There very popular down here and cheaper than all the firearms mentioned, you can purchase a Howa with a varmit barrel and boyds thumbhole stock for around $100 more than your standard Ruger American or Savage axis.Which sucks as I have a Weatherby with a Howa action and I'd say it's receiver is more bomb proof than the Remington, Savage, and Ruger.
Anyone here has experience with air guns?
Any comment on the Beeman p1?
Honestly, I just have a lens pen and those "Spuds" wipes from Cabela's. Pretty sure the overwhelming majority are made in the same factory, with different logos applied.What scope lens cleaning kits, pens or brushes do you guys use?
Right now I have a small S&B branded Lens Pen cleaning kit. I'm looking for a larger brush.
What are you using it for.
I have experience with the Benjamin NP2, NP XL and Marauder.
Also with the Umerax Octane.
I like the Benjamin's more.

Edit, didn't realise this was a pistol. No experience with quality air pistols.

Don't wanna create a thread for this, but maybe some people here could help me out
My 65 year old father is very interested in getting a handgun in light of all this ban talk (Minnesota just had a bill proposed that classified any gun with a changeable 10+ round magazine an assault weapon and would be illegal to buy, and it included pistols in that. So basically every non revolver handgun aside from maybe stripper guns like a M&P bodyguard 380). He's a moderate hunter, knows plenty how to shoot rifles, shotguns, bows, etc. but never a pistol unless he did some way back in his 4 years in the Navy to my knowledge
Looking to keep it under 400, he'd like to be able to conceal carry it after the MN class (he's a bigger guy, wouldn't have to be a sub compact just not a full service pistol) and I'm partial to 9mm for that sized handgun and easily steered him to look there for one. I have a Ruger SR9c I really like, but he didn't like the grip in his hand which is completely fine and personal preference and feel is highly important in my opinion for a handgun beyond just what reviews say.
Any 9mm ~3.3-4" barel length handguns for 400ish or under you'd recommend and could quote or message a reply? Plenty options for this exact thing come up via google, but I'd like to hear from a sherbro with experience with one. At a local gun shop, he said he liked the feel of a 9mm Tauros that was $300 some. Of course he doesn't remember which model it was...
I have that exact same bino harness. I really like it. It's holds my 10x50 Vortex binoculars perfectly. I use the front pocket for my range finder, one side pocket for a wind checker, and the other has some lens wipes, a battery or two for my range finder, and the lens caps. I wear mine even when sitting in a tree stand. No more dropping my binos, and having them make my neck ache.Looks like I'm in a spendy mood. Just ordered a Kifaru day pack and Alaska Guide Creations bino harness.
I think a Taurus Millenium GT2 would fit the bill well. I have shot one a lot and have never had an issue related to the gun itself. I've seen plenty of Canik's for that price, but I think they may have a longer barrel than you want. You may be able to find a used Glock 43 for that price. I heard good things about the Ruger LC9. The smith and wesson shield is a good gun to that I've seen in the $400 range. I would take him to the store and have him hold and preferably fire those guns and see which one he likes best.Don't wanna create a thread for this, but maybe some people here could help me out

Plinking, target shooting, open sights.
I have an old Benjamin air pump rifle, used for the same, fun to shoot.
Random fact, know any open sights that fits an old "Benjamin Franklin" 22 pellet air pump rifle?
Yeah, I ran the elastic "bra" for a few seasons, which I didn't actually mind much, but to be honest, I'm a bit of a pack rat. I've never went out without either my rangefinder or binoculars, but I do like the idea of a bino harness that lets me carry a bunch of shit together.I have that exact same bino harness.

I personally wouldn't recommend sacrificing budget on a carry/HD gun. Get something quality. If you may depend on something to save your life or anothers, you don't imo want to think, oh I can save $50-100 on this.
Anyway, first one meets the parameters and the last 2 are a bit over $400. Side note, don't get an XD, a lot of reviewers and instructors frequently run into issues with them.
So I guess go to a store and have him handle these. Look for a gen 4 glock to hold as you probably won't find a 3 to hold(unless it's used).

@Gregolian
Not gonna lie, one of the reasons why I want to take hunting more seriously this year is because of Far Cry 5.
Want a 19x for no good reason....
