The struggle for almost anyone that’s considering the purchase of a PCP airgun is how to fill it.  There are a lot of misconceptions on this topic which is why I addressed this question early on with some “How to fill your PCP” articles on this blog.  What’s interesting to consider however, is that it […]

The Benjamin discovery kit is not something that we’re going to be able to cover in just one or two segments.  Because this rifle, in my opinion, is the perfect “first airgun” for anyone moving over from firearms, I want to be as thorough as necessary. Let’s take a closer look… The Benjamin Discovery weighs […]

We’ve been looking at how to transition to airguns from rimfire and center fire guns.  The transition is frustrating if you don’t know what to expect.  We’ve looked at some entry level break barrels and while I can get them to shoot OK at close range, I can tell you that you’re not going to […]

I know I left you all hanging with the last article and frankly that’s part of the fun of writing these blog posts.  In this part 2 we’ll take a look at how our newly adjusted .25 cal Synthetic Marauder did on the range.  My hope was to be able to stretch things out to […]

I was not sure what to expect in my initial review of the new Synthetic .25 cal Marauder.  I thought it would shoot and act just like the original.  Well, that’s what I get for thinking.  If you take a look at the video, or read the video transcript here on Airgun Depot, you’ll see […]

In our last article about the Gamo Silent Cat we found that it was doing pretty darn well at 10 yards with the 10.3 Grain JSB Heavy pellets.  So well in fact that I was inclined to replace the sub-par scope with a Hawke 3-9×40 AO Sport HD and a set of Hawke Match Grade […]

Finally! – We are going to wrap up the review of the HW50 medium powered .22 breakbarrel.  We are going to use the same test pellet series as previously tested, we’ll just be shooting outdoors at 20 yards vs indoors at 10 yards.  I’ve also added a Hawke 4-12×40 Airmax EV AO scope with MAP6 […]

We are still looking at budget conscience airguns and in this article we’ll tackle the Gamo Silent Cat.  This is a very popular airgun that promises a lot on paper.  Let’s take a look and see if what’s on paper translates and delivers practical performance. Let’s talk aesthetics, features, and function… The Gamo Silent cat […]

We are continuing our journey looking for budget airguns that deliver on accuracy and performance.  Hopefully they deliver performance well above their price point.  Today’s example started out as the Remington Vantage.  It’s had a few changes and is now the Crosman Vantage.  Let’s take a look. Not much to look at… but is that […]

If you’re new to airguns I certainly get the fact that you may not be ready to drop $600 to $1000 on a PCP airgun setup.  Heck, there are are old time airguners that are not interested in ever going PCP just because the startup costs just don’t jive with their shooting needs. So what […]
