Wednesday was a beautiful day this week. The wind was under 20 mph for a change and the local range was open to the public from 8AM until Noon. While I’m a member and have the combination to the gate, I like to go during “open to the public” times. You never know who you […]
The Hatsan 85 Sniper Vortex – Part 1
I’m still in a giant holding pattern as I wait for the weather to cooperate here in Lake Havasu. I want to get the AT 44 QE and the Synthetic Marauder out to the range for some head to head tests, but with 30+ MPH winds that’s just not practical. So, in the meantime I’ll […]
Gamo G2 Whisper .22 Caliber – Field Trials
The weather cooperated with me and I took the G2 Whisper out to test the data that ChairGunPro provided in the previous article. The hypothesis is, that by optimizing the scope zero, I should be able to aim dead center on a 1″ kill zone and drop a target that’s say 10 yards to 35 […]
Do you like to “Go Big or Go Home?”
So I’m in the middle of Part 2 of my tests with the new Gamo Whisper G2 and I get a phone call. Time passes and now I’ve got the topic for my next article, i.e. this one. Shooting the G2 has actually been a good diversion from the PCPs and the big springers that […]
Is it me or is it my gun?
Alright everyone. Get your steeled toe boots on, this one might sting a little. More and more rimfire and center fire folks are finding out what we airgunners have known for years. Shooting airguns is a lot of fun and it’s great practice for next time you pull the trigger on your powder burner. But, […]
FPS or FPE what’s the difference?
First of all, please forgive me if over the course of time, I tend to repeat myself here and there. When writing over 100 articles per year for this blog, it’s bound to happen! Also, there are going to be topics that simply warrant repetition, and this, in my opinion, is certainly one of them. […]

What do Airguns and Bio Hazards have in common?
I’ll give you all 3 guesses what this picture is and the first 2 don’t count. If you guessed a neat .22 cal hole in my garage ceiling you’d be correct. Let me tell you a short and hopefully humorous but important story. It’s not if, it’s when… There was a guy that I […]

Help Plant a Tree
You may already know this by now, but the team here at Airgun Depot enjoy giving back in many ways. In the past we’ve donated products to lift the spirits of some who were struggling, to a few deserving veterans and now we’re at it again. This Arbor Day weekend (April 25-27), we’ll be donating 10% of all net profits […]

Benjamin Marauder – Part 2 – Getting ready for the “big fight”
If I’m going to talk about the difficulties that I’ve had getting my AT44 QE up and ready for the showdown against my Benjamin Marauder, then it’s only fair to talk about what it’s taken to get my Marauder up to snuff as well. Where’s the air…? The Achilles heel of any PCP, or at […]
Hatsan AT44 QE .22 Caliber – Part 3
It was range day yesterday with my Hatsan AT 44 QE .22 caliber. I was pretty excited to get out and see how it was going to perform. The first thing I tested was DB levels in a wide open area as compared to an original AT44 .22 cal. The standard AT44 was tipping the […]
