Just two shots at 60 yards.

Both hit exactly where I aimed.

Very few PCP rifles can do that !!!

Doubtless the Sidewinder is a reliable rifle for hunting !!

So I only have 15-20 feet inside my garage to shoot.
What are you all using for a target backstop?
I was thinking maybe a small portable archery target?

Hello,

I got a Gamo Coyote (similar to BSA Buccaneer and some other Gamo's) to fix with pellets stuck in the barrel. The bolt and magazine are also stuck, I think because of the pellets.

I want to remove the breech and barrel but I want to depressurize the rifle first. Since the bolt mechanism is stuck, I cannot shoot the air out. I tried loosening the pressure gauge but after a few turns, there is no air coming out and I'm afraid too loosening it too much.

Does anyone know a safe way to depressurize this rifle? Thanks for the help.

Kind regards,

Ties

Selling a Mac1 #26, actually the same one that was reviewed by Ted Holdover 14 years ago. I bought this gun here from another member in 2021, and it has been used sporadically in FT matches since then. As with all USFTs, it is perfectly solid, simple, and accurate. Hasn’t leaked or shifted POI since I first set it up for open FT in 2021. There a couple small blemishes that are shown in the photos.

Included in the package (see photos):

• the gun w/ 200 bar ninja bottle
• .177 moderated barrel
• .22 heavy barrel
• Low pressure long cylinder
• Thigh rest
• Knee riser
• Miscellaneous parts/tools
• 2 tins of JSB 10.34g .177 pellets

Scope and riser not included.






Asking $1,900 shipped PayPal FF, PM me if interested.

Thanks for looking.

"S" as in Steroid.

UPS opens in just over an hour and a half, and I intend to be there first thing - for two reasons.

First off, I applied for a part-time job, and they contacted me, wanting to set up an interview. I figured I would show my face before they schedule one to show that I'm interested and serious.

Mist importantly though, I need to pick up two 25" × 6" × 3" boxes to ship my Benjamin to Tim in California! That's right ... by noon today EST, my 392 will be headed to the 'Spa' at Mac1 for a fitness regime.

It will be rough not having it to shoot for a couple of weeks or so, but since the pump cup failed, I can't shoot it anyway.

This Theoben Rapid MKII is a .22 and was made in 2002. Fully functional and holding air with no issues. It was tuned and resealed by David Slade at Airgunwerks in March of this year. Averages 967 fps with JSB 15.89 pellets. Non-regulated, comes with two magazines. Price is $600 OBO plus $45 for shipping to the lower 48. Payment by USPS money order, bank cashier’s check or PayPal (Friends/family only, not Goods/Services).

Hi all,
I am thinking about selling my KalibrGun Cricket 1 in .25 caliber (long).
It is in good condition and functions well. Before I list it, I would like to get a sense of what the current used price is.
If anyone has recently sold or bought one, I would appreciate any info on recent going rates.


Thanks in advance!

Went on Altaros website and I can’t seem to find the booster pumps. Wonder if they stopped carrying them? I have been going back and forth from the idea of a compressor or booster with 6k N2. Finally decided on N2 with booster. Now I cant get booster.

I know there are plenty of lubes and it's not necessary to try and find some magical lube for regulators or orings, but I was thinking....I know, I know.

I use nitrogen instead of air in my airguns...so, does the lube matter at all? I mean no o2 to support detonation, so any lube that is safe for NBR etc would be ok, correct?

So, being that I have an issue "short stroking" the bolt on my new Marauder, which annoyingly results in a failure to cock the hammer.... I purchased a thumb rest from Airgun Revisions. Seemed like it might be a help for me to more positively cycle the bolt thus avoiding the failure to cock. And a simple "mod," too.



Only problem... it doesn't fit. It appears the threaded part of the barrel sits just slightly below the cut-out in the wood stock. So, I cannot get the thumb rest to engage the threads. It won't go in straight. The wood won't allow it to align properly to engage the threads.



It would seem my choices are to grind down the wood, which is going to look like poop (hesitant to do that).... or toss the thumb rest in the garbage and consider it a fairly minor $23 mistake.

Unless someone here has another suggestion! Thanks!

I milled out an aluminum tab last night and secured it with some red RTV to a scope ring. Then, I turned off the finish from a parallax wheel. Now once the wind stops blowing, I can zero at various ranges and record different elevation settings ontovthe wheel for quick reference. It's not exactly a high end system, but it works, and is easily changed should I want to shoot a different pellet in the future.

Looking to increase the shot count. What did you install?

Hello all, I just bought his from a member here. I can't get it to register any shots. I've paired it to my phone, that shows a screen reading :0: I'v attached it to my Karma SLS via the side pic rail right in front of the trigger and it reads nothing. Tried putting on the little stand and just setting it near the muzzle, under and both sides, still not picking anything up. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any input.

SECOND EDIT: Taking the suggestion of Robert to wrap the inserts in felt (see below) has led to great improvements in the ballistics of the Sig, which now seems as good or perhaps even better than the Buck Rail, further testing is required. But gone are the wild cartwheels from before. I made a two can shorty with felt wrapped inserts, such a huge difference, more experiments are needed but I ran out of felt.

So this review is upgraded from "Problematic" to "Problem Solved?" Maybe so.

FIRST EDIT: After more experiments, I've found that in .177 with the first insert can and three empty cans, it groups pretty good, seems as Good as the Buck Rail. It also seems a bit quieter, although not as quiet as running it with all four inserts. With the .22 Sig Virtus it's worthless, which I'll comment on further in the thread.

So I've upgraded my review from "Garbage" to "Problematic".

Now as for my comments about Trenier, they're the seller, they did a quick efficient job of sending it and I also got some premium pellets at a great price. But the moderator itself is problematic, if I sold them I'd pressure these moderator companies for sales support, I'd not sell them without that.

INITIAL POST:

I was hoping this Huma 40 Avalanche in .25 would be a good moderator, I saw a lot of positive reviews around, reviews that were probably paid for. It's noticably quieter than my Buckrail. However, I can't hit the broad side of a barn from 25 yards using an otherwise fairly accurate .22 Sig Virtus, the pellets go every which way and I mean wildly, many veer off by 50 feet or more, not fooling. I've tried many things like shortening and switching around the cans and inserts. I even ran it empty. All gave dangerous results, I mean that, dangerously inaccurate.

I also tried it on a .177 Avenger and it's still very inaccurate, no way will it zero. And I've no such problems with the Buckrail.

So in conclusion, the Huma Mod 40 Avalanche Moderator is an expensive piece of junk suitable for shooting off your foot, or the foot of anyone in the area. If you've the side of a barn that you want to remain in pristine condition, get this moderator. Even a French airgun competition judge would have to agree, any French contestant using this moderator in competition will lose.

Lastly, I got it from Trenier in Wisconsin for $150, so I'd like to thank them for selling me this junk, I thought they were experienced with these moderators, but it seems they've no problem selling junk.

This is a test, ... if you had a pcp rifle, that produced a shot string with the following stats, what would be your determination?
Is this a well controlled string?
Is it considered a consistent string?
Would this be a good tune for....say 100 yd shooting?

The string
AVG 997 fps
MAX 1028 fps
MIN 989 fps
ES 41 fps
%ES 4.1 fps
STDEV 11.4 fps

Hello friends Mont here. Being a long time supporter of AGN. I date clear back to the days of Ted’s Holdover blog and the “big” move to AGN. With this legacy , I wanted to take a moment to share with you first. The future direction I’m taking my magazines.

At RMAC i was approached by many people asking about my Montster Design Magazines. It became very clear I had to make them available for anyone interested.
With designs for most of the top brands of Airguns. Including Fx, Daystate, Brocock, RTI, American Airarms and now Karma. The request was real eye opening for me.
So in the next few weeks you’ll start seeing more “Monster Airguns” and less “Montster Design”.
The need for a web site and product availability has pushed me to a name that was easy to find and understand.
With this change , a web website will emerge. At first, it will be small and simple. I’m working to create something that will allow people to get a high capacity magazine for their airguns.
I have been in talks with other magazine manufacturers about adding there products to this sight. Hopefully making a place where you can find the best product for your magazine needs.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to PM me here on AGN. Or when Www.monsterairguns.com is up and published you’ll be able to contact me there.
My goal here is to build something that can grow are humble sport. Making it more fun and rewarding. As with some of the other endeavors in Airgun, I have accomplished like running Wasatch Airgun‘s league and Montster Design power wheels. I hope this will rise higher and set a high standard for our community.
Thank you for all your support, Mont

While traveling from Pennsylvania back to Northeast Indiana on our way back from visiting family, I had the bright idea to change up the boring drive across Ohio by stopping at the Twin Oaks Air Rifle Range in Chagrin Falls,Ohio. After all, I have my shiny, brand new Avenge-X Tactical and GX-CS3 Pump with me. Why not stop and take a look at the home of the upcoming ”Burning River 120?” that takes place in just a few weeks. I am considering going and it would be my first event ever so it would be nice to actually see a HFT course in person to see for myself before making the three and half hour drive back in a few weeks. Personally, I thought this would be a smart move On my part.

Turns out, it wasn’t. What I found was a beautiful piece of land that appears to be someone’s private propert. From the posts on the Northeast Ohio Airgunners’ website, I had no idea. Instead, I inferred the Twin Oaks Air Rifle Range would be something open to the public or at the least, would have a member shooting that I might ask for a tour of the facility.

instead, I found the wife and I pulling up to someone’s private drive. Boy did we feel stupid. and with no phone number to call to contact anyone at NOA Northeast Ohio Airgunners”, we sheepishly turned around and lurked around the neighborhoo, trying to make we were indeed at the correct location. It seems, we were.

So if you are a member of N.O.A. and it was your driveway that had a maroon colored F-150 with a middle aged Caucasian couple with confused looks on their Faces, show up on your driveway cameras around 3 pm today, please accept our apologies.

I recently had to rezero my scope, so I YouTube'd it.

Prior to this last time, I would shoot, click the turret a bit, shoot again, adjust the turret more and so on.

When I looked at YouTube, several videos demonstrated a "3 shot zero," and it caught my interest. What's more, several people on the forums suggested that as well.

I tried to do it, but got it wrong and my shots were even farther from my POA, so I clicked back a bunch and did it my old way (it still didn't sink in). UNTIL ... I watched a different video on the subject. Then I went out and tried it again.

This time, I was within a click or two of having a perfect group. I finished and went about my way.

Later, I was thinking about the technique. The first time, I had done it BACKWARDS! I'd held the scope on the POI and adjusted until the crosshairs were on the POINT OF AIM .... WRONG!!!! After watching the the second video, I'd held the crosshairs on the point of aim, and adjusted the turrets until the POINT OF IMPACT had moved to under the crosshairs!

Then it did hit me. You're NOT moving the crosshairs over the field of view, you're moving the field of view UNDER the crosshairs!!! NOW, it all made sense, and wow, do I feel dumb!

I'm sure I'm late to this party, but on the off chance there's someone else who is as confused as I was, maybe this will help.

What's the general consensus on PCP for hog hunting. I was considering the Macavity Ma2 30 cal for fusebox shots up to 100yds but am questioning if I should go larger. I typically take them with 200 grn 300blkout subsonic or an M&P 5.7 40grn supersonic both supressed but wanted to move over to Airgun. 45grn 30 cal rounds require accuracy while a 300grn 50 cal is more forgiving related to shot placement. I typically take them within 50yds but want to be able to reach out to 100yds. Anyone have good experience with this?

My friend in Sonoma, CA lives in a rural part of the county and has chickens and other animals to play with. He is often visited by coyotes, foxes, etc. Recently he was shooting his Crosman Woodswalker accompanied by his two Labradors (Oprah & Kamela) and a few of his chickens when he took a shot at a nice rat. It appears the rooster had personal issues with the rat and was not going to allow Kamela to help him:
