My Airgun "Quiver" .......very long thread & lots of pictures....& Videos

I'm curious about why almost all of these weapons have scopes. I have always shunned scopes in favor of iron sights, except for starlight scopes.

Scopes allow you to aim smaller.

Cause They are Manny's Guns.....and that's the way He wanted them....... ..... .....

When I am shooting high speed Metallic Projectiles at small targets....I  would opt for a scoped Rifle.....over a wounded target any day......a Mynah Bird is a pretty small and hyper little Target to hit.....plus I am sure that living on a small Island in the Pacific.....people frown at bullets just flying around aimlessly untill they hit something or just run out of energy....JMO

totally agree that open sight are more soulfull, If I could hit a dime from 35 yards with open sight I surely would go that way, ...since I can't I take a scope

airguns don't have exactly the greatest knock down power, pinpoint precision is more the name of the game 

...also if you look carefully, the majority of my guns don't even have open sights 




O.K. next one up is open sights



....ho yeah, I doubt I could have had this 50 yards hit open sights

Benjamin   Super Streak .22 cal

This powerfull break barrel springer is just about at the top of the spectrum for magnum .22 spring powered airifles

It shoots the Discovery 14.3gr Hollowpoint in the mid 900s fps

This is a really phisically heavy rifle, cocking action is very light considering the power, it has a wicked recoil making it really hold sensitive, to get any kind of accuracy with this rifle the artillery hold is a must, otherwise you'll be spaying pellets everywhere, but if you do your part right the rifle is as accurate as needed.

the recoil/side to side twang is so mean that it killed the 1st scope, and the next 2 wouldn't keep zero, so I decided to go open sights  ( not much of a choice there  )

Damn Manny....hell of a hole in that Mongoose.....what caliber was that one?

[NOMADIC PIRATE]

.457

Best damn BJ ever made...only way it'd be better is if it were underlever/sidelever...then I'd own one.

wait untill the next one Mac 

Aero, try the Crosman Domed or Hollowpoint like the ones in the picture,...yeah pointed aren't the best

Benjamin  TRAIL NP XL  .22


This is the nitro piston version of the Super Streak, again we are at the top of the spectrum for power here.

The big advantage of the nitro piston is that unlike the springers it can be left cocked all day ( big advantage hunting)

This gun has a shrouded barrel too, making it very, very quite, all you can hear is the pellet hitting home 

The gun still has a lot of recoil, but is more a predicteble back and forth (rather than back forth side to side like springers)  it's still hold sensitive so again artillery hold is a must.

I put an aftermarket match grade trigger on from Charlie da Tuna, and now this gun is just fantastic !!!

It comes with Weaver/Piccanity railing


Shooting the JSB 18.1gr Domed at just shy of 900 fps giving about 25-26 FPE, that's real good hunting energy.


The combination of power, quietness, and being able to keep it cocked make this a great hunting rifle.

EVANIX   Rebel   .22

We now enter into a totally different real of airgunning, PCP, or Precharged Pneumatics  have a chamber that is filled with high pressure air, this type of rifles can acieve much more power than the pump or spring ones, on top of that they are pretty much recoiless making them much, much more accurate to shoot.

This powerfull Korean gun comes out of the box tuned very high allready, I sent this one out to get supercharged and now I get a wopping 900+ fps with the 18.2gr Crow Magnums Hollowpoint, this is very good hunting energy out of a pistol ( this was actually the take down version that I reshaped the stock)

this gun is a 6 shot revolver with single and double action, I get a good 12 shots at full power from one charge.
