After literally weeks of calm winds, we finally got a breezy day today, so I took the opportunity to test the Calypso outside along with my Kestrel. Using its mounting point, I attached the Calypso to a tripod and extended the legs and mast so that the Calypso was sitting at nearly the same...

@Coyote Shadow Tracker : I also have a Gen III Razor on order and would really like to know if the newer scopes have incorporated the turret improvements. Will be watching for your post-range review...

Hmmmm... It's been six days since I got my "tracking number," but there's been no movement. Sorry; looks like it was a false alarm. Guess that we'll all have to wait until September after all...

Surprise! The pre-ordered books are starting to ship already from the Science of Accuracy store. My tracking number arrived on Thursday afternoon...

The Calypso Mini Wind Meter ( https://calypsoinstruments.com/shop/product/cmi1022-ultrasonic-portable-mini-wind-meter-73?category=1# ) is a tiny device that claims to measure wind speed and direction to high accuracy. See the link for all the technical details. At 1.69" in diameter and 1.85"...

See @Netz post above...

I believe the new book will not be available until September 2022. The LabRadar sales site is offering to notify when it is available (shows "Sold Out," but click on the icon anyway): https://buymylabradar.com/collections/labradar-products Also note the Calypso ballistic wind meter...! Note...

Nice to see you back Kirby and thank you again for the knowledge and advice that you have shared with me in the past. You're a credit to this forum! Have you ever considered building an autoloading 50BMG?

As you point out, optics testing is complicated and, in practice, tedious. As narrow as it was, it's apparent to me that the OP went to a fair amount of trouble to perform this test and report results, and I'm grateful to him for doing it for this forum...

Agreed. I've never regreted spending the $$$ for my 527...

As the OP on Hide said, I'm not at all surprised by how well ZCO scored. The 527 is amazing. I admit to being kind of surprised at how well the new Vortex Razor HD Gen III did and I'm puzzled about Tangent Theta's score. As mentioned in one of the posts above, there's more to this than just...

I've managed about the same; somewhat over 1/2 inch at 25 yards. FX with Exact 16 gr pellets at about 915FPS.

One more obvious thought: You should also try posting a WTB ad at your local range or your shooting club...

There are not a whole lot of "airgun" stores, local or otherwise. Regular firearms shops and sites are finally picking up on the growing popularity of airguns and it's becoming more and more common to find a smattering of airgun brands in these places. As is the case with high end and...

I'm a little surprised that no one's mentioned the GD-OTS / Lone Star bullpup. If I was interested in buying one of these guns, that's the one I'd choose.
