My friend Nick and I had a great time. We each aquired a couple things.

Now to go get some round balls and try out the .50 Dragon Slayer I found there

. I did get a Blitz for my brother too. He's happy that he's getting that.

We'll be back next year

Yeah, for doing

UTS = Urban Target Shooting

camuflaging the target(s)
is actually good practice.... ️
Because Karens & Kens have multiplied as if the were rabbits....

For targets I have used old cardboard boxes from the supermarket — that look like they are just trash sitting out there — with small red dots drawn as bulls' eyes between the labels of its (former) content.

Very... discreet.

There are things that I feel are worth upsetting someone.
Urban Target Shooting is not one of those things.

I take exception to to the "Ken's", I know a few Karens that aren't.

I bought this maverick newa few months ago. I am a retired 76 year old Veit Nam veteran. I shoot this gun daily bench rest style on my own 100 yard range. Just because it is my first post I don’t appreciate be calling a liar. I took time to take the pictures and try to tell my problem. I was hoping someone could tell me and help me figure out what was going on. This will probably be me last post here since you don’t seem to think I have problem and make fun of me.

Don't pay any attention to these "dinky dao" opinions here brother. Half of them are based on ignorance. FX barrels are neither hammer forged or drilled/reamed. FX buys tubing from a third party and applies rifling by applying external pressure. Every once in a while, a bad one gets through. I had two and sent them back to where I purchased the rifles for warranty replacement.

If I had known then what I know now, I would have purchased five Brocock Sniper or Safari XRs, with 0Db silencers, and called it a day. Would have saved me a lot of time and trouble by standardizing.

I own a pair of this style rifle in .22... though marketed several years ago as Nitro Venom and Titan I would guess the basic internals are similar. My rifles perform well with Crosman ammo and the only upgrade I've performed are CDT - charliedatuna triggers on both, making them much more a pleasure to shoot. Good luck with your Vantage.

I have thr grtIII trigger in my outfitter .22, which is the spring version of this platform. I would definitely buy another if the payment options were more convenient. For now I am gonna test out the various mods with the original and see how that goes.

Yes, I went out this morning with the dog and we found it. The grass was thicker in that area and the rabbit was laying flat on it's side - that's why I didn't pick it up when scanning for it last night.

The crosshairs changing color when the target is in focus indicates it is ranged correctly for the BC of the loaded profile. It only has five profiles, but I rarely change a scope like this to over 5 guns, so that wasn't a big deal to me.

I imagine that the Crown would check all the boxs, for a pesting buisness.
Everything from .177 to .30 caliber , and from 380mm to 700mm by simply changing barrel lengths and adjusting the power wheel.
.
Years ago I witnessed the damage caused by 2 racoons in a large finished garage.
2 sheets of drywall on the floor, and ruined about 1200 sq. feet of fiberglass insulation.
I ended up using a live trap baited with a small amount of dry kibble dog food, on 2 seperate occasions, and relocating both coons.
Problem cured, but what a mess!

The Crown does indeed! We have so many rifles because one rifle can't be everywhere. The reason we have so many different rifles is, I did not know what I was doing when I purchased them.

We found no fewer than five groundhog burrows under a foundation. As a result of their digging, the foundation had dropped a few inches, and cracked. They are digging machines. Took five out of their. Not "relocated".

Well, some sellers don't want to pay extra taxes to the Gov't. Anything over $600 has a tax hit. As it is, a lot of stuff is discounted a good bit, Throw in shipping cost, that comes out of sellers hand and finally, a tax hit. F&F softens the blow a little.

The $600 "tax thing" is incorrect, The IRS has never implemented that regulation. It has been on hold for a few years.

What you need to know about next year's $600 reporting rule from the IRS

The new "$600 rule" involves payments received through third-party transaction networks like Venmo and PayPal.

Tight clicks good glass but def better than the ARES gen 2 - I don’t have a Midas to compare

Thanks for the info! I might need to try these out, they sound nice. I also like the tree reticles they have. They are a little busy, but won't look so bad at higher mag since they are FFP.

in welcome

love to try 22 and 25 cal pellets and slugs before buying a setup where can we get ammo samples???????

Hello, I don't have any sample sales service at the moment. I've known you for a long time, thank you for your interest in our products.

HogKiller · 2024-06-02T08:30:24-0500

I can tell you folks that the design of this stock makes it a very natural fit, I have a fixed model, this one will be nice for those of us that want a foldable version.

I have an itch that needs to be scratched, and after shooting my shooting buddies L2 a bit I am wanting one as well.

I did have an original Leshiy a while back and stupidly sold it. I would love to either get an L1 again or find an L2 for a truck gun. I have another ad up for my Anschutz 8002 S2 set up for field target use. I would like to trade for either one of the rifles, and of course for an L2 would be willing to add cash to my side to even things up. I also have a few other things that can be offered up as well to help offset the price difference. But that can be hammered out if anyone is wanting to trade or something.

Please let me know.

Thanks guys!

So i was at the range today, and shot for 5 hours strait, and in spite of wind conditions you for sure have to work with or just live with.
Well lets just say i feel strongly encouraged here seeing the 13 gr Zan fly well, then 12.5 gr NSA, then 15 gr NSA and 16 gr Zam and finally 20 gr Zan too, which also seem to be okay, but you probably need to keep them at modest speeds in the late 800 to early 900 FPS and about 35 or so foot pounds.

VERY much looking forward to a perfect day.

is Faxe Kondi a Danish Red Bull?

I was just hoping he would answer the 1st question I asked lol . There are way to many red flags in this post to answer them seriously . Not to mention it is his one and only first post ever here on the forums . I can not figure out if it is AI or dishonest poster yet haha. My tin foil hat is crooked so I am not getting/receiving good signal at the moment.

My advise buy a new liner and tell the truth in the future hahahaha.

The main advantage is it cost them under $10.00 to manufacture... Its better to use a 1inch steel barrel blank to start with ,its actually stiff so it doesn't flex in drilling or reaming operations. Also.you turn the barrel on centers to the bore... Barrel liners a cheaper solution... Not a better one....I will use a barrel liner because of price not because of quality...

you got it right. what matters is the cost of production, not quite the quality. but we are talking about air rifles where not even one production version is completely accurate. the sponsored shooter uses only the selection barrel at competitions. most manufacturers keep these select barrels. the rest goes on sale.
now the primary production of barrels is for firearms and for airguns only something goes where 40% are usable and the remaining 60% are scraps. and of the 40%, 5-8% are of good quality.
so today it is possible that even fx liners will be of better quality in some cases.

I'm surrounded by PB's going off every other day, so I'm good.

When I had my shoulder surgery I made a video of my first shoot the day after, shooting a Browning Buckmark crack barrel pistol, one handed. During the video you can hear the neighbors start with their powder burners. I comment, “There goes my neighbors with their pesky powder burners”.
