Boy it’s hot outside in Arizona in the middle of August! I think it’s time that I take a short break before taking the NP2 out into the desert for some longer range tests. So, I thought I’d take a little diversion and shoot one, maybe a couple of airguns that are suitable for indoor […]
The Benjamin Trail NP2 – Part 4
UPS picked up the Synthetic .22 Cal Benjamin Trail NP2 just the other day. Fortunately I had already received the replacement NP2, this time in wood vs synthetic. I’ve gained a lot of knowledge already about this new line of airguns from Crosman and I’m eager to see the similarities and also the differences I […]

Evanix Tactical Sniper Review
Overall Reviewer Rating Accuracy Ergonomics Quietness Power Trigger At the age of ten (29 years ago) I got my first air rifle and I vividly remember how giant those .177 wadcutters looked. Perhaps being smaller then had something to do with it… or perhaps it was just the newness & excitement of it all. Growing […]

BSPP / NPT ?
What’s the difference and why do I care? One of the most difficult learning curves in airgunning is figuring out what fitting does what when trying to fill your new PCP airgun. With the shortage and expense of .22 LR these days, more and more people are moving to PCP airguns as an alternative. This […]
The Benjamin Trail NP2 Synthetic – Part 3
It’s time to start seeing what the new NP2 synthetic can do from the bench. As always I setup my 10 yard indoor range to get a baseline of what this little rifle can do. It always takes some time to get going, so I started by putting about 100 pellets down range. Getting in […]
The Benjamin Trail NP2 .22 Synthetic – Part 2
Before you can really do a proper review of an airgun, you need to be certain that you are through the prerequisite break-in period. That will be shorter for some and longer for others. Generally speaking, gas ram driven airguns tend to need less time than their metal spring powered cousins, so I’m not expecting […]

The Benjamin Trail NP2 .22 Synthetic – Part 1
I received my replacement NP2 just a few days ago. I finally got the chance to take a look at this example of the second manufacturing run. I opted for the synthetic version as I preferred the original synthetic Trail NP to the wood stock version. Initial look out of the box. The first thing […]
AT44 / BT65 Quattro Trigger Adjustments
Adjustable triggers are both a blessing and a curse. They are a blessing if you are patient and know how to adjust them properly. They are a curse if you are impatient and prone to knob dickering. (It’s a real word. Look it up.) This is a very unique phrase that I learned while on […]

Big Bore Airguns – Part 2
There’s the practical and then there’s the flamboyant. Evanix has created something that sits somewhere in the middle. They’ve pushed the lines of “tactical” looking airguns and I’ve got a couple here in the shop that I’m having a lot of fun shooting. Let’s start with the Max ML Bullpup in .357. Watch your cheek… […]

Big Bore Airguns – Part 1
I’ve been avoiding big bore airguns for the past several years. If I’m going to be honest, I never really understood the purpose. They were big, heavy, loud, used a lot of air, and generally had limited range. Now that more and more states are recognizing big bore airguns as suitable for hunting large game, […]
