Saying Bye to 2014 and Hello to 2015!
2014 proved to be a very interesting year in airguns. There were new airguns released boasting great new technologies. Some were successful, some are still waiting to be successful…. Anyway, the point is that the industry is constantly evolving with new products being created and released each year. The place to see all this new […]
Best Selling Air Rifles of 2014
2014 saw some exciting new changes in the airgun market from the introduction of the upgraded NP2 (Nitro Piston 2) power plant to the upgraded line of Marauders. While new technology is great, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they connect with the airgun community. So which airguns did YOU, the airgun community, like the best in 2014? […]
Walther LGV Master .177 Review – Part 3
I was hoping to get out and do some shooting outdoors, but the weather’s been cold, windy, and I’m fighting a cold. Since I’m trying to get better and not worse, I setup at my 10 yard heated, indoor range for some extended pellet testing. When time permits, I’ll catch everyone up on the 20 […]
Walther LGV Master .177 Review – Part 2
Let me say right up front, that the Walther spring guns series, which now includes the LGU underlever, are premium airguns that come at a premium price. They are also built around precision accuracy over maximum power, which means that they are probably going to appeal to a more discriminating, and probably older customer base. […]
Walther LGV Master .177 Review – Part 1
There’s an aggressive marketing push that has caused a lot of consumers, specifically new airgunners just getting into the sport, to just focus on gas ram or nitro piston airguns, and to consider traditional metal spring powered airguns as somehow sub-standard. What’s interesting regarding this train of thought, is that the majority of the most […]
Hatsan BT65 .35 Big Bore Update
So the last time I talked about the Hatsan BT65 big bore rifles, the .30 cal was about perfect, with the exception of shot count, and the .35 cal needed just a little tweaking on power and range, as shot count was pretty darn good. Well, I’ve got a bit of an update for you […]
Crosman 1322 Premier Shooter’s Kit
There are some airguns that every airgunner should own. It’s not about the power, or the build quality per say, it’s about the fact that they are iconic airguns that speak to the longevity and history of this great sport. The Crosman 1322 is the .22 caliber version of the 1377. It’s a multi-pump pistol […]
Scoping the RWS 34 – Part 3
Now to the fun part. Or, at least what I find is the fun part. Unfortunately many new airgunners find this part of the job VERY frustrating. Before we start, let’s take a look at what’s going on in general. Do you remember right triangles? When you sight in a scope you are adjusting the […]
Scoping the RWS 34 – Part 2
Now that we’ve gotten the correct base, proactively dealing with any possible barrel droop and/or scope slipping issues, it’s time to pick the right scope. Picking the right scope for a magnum springer is critical. The unique and harsh recoil caused by the piston slamming into the front of the compression chamber causes all manner […]
Scoping the RWS 34 – Part 1
It’s time to get back to my RWS 34 .177. In my opinion, every airgun hobbyist should own an RWS 34 at some point in their lives. I don’t know that you can truly call yourself an airgunner if you haven’t! But, that’s just my opinion. My RWS 34 .177 is through the break-in period […]
