anybody having problems with the cocking lever getting stuck or losing power?
this could be your problem.
-open up the top rail of the cocking lever and take a look inside. you might have a pellet stuck in there.

-for loss of power. you might also have a pellet or two between the hammer and poppet valve pin. i found all these slugs smashed around the pin, acting like a shim and stopping the hammer from fully opening the valve.. i suspect it’s my doing by not seating the slugs/pellets fully into the magazine before shooting them. i may have also done this when i had to unjam a pellet from the muzzle with a stick and may have popped the pellet into the space where the pellet probe retracts into when cocked.

don’t be like me i couldn’t find anything online about this so i hope it comes in handy for a future shooter of this platform. shoots!

Hello, My son has a Umarex Ruger 10/22 that the o-ring on the cylinder that pierces the co2 cartridge has gone bad or over tightened. I reached out to Umarex to find out it is no longer made. Being that the o-ring disappeared as well I'm wondering if anyone has the correct size of it or where I possibly could find one. Umarex was no help. Thank you!

Nice morning but wet, 2nd card was tricky - as usual. Tim & Matt took the long drive from Central Valley to join us.
Last weeks USARB night shoot was cancelled - rescheduled to next Saturday night 7/19.

Bob, JoeF and Dennis took the 1st match. Joe's new bbl is amazing - using the Pro plug they scored 750-45X! Dennis' new RF is good too.
Keith, JohnV, Dennis, & Mark took the 2nd match.

WOW, these rifle/competitors are getting better. 12-250s shot today!

USARB - those 8.4 177s are so tiny. Fun too shoot tho.








Thanks to Tim (Mac1) for helping Joe score and bringing good air.
Thank you JoeF for gifting us your facilities and more.
Thank you Vipha for feeding us, as usual.

Is it ok to turn reg pressure down, when the gun and reg is at <1000 psi? On hard to fully degas guns

I am selling my rti prophet.22 cal lr barrel. Comes with probe and 2 magazines. Asking $350 shipped conus

So I got a Gamo swarm Magnum, generation 1, in 22 caliber. Anyway I wasn't sure why this top rail that came with the gun had a break in it. I decided to mount my bkl scope rings right over it just to see if it would hurt or not. I didn't have any of the pellets that normally shoots so I shot a few that were close in weight. Anyway I wasn't happy with the groups and I'm thinking this is the problem. I've got one of those one piece rails with the mounting stud that goes in the hole at the top of this rail on the gun but I'm not sure it's going to get my scope far enough back like I want it. But anyway I guess I'm going to have to change these out and try it. So anyone have any idea why this top rail, the one right underneath the silver bkl Mount, is split like this? My Swarm Whisper has one that's a solid unit. I wouldn't think that even using a two-piece mount you could Mount one on one side of the split and one on the other because that would still defeat whatever purpose it serves. What's everybody's thoughts on this? Thanks.

For years, I was convinced that the performance gap between mid-tier and premium air rifles wasn’t significant enough to justify the price. I'd owned and enjoyed several mid-range PCPs like the Benjamin Marauder and the Umarex Origin — solid performers that handled everything I asked of them. A decade ago, I even splurged on a big-bore rifle from a major brand (which I’ll respectfully leave unnamed). That rifle turned out to be a major disappointment: poor build quality, sub-par accuracy, and a frustrating customer service experience. After spending nearly $2,000 on that letdown, I concluded that high-end airguns were mostly about branding, not tangible performance.


Disenchanted, I stepped back from the sport for a while — save for the occasional backyard squirrel control session. But that changed a few weeks ago when a Ted’s HoldOver video popped up in my YouTube feed. One click turned into a deep dive back into the world of PCP rifles. I quickly found myself neck-deep in reviews, forum threads, and tuning tutorials, looking for something different — something better.


This time, I was ready to step up in caliber without going all the way to a .45 or .50. I settled on a .30 or .357 as the sweet spot for small to mid-size game hunting. After combing through classifieds and community boards, I landed on a deal I couldn’t pass up: a Kalibrgun Snipe II in .30 caliber.


Unboxing it, my first impression was skepticism — it felt surprisingly light for a rifle in its class, and I worried about material quality. But once I had it in my hands, I realized it was anything but flimsy. This rifle is the definition of tight tolerances and thoughtful engineering. It feels like a Swiss — or should I say Czech — watch.


The very next morning, I took it to the range. I started at 30 yards for a rough zero. Despite everything I’d read about the complexity of tuning high-end airguns, I felt confident thanks to videos from Atlas Airguns and the Airgun Channel. I was shooting slugs from the start — H&N .30 cal, regulator set to 150 bar — because this rifle was always intended to be a hunting tool, not a backyard plinker. Five rounds in, I had it dialed. The next groups? Single holes. Consistently.


At 50 yards, the rifle really started to draw attention. Sub-half-inch groups aren’t something people expect from an airgun, especially at a public range. Onlookers went from side-eyes to full-on curiosity. By the time I stretched out to 100 yards — with only a makeshift wooden block and carpet as my rest — I was still getting just over 1 MOA groups in a steady 15 mph wind. Not bad for an “air rifle,” huh?


People started asking questions. Then they asked to shoot it. And after a few pulls of the trigger, they were hooked. Almost every person who tried it walked away impressed, if not outright amazed.


Somewhere in between passing the rifle around and swapping stories with strangers, I realized something: I’d become an ambassador for the sport — and for high-end PCPs. The Kalibrgun Snipe II didn’t just pull me back into airgunning. It shattered my old assumptions and reignited my passion for precision shooting.


Sometimes, it turns out, the difference does matter.

I'm told that PCP semi-autos are more complex and less reliable than side levers.

1. Is this true?
2. On average, how much more complex - if there is a rough percentage.

For example, lets compare the Hubens K1 vs Daystate Revere or something along those lines.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

$650 Shipped/insured CONUS (lower 48) only. I have a Brocock Compatto XR in .22 non-regulated, slingshot hammer system, adjustable power with hammer spring and transfer port adjustments. Has newer style trigger with adjustable trigger shoe. This gun is absolutely fantastic, even in the non-regulated form it performs awesome (think Daystate Revere non-regulated) and is in great condition. Less to worry about with no regulator and never a first slow shot issue, always worked perfectly. Slingshot hammer system is as good as they get. Bought new from AoA, have original box and paperwork that came with gun. Barrel is shrouded, its quiet but not Taipan or Edgun quiet. 1/2 UNF threaded, but it doesn’t really need a mod unless you want it silent. The stock is solid, not hollow and feels great. Adjustable butt pad, 11 shot magazine. I have it set up to shoot Hades at 800 for about 55 shots, can be turned up to 30 ft.lbs if needed, as accurate as they come. Side lever is smooth. Also, 150cc tube can be easily filled with a hand pump if that’s your thing and of course comes with fill probe and foster QD. fills to 200bar but I’ve found 185 bar to be best. If you want to add a regulator, Huma makes a drop-in reg for it. OAL is 33”. I’m probably going to regret selling it. We are looking at moving out of the area and not sure if my airguns are going to be doable hobby if we move. I can provide more/better pics if you want. Does not come with scope or bipod. New, this gun goes for $1149 and I paid just under that a few years back. If you were lucky enough to get one on sale recently, then you did well! If you live local you are more than welcome to meet up and shoot it. I ship fast and insure everything I sell. PP F&F preferred. P.O. MO can also be accepted. Thanks. Blair

I have had a cz 634 lux (blue synthetic stock) in storage for years now and brought it out and shot it again and the shot cycle is and always has been very twangy and buzzy and unrefined for such a low/medium powered springer. It actually shoots well and is very accurate with wadcutters like rws hobby and QYS training pellets and also JSB's but its such a loud and violent shot cycle that it definitely needs a REALLY good tune. The trigger can be adjusted to be very light but it might be the worlds only 4 stage trigger with how many times it sticks and stops before the final pull. Is there anything to do to make it less rough without spending more than its worth by sending it out to be tuned? I feel like i just want to move on from it or just put it back in storage if it can't be made more gentle to shoot.

I have .25 stuff covered well, and I think I have .22 down well enough at the moment (that can always change though, lol). But I’m considering a .177 PCP purely to have something with a high shot count per fill (200+). I realize shot count varies based on the tune, so if it helps I’d be happy with a tun that puts me anywhere from 12fpe up to 16fpe or so. The ability to tune higher would be nice in case things change, but I have lower fpe covered with a few Weihrauch springers. For the sake of this discussion and to keep things simple, let’s keep the tune to the 12-16fpe range.

I’m familiar with and enjoy BRK/Brocock, EdGun, and Taipan, and I’ve read a lot of good things about RTI, AGT, and several others. Those who’ve owned or shot these enough to know, how was the shot count per fill in this tune range? I’m strongly considering an RTI Prophet Performance, but I’m always open to other quality options as long as they net me a higher shot count. Doesn’t matter if it’s a single shot or repeater, if you’ve enjoyed a .177 that let you shoot a 250ct tin (or more) without needing to top up, I wanna hear about it!

when the FX product is several dollars less per tin?

From everything I've read the only difference between the two is that the FX product uses dedicated dies. So how and why does JSB justify charging more for basically the same product when FX may potentially even be superior?

Is the recoil changed by using lighter or heavier pellets? Lighter pellets lighter recoil, heaver pellets heavier recoil? Does that recoil change the point of impact from the point of aim? Again, I am shooting a spring piston break barrel. Trying to get tighter and more consistent groups.

Really enjoying this forum, learning a lot. That said, i generally enjoy reading printed text. For some reason i incorporate the data/information better in tactile print.

I would very much appreciate your suggestions regarding a current informative, comprehensive and well written text book on air rifle shooting. Looking for the whole gamut of information from set up, maintenance, platform optimization....not just shooting technique per se. I only shoot target/paper so ideally a text that isn't all that directed toward hunting,

thank you

Having signed on with RTI to shoot for them in competition, I'm offering my .25 caliber competition Skout EPOCH for sale. This gun has taken me to the finals in several of the majors over the last two years and is NOT your ordinary EPOCH. This gun, like all of my guns, has been meticulously cared for and customized with the absolute best of everything available from Skout and their 3rd party suppliers. It is easily one of the most accurate guns currently being used in benchrest competition. The gun comes with a plethora of upgrades and extras and shoots lights out at 0-100 yards using a variety of pellet / speed combinations. This is all due to the amazing SUB MOA barrel with which it is equipped. The pictures show the gun and the parts that accompany. However, the Delta Striker 5-50X56 shown in the pictures is NOT included in the $1850 price. If you're interested in the scope I can offer it at a deep discount.

If you would like more information on the gun or have questions, feel free to contact me via text at (513)348-0014.
$1850 shipped anywhere in the continental US.

Hello all,

Brand new to this sport, just bought my first FAC air gun and I have a few questions for you guys.

From what I've been told, in almost every country high pressure air vessels have to be Hydrostatic tested very 5 years (or so) with a "total lifetime" use of somewhere around 15 years (or so) which I'm good with for safety, but what about airguns like say an AirArms S510 or any other air guns that dosen't have a removable high pressure air tank.

Or say something like a water removable device like a "Tuxing water seperator" that are also charged to 250+ bars, or even the air whips we use to fill the guns/tanks?...

Want ~4-12x40 or 44 could be higher mag
1” tube
Non Illuminated
Second Focal plane
Side focus
Reticle similar to Bushnell Deploy MOA

IF I have to go with FFP to get Mil that’s ok.
Needs to be less than 16-18 ozs in weight
Budget $275 or less.
Thank you!
