Today was our squirrel opener in MD. 80 degrees. Could have been worse, but the mosquitos were tearing me up! Called it quits one short of my bag limit because of the bugs.

Mix of head and body shots since they were scurrying around at various ranges.

And who says those Hades/Atomics don't expand well?? Managed to recover two of them from the body shots. 22 cal Atomics, ~27fpe. Hits em hard. That's what I typically see, but people seem to complain about their expansion. Never had a problem in my gear.

Gotta lower numbers on these boogers sometimes. Doesn't get much cleaner than this.lights out for 1 of them during their midnight snack the rest are clueless. .22 impact compact at 50 yards. I was using a 16 grain pellet at 1065fps Laser accurate. I like to do something with them, unless they are no good for it. Tanned hide for a wall hanger .

.22 Red Wolf Heritage #48 of only 250 worldwide!
Here's your chance to own a very rare and beautiful rifle!
Shoots great, just like all Red Wolf's do. Likes JSB Redesigns.
Purchased in 2021. I used it as a backup practice rifle and gave it to my gf to use in competition. Signs of use are shown in the pics at the breech, (generally these are covered up by the magazine or single shot tray) and some light scuffs on the bottom from fishing around with the fill probe while refilling. Other than that, it has always been handled with great care. No bumps or dings in the stock. Used with PRS rail so the stock has not been drilled or modified in any way. Gen2 OEM board.

Comes with
Everything included in the original package
Custom Heritage hard case
Certificate of authenticity
Custom bronzed 0db moderator
480 cc bottle

Bipod, scope, and PRS rail not included.

Will consider partial trade for FX Royale .22 with CF bottle and power wheel. Not interested in any other rifles, thank you.

Just purchased my first pcp air rifle. It’s an fx panthera 700 in .30. Very excited to own it, and can’t wait to get proficient with this work of art.

What are the game laws in your State concerning hunting with an air rifle? Do you know them? Are you sure?

In New Mexico you can't hunt any game animal with air guns except collared dove, squirrel and grouse. There are no other provisions for air rifles.

In prior years you were allowed to shoot mourning and white wing dove with an airgun on your own property during season. The rules change every year. This year there is no mention of that.

.....

Here are the current rules cut and pasted from the official publication.

UPLAND GAME

Legal sporting arms for upland game: Quail and pheasant may be taken with
shotguns and muzzle-loading shotguns fi ring shot, bows, and crossbows. Eurasian
collared-dove, grouse and squirrels may be taken with shotguns firing shot, muzzle-
loading shotguns, rim-fire and muzzle-loading firearms, bows, crossbows and
compressed air guns firing a pellet .177 or larger.

MIGRATORY BIRDS

Legal sporting arms for migratory game birds: Migratory game birds may
be taken with a shotgun fired from the shoulder, provided it is no larger than 10-gauge
and is not capable of holding more than three shells. Migratory game birds also may
be taken with muzzle-loading shotguns firing shot, bow and arrows, and crossbow and
bolts.

......

Notice our law says "compressed air guns". Does that include springers? It's up to interpretation.

If you know the rules in your State post them! Let's find out where it's legal to hunt game with an air rifle.

NO LONGER FOR SALE, KEEPING IT...

This is a Rare gun priced to sell

This is a Very special gun of mine that is absolutely killing me to list, trust me if there was Any way I could afford to keep it I damn sure would, but at the moment I need the cash unfortunately.

This is one of the Tuned by Francisco Special Edition guns
These sell for a little over $3000.00 New.

This is off the RTI Website
This is Francisco's setup that he uses for long-range shooting - it is ideally suited for shooting from the bench. To achieve maximum accuracy, he went for selected RPB Barrels in 600mm, added some help from KLS with their bench pad and bag rider, and threw in the rail extension for the bipod, which is well fixed to the airgun, preventing "wobbling". You can also use it on the shooting bag, which is part o this kit. An extra plenum is added to increase the (already quite large) plenum volume, hard rubber grips for the bolt handle (+ergonomics) and the Hush suppressor is there to keep down the Prophet's bark.

Other features are standard of the Prophet II Performance, but they are nonetheless worth mentioning as they improve the capabilities of the Prophet II: extended stock with adjustable hammer spring, adjustable regulator, and carbon fiber bottle.

The Gun is in Excellent condition and is an unbelievable shooter, it is a .22 caliber and currently dialed in with 25.4 and 28.55 pellets

It has the latest valve installed and includes another New spare valve

1 x .22 RTI Gun with the Tuned by Francisco Package (no EZ fill)

1 x RTI Hard Case, Custom for the gun and has wheels

na

when did Daystate stop making the Huntsman with a bolt action ? curious as to how old of a rifle i am wanting ?

So after a suggestion here made by a Member, instead of Buying a Used tank from Ebay for less than $100.00, I went ahead and ordered a Refurb 90 ci tank from Pyramid. It looked to be in Great shape. The paint on the neck of the bottle has some scratch marks "probably from being removed" but otherwise looked great. The Fresh New Seal is there stating that it had been thoroughly tested to 7500 PSI is there and ready to be Refilled! Yayy Me! Unfortunately It loses 1000 Psi overnight. Now using a Small Pump to air it up is time consuming. From empty it took over several hours only filling to a certain Temp and then allowing time for the pump to cool down. Now I was Told when I ordered it that "It will be all ready to go! You have a Pump and the Correct Filters so Air it up and Have Fun!" I did that. And it Leaks. So back it goes. I am waiting to hear now from the usual commentors about how I somehow "Misinterpreted" what I was told? LOL How could it have passed a 7500 PSI Certification and not been diagnosed with a leak? Riddle Me that! lol
I hope that "Balanza Tres" approves this message.

Morning all,

Newbie to the world of PCP’s here. After a few years of shooting springers I’ve treated myself to a Vulcan 3/500mm/0.177 UK sub 12 ft/lb’er.

Unfortunately I was feeling the cocking action and stupidly double loaded and subsequently blew the breach seal out.

Is it a case of stripping the top of the rifle off and installing the new seal with a dental hook and bit it fiddling, or do I need to de gas the rifle and remove the barrel to access it please?

I appreciate this is super simple stuff to you guys, however I’m wanting to learn the right way and believe you should always ask before jumping straight in.

Many thanks.

Hello, everyone. I have a question about a glitch on the FX pocket Chrono V2 if anyone has encountered it in use. It started to sometimes completely measure itself unknown but normally it measures something.

*****Ad hominem attack removed.****


I bouth Fx maverick VP 22 6 weeks ago aprox.It came to me in sniper model hardcase and I was suspiccious...When I first time tried to cock my new rifle cocking was terrible,it was out of timing and like there was some rusted travel insid the gun...,I reached for you tubes how to videos and folowing that I noticed that I didnt get o rings inside the barrel,there were no o rings in transfer port,hammer v 7 was damaged,like production damaged and I have sand and polish it to make it works...gun has several marks that indication that it is not one time assabled dissasmbled.I send email to my suplier and he says that it is not possible,that they just got this rifle from Fx and they send it to me like this in sniper model hard case cause Fx send like that sometimes...,and that everything should be fine...I have limited options abouth my case cause I live in Croatia and first Fx store is 2000 km away.
I ordered some o rings from huma,put them in and poi of shift was terrible...I wasted 25 boxes of ammo to try to tune and make this gun works fine...then I put the liner in arrow spinner and I noticed a big wooble at one side so I send email to my suplier and to Fx.Suplier says that he has sended email to Fx to send me missing and damaged parts,after 10 day of no getting parts he said that they are on holidays,then Fx says that I need to contact my suplier...broken record case....In the meantime all screw are rusted and pins from cocking lever having tendency to fall out...
I had Streamline before and that gun worked flawlessly,with zero issues in few years and several dozen of thousands of pellets...
It is obvious that Fx is breaking bad bad bad...I dont care for Dubber,Gerhard and other videos abouth greatness of Fx cause is obvious that they are hard sposored and they can get around 50 liners to pick the best and the straghtess barrel and they show to us some non failed videos of Fx accuracy,as average Joe you could get really hard time with Fx thee days...
Fx done their marketing and they dont care abouth small people anymore,they have terrible quality control and terrible warraty and I think this is my list time dealing with Fx!I will order missing parts somwhere and try to make my maverick work,but also I think I am gonna sell it and buy Uragan or something much more reliable as I see on forums that I am not the only one that strugles with Fx from accuraccy to reliability.

I'm not sure what the cocking of a Maurader .22 should feel like as this is my first air rifle and have always shot bolt action firearms. When the bolt it rotated up and pulled back it slides back about 7/8" very smoothly like it would expect. There is a very clear significant increase in pull back strength required from this point to actually get the bolt fully uncocked. I thought it was broken by how much force I was needing to pull back after the 7/8". After applying a good amount of pull back force, the bolt will move an additional 1/4" back then the bolt is able to smoothly slide back all the way forward and be shot. Is this how the action is supposed to work? I feel like this bolt is requiring way to much effort to actually get the bolt to slide all the way back then forward for a pellet to be fired. The action is not a single a single smooth movement, it is very clearly 7/8" back with no effort, then when I put a scale on the rearward bolt pull, I have to pull with 27-30lbs of force to get the bolt fully to the back before it smoothly goes all the way forward. Is this normal? Brand new gun just bought, never shot before.

poof gone

What can I expect as I have one coming. What’s the max fpe it would be effective. Would a 30-40fpe gun benefit or are my expectations to high ?

Who’s going? And shooting more than one discipline?

Hello, I have a GXP CS2 that I kinded the hose end on. A new one was about $50 with the shipping and I purchased it but I hate to waste this one. I doubt its safe to use like this but can it be cut and a new end installed?

Pay pal f/f 48 states only, no trades at this time

Dove

Shot a bottle down to empty to move the valve. Last bit of air exited much like a Co2 gun will do when out of gas.
Changed the valve over to a CF bottle. Change went without a hitch. Screwed new bottle on the gun, would not take air.
Put a third bottle on I have, same thing will not take air. Air coming out the barrel. Was ist los?

What are some guns you are looking for? I had been looking for a 22 cal Walther LGV for about 7 years until I found one recently.

Sorting them was kinda a waste of time
I recently made a purchase of some JTS 22.07g pellets to try out.
Needed a replacement for the JSB's and their failing quality control
I have been using them straight from the tin for 50yrd shooting with great results, but for 100, i wanted to sort them by weight
This is where i think i wasted my time ...
I sorted out 1500 pellets to the 1/10th of a grain on a scale that goes to 1/100th
I ended up with 2 main groups and 4 ..yes 4 that were lower than 22.00g and Nothing above 22.20g ..Out of 1500!!!
The quality control is So Much Better than JSB!!!
I will still sort for 100 yards, but with these JTS, I just need2 piles

I went out hunting collared dove with the Diana 34 .22 cal today. The first time i have ever actually hunted with a springer. We see a bunch where we usually shoot. So I figured that would be a good place to start.

I put a scope on the Diana and went to sight it in. Got it tuned in at 25 and found the spot at 50.

The dove were coming and going all around me while I shot the target. A couple landed right next to the target and marveled at my tight 50 yard patterns. They hardly flinched when the pellet hit the cardboard.

I decided the gun was ready and spotted one on a low branch at about 40 yards. I missed him 3 times before I connected but finally gave him a craniotomy. His mate flew off.

He flopped around a bit and I thought to myself he would make a fine bass lure. About that time a hawk swooped down and got him.

He drug him up under an acacia bush and spent the next 15 minutes eating him. Then he flew up in a tree and waited for me to shoot another.

After an hour or so I'd head shot 4 birds and missed a few long shots. He seemed critical of my hunting skills. You could tell he had his doubts as he observed my many misses.

He was sitting on a tree about 45 yards away. A pair of collared dove came in and landed on the ground a few yards in front of him. I got a nice shot off and the bird got a botched craniectomy. He was a flopper.

The hawk must have thought that was a pretty cool shot (I know i did). He jumped off the branch and dragged that one into the shade. It was worthy of his attention.

So I got 5 head shots on collared dove with a springer and a new hunting buddy.

I got a crappy cell phone photo of him stealing my first bird. A crappy video too. I know it's not high res action shots through a high dollar digital scope but he's still pretty groovy.




I'm headed out this afternoon again. Maybe he's still hungry.

I have learned that if I want to go peacefully ratting my wife has to “green light” the outing. I pretty much lay the groundwork a week ahead of time. And then we do stuff together, walking, bicycling, etc. Then after some home chores? I blurt out, honey I would like to go ratting tonight is that OK? And off I go with my sanctioned outing… Am off after them tonight, and no matter how many rats I’ve kill its always exciting. Their eye shine and furtive movements make for fun shooting. And the satisfying thwack, or sound of hydrostatic expansion with a good head shot? Saweet!!!
