I've been shooting and enjoying a (borrowed) P-3 for a little while now. Enough that I'm leaning towards picking one up up in the near future.

I've had one issue though (aside from that butt pad that barely attaches). There's a pinging/ringing sound that I haven't heard with other PCPs. It's not loud enough to scare small game, and it's not even loud enough to care about when the rifle is fired from arms length. When I fire the gun from a normal shooting position, with my ear close to the block, it feels quite loud -- especially after an hour of shooting targets.

1. Do you have a P-3? is this normal for the gun?
2. If it's normal, is this a just "thing" for guns with balanced/assisted valves? (asking because i've seen similar comments about the uragan 2's balanced valve)
3. Is the valve of the prophet 1 quieter? (if i'm not mistaken, that was RTI's last gun with a traditional valve before switching to the assisted valve in the p2)

I appreciate any thoughts. Thanks!

.25 is too powerful and I'm getting too many pass through on my targets. I'd like to trade for a .22. I can include 4 mags and a mag holder. I may consider another eastern European pcps .22 but would prefer a compact taipan or uragan.

Just puttin along with my M3. Late to the party as I only recently purchased it a few months back. I did own one of the first versions when AOA was selling them finally sold that one to try something new, anyhow I have my new one (.22 600mm) tuned for 18gr. JSBs average 916fps. Typical 1/2inch or under very consistent groups and almost silent with FX factory moderator. I haven't added or modified any parts just a few adjustments and getting (7 mags) 196 shots on a 250 bar fill without going below the reg (70) bar. I am very happy with this gun.

So I've spent about two weeks testing all kinds of pellets over my chronograph and at 50 yards from my backyard with my Atomic XR and 22 caliber.

JTS 16.08g pellet: At about 721 fps. I got the most fpe and accuracy in my Brocock/Brk Atomic XR. I get another 1 or so fpe and 20 fps out of it than H&N Baracuda 15 which is 15.89g They (JTS) seem a little cleaner than the H&N Baracuda 15 and usually with no skirt damage/deformation as I sometimes see with H&N Baracuda 15.

I know this was covered a while ago with no reason resolution. Engraving on the Block says 250 BAR MAX. Has there been an answer if you can run a 300 BAR bottle filled to 300 BAR? Both my Impacts have 300 BAR gauges. Debating between 580CC 300BAR and 700CC at 250 BAR for more shots.

I am/was so impressed with my Brocock/Brk Atomic in .22 that I just bought a Brocock/Brk Commander XR in .22 from Central Florida Airguns (Jon Voss). I did get the micro hammer adjuster and the pass through for the folding stock adapter.

Pellet suggestions and maybe even light slug suggestions? I only shoot past 50 yards for testing, my eyes are not as good as they once were. (76 years old). Agent Orange has taken their toll of that and many other things.

Comments, tips and suggestions solicited. I shoot at 50y every day in my backyard.

I'm in CT USA

Not mine but a friends, he's getting rid of it since he's upgrading to a bottle gun. It has a small nick on left side (see picture).

It comes with 2 mags, an aftermarket side lever extender and aftermarket mag holders. Shoots the Hunter Extremes, hades and the 25gr jsb very well, he hasn't tried other pellets.

It was too hot and sticky for the outdoor range today but I wanted to play with the girls. I called up Ed and we decided some indoor bench in the AC was in order.


Top to bottom:
Theoben Evolution .22
Beeman Crow Magnum .20
Theoben Sirocco .177

They all shot great except for the Crow Mag because my dumb*** grabbed 13gr .22 pellets instead of 13gr .20 from off the shelf. With all the attention to detail Theoben put into their products youd think the end user could at least read the tin before setting off for the club.

I started the day with the Evolution. This is my favorite. It sounds absolutely amazing, is super easy to cock, and the shot cycle is gentle as could be despite being 13ftlbs.



Next up was the Sirocco. I forget where I have this one set but I believe somewhere around 13.5ftlbs if memory serves. She's snappy but still shoots great. I love the lines in the wood too. There's just something about shooting pretty guns that just adds to the experience.



I'm still a little disappointed that I didn't get to play with the Crow Mag. Of the bunch it is easily the most accurate despite putting out 24ftlbs with the JSB 13.4gr pellets. My arm would have been sore after 30+ shots at the 25m bench targets but it would have been worth it. Next time!

General Question to all of you out there. Has anyone actually counted to see how many more shots you get with a 300 bar bottle vs. the standard 250 bar bottle? I read where people say you will get 50% or 85% more shots, but can't find where someone has actually posted what they went from and to between the two bottles. Interested in what the counts were for 480cc and 300cc bottles.

Soooo... I started with a avenger .25 green mountian and it's been good and fun to tinker with but I'm thinking it might need a friend something on the long range in a .35 or so. Been looking at fx m3 or h1000x is there others in the low 2000 price range I should be looking and dreaming about

So my Father, Dick Strever was a avid pcp bench rest shooter. He was good, knowledgeable and precise. He shot up in Southern OR, Grants Pass area, sometimes in Ashland.
Then decided to build his own benchrest range here on Coase of CALI/OR border.

He passed almost a year ago. My Mother wants to sell it. I basically have everything you would need to start your very own Airgun store. Rifles, Pistols, ammo < pellets . 177 .22 .25 and some Big bore ammo. Most of these rifles are designed for benchrest. He tried FT but settled on BR shooting. He built his guns to shoot 750's. I wanna say he averaged 745 n higher on most days. He did all the counting, measuring, weighing every pellet. Cases upon cases. He made his own Flags, Basically i have Rifles, Pistols < although not many, and not for shooting from looks of them> I have pellets, Scopes, o-rings, Vintage rifles, custom, Bench rests, FT sitting bags,

Pics im gonna show are just the Bulk of it. For those truely serious about buying this collection, i will explain more and send detail pics of everything. I will even consider Delivering them myself if price is right. < really dont wanna try to package n ship this. < have to rent a truck its that large >

I have Steyr, Air Arms, FX rifles, Theoben, Benjamin Marauders, Vintage, Antiques, custom, stock.


I want to try selling it as a lot. If i get no serious offers, i will then start listing each and every item individually.
and here we go.

I will be asking 50000.00 OBO for this collection.

I bought an Epic Two and got a 300mm compact in .22 cal. for back yard fun. Was a little loud so whipped up a moderator. Shoots 18.1 gr JSB prettey good at 910 fps. But I like to fiddle so I took it apart to see what makes it tick. Really impressed with the build quality and hats off to the design. The trigger is a great design but seems the sears are made of some kind of hardend powdered metal that has a rough texture. It could be smoother so I'll hone and adjust it a little, easy fix. So next up I picked up a CZ 457 24" rimfire barrel on ebay for $90. I have a CZ 457 and know the barrel is a super tight rimfire barrel. The bore is .212 and the groove is .220 with a 1:16 twist. Going to try it for pellets before I swage some custom slugs. I fit the barrel and velocity went up to just under 1100 fps with the 18.1 gr and 950 with the 25.4 JSB. Now I need to hush this monster down. My ears are still ringing!

Just got this one from a fellow forum member, put the red dot

on it a sighted it in. What a great pistol and fun to shoot in the .25. cal.

Has anyone noticed any increase in accuracy after installing a barrel stiffener on your Ghost?

Central Oregon is infested with devastating ground squirrels ( Beldings) and as a seasoned culler, I’ve done my share of eradicating them. Yesterday, (6-29), I helped out a rancher in Bend by squishing 79 in 2.5 hours with my FX Impact 700 .22.
My record for a three hour culling is 136. While certainly not a huge number, it did satisfy my addiction.

Guys i need help the Repr gauge in my Leshiy 2 is locked and i dont know how to fix it. My Leshiy doesnt have the secondary bleed screw in the rear so thats not an option. I tried loosening the black adjustment cap and it feels like its under pressure and idk what to do.

Hey those folks with taipans. I have an issue with my veteran 2 tactical model.

I have had it about a month, and shot a couple tins of slugs through it. So maybe 300-400 shots with some different pellets thrown in for good measure. I forget the count per tin. So it’s pretty new.

I noticed the past few days it’s losing quite a bit of air overnigh…it seems to stop losing it at about 100bar. I put a balloon over the barrel overnnight and it was deflated, so that’s not the leak point.

I’m thinking about taping a balloon to the fill probe foster end and installing the probe to rule out a stuck check valve.

I’m hesitant to use soapy water on my new rifle, but will if that’s the preferred method…

Any thoughts on spots to check next?

i’m looking for part #28. is there anywhere i can order this that ships from the U.S.?

The gauge on my pcp hand pump had a liquid in it when I bought it. I just noticed it no longer does and the area around the gauge is oily. Is it possible for the liquid to pass into the rifle when I'm pumping air into it? I'm concerned the liquid might have gotten into the rifle. So far the rifle seems to be operating fine. Thoughts?

Is there a method to verify a particular chronographs accuracy?

How do you know that the chrony you are using is accurate, no matter how fancy or expensive it is ?

Many chrony's are adjustable, so that you can equally match another chrony, but how does a person correctly establish and verify the accuracy to begin with?

This is in excellent condition. Any cosmetic spots you see are either dust or smudges...cosmetically it's 95%+, glass is perfect, and mechanically is perfect. This is a premier precision/long range hunting optic that doesn't weigh a ton, under 26 oz. It is SFP and has a half mil reticle accurate at 24X which means at 12X it can be used as a mil dot reticle. All the features you need plus it focuses down to 10 yards. Comes with a small custom parallax wheel, original contents and box, Tennebraux scope covers, and a sunshade. The medium height 30mm Hawke picatinny mounts are included. Excellent glass quality...maybe the best I've looked through personally. This is a $1200+ optic easily...I'm asking a final $800 TYD in the CONUS, PayPal preferred, no trades please, thank you
