PCP/CO2/HPA Air Gun Gates "The Darkside" / Re: .25 Avenger revisit.« Last post by avator on Today at 06:50:25 PM »I'm out to 45 yds. That's what I have inside the fenced area. I can go out beyond 100yds but I don't want to set targets in the woods.I shot the remaining yardsale stickers off the 45yd. target and painted it red (I'm out of black paint). I have lime green yardsale stickers to put on it.Lime green on red is going to play tricks on your eyes :O LOL It gets boring then move the targets farther back, but not too far you miss "Boringly accurate" was a bit of sarcasm. Who could ever get bored with consistent 1/2" groups at 45 yds ? What I need to do is put a variety of different types of reactive targets at 45 yds. Boringly accurate is alot better than the alternative. 4
Back Room / Re: So if you didn't do anything airgun related what did you do today?« Last post by fireslinger on Today at 06:48:15 PM »Did some kayak fishing out in Millington TN It's an Aquaglide Blackfoot 130. I have 15yr old sevylor rio but I don't use it that much anymore because it's not really designed for fishing. The Aquaglide inflates to 6psi and is stiff enough for me to stand on compared to the 1.5psi on the sevlyor. I don't like messing with a hard shell either and it's really easy to inflate and move these things. 5

Optics, Range estimation & related subjects / Monstrum Marksman Prism Scopes Review« Last post by bchannell on Today at 06:34:31 PM »While looking for a sight for my Notos, I tried several different scopes and then stumbled onto prism scopes and was curious but they are too expensive. Then I saw the Monstrum line of prism scopes that are around $100. I've seen some of Monstrum scopes and they are ok, but nothing special, so I didn't have much hope. I ordered from Amazon so I could return it if I didn't like it.
Well, the first is a Marksman 3X with the circle dot reticle. I read the specs, 5.5-6" eye relief, lighted reticle, so ok, I'll give it a go. It arrived and first look showed it was pretty darn clear and bright at all distances. As most know the dot is not like a red dot, so no astigmatism problems, as the dot is crystal clear. Illumination is perfect with absolutely no bleed, and plenty of adjustment. It's just barely visable in sunlight on high, but that's not what it's for. You need the turret caps or a coin to adjust the turrets. I've love to have finger turrets, but hey, you can't have it all. On my Notos, I was amazed at how handy that little dandy sight is. From 5yards to 40yards, I've figured out the dot hold over/under and can hit golf balls and pop cans at almost any distance mentioned. It makes for a super fun plinker, and believe it or not, using the correct bullseye, I've shot some super groups. These appear to be of a bit higher quality that Monstrum scopes for sure. After using it for a while, the 3moa dot is very good, but I decided to order a Marksman with the DX1 reticle, which is almost the same as the circle dot, except the circle is replaced by a segmented box around the dot, and the dot is now 2moa, but honestly I can't tell much difference. The second Marksman is just as clear and bright and both hold zero fine. For airguns, shooting from short to medium range, these are fantastic. You should give one a try, on the Notos, they're more fun than any other sight for plinking. 8

In fact I really love the stainless look and may order another on in .177. The HW guns are my favorite of all of my many rifles. Charles
