Gary ... it is good to hear from you ... fortunately, if you read all of the comments, you will find that you arent the first to bring my unsafe handling of an air rifle to this video below... At the same time... the distraction of being in front of a camera ... and trying to remember everything I wanted to say ... overcame my focus on safety... Dr. Russ
Was there any hunting tip that you found helpful in this video... Dr. Russ
hello. Dr. Russ first off i want to thank you for such great videos, i my self am a 100 % military connected disabled veteran during peace time, anyways i just started getting into break barrels and pcp air rifles, mainly to hunt coyotes in Florida and to protect my little buddy Rocco which he is a very small dog, the area i live in is urban and we have a lake near by down the street from me, where coyotes are know to be at, as a friend of mine with the Pinellas county sheriffs office has told me about the coyote droppings he has seen when he takes his dog to the lake, this is a small concern with me, as i stated the size of my dog as well as i am disabled, so i have done a lot of research on coyotes as well as talked to the guy that lives next door to me and he is Mexican and told me that coyotes are in fact very deadly and being they are near a urban area makes it a concern for me, now i have been looking at break barrels and pcp air rifles to deal with a coyote if need be more then likely in my backyard, so short to long range and i would like to be able for the rifle to be muti-shot and i was thinking a laser sight would be better for very easy on target, but what would you recommend for what type of rifle and caliber, scope or laser ? for small game to medium game like coyotes, thank you !!
Stan121 midling ... It is good to hear from you and thank you for your service ... I am a disabled Vet too.... First of all, I believe your small dog is in danger too ... particularly once those Coyotes aren't able to get all of the food they want from the natural environment that they are in... Hopefully it is not to late ... but once you hear that there are missing cats and dogs in your area ... then I would be on heightened alert ... and any natural environment has cycles in their food sources ... so that day will come. Second ... your best defense is to go outside with your small dog each time you let it out ... that is the easiest defense. Coyotes have to be in a pack (they typically are not) or rabid to attack a human ... and will attack children and small women first.... Second, consider some poisoned dog food (rat poison with dog food) in a bowl far back where your dog is not allowed to go (or neighbor's dogs too) will be a second choice ... and third would be a rifle ... which requires practice and most of all ... you being ready to shoot at that right moment when a coyote shows up and gives you a nice shot. Lasers have to be sighted in during early morning or late evenings when they show up ... and you would have to continually check that their battery is still good. Not knowing your backyard ... open sights or a scope would also be effective. Minimum caliber is 22 which is more likely to chase a coyote away ... where a 25 caliber to the head would be second ... and a larger caliber anywhere would be third. Other coyotes will probably turn on a bleeding coyote. Click on the circle of my photo in any of our videos to see our entire channel of videos (35 to date) and watch the one on "Accuracy" ... another on "Woodchucks" ... another two on "Trapping"... Only a few break barrel air guns are available in 25 caliber ... Benjamin makes one ... Hatsan too ... and there are others.... Keep us in your loop of coyote and air gun experiences ... as we try to keep everyone ... Air Gun Sharp ..... Dr. Russ
This was our 5th video launch... one every 2 weeks... which all began last November. We have launched 14 videos as of this week... with more already in some form of production thru the summer months... and a goal of making each better than the last... Dr. Russ
I bought this rifle because of this review. Taken so many squirrels crows and raccoons with it
Jeremy BlackWater ... it is good to hear from you ... and glad you are enjoying this Black Ops air rifle... When you can ... share some of your air gun experiences with us ... helping us help others on how to be safe ... sharp ... and silent... Dr. Russ
I got a Bear River (also Black Ops) .177 break barrel not to long ago, love it, fun to grab and shoot in the yard. It's a springer, they have 'em refurbished for $59 on the Bear River site, the price was good, had to try one out, I've enjoyed mine.
Glad to hear pilot Mountain... you cant have too many and Black Ops provides excellent value for the dollar... especially refurbished... good to hear from you again... Dr. Russ
Nice work sir.with the death of Charles from backyard plinking. You have become a go to site. The new B/O sniper just came in from over seas.seems to shoot really strong. I wish they would have kept the adjustable stock extention. The first gen model had...cheers from Monterey cal...
Julian Rodriguez ... good to hear from you ... my gen 1 in 22 caliber continues to be my strongest break barrel.... powerful....Please keep me in your loop of air gun experiences .... helping everyone stay air gun sharp... Dr. Russ
Great video
Juan ... it is good to hear from you. Please keep me in your loop of any questions ... or experiences ... or hunts that you participate in. I hope our videos continue to help you become Air Gun Sharp. If you have an opportunity ... click on the circle above with my picture ... and you will find our current channel of videos.... and I believe you will enjoy the one titled WOODCHUCKS and another concerning ... PENETRATIONS. Again, good to hear from you.... Dr. Russ
Thanks for the information dr.
Michael Moss ... good to hear from you again.... consider clicking onto the small circle with my photo and accessing our entire 40 videos.... Dr. Russ
Thank you Dr. Russ. Another very great video!I like your little tour, showing us your „Teddy bear“ along your impressive Indian Artifacts and your beautiful knife collection.
I am a proud owner of 17 caliber Black Ops Air rifle. I can use your best practice advises to improve my target practicing.
R M ... It is always good to hear from you... your Black Ops is a very powerful 177 caliber break barrel. Please be careful around your friends. Dr. Russ
One of our 2 dobermans is expecting a litter of puppies this week... we hope to share some of that experience on our next air rifle video. Dr. Russ...
Here in Norway, a person over 18 year old can buy any .17 cal air gun. Bigger bore had to be registered. I have the Crosman Mag Fire piston. To my surprise "made in China". The gun is precise with heavy pellets. But the problem is the magazine of not so good quality, and impossible to find a replacement. I have contacted Crosman, and they tell me to wait. The pandemic make production problems! I dont know what to belive, and still waiting for the big dealers to contact me when the magazines are back in stock. Irritate to have half a good magazine on a gun i like to shoot.
Thanks for a interesting channel. As an old Army NCO and competition shooter, I hate to wait for spare parts. Never had problems, before I got the Crosman!
Take the magazine to a metal fab shop. It/they won't be cheap - one or two, not mass produced, but you'll have what needed, and any changes can be made.
@@senatorjosephmccarthy2720 There are few left, and Oslo is in lock down.. But I will try to find a shop when we open again. Thanks.
Love the story about how the "teddy" bear came to be. . . awesome!
Good to hear from you Paul ...and thanks for the compliment .... Dr. Russ
Lots of interesting information, I agree more speed isn't always good. Thanks for the video.
Good to hear from you Rick... I hope that a great deal of our info becomes helpful to you. In 2 weeks... our 6th video will come out. We produced 6 initially... but are already into taping our second set of 6.. We are reviewing comments like yours in preparing our future videos .. so know that your feedback is important. I try to share an accuracy tip in each... so if you haven't subscribed... its free... consider doing that so that you dont miss any. Again ...thank you Rick. Dr. Russ
Watched that video and was amazed how good that good worked considering getting one
Good to hear from you again Michael Moss .... two good videos coming out this weekend.... Dr Russ
@@russelljones4132 be glad to watch them wonderful information and guidance being airgun sharp and great tips thanks Dr
Great video, tell Hollow Head that i said hi LOL……
Honey Bee.... I will ... good to hear from you again... Dr. Russ
I am pleasantly surprised by my Black Ops Sniper in .22, crushing 3/8" plywood with a diesel'd pellet. (I know...)
Have you taken a Benjamin Nitro Piston apart yet? (Still working through the library)
Jay Long .... it is good to hear from you and the fact that you are enjoying your Black Ops in 22 caliber. Yes, dieseling can turbocharge those pellets. I owned a Benjamin Nitro Piston XL some years ago and found it to be the most powerful break barrel at that time. Unfortunately, there was no way to change the power of it or other break barrels ... bringing the power down and therefore gaining more accuracy ... which is important to me for critters who I often shoot at 65 to 100 yards. For accuracy, I have found that dieseling even makes that goal more challenging... so a little dab of vaseline or oil is no longer part of my shooting practice. Please keep me in your loop of air gun experience... and share again. Dr. Russ
@@russelljones4132 Funny this, I just did an experiment in the range with the B.O. Sniper, dry Crosman HP 14.3's against the same with a light covering of WD40 'Silicone' lubricant, no petrol products, so there should be less/no combustion, but more slippery-do in the barrel, roughly 700Ft/s for dry, 900ish for the silicon and no pop'n sounds, my range is shorter than your inside range (And not as nicely decorated) so accuracy is to be debated (That an I need to get better optics (mmmm ATN...) and work on my breathing control) But silicon lube may have potential over other lubricants, another thought is a light coat of case-lube or beeswax (I know we use beeswax for bullet casting release agent)
@@kyootfox Thanks for the update .... consider motorcycle chain wax which is a thick greasy oil from a motorcycle store ... or bullet lube spray from a gun store... both thick oils... just a light spray onto your pellets.... you want to keep thin runny oils out of your mechanism ... just as powder gun people want the same for their guns.... consider storing barrel end down the first day or two so that any oil running might be towards the end of the barrel instead of down in to the air gun mechanism... very harmful for springers.... Dr. Russ
I've got a Black Ops .22. Nice.
Good to hear from you Gargoyle.... please keep in touch with your air gun experiences ... helping us to help everyone stay air gun sharp... Dr. Russ
I need an octagon bear room !
Metal Detroit ... there are few things you can use an octagon room for other than to display a standing grizzly bear. It is good to hear from you and I hope you keep me in your loop of any air gun experience or hunt that you participate in ... and I trust that our videos are able to keep you Air Gun Sharp. Dr. Russ
skirts can be kept round by using a dapping tool to keep the base round...
Tom Lodge ... it is good to hear from you ... and you are right ... a dappling tool saves many damaged skirts. Please stay in touch... Dr. Russ
Thank you sir
I've been considering purchasing this airgun for quite some time.
Your review has convinced me that this is the airgun for me.
Great hearing a review from another Michigander.
One question does this airgun have more recoil than some of
the others on the market?
nwchamp321 ... Yes ... slightly more recoil ... definitely get the 22 caliber versus the 117. Good to hear from you and feel free to write anytime again. I believe you will see this gun in both calibers ... shoot some clay pigeons that were suppose to explode in one of my videos ... titled" Semi and Full Auto" ... and you will see them both again in another video titled "Penetrations"...... Dr. Russ
@@russelljones4132
Thank you.
I just purchased this airgun in .22 from Pyramid Air last night.
I've seen a lot of reviews on this rifle, but yours convinced me.
Great review!
After owning this airgun, would you still recommend it?
And do you think it will hold up? How's the build quality?
Do you recommend a military hold or with some airguns you have to
hold it the same way you would a regular rifle?
Thank you for all your help.
Means a lot.
Stay safe and healthy.
Peace
Thank you very much ☝️👍👍
Roman ... it is good to hear from you ... please keep us in your air gun experiences loop .... Dr. Russ
8: 51. Hello and thanks for the tour. I like the ringing saw blade in the 2" (or so) hole.
I made a wind sock of a 4" wide strip of plastic grocery bag, painted the end red,
and an inverted J shaped pole from a sapling, mounted in a drilled wood block.
We're supposed to hold the breakbarrels under our shoulder, arm around it, hand on the barrel, when loading - If it doesn't have a "bear trap" prohibitor. Some have claimed bent barrels from snapping shut, and some fingers injuries.
I'm in the process of taking as much weight off my Seneca Aspen as can. Not easy, Seneca did a good job of it in designing - 8 pounds w/o a scope, close to 10 with scope and light. For me, that's at the top of medium weight, but lighter is going to be better. So far it's lost 1 pound 4 oz.
I carried an M60 over many a hill: 16.5 lbs, plus 300 rds, sometimes steel pot, flac jacket, water, other gear, and I weighed about 155 lbs, but I wasn't as lazy then. You know how mean those lieutenants were.
The Aspen is a fantastic design with the attached pump and very good accuracy. Oil them often.
18: 50 - , Ya, I wonder why the airgun mfgs can't buy/make quality springs - our car valve springs last millions of compressions, and set compressed for many years, yet last 200,000 miles + of working.
Commenter Five ... glad to hear from you again.... Yes the M-60 was heavy with ammo... and so was the 81 mm mortar.... with ammo.... VietCong used the 60 mm mortar and it was much lighter... I'm glad they didn't get much quality training on it. Please share your experiences so that we can help everyone stay air gun sharp. Dr. Russ
Commenter Five ... I circled back to your comment and want to thank you for some great ideas .... safety ideas with break barrels.... thank you... Dr. Russ
YOU DID NOT MENTION THE BRAND OF SCOPE YOU PURCHASED FOR THE RIFLE.
Black op rifles come with a scope and as I have said in other videos ... when an air gun comes with a scope ... it is typically an inexpensive scope ... and that was true with my two Black Ops Break Barrel rifles... black Ops 17 and the black Ops 22... so I replaced the 22 cal. Scope with a Bushnell 4 x 16 x 50 objective AOL lens... I am ticipate providing a summer video on scopes in general since I have a great deal of experience with scopes and old probably 20th in my collection... I also have plans to provide some are videos that include one of our drones pulling white powder targets through the air and a second that uses are remote control speed boat pulling targets across our pond consider subscribing so that you don't miss any of those videos... it was good to hear from you and I look forward to hearing from you again.... Dr. Russ
Any recommendation for a scope for the Black Ops .22 Dr. Russ?
I had been thinking about getting one for a while, finally pulled the trigger and ordered one.
Good.... I recommend a powerful scope with as much width in the objective lens (the far lens) as possible .... and yet stay in budget. Pyramid Air and Airgun Arizona certainly have some ... as well as your local Walmart. One new place to look is Field Supply ... then type in scope ... they should have some bargains ... including refurbished Crosman and Hatsan. Dr. Russ
@@russelljones4132 Great ! Thank you Sir.
Mine wears a 6-24x50 CVLIFE scope from Amazon
Awesome review I'm glad I did a search on your channel I've been thinking of getting this exact rifle I do have a question this would be my first break barrel and naturally I wanted something with a little punch thought about a PCP but they get expensive with all the extras you need to shoot one so I settled on the Black Ops Tactical Sniper it's in my price range has the look I was going after, I don't plan on doing any hunting at least right away Just wanted a good Rifle to get me started what's your opinion on something like this for a beginner also is it reliable I'm guessing it's a good gun otherwise you would not have one anyway any advice would be appreciated great shooting I don't expect to be that good at first but I don't mind practicing that's half the fun
Uncle Frank .... It is a great air rifle if you get it in 25 caliber... It is not in 117. The reason is that ... while it is powerful ... I had trouble ... even using heavy 17 caliber pellets to bring it down in velocity (950 or lower fps) because of its power. it was noisy ... and pellets whirled causing it not to be as accurate as I wanted it to be.... secondly, check out my video on buying refurbished air rifles and look at Hatsan 130 QE ... a break barrel which I believe is under $ 200 like the black ops ... and shoots a 30 caliber pellet at about 650 + feet a second. It is on my wish list.... Dr. Russ
@@drsrussandpaula Thanks so much for the advice and I've alredy watched the video on refurbished air rifles actually quite a while back I think I've seen just about all your videos if not I'm getting there the only problem for me getting that air rifle or anything that power is shipping I live in Illinois suburbs and they can't ship here it seems the restrictions are anything over 18 cal and above 700 fps they cant ship here but I found a loop hole my friends live in Indiana they'll ship it there then all I have to do is plan a time to visit them and pick up my air rifle it's not illegal for me to own the gun where I live it's a shipping thing over state lines so next summer when I have time and money to afford things I'll order something have it shipped to Indiana and go see my old friends do some shooting with them an bring my prize home in the mean time there's a shop near my house that has some stuff just not everything so I picked up a Gamo swarm whisper in .177 they didn't have 22 but it scratches the itch for now and gives me some experience with a break barrel
@@smokingunclefrank6037 Its good to have friends like that.... I need to make a correction on that last comment of mine.... Black Ops doesnt make a 25 caliber.... I meant to say 22 caliber... Keep us in the loop of your experience... Dr. Russ
@@drsrussandpaula Thanks yeah I know I looked to see if it came in 25 cal but couldn't find it anyway I've been researching and unless something better comes along I've settled on the Gamo swarm magnum I'll keep everyone updated
Good day, just would like to know...what is the FPE for this Black Ops rifle in. 177cal and .22cal? 😊 thanks!
Do you eat bear)?, why you kill it?
Pepe.... thank you for writing .... Yes .. we did eat bear ... for a large wild game dinner that provided funds to widows and widowers who could not pay there utility bills. We hope you continue watching and write again. Dr. Russ
I would like it if it weren't for the fake elements. If there's no reason for them then just leave them off
Ian ... The one real element is the bi-pod ... it really isn't as sturdy as other bi-pods .... and becomes a distraction... nonetheless... I believe the power is there ... particularly in the 22 caliber ... and rivals the Benjamin Nitro XL which costs substantially more... Thanks for writing ... please keep us in your loop of air gun experiences ... helping us help everyone stay air gun sharp...Dr. Russ
Hows this gun doing today? Still working?
Yes... but with 20 PCP air guns ... the break barrels don't get much use... This Black Ops in both 22 and 17 caliber were well made .... and I dont expect them to break down with normal use... Dr. Russ
I enjoyed watching this! I subscribed love how in depth you are! Knowledge!
Thomas Majors ... it is good to hear from you ... and thanks for the compliment. Dr. Russ
