Active rimfire / airgun forum?

[michael_aos]

Anyone know of a good active rimfire / airgun forum? Actually more interested in airgun stuff. Specifically higher-end PCP's.

I poked around a little this morning, but the ones I found didn't have a lot of recent activity.

I've been thinking about a new air-rifle. I found a couple candidates, but I'd like to hear from real people (as opposed to reading marketing hype) before I spend any money.

Specifically thinking:

PCP (I've not been very happy with CO2)
Repeater (at last 2-shots). Bolt-action preferred
Adjustable power
.22 caliber
Threaded barrel or barrel that could be threaded is a big plus
Integrally suppressed is a plus
Scope-friendly
manometer preferred
shorter barrel preferred

Been looking at this Ranchero Carbine, but I'm sure there are a lot of others I've not seen yet.

I don't believe you will find a truly 'active' rimfire or airgun forum, but here's something to go off of. I'm a member at Gunsnet as well with the same handle as here:

What's the price range on something like that ?

Rimfire Central (http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/) is pretty active. They have some airgun forums there; dunno how active.

I found this RWS 850 site (http://www.network54.com/Index/84463) last night.

I ordered the parts ($115.95) to convert my RWS 850 from CO2 to PCP.

If that goes well, I'm going to look into having the barrel chopped a little and threaded.

I was never happy with the height of the scope on my Career 707 Carbine .22.

I finally had the ~11mm rail replaced with a Weaver mount originally marketed for a Ruger 10/22.

I need to buy some low Weaver-style rings though. My existing Picatinny rings aren't compatible.
