    Airguns Beating Rimfires

    I'm needing to sell some stuff I don't use much to fund some other stuff I've been wanting but I've been blowing that off for far too long. Recently I robbed the March 1-10 off my AR and put it on my new Western Mordax Venom semi auto pcp , which it's about perfect for, except I like that scope...

    Vortex Razor LHT

    I'm thinking of trying this thing out on the Western Mordax Venom I just got. Or the similar version Vector. Kinda a cheap scope but on this gun I need something really short, light, and less expensive. That's a March DFP 1-10x28 on it for now. Robbed from my AR...

    Airguns Beating Rimfires

    It's a long explanation but as short as I can... PCP's; A 12 fpe .177 you can get hundreds of shots per fill using a mid sized bottle like a 480cc, and if you have say a 700cc bottle on the gun you could shoot more than a 500 count tin of pellets before filling that resevoir again. For shooting...

    Airguns Beating Rimfires

    Way back I'd just go to the dive shop to get my tanks filled but most of my pcp's were 30 fpe or less so I didn't need to go back to get them filled but once a month in the summers. Fills back then were $5. That all changed when I started to buy more powerful pcp's, meaning fills were now $10...

    Airguns Beating Rimfires

    PRS rimfire will change their mind once ammo has gotten so expensive to enough people that attendance has dropped significantly. Only a matter of time until that happens, heck it's partially why I stopped, and definitely why I didn't buy another case of lot tested Polar Biathlon. Logical...

    The most fun airgun I ever had = Western Mordax Venom.

    Easier to post the link to my review on AN forum but comment or ask questions here too if you want. https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/western-mordax-venom-first-impressions-and-eventual-ongoing-review.1336367/

    PCP for benchrest?

    Generally you don't want to be using .177 pellets at 100Y. Slugs maybe but it takes work, time, and some luck to find the right combo that shoots well enough. Except for how hugely .177 pellets blow they are reasonably precise at 80Y because we can hit 1/5th scale chicken silhouettes most of the...

    Anschutz 1727 APR

    I don't mind a new magazine system but it has to be as close to perfect as possible. You know how some companies are, they'll bring out great innovative products but rush it out with problems that haven't been worked out yet because the bean counters and ceo's thought we were dumb and wouldn't...

    Anschutz 1727 APR

    I hope they get the mag right because if they don't that'll ruin the whole thing. The reliability of the Fortner is as important as the cool action is. It's gotta work 99.999 % of the time, and especially at this price tier. Man Anschutz you have one chance so don't screw it up!

    Vortex Razor LHT

    Not exactly what I'm looking for because of the weight but I like the size of it for the mag range and as long as the 6x ratio, while being so "compact", doesn't compromise the IQ much, well good on Vortex. But I'm sure many will want that scope. Any specifics on the reticle yet? Daylight...

    Vortex Razor LHT

    Lets hope it comes out in a more accepted overall form.

    Vortex Razor LHT

    Yes I know. Except Razor is a flagship labeling. I had a old 1st gen Razor 5-20 that was pretty good so I expected similar and knew the G3 Razors were way better so I assumed which was a mistake. I bet if a vote were took there'd be a bunch of us that would pay the money for a Razor LHT...

    Vortex Razor LHT

    Yeah it comes off like a scope in that price range. My inexpensive Helos G2 turrets are so superior to the turrets in the LHT that it's a let down. I feel the same about the Helos G2 reticles too but I'm biased.

    Vortex Razor LHT

    I don't "see" the IQ in my LHT 5-22 as anything special, heck the IQ in my Athlon ETR 15-60 BR scope is noticeably better. Well to be fair this ETR actually does have nice glass for it's price. The poorly done LHT turrets shouldn't be in a scope of this price range and 6 mils per turn is such a...

    Anschutz 1727 APR

    When I used to use my 1827F for NRL22 I'd pick up extra points on stages with awkward positions, meaning I didn't need to change or break my current position, and sometimes that made for winning the match. So it's much like using a semi except having the precision of a bolt gun. You save time...

    Is the .17HMR really much better than .22LR for varmints?

    Not that people do it much but the farther out "long range wise" for a 17 hmr it gets the tougher it is to see misses and by then that 17 grainer has blown a lot in the wind. Once in a while I'll run across interesting scenarios when shooting with friends. One involved my friend and his 17 hmr...

    22 cal Slug/lead bullet BC's

    I tried to get Mike to design a repeater more than once, the answer was nope. I'd like to see a pcp mimicking that Anschutz 1727F APR 22rf, including somehow implementing stick mags and the chassis integral to the action. Tall order but it'd be the ultimate.

    What cars you fools have?

    Congrats! That's what I'd get too if I had the extra $$$$$$ for it, well except in Red. I like the looks of C6's, not so much C7's, but love the body style of C8's. Your C8 is more performance than I could ever need/want. Our Camry hybrid is surprisingly spirited so I bet that C8 screams.

    Thanks Lash. I let the woodsmith have free rein on the stock so it's all his design. A hybrid design to be used in different ways. I'd done things a little differently but to be fair the communication between us wasn't the best and I'm to blame for my part in this. Plus this was his first...
