The chinese ones are a crap shoot. More crap than shoot.
I have done one .20 cal. I haven't done a .25 yet.
Deans got 300 shots at 7 ft' lbs. The normal gun gets 125 shots from the
same amount of gas at around 10 ft. lbs.
The .22 is yielding over 12 ft. lbs. The system is considerably more
effiecient in the bigger caliber.
Sorry. Can't do it. I'm working on a plan to fix that tho. Stay tuned.
The CO2 guns getting over 15 ft. lbs. are very rare indeed.
I don't do any wood. We'de have to sub that to someone with that

Jun Sy,
I found your remarks on the use of airguns and firearms ownership very
interesting and illuminating.
We received all of our information regarding airguns and firearms in the
Philippines from Dave Schwesinger, who was born and raised there and
regularly returns to that country because of his contracts with
Philippine airgun manufacturers.
Perhaps the ease of firearms availability and the use of the Farco is as
regionalized in the Philippines as it is in the various states in the US,
thereby partially explaining the difference in his experiences and yours.
Or perhaps the ease of individual firearms ownership seems so contrived
to someone coming from the US that it only has the appearance of making
it virtually impossible for ordinary citizens to own them.
Of course, we could have received outdated or incorrect information, too.
I'll mention your comments to Dave the next time I speak with him -
otherwise misinformation will continue to be passed on to others.
In any case, I appreciate the information and the perspective of someone
inside the country.

Keith, not all sportsmatch mounts are parallel, unless maybe they keep
the parallel ones in UK and sell the mistakes to Beeman. There are some
mismatched Beeman/Sportsmatch mounts which change POA if you switch them
front to rear.
Burris signature mounts intended for 3/8 dovetail (US standard for .22RF
and airguns) have interchangeable plastic inserts with various offsets,
and would be excellent for adjusting scope angle on PCP airguns, but I'm
not sure if they are suitable for springers. For details, see:

The only airguns capable of propelling pellets over 1000 fps with accuracy
are the precharged pneumatics. The 52 will shoot light pellets over 1000
fps, but it will spray them all over the place and quickly destroy the
spring.
The current stock of importers, beginning with Beeman, are responsible for
this infatuation with "1000fps" air rifles. Energy and accuracy are what's
important- not some arbitrary number. Most .177 pellets are most accurate at
between 12 and 18 foot-pounds of energy. All pellets are most stable at
speeds under 1100fps- and are better at 900fps or less. Most of the energy
applied to a pellet to push it faster quickly is eaten up by aerodynamic
drag. Better to shoot heavier pellets more slowly.
The 52 can send a 7.9gr pellet at close to 900fps reliably and accurately.
There are many. The Weirauch HW80, aka Beeman R1, will do it more reliably,
has a better trigger and better spring life. The BSA Superstar will come
close, and is more accurate. The 52 has a lot of potential, but as it comes
out of the box it's rough. Tuning produces excellent results. But what's
your intended application?
Then you'd be wise to listen to them ;-)

I wanted a pellet gun that would be deadly on varmints at long distances
and that would be good for target shooting at 100 yards. Actually, I
probably have some unrealistic dreams for the RWS. I have had many
different brands of pellet guns before but none of them were capable of
the velocities that the RWS 52 and others of its type are. I keep
favoring the RWS 52 because of it's velocities and the fact that you can
get a factory demo from Airgun Express that has been refurbished and
comes with the same guarantee as a new rifle for $125. Are my
expectations for the RWS too untangable or will it have the range and
knockdown power I expect? Do you know what the maximum range in yards is
for the 52? I would really appreciate any suggestions you might have for
helping me select the rifle to suit my needs. I also do a lot of prarie
dog shooting. What is the max range  I can expect to hit them at? Where
can I find dealers of the other good quality pellet rifles? Thank all of
you for your suggestions and help.  -Ryan

Agree 100% The bulk extension acts much like a set of barrel weights and
elps
to hold the  muzzle steady.
Just got delivery of my 5 pound CO2 tank. Pretty neat, the local fire
extinquisher shop, ABC Fire Extinquisher, makes regular runs near my house
nd
they have agreed to pick up and deliver my tank at no extra charge. FYI for
those thinking about this route the cost for charging a 5 pound CO2 tank here
is $13. I believe most of that is the service charge. The CO2 price is
probably $2 or 3 dollars of that. I like the 5 pound tanks because they are
easy to handle and don't require a syphon tube. With larger tanks you need to
have a syphon tube installed or the tank has to be inverted. I have seen
pictures of large tanks sitting in a wire frame support holding the tank
upside down, so it can be done.
