If it works for you, don’t change it. Don’t get me wrong though. I’d love a Swarovski or a Schmidt & Bender, but a Nikko Stirling or a Leapers have served me very well. The reason for many of these high priced optics is that eventually, someone is going to be trusting their lives to them. Those people need the high…Read more

I’ve never seen a pellet through my scope. I have seen bullet trace at longer distances. Is that what I should be watching for? Or do you see the actual pellet?

They only good I could wrangle out of them was that the buttstock airtank will be sold separately as well, and is still not regulated.

Should make your estimation faster.

It all happens because the effect of gravity is based on the horizontal distance the projectile travels, not the angled hypotenuse of the triangle formed between you and the target.

Some ballistics programs will help you get a feel for it, but if you’re in…Read more

I always believe they should be available for use in case the optic goes down (red dots lose battery, glass gets cracked), but then again, I don’t expect my airguns to be like my powder burners, so I’m OK with just a scope on my TSS.

That said, that is one sweet peep there Rowdy.

Even if you’re a pro 10 meter competitor, the iron sights have a lot to be desired. I think you really need a peep sight anyway.

I’m curious though, how does the trigger feel? Maybe I’m not looking at it right, but it looks like it rolls more than it breaks. Does it take getting used to?

Still running my Talon SS/24″ and a TX200, but it’s been a while since I’ve gotten them out and shooting, since I’m in an apartment and have no land 🙁

Powder wise I’m running a Remington 700 .30-06 and a DPMS 5.56 AR-15.

So now I gotta start digging through the site and see what’s new in the Talon world!

You still around CT these days? We should go find some place to go shooting. I ended up buying a couple of powder burners, but ammo is so damn expensive since Uncle Sam is buying all of it. It’d be nice to get back to some air power and cheap ammo!
