As an advocate of spring powered air rifles, indeed all air powered guns & rifles, I have a concern that the appearance of this "AR" styled gun will easily be mistaken for appearing like an AR semiautomatic weapon. Sure looks like it to me! I fear that this plastic airgun will nudge the anti...

A little love and TLC, and you"ll have a real jewel. If you can, shoot it by a chronograph before you do anything to it and then again after you get into her internals and get it all cleaned up with the proper lubricants. Thinking of doing a tuning as well? Orv.

Ahhh , now you've opened the proverbial can of worms. On my TX200 I've installed a Vortek PG4 full power tune. The 12 fpe tune is popular as well and may actually be better for field target applications. The TbT tunes have a great folllowing too. YouTube has a plethora of "how to" videos on...

These pistols sound great, if a bit pricy. I purchased my Springfield Arms Garrison 9mm with wood grips for just about that price. Its fun to shoot and target rounds aren't too expensive. It's my carry weapon to boot. Orv.

I know that a lot of you are as addicted to airguns as I am, so I've been wondering: How many of you subscribe to the British magazine, AIRGUN WORLD? Being based in Great Britain, some of the articles aren't of interest to those of us "across the pond" , but for the most part, I always enjoy...

Where AI may be present, I don’t quite know what to believe. Half truths and lies makes it unreliable. Stephen, with you I know where the truth is. Thank you. Orv.

Indeed my stalwart wife is completely healed and tough as ever. We have agreed however, to keep our travels to the warmer climes. I'm happy that both our wives have healed. After all, somebody's got to take care we husbands. That sounds selfish, but it is what it is. Orv.

Fortunately, I haven't needed to return an Athlon scope under warranty yet.I have a nice mid- level Athlon scope which is serving as my "extra" scope for now. I had it on my Sheridan, but decided to remain shooting it with it's original open sites.My experience has been with Hawke Scopes. I...

BbGUNN: My wife and I absolutely promised our Army son that we'd be wherever he might be once it was time to pin his full Colonel Eagels on him. He was then stationed at the Army War College in Carlyle, Pennsylvania. When it was timem I fired up the old motorhome/bus and heaaded for Carlyle...

I joined, now when do I get my laminated membership card? Orv.

Nahh. . . It would take away the svelte beauty on my walnut stocks and blued metal. I'm good.

I appreciate each of the above answers. . . all are food for thoight. One issue for me is that I'm unable to get my desired 4" eye relief with my single piece rings mounted on my TX200 or HW9K. The single piece rings will work on my HW50S, but for now, I'm enjoying shooting this rifle using it's...

I've recently changed out the scope rings on my TX200 & HW97K , with Sportsmatch duel rings, with a stop pin on the rear ring. Hawke Scopes are mounted on both rifles. In my kit bag of tricks is a long un-used single mount with 2 rings about 3"apart. If a scope will clear when mounted in this...

Oh oh . . . I hope that no moisture got into NJ's internals. Orv.
