| Hobby binfordw: Sir; the hobby 'air/BB' has come a long long way for those of us that can remember $9.99 BB guns. Until recently; someone telling me about $200.00-$1,000 for an Air Rifle; I'd have just moseyed on. Him gotta be "crazy" Saw about the Air Rifle craze on TV and decided to research; I just didn't have any idea of the speed, accuracy, durability, and COST. Air Gun folks are serious about there hobbies. WOW

| nice photo's what type of sight do you have on your R-7? at present i have a bug blaster on mine. i just took delivery of a biakal mp513m in .22cal. what a beast typical russian, functional, overbuilt, and easy to operate. nice hammer forged barrel, the trigger needs some work, it takes 46lbs to cock it but it can put 2 shots in the same hole at 50'. my r-7 is a dream to shoot compaired to it. |

| Its a Aperature sight for the Weilrauch rifles, heres a link to the one I'm using Aperature Sight Its not as precise as a scope, but, works very well. I'm still itching to pick up another Hawke for the R-7, but I do enjoy the Aperature sight. Quote:
They can get pretty expensive, but for what ever reason I've just become hooked on them. They really don't do anything "better" than a rimfire, except for the lower noise and more legal places to shoot perhaps. What the do for me though, is make small game hunting fun again, which is what its all about anyway. Last edited by binfordw; 02-17-2008 at 06:44 PM. Reason: Automerged Doublepost | |

| Bugbuster scope 29er Savoy, You wrote that you have beenusing a Bugbuster scope. How do you like it? I just bought a second-hand RWS 48, and I am thinking about replacing the RWS 4x32 scope on it with a Bugbuster. I am looking for a short-enough scope with parallax ajustment, and the Bugbuster seems to be a good fit if it is clear and consistent. Please tell me how you like yours - good and bad. SL11 |

| i like mine a lot although for shooting on an indoor range i don't use the illuminated reticle. it does focus at 3 yards and holds its zero. mine is the bug blaster gen 2 6x32 i have it on my R-7. i plan on ordering another for my mp513. i used the "air force" see thru high mounts i like them because they have a threaded recoil stop screw in one of the mounts. on a 1 to 10 scale i'd rate the bug blaster a 9. i got mine from pyramyd air. |

| exactly binfordw: Sir; that is exactly why I went to the handgun side. Sir; the accomplishments Each of us have differences, and Lord thank you very much.My adventure whether it dear, hog, dog, rabbit, squirrel; just to see how close that I can get. Sneaking up to within 10yds; knowing you have the shot whether you take it or not. And those times I have sat or laid on the ground laughing at my dumb self for having too much fun.  I enjoy reading and trying to see others stories through their eyes and sometimes making up a little of it on my own. I'm still learning and thanks

Sounds like you have alot of reading up to do my friend ! I wouldn't own an airgun that could actually shoot , or claimed to shoot at 1,200 fps or higher. Theres far more important aspects than what numbers you can get a chrony to read. | |
