I have also heard that the Noise Dampeners dont really work is that why you want to get it. If you are willing to spend about $300, you may want to spent a little more and get a PCP like the Benjamin Discovery.   Posted: Tue Aug 16, 2011 6:42 pm matt9589 New Member Joined: 16 Aug 2011 Posts: 3 Location: pittburgh, PA really! didnt know that. I'm looking for a break barrel. doesnt need to be silenced, just cant be to loud. I shoot the sparrows, crows, and squirels of my feeders. most shots i take are within 30yards. I already have a scope. Price isnt an issue just cant exeed $350 _________________ Save a pitbull, save a life   Posted: Wed Aug 17, 2011 9:35 am Jr. Squirreler Veteran Member Joined: 12 Dec 2010 Posts: 419 Location: New York There are a lot of Air Rifles that are really accurate to about 30 Yards. There is no need to spend $300 on a Break Barrel like that. You could just get somethne like the Crosman Phantom. However if you are looking for a Nitro Piston, you should look at the Crosman Nitro Venom Dusk .177 ($200) Buy a nice scope, and still have money left over for pellets. (Preferably the Crosman Premier Ultra Magnums 10.5 Grain) Re: need help choosing   Posted: Wed Aug 17, 2011 10:15 am Dukemeister Member Joined: 08 Feb 2010 Posts: 92 Location: Ontario, Canada matt9589 wrote: The spring in my Remngton vantage 1200 decided to break on me. so, its time to Get a new air rifle.

Why don't you replace the spring in the Vantage? cant figure out how to do it....... _________________ Save a pitbull, save a life Here is a guide   Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2011 1:34 pm Dukemeister Member Joined: 08 Feb 2010 Posts: 92 Location: Ontario, Canada You can follow the guide in this thread. I believe the Vantage and Phantom/Quest are the same B18/19 platform. http://under500fps.myfastforum.org/archive/phantom-500-.22-model-cs5m22-and-quest-500-.177__o_t__t_582.html There are 4 videos at the end that show the process step by step. You can do polish and lube at the same time you replace the spring and you should replace the piston seal at the same time. When re- installing the piston, be extra careful to ease the edges past the cutouts so you don`t damage the seal. You can restore your Vantage for very little $ . If you`re not up to it, you can send it somewhere for repair and tune. Of course if you are just wanting a new one... go get yourself one _________________ Duke ))))----//----------== need help choosing     Air Gun Home Forum Index » Rifles You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
