I normally shoot boat tail slugs out of my .25 Altaros M24, Texan .257 LSS and .30 Karma Red Panda.

I recently learned about rebated boat tail slugs and wondered if any AGN members shoot them?
When compared to boat tail, is there any advantages?

Does anyone know the difference? I've searched quite a bit with no luck of getting an actual comparison, I've even seen where guys asked the same question but no real answer. Hoping someone familiar with both rifles can chime in. I assume the magnum comes with larger porting, higher reg pressure and a heavier hammer spring to deal with the higher reg pressure. But those differences don't justify the price increase in my eyes. Any info is much appreciated!

Thanks guys,
Beau

Hey guys! Been on this one a few months now to make sure I had all the stones turned over. I know some of you have been waiting a loooong time for Diana, Germany to release their own (Made in Germany PCP). Well here you go!

Here are a few more of the show. There are a lot more on my Facebook page here and my web site at indianaairgunshow.com

This coyote was digging around where the coons dropped food. I opened a door 24 yards away on the 2nd floor very quietly and slowly, but it still spooked the coyote that promptly left the scene. A least this coyote will be much tougher to remove than coons.

For sale is my Akela .177 with a BSA Sweet 17 scope. Also comes with two magazine, one from maple, one from factory.

I really haven't tried shooting pellets out of this. Because it likes shooting slugs, doesn't matter if it's ten foot pounds or eighteen foot pounds. The stock spring is cut from 3.5" to 2.47" i also have the Air Revision spring kit which will give you more power.

Selling, because I don't really use it and I would rather have someone else put it to good use.

Could these tariffs be a blessing in disguise for American airgun manufacturers and a few other nations .and is it possible for these companies to say ,drop all guns 10% off retail .could a company corner the market and still make nice profit while satisfying consumers?? I know probably a pipe dream.

Our usually-scheduled April TEXtreme Bench-Rest Silhouette March being changed to 20 and 12 foot pound Field Target in response to popular demand requesting additional practice for the upcoming Republic Of Texas Championships AAFTA Field Target Grand Prix, last Saturday 14 shooters tested themselves in fantastic FT weather against some of the highest difficulty rifle and pistol Field Target courses ever shot. How "highest difficulty", you wonder? In a word, ILLEGAL!

How so, "illegal"? The American Airgun Field Target Association declares the highest legal Rifle and Pistol course difficulty to be 36.0T; that before applying the only wind multiplier of 1.25X. Saturdays Rifle course difficulty was 37.1T without wind multiplier (that both matches definitely deserved).

But wait… there’s more!

Given Texas’ well-deserved and notorious reputation for equally-notorious Pistoleros (think John Wesley Harding), that reputation is validated by the fact Texas Pistol Field Target shooters keep this Match Director busy increasing TEXtreme Pistol FT courses to ever-higher difficulties in order to limit our best Pistoleros posting perfect scores. Nevertheless, some have; so I often have to increase the pace of evolution to higher difficulties in order to keep pace with the Pistoleros’ evolving skills.

Consequently Saturdays pistol course was purposely set to a historical high difficulty of 40.4 Troyer! By the way, for what it’s worth, and for additional perspective, that eye-popping Troyer difficulty is without the (applicable in Saturdays case) 1.25X wind multiplier. Given Saturdays typically-tricky TEXtreme winds, six Pistol competitors tested themselves against wind-adjusted 50.5 (average) pistol Troyers. More details to follow.

Thirteen rifle shooters shot a total of 15 scorecards in the wind-multiplied 46.4T rifle-course match. Scotty Haslam prevailed for the coveted Rifle Match Winner hat-pin with an excellent 31/40 score, shooting 13.4 JSB pellets in his Sightron S3 scoped RAW TM-1000. Correction- if I’m not mistaken, one of his TM-1000s. Great shooting, Scotty!

Derrick Wall came Second in the Rifle match, hot on Scotty’s heels with a 30/40 score. Derrick used a .20 caliber Brocock Commander, Sightron SIII scope, and 13.73 JSBs at 805 FPS. Excellent shooting, D.

Rick Kiely’s 27/40 score was good for Rifle Third Place, posted with his Falcon-scoped .177 FX Crown shooting 13.4 grain pellets. Good shooting, Rick.

Ron Robinson posted a 33/40 score in the pistol match for Match Winner braggin’ rights. But being a life-long Texan, so not in the least bit disposed to braggadocio (at any and every opportunity), it falls on the Match Director to reveal Ronaldo used a 1960s vintage Crosman 187 model Co2 rifle he converted into a regulated-HPA-bottle Field Target pistol… using only sharp rocks and sand-stone as tools! The sixty-year old pistol that originally sold brand-new for $17.95 in rifle form wears a decades-old, front-focusing, Japanese-made Bushnell Trophy 4-12X scope, and shoots 8.4 grain .177 FX pellets 760 FPS for 10.8 FPE. Good shooting, Og.

Before-



After-



Hot on Og’s heels, Derrick Wall’s 32/40 was good for Second Place in the pistol competition. Derrick shot a Brocock Ranger P topped with an Athlon Talos scope, shooting 10.34 grain .177 JSBs at 720 FPS. Excellent shooting, Derrick.

Jim Clarke’s 28/40 score was good for Third Place, posted with his Hawke Optics scoped .22 Brocock Atomic XR, shooting 13.43 grain Air Arms pellets 630 FPS. Good shooting, Jim.

Virtue of these illegal Troyer factors trials-by-fire, I suspect Saturdays shooters consider themselves now duly prepared for AAFTA-legal Troyer difficulties they’ll face at the Republic Of Texas Championships AAFTA Grand Prix in a couple weeks. Given RoT pre-registrations, both the Rifle and Pistol RoT fields can rightly be considered national caliber.

In other words, more trials by fire! I can’t wait.

Happy Shooting,
Ron & Maggyy

troubles started with this eBay plenum. Couldn’t get one of the three joints to seal. Then took bottle off. That hasn’t held full air since.
So tube back on and got the plenum to hold air. It’s actually the Huben leaking. Have had a dozen 7x1.5 and tried lots more. These are amzon
oring kits . It’ll be nice to play with the other guns.

Hey Airgunners!

Based on feedback, it seems like there are too many choices to evaluate for my Classics, so I thought I’d simplify things and present a nearly stock version of the Leshiy Classics on offer.

This nice example is a 250mm .22 that other than some pic burn is in top condition. It’s equipped only with an STO super quiet shroud insert and slings pellets and slugs with backyard silence. Super accurate. Ready to take all of your gear and remain light and petite and unobtrusive.

Comes as shown with fill probe.

It doesn’t get more rugged or simple to operate than this and is capable of being tuned to beyond 30 FPE and upgraded with different caliber barrels in less than three minutes.

The price is $1200 $1000 with insured shipping to CONUS included. The price WILL return to $1200 Sunday evening.

Easy Peasy?

I accept PayPal, Apple Pay, CashApp and Bitcoin.

What’s holding you back? DM me with questions.

Thanks,
Mark

Took this one at 20 yards off hand with the challenger with the rws r10 wadcutters
not getting in my garden !

Who works on the Huben Gk1 ? Looking for a possible optio.

How does local dive shop connect to CF tank? In particular, this tank? Does the hose connection have to be removed and dive shop connects to M18x1.5? ( I assume this the thread size)

I have a like new Garmin chrono for sale. I'm using a LabRadar for now to do ballistic testing and don't need both.
$475 shipped.

Things I would trade for:
* Dreamline barrels in 177 and 22, the shorter the better
* Nice scopes in the less than 24x category

Looking at both of these rifles for sale on h the e forums and wondering which people prefer more and which one is better at 100 yard ranges

Hey fellow air gunners! We are putting together a budget gun battle for you. There are so many awesome air rifles these days that we figured we would put together a video of three popular budget offerings and run them head to head. We chose the Lord's caliber, .22 for all three rifles. They all perform extremely well and the results might surprise you!

Of the three rifles we tested which one do YOU think will come out on top? Comment below...

.25 caliber Talon with an 18 inch barrel and quick release tank. It shoots great and holds without any issues. In very clean condition with only slight signs of being used. $275.00 shipped/insured. PayPal friends and family is preferred but I’ll also accept a money order or a check with a hold for clearance.

Looking to pic up a new rifle and am deciding w Edgun r3 .22 or a fx Maverick .25
