Up for sale is my Sightron SIII 10-50x60 model #25011.

Details and specs can be found here - https://sightron.com/products/siii-field-target-10-50x60-ir?variant=39283081281694

I bought this scope new back in mid 2021 in hopes of getting into FT, but the scene died in my area. I no longer have a use for this scope as I recently sold the EV2 that was also part of the plan. The scope functions perfectly and is in as-new condition except for a few marks on the focus knob caused by the set screws that attach the wheel. All of the original parts and manuals are included in original box along with a Sightron 3” sunshade part #70008.

$1,000 shipped.

Thank you for your consideration.



Fence Post and Bolt Heads at 50yd. (Best I could do for a handheld iPhone picture)

I set the pressure gauge at 145, power wheel is on Max and hammer on Max. All I get is 696 to 707 fps.

If I increase the pressure the speed actually declines.

Is there any other setting to change? Trying to get to at least 850 fps.

I've always had glass optics, use to then use a lamp at night, then moves to rear addon and IR. However having recently got the Hikmicro Alpex 4k lite, currently on my HW100 and also tried it on my Anschutz. 22LR, i can see me using this more and just swapping it over to different guns, i am really seeing the appeal of digital scopes. Ok might not be as clear on targets, but im not really a target shooter. My local gunshop is seeing more traditional optics being traded in against digital optics. With constant improvements and extra features on digital scopes, will there still be a place for glass? Who has has changed over, from what to what? Curious to find out people's thoughts,?ss

Looking for an old RAW HM1000 .177 Walnut stock (with the finger groves) like this:


Willing purchase or if interested also available for trade my Evol Mini. One small ding above the pistol grip, 2 mags

Where do I begin......

Honestly, it hasn't been this long and winding journey to this forum, only took me about 5 weeks to land here and I am glad I did. I had this OLD Crossman break barrel pellet gun from days gone by. It is a .177 and probably 25 years old or so. I used it for pest control several times over the years and I have one of the older grandsons that likes to plink when he visits. I live on a few acres.

Fast forward to early June, 2025. I have a house sparrow problem. They are killing and bothering my purple martins and bluebirds. I bought several traps and had good success, but I thought shooting them would also help accelerate the eradication. The barrel and sight on my old air rifle was bent, maybe twisted, who knows. Sights were all jacked up. It was old so I thought I would buy something newer. I bought a Gammo Swarm 10X Gen 2 I think its called. Wow! Pellet cartridges, what a concept, never knew they existed.

Had that for a week and moved on to a Notos .22....nice! Hand pump, check. Nope, that is BS past 3,000 PSI, so I bought a Vevor compressor and an extra little filter. Sure beats that handpump.

Then I continue searching to learn more about PCP air rifles. Look at all this nice variety of air rifles out there. Picked up an FX Leopard Standard Bottle with a Helix 4-16 Gen2 scope. Sweet for sure, but damn, how am I supposed to "tune to the knee"? Ordered a Athlon Chrony. Ok, good for checking FPS and tuning now.

Not too happy with these little cigarette filters. Worried about moisture. Picked up a GX filter today.

Its only been 5 weeks since I picked up the Gammo. Does it ever end!

Curious: When did Daystate introduced its first electronically equipped PCP? And is it still supporting that model's electronics? (i.e. replacement parts.) Or did it kill support? If Daystate killed support, how many years after introduction did it kill support?

This matters as there's chatter about electronics becoming obsolete and support dropped. The mechanical parts can last decades so the electronics support matters.

Thanks

I would like to put a shut off after the moisture filter (in between the filter and the gun ) so i do not have to bleed off the pressure from the compressor / line , and filter to change guns when filling more than one gun . Or is this not a good idea as restarting up the compressor into an already pressurized line would be very hard on the compressor ?

I picked up this Artemis .22 cal PCP. Really nice little shooter. Comes with 3 mags. 1 single shot mag. Extra o-rings. Custom 1/2 UNF threads to fit any moderator.

Really compact rifle. Honestly feels like a bullpup, but full sized if that makes sense.

Awesome power; 25 FPE.

I understand my shot curve, and the pressure window I need to maintain. But as is always the case I want more! So the question is....Is there anyway to add a regulator to an unregulated tube type PCP?

I have been running through pellets like they were water. Finding out what my gun likes and what it only tolerates. At this point I'm in by nearly 450 pellets total.( Saving the tins like they had value lol). But I absolutely have to give props to bbsllc! I purchased the gx cs2 from their eBay store and it is doing fantastic!!! I shall continue to try to max this unit out!

Setting on the back porch, squirrel shoulder call in hand. Finally a cool breeze blowing through. And I'm getting an answer back from that fat gray!!! Life is good boys.

Been a lurker for some time here. Learned quite a bit from the posts...Thanks!

Always had some sort of air guns but never took them too serious. I live on an agricultural property, able to legally shoot firearms here though i have a residential neighborhood surrounding me so i try not to upset the neighbors (they don't like my loud tractors and other ag type of stuff and call the police when i burn, etc...though im zoned ag so im able to do things my in town neighbors cant.)

I needed some way to thin my squirrel population. Bought a crosman break barrel and started shooting, trying different scopes, different rings, other budget springers, various pellets, etc. I was getting decent accuracy but I felt it could be better. Came across a 30 year old Diana 34 in .177...WOW what a difference. I know it's still in the realm of budget springers but it's a huge difference. Currently at 860fps with 7.9 cphp.

Next up will be a tune kit and spring. There seems to be a few different spring options? Im not solely concerned with velocity, was considering the "Old school" kit from air rifle headquarters.

Any other spring/tune recommendations before I dive in?

What would be more net efficient?:

A single large tank or multiple smaller tanks of equal volume?

Let's exclude stop/ startup run time & other interuptions such as bleeding seperators, etc. Maybe using electrical use as an input & the net number of gun fills acquired from the tanks as the product.

Will the smaller tanks depressurize to a unusable point sooner thru use than the big tank?

I’ve been fortunate enough to shoot a ton of air rifles over the last 20 years or so and every now and again you run across one that you just shouldn’t get rid of. A time or 3 , I did just that and regretted it. I almost did it again, but had to ask myself exactly what I was looking for in an airgun.

At the end of the day, this little girl checks all of the boxes. Amazing shot count , It will shoot pellets or slugs with amazing accuracy, rock solid regulator, compact usefulness for my bird abatement, and built like a tank. What else can a man actually ask out of his rifles??

No matter what I pitch in her to eat, she spits them back out with this kind of accuracy. Not going to lie, I was super surprised by these slugs at 775ish. This group was 40 yards , but she will shoot this way out to 75 yards (maybe more, I haven’t tried it yet) with the 13.43gr JSB KO’s.

I’m as guilty as the next guy for always wanting to try the “latest and greatest”, but sometimes you have to be honest with yourself and realize the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Guess I need to apologize to her for even considering sending her off.

FX Dreamline has been working beautifully until today - now the regulator pressure will not stay above 50 bar. I can adjust it higher to 100 bar for example which is where it performs best currently, and it will fire a shot perfectly but will drop down 25 bar with each shot. So 2 shots to bring it back to 50. Glad of suggestions, is something broken or is there an easy fix?

I grabbed my old, 1970 Diana model 35 out of the safe last night and sat down at the bench with it for a while. I couldn't get it to stay on zero no matter what I tried. I was beginning to think that the cheap, CVLife scope had bit the dust, but I ran it over the chrono just to satisfy my curiosity. I think I've found the problem. Just check out the chrono string below. Look at that velocity spread! Pretty sure it's got a broken mainspring along with a bad piston seal. She's goin' on the bench soon. Possibly as soon as tomorrow.

4500 psi compressor for sell. It works great I just don't shoot that much anymore. Only a few months old $100 paypal F&F. 5135800792

I got the replacement o-rings for my Air Arm S510 .177 cal earlier than expected so I jumped to the opportunity to set it up for the indoor rats shoot right away.

I paired it with the Pard008 LRF and it was a deadly combination where I was able to tag 10 unlucky rats with 10 pellets. A perfect outing for me to remember and proud of.

The gun was zeroed for 15 yards and I did POA for 5 - 20 yards to figure out my hold over/under. After a few minutes of POI confirmation, I was ready to hunt some rats for the night. Unfortunately, I had forgotten the SD card for my Pard008 LRF as I left it in my computer loading port. I guess I was too excited and eager to go down to the farm that night. Since I was already down at the farm, I decided to just shoot and do some pest control without any videos capturing.

5 rats were quickly disposed of ranging from 12 - 18 yards. I was also using my OneLeaf NV100 scope as a handheld to scan the area and I realized that it has a SD card in it. So I was lucky in a sense and loaded it into my Pard008 LRF. I was then able to record the next 5 rats kill shots with two amazing shots at two rats up on the rafter, 18 feet high and 25 yards away. Two perfectly placed shot to the head/neck and dropped them like a brick. I was very proud of myself indeed.

This low power 12 ft.lb air rifle is a joy to shoot and I am glad to be able to use it for this indoor shoot.

Enjoy.

WHATS THE PROPER WAY TO DEGASS AN EVANIX X2 SNIPER .45?TIA

Have a Stoeger s4000-e, no scope (don't want), dovetail of course. Been looking for a green dot laser/optic sight that would be offset (~45 degrees) so that I can continue to also use the open fiber optic sights.
Can't find anywhere.
Also acceptable would be a picatinny adapter offset that mounts on the dovetail.

Thanks,

Jimmy
