Beware the man with just one rifle.

No argument from me. My common sense reasoning of NE PA woods and maybe occasional 1000 yard field. Nothing more dangerous than Black Bear or occasional Mountain Lion, Buck In rut. I’m here to read the stories, the knowledge even though I’m not much interested in anything other than factory...

OP’s exact question is best under $400. Best at what. I personally love old refurbished Weavers and new, Bushnell, anything with Japanese optics. I had a dealer of Sightron tell me I must never have looked through a top tier scope. Yeah I have and I don’t think they’re worth the cost for the...

I have a fixed 16 SWFA SS 1/10 mil quad hollow diamond reticle 30mm with FX No Limit rings. It’s 100% tracking & easy over 200moa adjustable with those rings. I got in a trade and guy camo painted it well. I like the hollow diamond reticle but I prefer to shoot on 10x at most and many times...

Midway just had MSRP Bushnell Forge over $900 for $399. Don’t know if any are left.

I’m a firm believer in hand lapped barrels & most definitely from a clean bore if testing for initial best round about weight/ speed, load, bullet type, brands. If you guys worry about hard rifle barrel steel think of my fears with comparably soft LW, BSA, Daystate, PAC-NOR, Benchmark or anyone...

150 grain Federal .30-30 Corelock 293 yards. Hit right rear quarter & stopped under skin left side front shoulder. Estimated 32” of drop. Regular PA Whitetail.

I believe in placement over power. As an Archer & airgun Hunter I see placement work great. I’ll never be hunting a Kodiak Brown Bear with my old Fred Bear either though, so I’d personally want a monstrous lever action, Weatherby, or H&H round if I were to. I simply don’t like Bear meat & not...

I’d just learn trajectory for that one rig and judging distances out to maximum range I’d take game. I never used Strelok, ChairGun or any app before phones & here’s a picture of a Deer at almost 300 yards with a .30-30

I won’t deal with AOA because they’re importing full auto .357’s that spit 81 grain pellets. Suppressed. They are going to get air guns regulated to 12ftlbs or less like UK, Ireland, Scotland. I don’t know who told you you need to spend so much to have a good spring gun. I can get you tuned...

I’ve spent a lot on air guns. I still love tuned spring guns but quiet, accurate & easy to master? I’d say Marauder Gen 2 .22 with a fine reticle scope. My modified Discoveries I have over $400 into, were $260 new & I doubt I’d get $200 now as guys want multi shot, sidelever & regulated. Do NOT...

I’ll take that challenge & film once I get my .257 or 6mm Scandalous or Pac-Nor barreled .257 Texan w/ full custom stripper/shroud. That’ll have a BC between .193 & .212 for 65RBT to 95 grain Already hit Coke cans at 300 with 31.9 RBT .25’s @ 940fps and BC of 0.0763 That’s 7.7 mils on 4x and...

Being on a tuned HW you’ll still need a spring gun rated scope if you want it to last. Hawke is about my favorite air gun scope, specifically the Airmax with AMX reticle in any of the 3 configurations. 2x7, 3x9, 4x12 but truth be told I shot my EDgun Supermagnum .25 at 316 yards with my 4x12 on...

Always looking to buy old Weaver fine reticle scopes. Especially KV 2.75x5x. Positive click.
