Release video is up.

when slugging a barrel, what is most desirable? tighter first half then gradually get easier kind of like a reverse choke or even friction throughout the barrel?

Hey All,

Replaced the bottle on a FX Crown I picked up and don’t need another one of these on the shelf.

FX branded 480 bottle with FX valve (off a FX Crown).

I would say 130 shipped is fair.

Who's got the skills, equipment, and distance to join the 500 yard club?!!!!!

What's everyone's thoughts on the tuxing double cylinder compressor I'll be filling 1 scba tank 45min and 1 guppy tank and big bores how hard is getting parts and what is the longevity like???

I have a 0.20 cal Condor ordered and was wondering what pellet does it seem to like? I have a good supply of 13.73 JSBs and 11.42 H&H FTTs.

SOLD please delete

I have a shoebox freedom 8 everything works good. But the delrin spacer on the high pressure cylinder leaks. I have a spare o ring kit and delrin spacer just don't feel like messing with it I'll do 200$ shipped my number is 601-641-1504

Looking for a cost effective option on this one. I know it can become very expensive for something like this. I'd like to utilize my GoPro Hero 12 Black if possible, to reduce costs. I saw one option, but they had to sort of mutilate the GoPro 11 to remove the stock components. I'd rather avoid that. Ideally, is there anything that you guys & gals know of which I could use to have my GoPro Hero 12 Black record whatever my scope sees, but then just be able to quickly remove my GoPro for use on other things? If it helps, I do also have the "Max Lens."

Thanks in advance!

Edit:
Thank you for your replies! I am squared away with this. everything is more expensive than I am willing to spend. I found a 3D print that works really well if you miraculously happen to have access to 50% reflective mirror

Hi guys, I own the bottle versions of the Wildcat, it is in .22 and I have it with a 600mm barrel and a 480 bottle, right in between the compact and the sniper, I find it really comfortable.
I’ve owned the gun for about a year now and ever since I got it I noticed quite a bit of recoil, the gun stock is very light and I believe that is the reason why its got the shakes when it shoots.
I’ve been swaging my own slugs for a while now from a Corbin press, I found that the stx superior barrel likes the .218’s better than the .217’s but even though I’ve found the right slug, I’m still having trouble making decent groups at longer distances and I believe it’s the recoil that it affecting my groupings.
I have tried a couple of different things this last week, I shot groups with the gun held really loose, once the shoot went off, I let the gun jump wherever it wanted, then, I tried a couple of groups with the gun held really tight trying to follow through and stay on target as long as possible after the shot and the groups got tighter but not great.
I have tuned the gun to be consistent, I tried different velocities from 980 down to 940, couldn’t Get groups down below 2-2 1/2 inches.
Anyone experiencing this? Any tips on holding the gun? Could it be the liner (stx superior)? Should I try different velocities? I checked that everything is tightly screwed.
BTW I have an Impact MK2 that shoots amazing, no recoil, incredible groups at longer distances.
Thanks guys,

Lucas

Hi gang. Just took delivery of this beautiful new rifle that I’ve been lusting after since it first came out. I’ve noticed a deep scratch on the bottle. Anything to be worried about with respect to integrity? Like many of you, I’ve read horror stories about compromised high-pressure canisters, causing significant damage to person and property. Would anybody suggest I reach out to the dealer To replace bottle, etc.?

Thx,

Jay Sanchez

This combo is simply wicked on small pests 40 yards and in, they simply don’t stand a chance if I get a chance to send.

I use cheap dollar store chamois cloth to clean and wax and polish my barrel... I was just wondering if anyone else using this... It is phenomenal way to clean... No more cotton patches for me..

TLDR massively bum shoulder - how much recoil does a big bore air rifle REALLY have?

I’ve had 2 major shoulder procedures that have helped but it isn’t a perfect fix.
My shoulder still subluxes.

For context - If I carry a gallon of milk with my arm slack at my side, my shoulder will sublux. I’ve developed some muscle tone to combat it but the last time I fired something that had the ability to take a deer down, it ended with a complete dislocation.

I even had an AR built with a muzzle break to try and combat the issue, which it did, however, it felt like you were being slapped in the face and I need 2 sets of ear protection to tolerate it on the range.


Very recently, I learned about big bore air rifle options. I’m consuming research (and y’all have provided so much) but I am concerned. I don’t want to invest in a “let’s just try it” deer set up just to be out the investment and up another shoulder surgery.

Here are my concerns:

1 recoil (obviously)
2 force needed to cock a deer set up (I’ve read some things that say they take 20lbs to load a round?)
3 maintenance and mods.
4 anything else? I don’t know what I don’t know.

The good - I'm a decent shot. My last DRT was Saturday. I got a squirrel with a daisy 880 at 50 feet with iron sights. Would’ve eaten it too but it was a nasty boar. Pic attached, don’t judge the glove.

The bad - yes, in addition to my lame shoulder -
I am lightweight and pretty weak.
I am not mechanically inclined
I want something reliable. I know, that’s subjective so let me clarify
I want to fill, point, shoot, clean, repeat.
I’m a lefty

I’ve just ordered my very first PCP - an Air Venturi Avenge-X .22 (it’s marketed as ambi and I am a true lefty) and a JTS portable compressor. Now all I can think about is deer season is coming and how nice a .50 Airforce Texan sounds.

But, can I handle it?

Yes, on occasion this mediocre shooter sends some sweet 1 MOA, five shot groups out to 50 yards and beyond. But mostly I’ll send 3 or 4 great shots and flub the fifth. Or, send 3 great shots and flub shots four and five. I can hold consistent 1 MOA, 3 shot groups on a good day, but am not a target shooter or competitor. I am a plinker and pester in no particular order. Once zeroed? Am off to the races. At practical ranges? 1/16th off in the “the vitals”? Matters not to the pests… DRT! While I may be mistaken, I believe that three, shot groups better reflect what I can do with my PCPs. Of course understanding that my PCPs group better than I can hold.., Thoughts?

Screen shot attached. Thanks in advance for looking

I wanted to grab a variety of grains. the super light "Predator" will be used for long distance plinking and just messing around. The others are a variety of grains I intend to use for small/medium game. I know a .25 would have been better than a .22 for this, but if I can get myself a turkey this year then that would be really cool; that's what the heaviest grain in my list is for. My main goal here is to have something that could dispatch a turkey using a .22.

For the turkey hunting, I can't imagine I'd be more than like 8-10 meters out max. For the long range plinking, that's just going to be for shooting at inanimate targets for fun, basically just to see how far I can push the rifle.

Thoughts?

I'm trying to stick to Pyramyd because I am in the US and also their "buy four" deal.

Edit: I also forgot to mention that this specific Maurador will be the "Regulated" model with the "Lothar Walther" barrel.

Anyone used these cheap Audrius internal regulators from Lithuania that are sold only on eBay for around $70? Like this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/162104913497. I want to try to drop it one in my Marauder, but I'm not sure. Huma reg is $120. I sent a message to the eBay seller (2014_rusy) asking about some specs and instructions and heard nothing back. Suspicious . Anyone use these regs, and what's your experience? Worth a shot or not?
