Well, they probably figure it’s been so long since they promised them, that we’ve already forgotten what they promised LOL 🤣😂🤣 The CCI are only 16.99 but I don’t have a slug capable.22.

I bought it and the Alpha at the same time and the Buster took a month traveling around the country before it showed up. I designed a folding stock for it and quickly fired a partial mag through it, just to make sure it worked. I had already started playing around with the Alpha and so I put...

The halos start shipping Monday and CCI states that the .22 slugs are available now on their website.

Yeah, it’s been fun lol. I guess I’ll have to reorder the pellet liner. I’ll try the stock liner first.

I think I may have fired 5 shots through the Buster.

This gets funnier by the minute. Apparently the rifle has shown up in Jacksonville FL. and they’re going to deliver it a little late. I sure hope it shoots good with the stock liner lol.

I’m a proud FX owner: it might only be a Bag Rider but what the heck. I’m not sure this purchase could get any worse. First I’m told by UPS that they believe the FX Panthera MKII that I ordered is either lost or stolen - it hasn’t been seen since Tuesday. Then thirty minutes ago I received the...

I was actually excited to try something different lol. Who knows, maybe it will be like the Buster and show up several states away from where it should’ve been and no tracking to show how it got there.

I replaced the front bag on the electric rest with a base that I designed to allow the rifle to freely move with the recoil. It was very windy with a variable right to left crosswind. I shot a quick X-Shot 50yd Bench Rest card. It was ugly, but I’ll post it anyway lol. I’m going to build a new...

Well, I balked at their $53 Shiptection fee to insure it for damage, loss or theft. It’s double what UPS would charge for $2400 insurance. That’s because the store gets a cut of the fee. But, because of the value, I said screw it and paid it. The part that really sucks is that it has to be...

It started moving in the UPS system at 8pm Tuesday in Long Island. At 9pm UPS sent out the dreaded “Delayed due to conditions beyond our control” alert. No updates yesterday. No updates today and so late in the afternoon I contacted UPS. At first they gave me the run around. Then they called me...

I’m getting back out of airguns. There’s just too much hassle with everything being mail order.

I hope you’re right lol. It started moving in Long Island at 9pm last night, then at 10pm I started getting the delayed messages. It hasn’t tracked since. I almost drove to Talon Airguns to pick something else up. 😁

Why do I feel another episode like the Pinty Buster that took UPS a month to deliver. “Uncontrollable events have delayed delivery. We are adjusting delivery plans as quickly as possible. Please check back on the next business day for updates.”

It’s well mixed. There’s a lot of good quality air rifles. When the top shooters are shooting perfect or near perfect cards with a variety of air rifles, it does point to shooter skills, wind reading, marksmanship etc..
