Hiya Steve, Great video, thank you. As a newbie to all things air-rifle, this is a series I'd been hoping for someone to produce, to explain in words and terminology I can understand exactly what the sport is all about. Stay safe, Steve...

Steve, many thanks for taking the time to help us newbies. You are a great inspiration, and provide excellent, clear information. Not sure if you have covered maintenance in your series but I am sure this would be very helpful and informative.

Maintenance is on my list to do as it would be a great video for new comers to the sport.

Thank you - Im new to the sport though a long time clay shooter. Your advice has been really helpful. If you would talk about cheaper rifles for starters it would help - im looking sub 100
@airgunology7 жыл бұрын
Thank you. You will struggle to find a decent rifle for sub 100 notes unless it is a cheap 2nd hand. If I get hold of any, I will most definitely do so.

Great info Steve. You forget to say that the shorter barrel rifles are called carbines.

Hi Steve just enquiring about fitting a bypod on a brake barrel air rifle. I seen videos on the " artillery hold" to increase the accuracy of a springer in which you hold your rifle with as little grip as possible. Now my thoughts are if that's the case a bypod would be counter productive, would this be true. Hope to hear from you soon Phil
@airgunology6 жыл бұрын
Phil, Bipods are generally a no go on springers as they stop the rifle from recoiling / moving and so your assumptions are correct.

Can you make clear of the recoil of the scope on Springer? As I hear that some scopes can be damaged (through the sudden smack of the release of the spring, damaging the optics) if not compatible with Springer!
@airgunology7 жыл бұрын
Yes if you scope a springer, you need to check with the maker to ensure it is certified for springers so as not to damage the scope or have it move due to the violent recoil in some springers

Hi great episodes. What would you think is best for a 1st but .177 or .22? I'm going to start a combo of range target shooting and a little hunting.
@airgunology7 жыл бұрын
HW's or BSA's. Join some facebook groups or forums and ask around. Try to spend a decent amount and stay away from really cheap rifles.

excellent video steve , .. could I please add too the scope part of the review , make sure the bolts on the dovetail tightened quite tight , no need for a 2ft tommy bar , just a good old " pinch up " .. the actual scope tube not so much , just a tight : nip up " but still secure .. this is important when setting up , as I found out too my detriment last year when sighting my Hawke SR Pro in .. also .. if you want too ( allowed ? ) recommend a moderator , weirauch are in my opinion are at the top of the tree .. yes ( the ones I have ) are dull and plain , a bit like id imagine the queens underwear selection would be like ... ( dunno if weirauch do a carbon moderator ) ... keep up the good work dood , think I might have an hour on me range now ... before mrs gets home from work ...

Quickest way to stuff your seals up is to fire a rifle without any resistance, eg, loaded.
@airgunology6 жыл бұрын
For springers yes, will damage the spring, for PCP no. no risk at all as long as the cocking bolt / lever is closed.
@thepvporg6 жыл бұрын
@@airgunology Are you sure that rule applies to all PCP?
@airgunology6 жыл бұрын
yes if they are standard PCP as only air being fired and no moving mechisms. As long as the rifle has the cocking handle closed, it is safe to dry fire them. All manufacturers do it all of the time when demoing and none have told me otherwise.
