My name is Joe and I am joining this forum from the Richmond, Virginia area. Fairly new to airguns (started with Atomic XR about 18mos ago, traded up to a BRK Ghost and not sure it will end there).

Cheers

Ahh another ghost owner, welcome! Starting to be pretty common gun on Ham, good to hear! What caliber is yours and how far you shooting it? Mine is a .22HP all stock.

Hi @Danman - it came as a .22HP and I ran it a bit in that configuration. I put a .177 carbine barrel on it for some pests around the house (30) yds. The .22 groups well out to 100yds.

Hello and welcome.

Sounds like you went to go big or go home route.

I just tried dipping my toe in the water and got swept away by the rip current .

Yup - I am kinda drawn to rabbit holes. I want (not need) better scope now and debating stepping up to electronic version (Delta Wolf).

Scope is Althon Argos BTR g2 6x24x50 ffp

Welcome! Soon we'll have you trying cheaper guns for "beater" duty, like 3622, Notos, and the various Beemans. Then you'll be forced into the springer rabbit hole....

Ahhhh Virginia. The women out there were….wait we’re doing airguns right? Hey there @erdb Welcome to HAM. I see you hopped in with both feet and snagged some quality airguns. I’m familiar with the BRK brand, but not those two rifles. The scope rabbit hole runs deep as well. Are you primarily shooting pest animals, hunting, plinking, or shooting paper?

Hi @Ezana4CE - started by needing to solve a long overdue pest problem but I enjoy powder burners so it’s a natural transition to target shooting. Part of the reason for picking up .177 barrel was to get below 20fpe and try HFT.

On a side note, I see a lot of the same handles here that I see on the other airgun forum.

Welcome. Most assuredly do not end with a ghost. Plenty of nice rifles to go around. Enjoy.

Thanks. Just ordered a Midas Tac 6x24x50 to up my scope game on it.

@erdb Airguns are an efficient means of handling pests. HFT seems challenging. I’m not sure if there’s a scene on your area, but I’d imagine if you got out into the counties there may be some airgun groups. There’s certain room for thy sort of thing out there. Do you have any interest in benchrest target shooting? Have you connected with any airgun clubs in your area?

Hi Ezana4CE. I don’t mind a challenge but most airgun clubs are 2-3 hours South of me. I’ll have more time later this year after retiring and plan to get more involved in the sport)

Hft is a fun game and a great way to meet like minded people. Your ghost should serve well I love mine!
