How come no one talks about the newest Labradar, the mini LR LX? I was looking over the 75yard benchrest photos and noticed one on the bench in one of the photos. It must be good if they're using it... but not a peep on most of the forums. What gives? Anyone got one? Give us the dope on it.

I traded for an EPL4 4-16x and love it. My favorite scope as of now. I’ll probably buy another one when a deal comes along. The EPL4 IS a scope to dial, big elev knob and giant numbers make it super easy. Every scope has its pros & cons, none are perfect. The only thing I’d change is I wish...

Mine is sfp. I have both sfp and ffp scopes and really no preference.

I bought a used Engage 4-16x to put on one of my airguns and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the scope. It has very good clarity and resolution. It is pretty impressive indeed. The Deploy MOA reticle is very fine, but somehow it shows up pretty well in lower light. Now, when you get...

So how did this turn out? Anything yet?

I'd have to agree, if you know how to use tools, it's likely you don't need a torque wrench for rings. PCP rifles just don't need anything anywhere near tight. Springer can be a problem if they're magnums, but I still only tighten them a bit more and they stay put. If you have to tighten any...

The real benefit of N2 is not only that it's dry, which it certainly is, but is that the lack of oxygen in the fill will eliminate oring being oxydized and breaking down. They will last longer. I feed a GX compressor N2 from a 40cu/ft cyl at 10psi at the inlet and you need no further moisture...

The R7 is truly a classic, I don't think that's any big revelation. I just came into an older R7 that had some minor neglect and tore it down and put in a breech seal, new spring and re-lubed it. The piston seal was in great condition, so I reused it. I don't know what they did to this gun, but...

I had one and IIRC that is the poly barrel in the magnums, and mine shot most things pretty darn well. Maybe just a weird barrel. Some are like that.

Sad to see, a great, great rifle, too long and too expensive.

I have several air rifles and among them are three Crown mk2's. Whenever I'm shooting another rifle, and things don't go as I had hoped, and I'm getting frustrated, I pull out one of the Crowns and they never disappoint, always putting a big smile on my face. I think I have 8 or more barrels...

Frankly, the 270z is a far more exciting release than the Gen3 Mrod. I have enough pcps, but am leaning toward buying this one to add to the mix.

You are right about what you said, SSG is a plus, I'll give you the bottle, and yes, the power is there no doubt about that. I don't see the consistency of a reg'd gun here. Now was it tuned? Who knows? Maybe with some work it will come around. I'm not being a dork, but there's just nothing...

Been watching the G3 ever since it was announced, and just a few minutes ago, got through reading the HAM full review. Nothing I've seen so far has convinced me I need one. Maybe I'm the outlier, but nothing seems to speak to my wishes/needs, which is fine, I'm not the one they have to please...

Yeah, the fact that it has a balanced valve is cool and a ssg is a big plus, and would change some minds for sure. I'm still in the "we'll see" crowd.
