    Airguns Beating Rimfires

    It's my 4 year old Thomas HPX custom and set up for 65-ish fpe. This is when it's in it's benchrest configuration. This in it's normally used configuration, aka bipod and rear bag, but I don't shoot it prone much anymore. A 87Y group and that 100Y group with it. One time I hit our 100Y 1"...

    Airguns Beating Rimfires

    I doubt popularity of pcp's in PRS or NRL will ever catch up to that of rimfire. What I'd really like to see is how well the very best 22rf shooters in these sports would do with a well tuned good running pcp vs there own 22rf in a bigger match.

    Airguns Beating Rimfires

    Man if you think 22rf's are zany then just own a pcp air rifle for a while and you'll learn what finicky really is. Though some pcp's are just about trouble free and others can be a PITA. It's mostly the match 22rf ammo cost that drove me away from shooting mine more often but also I can shoot...

    Why are AR15s so difficult to shoot for the average shooter?

    Take airguns for example, you'll get the best of the shot if you use good form and follow through on the shot. Don't change your hold or anything else if possible and you'll be rewarded. Semi's if shot the same way can shoot great. The fact is you need to finesse the shot because you can't get...

    6mm Mini Short Mag

    No it's not worth the hassle and I know this because; I could roll WSSM brass on a flat surface and see the run out of the neck. The primer pockets were all over the place in depth and in other aspects. Flash holes were horrible as in not centered and there was a lot of brass burs punched into...

    EDC knife recommendation

    I've lost 2 decent knives so far and they were both Micro's. Each the same way meaning they jostled out of my pocket from the loose fit on my pockets. I prefer magnacut steel fixed blade knives now though. This special steel has most of the qualities of SS and much that of high carbon steel so...

    Damascus knives?

    I have both types, one a damascus folder I carry fairly often when I don't want the heft of my fixed blades, fixed most being Magancut steel for durability, edge retention, and I EDC them regularly. Some damascus folders I carry on special occasions and these are normal sized folders. Nothing...

    22 cal Slug/lead bullet BC's

    Man what you stated is right on the mark! It's pretty insane no one has built a super stout pcp repeater yet. The potential is already present for pcp's to out do 22rf using current slug designs and as a bonus super low SD too. I've already mentioned it here on SH but those 25 cal Altaros 60gr...

    Athlon Ares ETR gen 2 vs Athlon Cronus BTR gen 2

    Thanks for your thoughts. Sounds like the G2 ETR is up there pretty good in most aspects for the price! Man I like my BTR G3 a lot and I didn't find anything odd about it as far as what you described but I don't have any scopes with super generous eyeboxes either and at 2.5x it seemed massive...

    Athlon Ares ETR gen 2 vs Athlon Cronus BTR gen 2

    We're talking the ETR G2 here so maybe it's up there with the, now older (totally antiquated-just kidding), Cronus G2. If that G2 ETR is anything like my Ares BTR G3 2.5-15x50 is then it is likely very impressive in this space of rifle scopes. I'd like to compare myself to see the differences...

    Schmidt Bender PMII 5-25 Ultra Short question

    I'd buy both and another gun to put the extra on ;)

    22 cal Slug/lead bullet BC's

    No. From the outside I like it a lot but that's all I have to say right now. Most likely next Friday for initial try out but there's no reception back where I'll be camping. Might give a quick report if I go into town.

    It's hilarious that their helmets are twice the size of the wheels!

    Most of us were born way too late! Can you imagine doing this at their age.

    22 cal Slug/lead bullet BC's

    I actually know Tom. It's weird because he's a very nice guy and easy to get a long with but CS is pretty bad and I don't understand the disconnect going on????? That was his best move getting in with AOA because he has to be at least a little accountable to Robert. Yes I feel sorry for those...

    22 cal Slug/lead bullet BC's

    It wouldn't be as fun without the doggies, right?! I haven't tried that scope. Honestly I've just been buying Athlon's lately because they are such a good value per quality and I get a good price on them. That being said I'd like to try every nice scope out there, wouldn't we all, right?! ;)

    22 cal Slug/lead bullet BC's

    My Western Mordax "Venom", which is a important model distinction from the standard Mordax, has a 300cc bottle on it instead of the tube so it gets a lot more shots per fill. How much I won't know until next week because the testing of it is something I'm reserving until then. You know how it is...

    22 cal Slug/lead bullet BC's

    I didn't have the best experience with the 30 cal EVOL either. I'm not shooting my Mordax Venom till late next week on my camping trip so we'll find out then. Hopefully the Submoa barrel in it performs. I got it from Tom that his new barrel honer is working well. Fingers crossed. My Steyr...

    AGT Uragan 3 video

    The Olympic match pcp rifles and pistols I've owned, even more so my Thomas air rifles, have superior feeling triggers to the Tiapan but it's apples vs oranges since they are/relatively were back then, three times the price of Taipan. I never could get over the "cock the Vet behind the ear...

    22 cal Slug/lead bullet BC's

    Same here. Even though a friend of mine got so old he quit shooting, thus selling me cases of match 22rf for 40% of todays prices, I hardly shoot the rimfires. It's like a 1-5 ratio if comparing to the airguns. My Skout EVO is kinda like your Western. Man what a cluster of problems but that...
