Bargain Gate / Re: How to get a discount on PARD Scopes!« Last post by Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58) on Today at 07:32:32 PM »I have the 70mm and don't really need to use the zoom. These are digital, so zoom is digital not optical, so as you zoom in resolution is degraded. The 70mm will give you better clarity at the distances you are looking at.

Spruced one up for my wife but she never really took to it. Mine is very accurate with the 15.89 jsb's. Hope you get the leak squared away.

Back Room / Re: So if you didn't do anything airgun related what did you do today?« Last post by Madd Hatter on Today at 07:03:09 PM »Just finished putting a freeze on all 3 of my credit reports. Some how the dark web got ahold of my SSN.🤬🤬🤬🤬 I guess anybody who pays for it is going to get a surprise when they can't open a account in my name. Hopefully it works as I've never done this before. I guess it was from a ATT date breach.

China/Asian AirGun Gate / Re: Diana 34 Clone« Last post by Methuselah on Today at 06:47:04 PM »Still Crosman Pointed, new tin, old pellet design. Ten, not particularly taking my time, 34 feet. Didn't measure, but all would have hit a dime (barely).
Found the screws had come loose and tightened them before shooting this group. Wanted to scope it for this round but was still inches high at 5 or 6 yards with the erector bound. Breech seal is very close to surface of block. Reverse mounted drooper rail, shimmed ring, floss behind the breech seal, or bend the barrel? It shoots smoother now that the screws are snugged up Maybe also notable, more pellets from new tin were a loose fit in the breech. 8

PCP/CO2/HPA Air Gun Gates "The Darkside" / Re: Daisy Powerline 880« Last post by match66 on Today at 06:43:41 PM »Today I set up 2 tin cans @ +/- 30 yds. Tried RWS Hobbys and H&N Icon II pellets wadcutters. 2 pumps and hit the cans no problem! Pellets just hit it is a joy to shoot this 880. Pumped 6 times and hitting the cans harder, one is a bean can little heavier than the coke can. I can say I am putting holes in the coke can not sure I am putting holes in the bean can. Tomorrow, I will check it out.
But again, for a back yard pinker, this is one swell rifle 10
Air Gun Gate / Re: So.....what did you shoot today?« Last post by Spacebus on Today at 06:25:12 PM »I shot all of my air guns today. My 457 Challenger seems to have become more powerful? Even with the shroud and Donny FL Emperor my ears are ringing. Last time I shot this gun I don't remember hearing a super sonic crack! Anyone ever had a gun get more powerful after sitting for a year? Last time I shot this gun it was hilariously quiet, so something is up. When my new chronograph gets here I'll see what the actual velocity is. I left it cocked for a week by accident, but if that affected anything it would be less powerful. It's an unregulated big bore, so it's definitely a weird phenomenon. Maybe the poppet spring is worn in after being under pressure for years? |
