Shooting at 170 yards. 25 cal 34.9 nsa slugs

I should have taken some before pictures but didn’t think about it until I was cleaning up. I have done this to many stocks that have a poly finish old and new.

I got this older P70 laminate stock and the finish was looking old and dry and even has some crazing. This won’t help the crazing but will help hide it a bit.

I start by wiping down with alcohol just to clean any old oil off. Followed by wet sanding with 2,000 or higher grit sandpaper. Just trying to take off the oxidation and any nibs or really high spots in the finish. Doesn’t take much. You will see a whitish film in the stock and in bowl of water. Just a quick light pass is enough, you don’t want to burn through.

Clean the stock again with alcohol. Polish with some rubbing compound. The poly is fairly soft, I use Meguires Mirror glaze which is not very aggressive. At this point the stock should be shining. It will still have wavy orange peel but without knowing the thickness of the factory finish I don’t want to risk burning through.

Wipe again with alcohol and apply a hard carnauba wax. I like floor wax because of the high carnauba content. It also leaves the stock feeling clean without being slick.

I have my backyard profile zeroed at 9 Meters.
When I range find my zero at 9 Meters, I expected the Holdover Marker would match the reticle, the Holdover Marker is displayed at U11.8 MRAD.

Is the zero to low for the LRF?
Is my setup incorrect?

I recently bought a gamo swarm gen 3 .22 caliber, after breaking the barrel, I noticed a thin shaving of lead fell and hit my leg after I shot, this seems to happen every 10 shots or so, I'm not real experienced with air guns so I'm not sure what's going on, I just shot 30 pellets and I found about five shavings one was in the front of my scope? Can anybody help me?

A few of us got together and decided to try some less expensive guns. We are always trying to get folks at the range interested, but as soon as they find out your "BB guns" cost 2k, they are no longer interested. We set our all-in budget to include a scope at less than 1k. I bought a Gauntlet2 SL in.22, another guy bought a Marauder in .25, and the third guy bought an Avenger in .177. All are much better than the sum of their parts, but the Avenger has turned out to be absolutely stellar.
It quickly outgrew the disposable UTG scope and now wears a Vector Minotaur 12-60 that is on sale for 319 new. Two screws in the trigger were replaced with longer ones, which resulted in a very clean single-stage trigger under a pound. It didn't seem right to leave it in the plastic suit, so it was treated to a new laminate tuxedo since it was only 129 at Pyramyd. The result is a 20 FPE gun that loves QYS pellets. More than a tin without a cleaning so far.

Why the love? It shoots as good as anything else in its power range.....Anything!

Why the hate? It shoots as good as anything else in its power range.....Anything!

It makes it hard to justify more expensive guns. Granted, when something breaks on it, it's probably done for. But until then, I'm going to shoot it till the barrel is smooth!

All groups below were shot at the local range with witnesses.



3 consecutive groups at 100 just for a goof.

10 shots at 3-1/2 inches. Ho hum.


9 shots at 100 2", now things are looking up.

Finally 5 shots at 100 under an inch! I didn't have the guts to try for a 6th shot!

Where can I get an accurate barrel for my .25 Marauder (current generation)? Thanx.

Here in the UK , Bagnall and Kirkwood told me today that there is a new valve rod available that is supposed to stop this first few slow shots on the FX impact, so once i aquire one i will see if it solves this issue on my .30 cal 700mm FX impact M4.

If you had 3,000 to spend on a compressor what would be your top choice. I am looking at Hill or the Daystate?

Hello, im looking to sell my Karma SLS for $1000 and you paid for shipping. Comes with the Yokozuna and the adapter and the box. Does come with the scope. any question feel free to ask

I am thinking of getting an airgun for backyard target practice and the occasional squirrel. Everyone suggests getting something new from Pyramid or Airgun Depot, but I am also a huge fan of bargain hunting, which is why I love ebay and facebook market. I've searched craigslist and offerup, but there aren't many items for sale. Where else should I look for used guns? TIA.

I was all excited to hunt dove this year with pcp, didn't even bother looking up the regs I just assumed since you can hunt quail and collared doves with pcp, that once in season you could hunt white tipped and mourning doves with pcp... but nope, not in Arizona.

You can take migratory game birds (doves) with:
a. Bow and arrow;
b. Crossbow;
c. Falconry;
d. Dogs;
e. Shotguns shooting shot:

...a shotgun but not a pcp, I don't get it. Oh well, should have practiced with my bow more. Not much for shotguns, don't think I'll do it with my bow either so no doves for me.

Back to rabbits and ground squirrels.

What has happened to it? I joined one site that I thought was going to be the one, and I did realize that it was mostly PB's. As soon as i mentioned PCP I felt a shift start to happen 'you are under powered, you will have to get inside 50 yards? I have a Texan pushing 150gr at 990 fps. Then it was my tri-pod LOL, what happened to the days if you had the fpe to take them out you were good? you weren't judged by the cost of your gear. I can say I have never felt that way on any of the air gun sites, Thank GOD we have our own sites I felt like saying: . “You can shoot powder all day—but if you’ve never run a Texan at 990 fps, maybe sit this one out.”

This pistol won't take air and the slide is jammed. Has scratches on tank. The gun had a slow leak. I disassembled the gun and changed every o ring. It went back together and fired slow shots in the 400fps range, then the slide jammed. Full o ring kit installed, 2nd o ring kit in a bag. 3 mags , viper specific silencer and magazine springs. Over $1300 new. This is a non working pistol right now but before it was disassembled it worked fine. Shot 45 gr pellets and slugs in the 580fps range.

I will list it for $2600.00 plus shipping and insurance. I will not ship without insurance. My preference is to meet face to face (FTF) so you can handle the air rifle. I am in Bloomfield, IN and I don’t mind meeting halfway.

Think your gun is really accurate at 100 yards?

Prove it.

Simple premise, 5 groups of 5 shots each @ 100 yards.
Kudos for no sighters, but I doubt we'll have much participation if we go that route, so sighters are allowed.

Slugs or pellets, pick your poison.

Please include details like: gun/scope/projectile/speed/etc.

If you've got a gun that shoots like this "all day" post up two or three of the challenges (50-75 shots) to help us believe you're not cherry picking.

I’m selling this Anschutz rifle stock assy as seen in the attached pics. The stock was hydrodipped in silver and it was modified with inserts to fit an ISP air rifle. These inserts can easily be removed or modified to meet your requirements. It comes with original Anschutz grips, cheek piece and a Gehman Contact III MEC butt plate. The carrying case is also included. I’m selling it for $145.00 delivered in CONUS. Payment by PayPal or Zelle. PM me with any questions.

Do you use an elbow rest?

Coming from a PB hunting background, I was taught (right handed) to keep my left elbow vertical, below the forestock and my right elbow horizontal to form a pad of muscle to place the butt against as a recoil absorber. Airguns have no applicable recoil but I still shoot like that.

Again, out of habit/training, I shoot the way I normally stand - straight - without leaning over the rifle or canting my head. (Yeah, my scopes are mounted further back than most people's).

Seems that a lot of people use a low shooting bench and sprawl over the bench, hugging the rifle. Can't see that as being comfortable or consistent. Hey, whatever works eh!

I've setup my shooting bench high enough that I can sit straight up with the rifle on the rests and use an elbow support. I find that sitting up straight reduces body contact with the rifle to shoulder, cheek, off hand and trigger and minimizes the affect of breathing and heart beat on the sight picture.

I find that sitting up straight with left elbow on the bench and right elbow braced horizontally (per my off hand style of shooting) elevated on my support (log) I'm very steady and my position is repeatable.

I bench shoot alone so I'm just curious what others do.

Cheers!

The BRK shoots great and is currently sending 18.8gr JTS wadcutters at 790fps. It is very accurate out to 50yds, as far as i have shot it. It is quiet as it sits and very very quiet with any kind of moderator. I can split the package if needed, let me know what you think. This is my only lower power .22. I have 1.5 tins of the JTS which will be included,i just dont want to buy more ammo other than what i already use. I also have a brand new silver westhunter scope I can include, for a lower price than with the Zulus.
