Head to Head: Benjamin Bulldog vs Hatsan Hercules
The .357 caliber is a key contributor to the big bore class of airguns. Heavy enough to pack a punch but light enough to fly flat. Surprisingly there still aren’t a lot of airguns that use this caliber of barrel, but we suspect that will change quickly in the coming years. With that said let’s […]

Head to Head: Crosman Challenger vs. AirForce Edge
When it comes to our Head to Head comparisons we usually have some hands on experience with the guns we choose beforehand that helps us when pitting the two guns against each other. But for this Head to Head things are a little different. With the Olympics in full swing, competition air rifles have been […]

Trigger Control
When it comes to accuracy, fundamentals are essential. Whether it’s a pistol or a rifle, the basics are the same: sight alignment, breath control, and trigger control. Of course it sounds so simple but we all know that mastering just those three basic principals can take a lifetime of practice. Though none of the essential […]

Olympic Shooting Sport Schedule
The Olympic opening ceremonies are tonight (August 6th) which also means quite a few shooting sports will be taking place at the world level in Rio during the next two weeks, a few of them including airguns! While we wouldn’t say that they will take center stage at the Olympics, and even taking a side […]

The Art of Breathing
As anyone familiar with shooting knows, it’s easy to understand the effect that your lungs have on accuracy. Simply hold your rifle or pistol pointed at a target and take exaggerated breaths if you want to see the importance of the art of breathing. You’ll notice how your sights move above and below your target […]

Head to Head: Smith & Wesson M&P 40 Blowback vs. ISSC M-22
Today we are matching up two CO2 blowback pistols that are fairly new to the market and that are designed with training in mind. These guns give you the look and feel of their powder burning counterparts, but is one inherently better than the other? Let’s throw them in the ring and find out! In […]

Head to Head: Beretta CX4 Storm vs. Sig Sauer MCX
Semi-auto CO2 plinkers are some of our favorite airguns. Always ready for some quick plinking indoors or out, plus the fast action and close resemblance to their powder burner counterparts make them a great way to keep skills sharp at fraction of the price of going to the range. But what difference is there, if […]

Review: New JSB Hunting Pellets
It’s no secret that around here at Airgun Depot we are fans of JSB pellets. Truth be told, why wouldn’t we be? We have had some great results running JSB ammunition in just about every gun that we have tested. JSB is a brand that most airgunners have come to trust when it comes to […]

Head to Head: QB78 Deluxe vs Sheridan 2260MB
Now that winter is behind us, and the warmth, sights, and smell of spring is in the air, we thought we’d pit two of our favorite CO2 plinkers. Call it the Super Flyweight CO2 Rifle Division. Both of these single shot CO2 rifles are known for their accuracy, simple reliability, and for having a plethora […]

Hatsan Model 135 Big Bore Break Barrel
For the last two years it seems that the motto of much of the airgun world has been “Bigger means better”, with so many new big bore guns it seems that everyone is rushing to get a gun in .30 caliber or greater to market. Sure the idea of the big bore air rifle is […]
