As much as I love my TX200, It broke again this afternoon. Well, not the rifle itself exactly, but the scope stop pin sheared off. I use Sportsmatch scope rings with the pre-installed stop pin (from AoA). This is the 2nd time in the 6 years I've been shooting my TX200 that its severed this pin...

I guess the title of my post explains the question fairly well, but here's a quick background: I recently used the last of the suppplied moly grease for my Vortek Tune packages. I checked Amazon and ordered a can of moly grease by Valvolene. There was no indication that it was synthetic...

I recently (3 months ago) recieved a new rifle from Airguns of Arizona. They kindly offered me an aluminum rifle case free of charge with it. They had evidently had it returned to them from another customer. A of A had no further use for it and offered to send my new rifle solidly packed in this...

I was just perusing the Pyramyd AIR web page, and loe and behold there it was . . . free shipping has been raised from $150.00 to $175.00 for free shipping! This, and the buy 3 and get the 4th free for all ammo, and the draw of the free shipping for purchases above $150.00 has been the great...

My old brain may well be faulty, but wasn't Umarex a member of our HAM rewards plan? I just noticed that they are missing as I was perusing their Legends brand this AM. I can't imagine why such a company as Umarex would drop out of the program and forgo the advertising dollars as well as the...

Earlier today I heard mention via ytube that my favorite go to for almost everything, Balistol, will damage the blueing on my guns. I've been using it liberally on both my pb guns as well as my airguns for about 6 years now. It makes everything shine, eliminating fingerprints, disolving oil...

I always keep my rifles with their wooden stocks shining and lubricated with Balistol at every use. Of course, they're kept waxed with Renaissance Wax. Now what is the best way to care for my HW50s with blue laminated wood? Thanks in advance for your ideas and help, Orv.

Tomorrow's the day when I will finally be able to test my TX200, .22 cal over the chronograph. Over the weekend I installed a Vortek PG4 Tune kit. The temperature tomorrow will range in the low 70's here in the So. Cal. High Desert. I'm interested in hearing from those of you with this tune...

The saga over the past six years of my TX200, .22 cal is coming full circle. I received a Vortek PG4 Tune kit in the mail today. Yes, I attempted this installation five years ago, I blew it, the top hat was stuck in the compression tube and I didn't realize it. Adding the one from Vortek...

Late last year I purchased an Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph. The features of this chronograph are amazing and it's so easy to use. The features aren't up to those of the Lab chronograph, or even the Garmin, but each of these has features I neither need nor can afford. So . . . back to my...

As much as I appreciate the article on JSB pellets, I would certainly appreciate an explanation of what defines Match pellets vs Exacts and finally Hades pellets. I am assuming that each. Of these will be offered in a dome, or a diabolo, and last, the

Last year I eagerly awaited the arrival of my 18 tins of Benjamin Single Die Pellets in 22 cal. My TX200 loves them (when it's working, that is), so I now have enough to get me through this year. Anyway, I noticed on another thread that Benjamin's were no longer mentioned as being made in the...

A few days ago I ordered a blue laminated stock, HW 50S .22 cal. rifle from Airguns of Arizona. This is the "75th Year Anniversary Collectors Edition ", and all the pictures of it are gorgeous. It's not like I don't have enough nice rifles to shoot already, but as I drool over this beautiful...

I thought that I was going to break the bank this coming Spring, but in a conversation with Darin at AoA this afternoon, I found out that there were only 13 blue laminate HW50S left in stock, and he wasn't at all sure when or if any more 75th Anniversary models would be arriving. I had wanted a...

May your NEW YEARS be brought in with a proper BANG! Were camped out on Colorado at Arroyo awaiting the Rose Parade. This year in a cold rain. The crowds are still out, awaiting the most beautiful and patriotic parade of the year. We've celebrated the New Year here nearly every year for 70...

Over the weekend I used 1000 of my HAM points to make a purhase at Airguns of Arizona. I spoke to their sales associate and he directed me as to using my HAM points. With the help of Mr. Archer here at HAM, I was able to easily navigate through the purchase, getting my 10% discount from my HAM...

That's right, I stupidly shot the LED display on my ProChronoDeLux chronograph and it died. Good shot you say! I'll take that, but it wasn't I was aiming for. Oh well, it's served me well over the years. But now I think that I want something nicer, something more convenient. I've studied...

That's right, I stupidly shot the LED display on my Competition ProChrono DLX chronograph and it died. Good shot you say! I'll take that, but it wasn't I was aiming for. Oh well, it's served me well over the years. But now I think that I want something nicer, something more convenient. I've...

I suppose that this isn't a very big deal, yet it is on my TX200 MKlll, .22cal. I've had this wonderful rifle for five and a half years now, having purchased it new from Pyramyd Air. The continuing issue is that the safety fails to engage most of the time. I'll be open as to it's history: after...

Its been hot here in Southern California, so I haven't been inclined to get out and shoot as much as I'd really like, although I did spend the afternoon on Monday on the range shooting my HW97K. It was indeed hot, but I still enjoyed myself. Today I'm going to enjoy myself in the airconditioning...
