….to Woody, cause this Skout of mine has given me plenty of that lately, ha ha!!

I named her after a famous Bond girl. Very sexy gun, if I can say so myself.

All kidding aside, I’m not the greatest of shooters, I still have a long way to go as this is only the start of my 3rd year competing, but it’s great to know my equipment is up to the task!

I'm looking to sell some gear and pick up a rifle that is more special to me. And that means wood. 30 caliber ideally, 25 would be OK if its ultra high power tunable and can run slugs.

The AvengeX probably comes to mind, but I do not really like it's stock, and that's still underpowered even in .25 for what I'm seeking.

I think the FX Crown in Walnut is the best looking air rifle I've seen. Benjamin Cayden, Hatsan Neutron Star and the like are also pretty classy. And of course the Seneca Eagle Claw and Recluse are beautiful but not regulated. I'm not looking for a hunting rifle so much as a high power hole puncher with refinement.

Thing is I don't have FX Crown money and I would like it to be regulated unlike the Benji & Hatsan.

You guys probably know some sweet, modern, tunable high power 25/30 rifles with a nice wood stock that I'm forgetting about. Show me the way!

If I have to sell some crypto or metals and pick up a FX Crown so be it, but I would love to see what's out there and why you would recommend it. I might even think about a 22 if it's very tunable and can shoot regular pellets and heavy slugs with an easy adjustment. Gotta be pretty wood though

The FX King looks pretty nice feature wise even though I prefer the Crown in terms of looks

Hi, all. Found out my .22 HW30s is not something the local law wants me pesting with.

That's too bad, but I'm taking the opportunity to go back to the drawing board.
Priorities:

• accuracy
• quiet/moderated
• enough power to brain a grey squirrel @15yds

All of the research I've done tells me that I need a PCP.
I really like the idea of finding a (second-hand) AA S200 / CV200. It seems that for $3-400, I'd have an AG that can do all of the above, plus more. (I was sad to see that I missed out on 2 good examples sold here in the Classifieds over the last 3 weeks)

Are there any other PCP favorites in the sub-$400 range that I absolutely must consider?

So I have a Yong Heng and I was using it with a 28qt Coleman cooler full of water and ice, but I wanted to add a radiator so I wouldn't have to use ice anymore and make a closed loop cooling system.
this is a test setup and not everything is screwed into its final position.
So, first I tried it without the bottles with ice you see it the picture. The temperature rose to 75 pretty quickly and I stopped the test. The water going into the system was ambient temperature and the return water before the radiator was warm and after going through the radiator was a little cooler but still about body temperature. BTW, ambient temp is about 27 Celcius today.

Then I added the 2 bottles in the picture and the temperature still rose to about 72 or 73, but a lot slower than before. The water returning from the yong heng was still warm, above ambient temperature, so I left the radiator fan running to cool it down a little more. Water was exiting the radiator at just about room temperature. The water in the cooler was cold, but not too much, since the plastic bottle isolate the ice quite a bit.

Then I removed the bottles and just put ice straight in the water:


It was a lot of ice, covering the whole top of the cooler. In the picture most of the ice had already melted. The compressor temperature stabilized at about 60C until the ice ran out. While there was ice in the water I turned the radiator far off, because the water returning from the compressor was still colder then room temp and the radiator was actually warming the water back up again noticeably and helping to melt the ice faster.

So basically, from I gather, running the compressor with a closed loop and radiator seems to be impossible, unless I'm missing something.

BTW, adding the copper tubing and water cooling to the stainless pipes really worked well. The temperature on every stainless pipe was a lot cooler after the copper than before the copper tube and the the amount of water that would come out every time I would purge the water was noticeably more then it used to be before I added the cooling to the stainless pipes.

I’m selling my beautiful Lelya 2.0 in .22. The gun is bone stock as it came from Edgun West. Selling to pay for a . Comes with 4 magazines, fill probe and a UTG soft case. No leaks. Asking $1400 shipped paypal f&f please. Sorry I don’t have the cheesy box it came in. The lighting was weird when taking these photos that’s why they aren’t the same . It’s more like the top pic.

When filling an FX dreamline, the tube says Max fill is 230bar.. is that the rating for just the tube or the valves also?? I have a 250bar bottle on it and would like the extra couple shots from the 20psi

Hi Friends, this is my first post. I have been lurking for a while but wanted to jump into the deep end with a few questions.

I've been on a kick lately of obtaining the smaller diminutive low power break barrels. My latest acquisition being a slavia 618. However, I've come to realize that guns of this nature are basically extinct from a new production perspective.

What are the smallest break barrels currently being produced? I have a hw30 and compared to the slavia the thing seems like a chonker. I'm aware of the cometa 100, but that seems about it. What guns am I missing?

Up for sale is a classic, powerful, unregulated (low fill pressure) .25 Daystate Air Ranger. No regulator and no fuss! This is a great hunting rigTopped with an Athlon FFP 6-24X50 Argos on BRK mounts. This one has a full Huggett Shroud (shroud with moderator). The Huggett is very attractive and more importantly, effective in making 47 ft/lbs quiet! This Air Ranger is in great shape with just minor handling marks.

The Air Ranger has a great trigger and impressive accuracy (above target is 2 - 5-shot groups at 30 yards, 1 below is at 50 yards). The walnut stock on this one is a real looker with fantastic tiger stripe figuring. Comes with (3) 10 shot factory magazine. Bottle has been upgraded to 480cc carbon fiber. PayPal sale. Deal by PM. Price for package is $1,235 $1,199 $1075 shipped and insured. Don’t need the scope and rings? Price for just the Air Ranger is $950 $850 shipped. No trades please.

A summer or two ago I asked if .20 was dead. It generated a lot of interest from shooters, though nothing from ammo manufacturers…
Anyway, I stumbled upon a nice older R1 in .20 around Christmas and that’s become my main rifle. The Blue Ribbon scope is smaller than I’m used to, but the clarity has allowed for longer shots than I’m used to. Really happy.
Then the other day I finally got lucky with a good price on my bucket list rifle, a Crow Magnum in .20 so I have to say…guess I’m all in on .20 now!
Luckily the R1 came with 12 tins of H&N

Bought a storage unit in Washington today, saw 3 SCBA tanks with micro hoses, and a few other items that lead me to bid. Digging through the unit I found 4 SCBE tanks, gauges, hoses, etc. I also found 2 magazines, a .22 synthetic stocked Marauder, and a few thousand pellets.

1. It still had 2200 PSI so it held pressure for who knows how long. (last mail in the unit I saw was 2017)
2. First magazine ran fine, did nothing but insert, chamber a pellet and fired 1 round. Worked fine.
3. Second magazine I tried to insert and there was a depression in the black plastic of a different size, it was thicker, and it would not fit into the magazine space.

The thicker magazine was the same design, held 8 shots. Didn't fit.


Any suggestions on where to get the proper magazines for this new "to me" rifle?

(And yes, it was a great unit for the price considering what I got.)





Thanks!

I bought this AC/DC JTS 4500 psi air compressor last year when I got my first pcp airgun. I’ve since bought a Daystate compressor and a tank and this is just sitting around gathering dust. I used it maybe a month. I have all the tools and replacement parts that came with it.

Yesterday was my new Katranas 2nd day on the job and it did not disappoint! Although a slow day for iguana removal, the Katran performed every step fo the way!

I removed a total of 29 with a total recovery of 20.

15 of the 20 were females, 2 had laid eggs and the remaining 13 carried a total of 482 eggs! Each bag contains 100 eggs except the first one on the left that's holding 82.

Most of these were recovered from one of my permissions surrounding a canal location where you normally don't see this many. And all these holes are their burrows, they can go as deep as 20ft and can interconnect like an ant colony, but not to the full extent.

I also managed to successfully recover a 21gr javelin slug from on of the iguanas.

I have two Yong Heng compressors, both gifted to me. One from my next door neighbor, and one from forum member Mike in Nashville. The one from my neighbor had been doing just fine until a recent session where I presume I overworked it, filling all my guns and topping off my 45 minute scba & a Airhog buddy. bottle It got up to 4000 psi filling my 45 minute scba tank, but no higher. The very next fill session it wouldn't budge over 2400 psi.
So I ordered parts, (from Amazon, coming from China) and turned to the unit Mike in Nashville gifted me. He told me up front that he had accidently run it w/o the water pump plugged in, but he did provide a new piston. I installed it even though I didn't have new gaskets. It ran fine for one session, but also wouldn't fill past 4000 psi. The next session it wouldn't build any pressure, so I ordered another gasket set.

In the meantime, I looked on e-bay and found a seller in California with gasket sets (including the second stage piston), so I ordered one. When it arrived, it came with TWO gasket sets and a complete piston! So I installed the new piston & gaskets set on the unit given to me by the neighbor. The piston fit very tight, and now it's locked up and won't pump at all.

So I finally dropped some coin on a new Yong Heng unit from Amazon, the one w/o the auto cut-off feature, and a 1.8 kilo watt motor. It looks just like the other two, with the exception of the oil fill cap - it is not the breather type oil cap, just a basic oil fill cap.

WISH ME LUCK!!!


EDIT: and I still can't spell

Having selflessly violated my New Years resolution (to simplify my life as much as possible) in order to give my shooters additional opportunities for Cajun Classic practice, I rearranged the (usually) engraved-in-stone TEXtreme monthly schedule by plugging an extra AAFTA-style weekend into the usual Bench-Rest Silhouette weekend date. Hopefully both rifle and pistol shooters benefitted from my resolution violation.

Rest assured any rumors I might have mentioned to my squad-mate in Fridays pistol match any nefarious intentions to (quote), “Give those Brocock guys a dose of humble pie”, or “Open a can of Sixties Crosman whoop-ass on those Brocock boys” is completely, utterly… TRUE! Thankfully Ol Faithful was ON; and so was I. Also thankfully, I made no such bold predictions about Saturdays rifle match!

Though only four shooters contested the sixty-shot pistol match, in my imagination it might as well have been sixty shooters! My 54/60 carried the day for Match Winner braggin’ rights; but of course I’m beyond braggin’. So I won’t mention cleaning 8 of the 10 lanes, being down only one point after eight lanes… or getting caught in the trap of my own making in Lane Nine’s new pop-up hunting blind with an abysmal 1/6! Ever heard the term “shoulda/woulda/coulda”? How about, “Wish I could get that lane back”?

Ol Faithful is a 1960s-vintage Crosman 187 Co2 rifle-to-regulated-HPA-tank pistol conversion of my own making, topped with a Japanese-made 4-12X Bushnell Trophy scope. She shoots 8.4 grain JSBs about 770 FPS.



Jim Clarke’s excellent 49/60 nabbed second place with his 4-16x50 Hawke Optics equipped .22 Brocock Atomic XR, shooting 14.43 grain pellets at 605 FPS. Great shooting, Jim.

Ten shooters contested Saturdays rifle match, some shooting a second score-card with pistols (on the rifle course). And as if shooting a pistol on a rifle course isn’t (Troyer) difficulty enough, extremely gusty winds to 40+ MPH created quite the improbable pistolero challenge. Derrick Wall took little notice.

Derrick’s 49/60 rifle score was good for the Match Winner hat pin and engraved TEXtreme Match Winner pellet tins. His .177 BSA GOLD Star wore a Sightron SIII scope, and shoots 13.43 grain JSBs 815 FPS. Fittingly enough, Derrick captured the set of three engraved TEXtreme Match Winner GOLD pellet tins, and black & GOLD Match Winner hat pin. Phenomenal shooting in those gale-force winds, DW!



Billy Davison wasn’t far behind in Second Place with a fine 47/60 score. Billy’s FX Crown was shooting 13.4 grain pellets 819 FPS, and was scoped with an Athlon Heras 6-25x50 scope. He nabbed a set of three Second Place TEXtreme pellet tins (of his own engraving). Excellent shooting, Billy.

David Turner’s 46/60 would have claimed the Third Place TEXtreme pellet tins; however I either failed to award them, or he left before I could. Regardless, I’ll put your name on them and award them belatedly, David. DT also shot 13.43 JSBs (at 800 FPS) in his Daystate Red Wolf, equipped with a Sightron SIII scope. Good shooting, David.

Armed with three good excuses to make the trip, PelletGage Jerry Cupples made the drive from North Carolina. Jerry not only shot Saturdays rifle match, but picked up his refurbished Sheridan Silver Streak by and from Jeff Cloud, and also accepted my invite to view the eclipse on the eclipse centerline at Ranchito Robinson. Jerry also donated two PelletGages for door prizes at Saturdays shooters meeting. Many thanks Jerry. We sure enjoyed having you join the fun, Buddy.

Many thanks also to Airguns Of Arizona for their primary sponsorship of TEXtreme Airgun Sports.

Per previous announcements of changes to TEXtreme’s 2024 first-quarter match(es) schedule, our May matches are changed to Extreme Rifle and Pistol Field Target, to allow shooters extra EFT competition to prepare for our June Extreme Field Target Grand Prix weekend. Taking place Friday, May 31 through Sunday, June 2, shooters will compete not only for the richest TEXtreme prize list of 2024, but also points in the 2024 Extreme Field Target Grand Prix national competition. More details will be forthcoming in a separate match announcement.

Happy Shooting Y’all,
Ron & Maggyy

Since i have been labelled an "FX hater" by some here for my at time negative comments on the M3 ...thought id post this ..

I shoot regularly in the evenings just before sunset to relax from a days work............plus the evenings usually produce excellent conditions for the Airgun ...ie no wind.

Just recently i machined up a new receiver block to intergrade with my 100% bonded ( Solid ) barrel assembly......it has helped tremendously in the POI issue i hate so much that the M3 suffers from.

So...... yeah i will openly criticise the M3...... but if i was a true "FX Hater" , i am sure i wouldn't shoot it as much and put so much into it !!

I bought a GX pump modelGX-E-L3 at an auction. The other day appeared new in the box and it looked new in the box. It pumps air, but it will not build pressure . This is my first PCP style Aaron and pump. I know nothing about these things. Any suggestions?
I have taken out the pressure relief and cleaned anything and put it back together. Sprayed it down with soapy water everywhere to look for leaks so far, I found nothing.

The Pathfinder XR measures a carbine length 616mm with its folding stock deployed, and just 416mm with it retracted, resulting in a rifle that is incredibly fast onto the target and useful in tight situations. It weighs just 2.9kg (6.4lbs), and yet delivers over 200 shots. Offering superb accuracy at hunting ranges out to 40 meters and beyond, the Pathfinder XR’s slick sidelever action enables fast reloading from it's all metal magazine

SOLD TO ALLENH

Up for sale is an Air Arms TX200 Hunter Carbine in .177 with beech stock. It's a beautiful rifle and fits me like a glove. It has a Rowan Engineering TX200 Cocking Lever Grip in place of the stock part. I shot ten Crosman Premier Heavy 10.5 grain pellets over my chronograph and here are the results in order from first to last: 735, 728, 728, 722, 716, 718, 707, 719, 724, 712

I really hate to sell it but I don't have the time to shoot it as you can tell from all the other air rifles I have listed for sale. I bought these with the intent to put them through their paces and pick and keep my favorites. That didn't happen as my father became very ill and I was his primary caregiver.

So now I just plan to keep a handful that I cannot part with and I hope to find good homes for the rest.

I am looking to get $550 plus shipping and insurance via Paypal. Please add the Paypal fees if you would like to pay via good and services for your protection. I can also accept Zelle and USPS money order. Continental US only. Please no low ball offers as they will be ignored.

Thank you,

Taso
