    PCP reliability and accuracy/precision

    kthomas, send that gun off to Derrick Wall of Tenacious Airguns out of Texas. He's a great guy and just as good a shooter. He's also a premier tuner. BTW Tiapan is one of the all time best pcp's ever made. It just needs new orings is all. OP, as far as PRS or NRL shooting the FX Panthera and...

    Quality BB gun?

    Even now in my old age I wouldn't mind a higher quality BB gun. I've been tempted to buy this one, lol! It uses a battery system and gets good reviews. Barra 400E. https://barraairguns.com/cdn/shop/files/400e_polymer_001.jpg?v=1744401420&width=2000 55 years ago I started with a Daisy Field...

    K-Bars Small fixed blade for your daily carry?

    Dawson with their USA made Magnacut steel is a good one and I've had nothing other than positive experiences with this company. I love their proprietary metal finishes. Here's my four so far. I EDC a fixed blade all day long and much prefer this over folders. The way the Contractor feels in...

    737R 6 Dasher Build - Rounds Sticking In Chamber

    Just throwing this out there. If not you then maybe someone else later on. Another thing that might be happening is you have a tight chamber causing not quite enough expansion at the .200 line on the web of the case. Exacerbated the hotter the load is because the brass expands a tiny bit more...

    Older NightForce NXS 5.5-22x56mm vs. New Arken

    The erector got temporarily stuck on one of my NF 5.5-22's so the elevation didn't respond to inputs. I dialed the elevation turret all the way up and down 3-4 times and whatever got stuck came loose and GTG afterwards but I never trusted it again. This is pretty much why I started trying other...

    Older NightForce NXS 5.5-22x56mm vs. New Arken

    I owned 3 of that same NF. At the time one of the better scopes but glass was only ok. Had a F1 3.5-15 and a 2.5-10 also. Wasn't ever impressed with a NF yet. So haven't owned a NF in a decade and haven't missed them at all. For the money get yourself a Athlon Midas Tac 6-24. Great scope and...

    Rifle Scopes March 5-42 Gen 2 PRS Edition

    Thanks for the video. Hey does the G2 PRS edition still focus down to 10Y? Also how generous is the eyebox compared to the other brands if compared at a mid magnification like 15x?

    Rifle Scopes Steiner T6Xi 3-18x56 Review and comparison with NF ATACR 4-16x42, S&B US 3-20x50 and March 4.5-28x52

    The turrets are sub par. Elev feels like a $400 scope and windage like a $200 scope. Somehow I missed that the elev was 6 mil when I ordered it, which was my fault but nevertheless I don't like it. I would have preferred 5 mil instead or better yet 10 mil. Glass is okay at best. Not my...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner T6Xi 3-18x56 Review and comparison with NF ATACR 4-16x42, S&B US 3-20x50 and March 4.5-28x52

    Just saying that the LHT 4.5-22 is the most disappointing $2000 retail scope I've ever had. It's been hard to find a rifle to put it on and has sat in the safe much of the time. On a light pcp air rifle pellet gun right now that I don't shoot much - not my favorite air rifle or scope so.... It's...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner T6Xi 3-18x56 Review and comparison with NF ATACR 4-16x42, S&B US 3-20x50 and March 4.5-28x52

    What scope will you try instead?

    737R 6 Dasher Build - Rounds Sticking In Chamber

    I also think it's a tolerance stack thing like a thinner neck on a few pieces of brass and a few bullets also slightly thinner. Oh and 6 Dasher has a short neck so not as grabby as say a 6mmBR. When I had to change from one brand bullet to another I had to buy a bushing .001 tighter. I could...

    737R 6 Dasher Build - Rounds Sticking In Chamber

    If you have a compressed load that could be causing the problem because if the seating tension is on the low side the bullet can creep forward. I've seen supposed .002" tension actually be .0015" when measured. I'd also check to make sure the seater die hasn't come loose. Yeah seat the bullets...

    26 pound 375 CT Recoil

    Virtually no recoil and no blast. Curious, which has lighter recoil, your FX Impact, or your 375CT, JK ?!

    6 ARC Longevity

    That's basically what 6mmFatRat is as well as the older 6mmART40. My 6mmFatRat/22"/8 twist/95SMK is at 2924 fps. I went away from all the other heavier bullets because the rifle upset is lower using 95's and the slower velocity of the heavies pretty much cancels out gains in wind drift. Just a...

    The Shot You’ll Never Forget Giveaway - Enter To Win A Barrel From Rifle Barrel Blanks!

    Around 13 years old I aimed 3-ish feet high to hit a tweety bird on the very top of a dead Ponderosa tree approx 90Y away. The bird fell instantly and bounced off some branches on the way down. This was with my Diana M27 spring piston air rifle and using a 8 grain pellet. I estimate only 1.5...

    Had myself a "1911 Day" the past week.

    1911's have come a long way in the last 40 years! I remember being at our local IPSC matches back then and the 1911 guys couldn't make it through a match without a malfunction so I'd beat them with my super reliable Highpower, and when I got the first G22 in town, it was game over for the rest...

    Customer Accuracy Expectations

    Just reminding that 10 fps ES amounts to 1" vertical at 200Y if life were perfect. Also that wind affects the vertical too. Ask the worlds top 22rf 50Y BR shooters if this is so. I know some of the worlds highest level N50 BR shooters using state of the art pcp airguns. One in particular...

    fair asking price? leishy

    There's also American Airguns classifieds, or used to be, the name might have been changed. I haven't been there in years but I've bought and sold there.
