Have a question. Is there a .22 slug shooter that maintains a high shot count. I have a avenger .25 i get about 20 shots per fill very accurate and good power to 50 to 60 yards.and a vulcan 3 hp .30 get about 20 shots per fill excelent power and range. It would be nice to have a gun to fill and shoot for an extended period. I would prefer to push slugs as they seem to be better at longer ranges 75 to 150 yards. I would like to maintain budget friendly and not opposed to used. Im just wondering

Hello to all,

I am new to the PCP world and have already acquired a compressor. For the last three months I have been shooting a GAMO swarm viper out to about 50 yards. I had no idea how much I would enjoy this sport! I can shoot PB on my property but being able to sit inside next to my wife and talk to her while shooting has been a top notch 10/10 experience. Not to mention shooting an air rifle is much cleaner than a PB! Also, worth mentioning how much quieter it is.

That being said my GAMO break barrel is starting to diesel... I think... I typically will have a fairly long shooting session on the weekends. about 150-400 pellets in one sitting. However, lately if I'm shooting my GAMO a lot it starts to..diesel? smokes.. smells.. I set it down for a while and let it "cool off" and it'll shoot fine again for another 10-15 shots. That being said I've come to the conclusion that I want more accuracy out of my rifle. Which has led me to the PCP rabbit hole.

I typically bench rest shoot and would like something capable of shooting 100 yards fairly consistently. I THINK I want to be able to shoot slugs too. Reason being is that I live in Illinois out in the corn fields and the wind here is relentless. Shooting out of my GAMO I'm shooting 11.75 gr predator GTO pellets and the wind tosses them around a lot. It doesn't stop me from shooting though but between the springer being hold sensitive and the wind it can be frustrating.

SO I am in a bit of a dilemma.. I currently have $800 saved for a PCP air rifle. I would like to stay local as far as branding for fear of not being able to receive parts should I need them (USA)

OPTION 1: Benjamin Marauder
I really like this because of the price point and legacy. My buddy who got me into this sport has two P-rods he has built with CF bottles and completely transformed it into a work of art.
However, I like the traditional wood stock rifle look.

Pros:
good parts service/aftermarket availability
price
nice wood stock
accuracy
Quiet!
good trigger (better than my GAMO)
adjustable cheek riser

Cons:
I think this is the biggest for me. SHOT COUNT seems TERRIBLE and I can't find the parts for a bottle conversion...
a 20-30 shot count is a killer for me. the field and target model seems great with 80-90 shot per fill but I'm worried that you're trading shot count for power... so would the field and target just be a pea shooter? How would that affect it at say 100 yards...would the field and target be capable of shooting slugs? Or does it lack the power...
not regulated (unless field and target or I regulate it myself)


OPTION 2: RAW hm 1000x
This seems to just check all my boxes and is just a beautiful looking rifle. Not to mention USA made as well.

Pros:
nice wood/laminate stock
seems to be more accurate on reviews than m rod
more FPE
more fps
Good trigger
I believe it's slug capable?
local and from my understanding RAW is a great company to get in contact with.
Regulated
higher shot count 50-60

Cons:
Price. Is it too much air rifle for my needs? maybe a little pesting but nothing my current GAMO couldn't handle. mostly shooting paper, spinners, etc.

no cheek riser unless you go for the tactical chassis

I've heard it's relatively loud. which would mean the Mrs. would kick me outside with it lol. I have seen you can attach a donny fl silencer to it. I do prefer the look of the non shrouded version but have seen the pressed on threads come off on a review while shooting it and that has REALLY made me question whether or not it's worth it. But if it has to be shrouded so be it. still a nice rifle.



BONUS Daystate Wolverine R HP in either .177 or .22
I know it's across the pond but the price is just right. great shot count and power. I would love to shoot .177 seems you can get so much more ammo per dollar but I have a feeling the winds out here would really break my heart how is it dealing with parts and service from daystate? they seem to have reasonable reputation.


I know I could get more of a mid range like the avenger x but I try to stay clear of Chinese products with my hobbies. I am also a huge knife nut and only buy American made knives. I just don't get the same satisfaction buying Chinese goods. (I'm not saying they can't make a great product)


I'm open to any suggestions and advice anyone could give on the matter or any other rifles that I could be overlooking. Thank you!

These were the last little pieces I had been stalling to fabricate .. today was that day to just Get-R-Done

Utilizing the OEM trigger blade which has some shapes not willing to fabricate from billet, we just figured out the where and attached a spring steel rod, bent where wanted for set back & angle, made a button and we have a semi adjustable trigger blade after cutting off the old one. Button can go up/down or able to rotate finger side face. Kinda targetish .. kinda Ghetto

Up on the cocking arm made a new drop down handle being larger in diameter with poly o-rings for grip feeling much improved from the original.

Just a share ...

As new FX M4 Sniper .30 in bronze. I am the original owner and has maybe 20 shots through it. Moving away from the bullpups to the more traditional rifles and no sense in this one sitting in the case.

Will ship with hard case, one magazine, owners manual as it came from the factory.

Not a dial has been touched and with a reg pressure of 100 bar is shooting the 44.75 at 900.

1800 and we can split the shipping OBO. PayPal for pmt.

Received my biggest delivery today for co2 guns! Charles

First the people on this forum are wonderfully generous. I've been toying with the idea of knocking the comb down on my dearest most used rifle. My first Hw30 from 2016. I call it my "Baby" BB gun because of its size and adoration. For sentimental reasons I didn't want to experiment with the original stock so I was asking around for a beater take off to try.
Enter @maxtrouble. Out of nowhere he unsolicitedly sent me a brand new take off stock. It was such perfect condition I couldn't take a belt sander to it. Instead I swapped it with the dented stock on my wife's Hw30.

I belt sanded the comb to where it fit me and sent it to a friend here, @Bear-of-Grayling. He stripped it refinished to this gorgeous finish. Which wasn't easy. He turned the thing around in week without discussing payment. I'm very grateful that the people here are so kind and generous. Now my "Baby" has a new much nicer and better fitting stock with more sentimental value than the original. Thank you guys!

Be well,
Ron

Ps; look how worn the original butt pad is. This rifle is well loved!

***SOLD****

Another fine shooting rifle up for sale. Just not enough time to shoot so I’m only keeping 3 or 4 compact airguns.

My trusty HW110 Laminate in .22. I’ve had it for a couple of years now. Stupidly quiet and super accurate. This thing loves the HN Barracuda Hunter pellets. It’s not a powerhouse, it sends them at around 800 fps very consistently and accurately. Same with JSB 18grn.
Super fun for birds cause it so quiet that the other birds usually stay there after their buddy just went down.

The stock is not 100% mint. It has a few dings as shown in the pictures, but they are very small and hard to notice. The gun is still beautiful.
Comes in the factory box with all paperwork, 3 magazines and fill probe. Only 2 magazines shown in the picture, there’s one inside the gun, so 3 are included. Scope and rings not included.

Looking for 870.00 shipped. PayPal Friends and family, Zelle or Venmo.

Please call or text for immediate response.

I just bought a compressor on sale and didn't really look at it much but it says on it that you should only fill up too 500cc bottles. Could I fill a 580 or will it over heat and break?

So my entry to the world of PCP began with a couple months of research before finding the forum here, tons of great info and some very helpful folks here and Im so grateful for that. I ended up staying with my original and most researched choice, the FX Impact M4, the Copper color in .22 cal. Kind of a "damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead" moment, despite the negatives Ive read about here. Im happy to say that my particular M4 seems to be just fine. Shout out to the fellas at The Pellet Shop, the rifle arrived fast, charged to 260 BAR, and fully tuned to my choice of pellets. They also threw in a free t-shirt, pellet saver band, and a bag of Twizzlers. I mounted an Athlon Midas Tac 6-24x50 scope with MOA reticle and 30 mm tube, great combo!

Im shooting JSB 18.13 pellets. Reg, came set at 110, 15 on macro, micro set a shade over 2.5, Valve adjuster shoes what looks to be about 4.5 lines. This morning my Magneto speed V3 chrony showed a high of 915 low of 908, avg 911, ES 7, SD 2.8 over a string of 10 shots. With all the rain my shooting has been limited to out the bedroom window at distances varying from 20-35 yards, but let me tell you this thing is impressive. with a lull in the rain yesterday i was literally smashing flies at 20 yards. the giggle factor was off the charts.

I recieved the M4 on the 1st, as I stated the reg was set to 110, over the first 24 hours it dropped to 105 but has been rock steady there for 3 days now, assuming the drop was temperature related since my house is quite cool. The bottle pressure dropped to 255 as well. I dont see this as an issue, i expected things to settle a bit. My first refill came after the first 175 shots, bottle pressure was 145, figured filling early would avoid loss of performance. So far Im happy as a clam, great looking rifle that doubles as a fly swatter, no apparent issues. Hopefully the weather clears soon so I can stretch out the distance.

$1400 OBO shipped in its hard case as you see good condition ready to shoot Super accurate and powerful 50+ FPE tuned for diobolo 25.4 grain stabilized @ 965 fps great accuracy into 100 yards or more.

Going down a different route. Really nice scope. Cool reticle. Can’t be beat for the price in a compact scope; comparable to that new VUDU 3-9x32 scope but much cheaper. Like new and I never used it. Ships in original box.

This one is a 2-8x32 with illuminated reticle.

So having just gotten a Mutant i know mags are very hard to come by being a discontinued gun. Decided to do a search and found some on Ebay. Had both Mutant and Veteran mags. I had 2 with my Mutant and 3 with my Veteran but wanted to have 4 each. Tried 2 of the Mutant and 1 Veteran. Paired with 3 mag holders I have 3 ready to go with one in the gun at all times. They work very good. The Mutant mags are only 10 rounds vs the 12 on the standard mags but I'm assuming it's so they aren't so fragile. Here's where I found them if others are interested. Also has mags with a stop part so you know when the mag is empty. Having owned Taipans for years I can feel when they are empty but I'm sure others might like them.

On a previous post I noted I upgraded my hammer to 8.5g humma air hammer.

My reg was at 135 and and was achieving 950fps with zans 37gr. This worked fine for speed but accuracy was just ok.so I looked for a better tune. After some correspondence from zan they said I should be shooting them at 985-1010. So I upped my reg up get to these speeds.

However in both my tunes I found the tune ability with the macro was negligible. For example tonight when my reg was back to 135 I was getting 965fps with my macro on 16. I turned the macro gradually to 4 and there was only 3fps decrease.( I’m confused)

The only way I could get any noticeable drop or increase in speed was using my valve adjustment but that’s not the way to tune according to countless videos on YouTube that iv watched

I presume im doing something wrong if my macros isn’t having much of an effect.

Is my hammer too heavy ? Should I use 7.5g or revert back to 6.5g

Any advice ?

Does anyone make an extended ARCA rail for the HM1000X LRT with laminate stock?

You can have it your way. All leftys and backyard friendly. From .177 to .257. Rti prophet performance compact. 177/22, Rapid mk ll .20, Raw hm1000x. 25/.30, Bulldog m257. All shot from deck. Some manufacturers listen. They are out there.

Starting a thread for people shooting .177 caliber slugs from CZ barreled guns. Please share your experiences


Shooting from Katran L tuned for 24fpe

Tried the .1775 Hollow Base HP "Take-Aim" slugs from Ebay

12-13-14gr.

Shot today at 36y

I'd say the performance is top notch.


13-15gr VK slugs perform very well too.

I've always admired the Daystate Red Wolf. I know it has been eclipsed by new models....Grey Wolf, Black Wolf, etc., but I love the classic lines and I'm intrigued by the electronic tuning.

What are your thoughts regarding purchasing a used Red Wolf? Any pitfalls to avoid or concerns to address?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Beautiful RAW HM1000x .22, with 700cc bottle. Pic rail installed on stock for easy bipod mounting.

Shooting the Monster Redesigns at 950 with typical RAW accuracy. Bought this on a whim and has sat ever since.

Includes one magazine.

Bipod, scope, rings, Falx not included.

Say 1150 and we can split the shipping. PayPal for pmt.

Planning on buying my first pcp. Looking for around a grand with nothing on it. Already bought a compressor. Opinions and thoughts?

I came up with post because of all the beautiful custom paint work I have seen on this Nation. Paint , prep.
Everything. I recently seen some beautiful work on the Post Zelos pics here thread. I want to do same nice stuff , but no way is that being done with Wally World rattle cans. How is it done some of those look like Ferrari's.
Thanks for any advice OldVet wants to know.

Has anyone tried this product for removing lead from barrels?

Good day,

I have transitioned away from air gunning into a new hobby and I will be selling off everything air gun related. Shipping is not included in the prices below.

PRICES:

.22 JSB 33 grain $12 per can
.22 FX 25 grain $17 per can
30 caliber Zan 56 grain BR 100 pellets $16 per can
Zan .218 40 grain slugs $16 per can
Zan extreme long range slugs .217. 42.3 grain 17 per case
Basic air filtration for air compressor $40

Up for sale is a beautiful AGT Uragan in .30.
This was King model first generation when I bought it but I hated the dual bottles and the huge useless shroud. So I ordered a new regular shroud ($180), took off the second bottle and added the aluminum handguard (another 180$). This Uragan has been trouble free since the day I got it new from the awesome guys at AoA. It’s currently sending the 44gr JSB at around 907-910 fps, The 50grn pellets sends at about 865-870 and it’s pellet on pellet at 25 yards. It also shoots the NSA 47gr Slugs really well and has instantly turned the lights off for a few coyotes, foxes, etc…..

Absolutely nothing wrong with the gun. As many of you know I no longer live in Arizona so I don’t have time or places to shoot as much as I used to. For that reason I’m only keeping 3 Airguns. The rifle comes in the factory cardboard box with 2 magazines, user manual and fill probe. It does have an EagleVision 1/2 unf thread adapter so you can use your favorite moderator, if you want. For the power this gun produces, I think it’s not loud at all. Scope and rings not included.

A new Uragan 3 will run you 2000 from Talon and you have to roll the dice on whether he’ll ship your gun right away or make you wait forever and ignore your calls. (yep, I’ve been there myself).

I’m asking $940 shipped inside the continental USA. (And you don’t have to roll the dice since your gun will ship right away, double boxed, insured and signature required.

If you’re interested you can pm me here or you can call/ text. Text or call for immediate response.
