So, how much power do you need? Chances are, if 38 fpe isn't enough, neither is 50. I have a Revere in .22, great rifle, you'll like it.

Your goals seem to be a little confusing. What is your use, how much power do you need, and how important is shot count? You mentioned that 45 fpe is kind of low. Too low for what? My gut feeling is, any version of .22 or .25 should suit your needs. I'd get a regulated rifle for resale value and...

I think it all depends on the shooter's expectations, and his/her experience with true match triggers. The FX standard trigger can be acceptable for many if properly adjusted. But to get the feel of a fine, multi-lever match trigger.....well, it ain't gonna happen. But it's functional and cheap...

I think you should try lowering the reg pressure. If you are assuming 165 bar is accurate from the Huma scale, it probably is not. I would lower it to the lowest setting that allowed reaching your target velocity with HST.

I don't know what kind of bore paste you are using, but it sounds like you might need to try something a little more abrasive. Since the issue is persistent in the same area of the bore, you are probably getting the lead out, but the problem in the metal surface remains. You have shot it enough...

I'm curious. Why would you store it cocked? To answer your question, yes, a coil spring will suffer fatigue if compressed for a long period of time. How important is it? Think about the valve springs in your car engine. They are under various states of compression all the time. When did you...

For generations, hunters and shooters have felt a kinship. And this would refer to firearms, not air rifles. The airgun hobby is newer, and the high end precision market even newer, and it probably includes a lot of folks who are not historically "gun people", and thus there is not the same...

That's exactly what I'm saying. I've never shipped a rifle I sold until the money was collected. Similarly, I've never received a purchased rifle until my check had been collected by the seller. It's a buyer's risk, never known it to work otherwise. It's a lot easier for the buyer to verify the...

If its a personal check, don't ship until the check has been collected by your bank. Or, avoid the risk and require some form of official check.

Silicone is a poor cleaning agent. Ballistol is good for mild cleaning and lubrication. WD-40 is good for cleaning also.

My bad, I thought you were asking for advice rather than general conversation. Nothing wrong with that, but I'll probably shoot what I've got as long as I'm on top of the dirt, wouldn't buy a thing.

My choice might be totally wrong for your needs or preferences. If you could disclose some of those, you might get meaningful answers.

I understand your perspective, and your call is the right one for you. When I tune a rifle, I'm working with a combination of hammer spring tension and reg pressure. When I reach the most efficient combination, the reg setting is immaterial to me, it's simply where the tune puts it. Am I...

The Vet 1 has always been a favorite of mine. I even prefer the rear lever, and yes, it has a great anti-double feed design. It seems that many folks seem to have a natural bias in favor of Huma regs, which I have never really understood. Two of my rifles, the Vet 1 and RAW have regs that, IMO...

I think you will find that wind, as with most variables, does not have a linear relationship to your groups or scores. A heavier slug, shot from a well matched barrel, would probably be influenced less by that wind condition, but it might not be what you would expect. As always, shoot and see.

IMO, don't worry about it, and don't use the safety. After playing around with a good many air rifles, I can honestly say that I haven't found a safety that I trust. When hunting, or moving around, decock on an empty chamber. Most FX rifles, and others that use spring loaded mags present a...

I've tuned mine down to 11 fpe, and it's darn near silent.

I've owned both, and the HW100 is quieter. Plus, it's much more tunable than the Daystate, and a better trigger. If you get the laminated stock version, then you get an adjustable comb, which I find very desirable.

Assuming a constant of 12 fpe, I think the caliber makes no practical difference. Generally, I prefer a .177 at that power level, but again, at 15 yards it makes no difference, IMO.

I tried a Koi once and thought it was less effective than the Sumo so I exchanged it. My RAW is an older one with Martin's original in-house moderator (not the car muffler), and I believe it might be as good as the Sumo, although I had no way to compare them on the RAW barrel.
