the Heras all I've got to share in the comparison between the two is what two friends told me. They couldn't tell hardly any difference in image quality, one swears his Ares gets the nod, the other struggles to make out a difference. Both these shooters are...

Thanks jbell. It's hard to believe I already have over 100 miles on my Wild and also I'm getting in much better shape than I was a month ago. Seems the aftermarket EXT Fork and shock were worth every penny because this bike is nutz how well it handles, climbs, descends, you name it. No...

A fun story; My friends and I from high school, most of us graduating in 78 or 79, all moved to Phoenix and rented a apartment together. We were getting way out of hand in our partying and thus into legal trouble because of it, so I left for home because I foresaw bad times ahead, LOL! At the...

That would help wouldn't it but optical compromise in 'the standard' very short scopes with high magnification ratios can hinder the visual experience. I'm not unfamiliar with this having had or having, 1-10's, 3-24, 5-42. I sold the two latter scopes because of this. I'm guessing that the ZCO...

There isn't a SFP benchrest scope on the entire market better than the Athlon ETR or Heras 15-60x56 as far as bang for the buck in this genre of target scope . These are true jewels to look through and I'm not exaggerating.

My guess is if both were 2.5-15 and not quite so compact the visual experience would be improved. I was just thinking a minute ago about my March Genesis 4-40 that even though it has a high magnification ratio and is somewhat compact it has quite a bit of optical prowess which is superior to...

You can add the AGT Vulcan 3 to your list. Mine was tuned by Derrick at Tenacious Airguns, is 25 cal, holds zero well, and sends 60gr Altaros slugs at 862 fps which is 99 fpe. The G1 BC of this slug is .245 so they don't blow in the wind much compared to most other slugs. This combo in my gun is...

One would think Leupold would have someone higher up that watched threads like this. Heck I could be mostly happy with a higher quality simple lightweight scope of 2.2-13.2x38 with capped windage, low profile locking elevation turret, a decent holdover reticle with .7mil line thickness and a .2...

A friend has one but it's not a ring, just a cannon that size. It was hilarious because the barrel is so short it doesn't generate enough energy with black powder and a BB to penetrate a aluminum can.

The Athlon Heras 4-20 is $339 at Cameraland. Call Doug, maybe he can sharpen the pencil a bit. I have one of these and also the Heras 2-12. Pretty cool SFP scopes with .2 milhash reticles. The reticles are on the thin side so good for what the OP has in mind.

Honestly I've had no complaints with two Helos G2's, super good scope for the cost, but yes I'd like even higher quality as we all would. I sold one last month to friend and regretted it when I ran across a need for it last week. All I had was a old Nikon 3-9 to mount. Quite backwards from what...

I had a Redwolf for a while. Mine wasn't a very precise rifle so I didn't shoot it much and sold it a year later. I have a lot of friends that use Redwolf's with good success though. AOA is in the Phoenix area so it seems half our airgun club uses them. I liked the effortless cocking effort...

Doc, just wait until you try some of the higher BC Altaros slugs in the proper twist rates and power levels?! I think it was a GA drag profile that fit pellets best, but I use G1, except oft I have to change parameters slightly to get the dope nearest to perfect. I still use the old SHOOTER app...

There are many pcp's that have POI shifts which means missing or wounding small game, especially on the first shot. Been around many brands and have seen or heard of the various problems from cheap guns to expensive guns. Man I've spent over $20,000 on pcp's the previous 25 years. Only four...
