I have several decisions to make. I would like to purchase a new FX Wildcat compact m3, my question is should I get the BT or tube gun, and also am trying to decide whether to swap barrels on my Impact from .22 to a .25 and get the wildcat in .22 0r get the wildcat in .25. Either way I would like to end up with both a .22 and .25. I am leaning to the wildcat tube gun in .22. Any thoughts ?

Had to make a new pellet trap as the old one started to show severe signs of wear. After some thinking I came up with the idea of forcing the pellet to fly through a bend to slow it down before it hits the back stop. Works just as intended. Catches .25 pellets as if they were cotton. I'm really happy with this little project. And it looks like a steam punk device that could have been in Brazil (the movie), that's a big plus!
Never mind the tripod, that was just what I had at hand for the testing. I'm going to mount it on something much stronger and sturdier.

I like to shoot 100 M target rings with my Impact MK2 which I am considering outperforms the current M3 stock rifle with all of these my internal tweaking and upgrades. Not saying exterior cosmetics but the tuning capabilities and performance.

Whenever I am tuning I usually shoot five groups in a 5x5 target paper (at 100 M) and basing my decisions from there, and almost a full tin in a session.

Using a one piece rest or a front tripod with rear rest, no bipods and no bags where a user can induce more/less errors.
I have three .25x700 and two .25x600 liners, and with widely available off the shelf pellets (JSB 34gn MK1's and MK2's).

The average group size with pellets is about 1.5 MOA @ 100, yes there are a lot of MOA as well but I don't like to talk about best case scenario, lets talk average out of per say 125 shots per paper. With slugs I have not seen evidence so far those can outperform the pellets up to 100.

Watching these threads about custom built swaging dies both pellets and slugs and wondering about cost to performance ratios.

Anybody can share a honest story that the DIY (custom built) pellets or slugs can outperform the POI ?

From my engineering tinkering perspective I feel that the current mainstream pellets shapes are not designed to be shot @ 100 ??? be that a .25 or .22 ...

I am asking this question out of my frustration and not to offend any placebo opinions.

Yesterday afternoon about 5pm I toke my gear and headed out to my gun club for some 100 M fun with my MK2.
About 32-34C and the air was "thick" already and soon enough a rain started just sipping, not heavy to soak but enough to feel more comfortable shooting out of shed.
After maybe a hundred shot I noticed a white "smoke" started coming out from muzzle and the eaglevision airstripper.
I am tethering from a larger 147cc scba tank...First thought that I was not careful enough last time couple days ago refilling the bottle for tethering and maybe the YH water separator let a larger amount of moisture to the tank. (I have the orange dual towers, btw, and for years these were working flawless). Last week I had an oring bust on that tank valve and I empty the tank for service and top it up again from bare zero... It was a bit longer work party and maybe me did a mistake?
To make sure an hour ago I went to a garage, removed the bottle from the bag and place it in a big bin holding it vertically, if any water inside to sit close to the valve.
Minutes ago I opened the tank valve for tests, and no white vapor is coming out with the released HPA. So that is off the hook.
How to call this phenomena?

Now when I fill it, both gauges read the same? I stopped filling at 2900 Psi, because I didn't want more problems. It's almost like the Reg is stuck open? What do you all think?

Does anyone have any experience with the Edgun Leshiy 2 Behemouth reflex system? Thoughts....Ups/Downs?

Hi all
i've done bit of a rookie error with my first air rifle, without going into detail i've loaded 3 fx hybrid slugs into the barrel. is there a way i can remove these? maybe a long piece of plastic that i can slide down the barrel to push the slugs through? or is it safe to just fire these 3 slugs out.

Whilst on the British Airgun Forum I saw that Brit Seals would be making various replacement seals for Theoben. I confirmed this with Brit Seals - they will be making a few different seals for Theoben airguns. I was instructed to "keep a keen eye out". Details as to which seals would be offered was not given me. Also, I believe that Brit seals ships to the US.

Let’s have at it, lol! But definitely stay constructive! This is not a halo- whenever it shows, hit job. To me, IMHO, they are slugs with big hollow point. Ok. We have tons of slug options. I, however, love specialty ammo, polymags, nuclear- what I call hades and atomics, along with hunter extreme and hunter, CPHP and so on. Notice no standard dome pellets. Which shooters use successfully with pests. I just key in on the enhanced hunter/killer pellets. Hit with a brick, but not go through the roof of permission or neighbor house. Like slugs would. So after that ramble, where is the halo going? Not sure I “Feel it” with them.

Just dropping a greetings thread from a forum newbie. I joined in 2020, but have never posted.
My name is Mike. Eventually my user name will be Moke. I've just requested a change.

I'm from northern San Diego county, at the most northward point, Fallbrook (the big town in the area). I like to think I'm from Rainbow Ca, as I live within the Rainbow Creek canyon tributary to the Santa Margarita river. So, West of Rainbow.

greetings all.

Here is something that very few people have tried, or seen,....
Pesting with a Beeman P-17, and a Q-Tip as a projectile.

If a dead Mouse is offensive, please, do not open the image.

Start off zeroed, 50 rounds within an inch at 35 yards, come back in an hour shooting 3 inches low, adjust, back to 50 rounds within an inch. Come back in an hour 3-4 inches high, back and forth back and forth, up and down, up and down. Its as if the heat of the day affects it that much.

I think I need a better scope.

This is what I bought, its 2 weeks old.

I have been having fun with the cooler weather the last few days here in Oklahoma City and been sitting out on the back porch, with my Starling deeks spread out over the yard and shooting my .177 Daystate Mk4. I am shooting on Power 2 and this thing is like shooting a laser beam. The trigger is so good it is fast becoming my favorite back yard rifle. I also own an Airwolf .22 with that same great trigger and deadly accuracy, shot after shot. The bolt action is so smooth and the Rowan single shot loader makes this type of shooting a pleasure. The Minelli wood stocks on these rifles is a work of art. The two rifles are at the top of my list of backyard friendly rifles. Silent but deadly. Starlings don't have a chance. BTW, I think everyone should have at least one electronic Daystate in their collection. I found both of these rifles right here in our classifieds and though they are older rifles with the MCT technology, they are all you need to have a blast sniping those Starlings.

Just an old school back yard critter killer. Its got some ware on it but holds air forever. Its nice to sit with a pellet in the chamber and cock it when you need to or decock it if you need too. Barrel is 15.5" long. Will take paypal or usps MO.

I just got my BRK Sniper XR Sahara in .22 cal. As I was shooting it, I noticed the bottle looked small for the advertised 480cc. Sue enough, on the bottle - 0.3L. My first thought was that I had messed up and it only came with a 300cc bottle, but low and behold, when I checked, it states right there on the store's web site - 480cc. The bottle on the web site's picture even looks longer relative to the end of the barrel, compared that the one I have on my rifle.

The store I bought it from is closed, so I will of course, ask them in the morning. This is a brand new rifle bought from a reputable dealer, so I'm sure there is some logical explanation.

It's just so weird! Did this rifle once come with a 300cc bottle and I just got sent and old copy? Shot count was one of the main reasons I went with this rifle!

As the title indicates
Does anyone know where the huge inventory of FX-USA parts has gone?
- UTAH?
- Cape Fear (901)?
- Back to Sweden
- Still in litigation
- Or maybe to appear soon on the auction block

Prefer definite answer to speculation

Thanks

I know the answer to the question "how tight should my jam nut be" is going to depend on liner length, caliber, fpe at the muzzle, whether the rifle is using o-rings as spacers between the liner and the barrel housing or a carbon fiber spacer instead. There are probably a lot of other things to take into consideration that I'm not even thinking of. And I know that a lot of the answers are going to be given in terms of how many turns after hand tight rather than torque specs -- either one is fine with me. I just need a sanity check.

I've got an fx maverick 30 cal sniper with a 1:18 twist liner and a carbon fiber spacer between the liner and the barrel housing. I'm shooting nsa 54.5 grain slugs at about 950 fps, but might go to 980 fps. Either way that's in the 109 fpe to 116 fpe range. The liner is trying to spin the slug to the right, but if the jam nut is too loose, then the liner will slip (spin) to the left. I want the jam nut to be tight enough to prevent the liner from slipping, but I don't want to bend my liner. I can't really tell if the liner is slipping or not and there doesn't seem to be any way to know for sure.

Currently I'm tightening my jam nut 1/16th of a turn after fully hand tightening, but I'm wondering if that's really enough -- is 1/8th of a turn OK without bending the liner?

The FX motto "not too tight -- not too loose" causes irreversible insanity.

Looking for a Delta Wolf or possibly a Ghost in .177. I am looking for a .177 slugger. Or a .25.
I may sell, but only the full setup, scope not included.

I recently sold a Leshiy package intending to find two less expensive guns for hopefully the same money. Long story short I ended up with three Leshiys, a .22, 9mm, and this 30. I think I will keep the 22 and 9 and let this one go.

This setup will easily hit 100fpe with 50gr pellets with 160bar on the reg. This setup is indoor friendly even at 100fpe with the Behemoth moderator on the 600mm barrel.

• Leshiy 2 REPR
• Lothar Walther .30/600mm barrel
• Behemoth .30 + 1 Baffle Silencer w/ 600mm Shroud
• EdGun REPR Reg Tool
• .22L CF Air Tank
• 2 x .30 Black Magazine
• 1 Mag Holder
• 2 tins of JSB .30 Diabolo (1 unopened and 1 maybe 10 missing)
• FX Wildcat hard case
  
  Scope and mount not included. $1875 Shipped to lower 48.
  
  EDIT: I purchased it on the forum (like 99% of the guns I buy) and the gentleman said it was one of the first 100 L2s in the USA. It has been upgraded to REPR. The airgun is in excellent condition with minimal wear to be found. He had the original valve rotation mechanism rebuilt earlier this year by Brian at EGW and works 100%. The Behemoth is a QD and mfg date on the tank is 08/2021

I'm going through a learning curve on gardening this year. Glynnis and spent thousands on water troughs for planters, tons of different plants, 15 yards of bark, a crushed granite courtyard, you name it. But my pride and joy are the berries. Blackberry, two varieties of red raspberry, golden raspberry, boysenberry, and marionberry. I could give a fiddler's fart over a tomato, but berries? Me likey berries.

This year we just planted, so any fruit is just a bonus as berries generally take a couple of years. However, we have a smattering of red razzies and quite a few blacks. I built a Jerry-rigged hoop house to try to keep the birds out, but they find the smallest openings (doorway curtains) and destroy the fruit. This is a great learning year, as next year will have (hopefully) lots of fruit and I need to figure out how to keep the little bastards at bay.

This morning there were five in there at daybreak. I'd had it. Got the FX and went full Walter Sobchak from the Big Lebowski. "You see what happens when you %^& a stranger in the @$$? You see what happens?! Huh?!" The birds didn't think I was serious. After the second poof, the remaining birds suddenly became highly motivated to get out of the net dome. It wouldn't even be an exaggeration to say they appeared a bit desperate.

The only collateral damage is a couple of broken net strands surrounded by feathers. The birds are relentless and I'm learning how to play the game. You can tell I'm a sore loser. I'll do better next year with my net job.

Just an intro here , 69, M/ Tornado Alley,OK, Started shooting Air Rifles at 8yr, went through powder burners most all calibers, hunting most my life ,about 55ish, some serious health issues, started shooting Pasture style precision.22LR last few years, No competition ,,can’t hold 1MOA consistently enough to compete, Now down Accuracy Rabbit Hole again, Lolol, back to Air Rifles. My Pond has Tooo many Turtles, And the Air Rifle Gods have me firmly, I think a New gun might be the Saving Grace,,,,,,lol
