When the wife or a friend shoots with me, there's a opportunity to shoot the same pistols. This is great for some friendly competition. Or having both ready without changing cartridges.

Do you own duplicate pistols?

Will the Fx impact regulator fit in the Panthera? I installed the extra high pressure Huma regulator and the recharge is very fast. The issue is the regulator drops in pressure over a period of time after shots and can’t hold the set pressure. For example I set the reg to 155bar and after a couple magazines it is at 152 bar with 170bar left on the fill. The stock regulator re charge was extremely slow but eventually got to set pressure. The stock regulator eventually creeped about eight bars higher then held that pressure. My idea was to get the impact high pressure regulator vs extra high so it had a bit softer springs to help the regulator recharge to my set pressure.

Somewhat struggling getting the SD/ES to tighten up. Info below. My pellet M3 is in the single digits but this one is hovering a bit.

Impact M3 .25 700MM
Slug Liner/Tungsten Hammer
Reg 1: 190
Reg 2: 155
Macro: 15
Micro: 4

Max speed is about 1035 fps or so. I know people say to be 3-5% lower than max. I could cut a touch more speed to get it in the 980’s?

Hey folks,
I'm a couple weeks late posting this. But I wanted to give a shout out to Derek at tenacious air guns I purchased from him and he worked his magic tuning it to approximately 105 foot pounds of energy. It has an awesome trigger and the first air rifle I've ever owned that has a little bit of recoil LOL. I have it cited in at 30 and 50 yards. 75 yards and 100 yd. First air rifle I've owned that I'm putting slugs in the bullseye at 100 yards. I still have some work to do as far as my shooting abilities with it but I'm getting very close. This gun is amazing. I put a discovery Ed lht generation 2 3 x 15 x 50 ffp on it and it seems to work well.
It is my first ffp scope and I'm learning. As I said earlier I have it site in 30 to 50 yards, at.50 on my reticle. 75 yards at 1.5 and 100 yards at 3.75ish.actually hit a golf ball last shot of day at 100yards.
The scope has zero stop and I really do not know anything about how to use it. I've always used my reticle in the past and adjusted accordingly but this time I decided to dial a note my spots. Any advice on how to use the zero stop would be appreciated. I will post photos of my first set of targets at 1500 yards and the private club I belong to and the range. Did I say I really love this rifle.

P.S. more photos coming with better groups

My review of the new Red Panda Bench 30 Cal...

Part 1

Part 2

Looking for some experienced input on a first air rifle choice. Use case is quiet as possible backyard plink/pest control up to ground hogs ~50yd range. Leaning toward .22. Looking at used over new but all suggestions are welcome. Leaning toward bullpup for overall compactness while retaining barrel length. I don't mind tinkering and tuning but I want something that is durable and accurate that I overall won't have to worry about.

FX Crown MK1 with scope ~$1k
FX Wildcat MK3 ~$900
Taipan Veteran Long ~$1k
Kalibr Cricket 2 ~$1.2k

What would you choose?

hello all. just joined from southwest arkansas. I own mostly pumpers, but recently got my first PCP (Mrod .25)

looking forward to reading and learning

Up for sale is a lnib element nexus gen 1 5-20x50 ffp mrad scope or will trade for fx impact or delta or alpha wolf plus cash depending on deal.

If your In the market for an accurate , powerful springer then you could do far worse than a HW 98 . This at 50 yards 177 AEA 8.72g pellets about 10 shots , getting dark and In the rain . One sight In shot . Awesome gun .

Is what i told my lovely bride. But i think i've used that line one to many times. A small town about 20 miles from my place had their community garage sales this weekend and wouldn't you know it. The fella had some older tins of cphp out on a table and i ask him what he used to launch them. He brought out a to1 34 in imaculate condition, says he bought it new and maybe ran a half tin through it. Cheapo barska air rifle scope. He lost the sights to it but it does have a baby pickle on the barrel. I do feel a little guilty at what price he asked for it, and he threw the pellets in. Needless to say, it came home. The last thing i was expecting to find today and now i owe the wife supper tonight just because she said so.

Want one of these? They work awesome. I have two so this one goes. I love these battery compressors. No need for tanks to fill your gun. Tanks not so good anyway if your filling 4000PSI as many guns now do. Easy portability. Battery lasts through many top offs. Use your Makita 18V batteries if you want. You can use other 18V batteries if you buy a 10 dollar adapter. You can even buy a plug-in power supply if you prefer that at home. Asking 260.00 shipped to CONUS PP/FF preferred.

Anyone have any experience with Hawke USA service center? Both my compacts side focus wheel no longer functions correctly and have contacted service center by email to receive return shipping # as their web page instructs but have heard nothing....needless to say disappointed in both the product and their slow or non response!

OKCGC AirHead Group had their N50 Match this past Saturday, the 5th of May! Weather was great up until Match #2. But for match #1 it was nice, and the scores showed that! We just could not hold off the rain and had to call off match #2. Bummer for everyone. We let them make that call.
Had some pretty good scores today! Mr. Mike Shultz came out and shot a 747 with 41 X’s!! Great shooting with his Thomas HPX. Butch Everett 247 with 28 X’s also with his new Thomas HP! Ben Womack and his Vulcan 723 with 19 X’s. Bob Benda did really well using an FX Crown 720 and 19 X’s..
Sportsman had 2 in there and Kelly was on top with his 730 and 27 X,s, Don Faulkenberry shot a 703 with 11 X,s.
Pro had 3 show up and they did good. Larry Lawrence with 749 43X’s. Barney Alexander 748 and 54 X’s. Mike Tokar with 739 and 29 X's
Here are some photos and the score sheet.

Was wondering if there is database for say 177 and 22 calibers of ballistic coefficients. If so, please point me in the right direction. If not, would this be a worthwhile undertaking for this forum. At least to select these 2 calibers to start out. I am talking about pellets like Crossman Premiers, H&N, JSB and RWS that most serious shooters use. Just a thought. Thanks in advance for all replies.

Found a ton of these guys coming up out of the mulch at a customers house.

Who plans on playing hide and go seek/shoot with these little buggers this year?



Fresh shed



Even got lucky to catch one in the nymph state.

Because of shoulder issues I've decided to sell my FWB 124D. Bought it a couple years ago from member ChuckHunter.
I have replaced the barrel pivot screw & pivot set screw, breech seal and True Oiled the stock to correct steam damage
from someone trying to lessen a dent..See Right side butt photo. Stock turned out pretty good. I added a nice leather sling.
I also made flat washers and went with internal tooth star washers instead of the external tooth washers for the forearm
screws. As from the photos you can see the stock has compression lines and small dents. I'd say the metal bluing is in
the 80-85% range. Some minor rust freckling towards the end of the barrel but hardly noticeable. Rifle was made in the 1977-78
range and is still in good condition for it's age. When I replaced the barrel pivot screw I looked down though the transfer port
with a flashlight and seen the piston seal and based on it's color it's a ARH Mongoose. The automatic safety does not engage
when cocked so I suspect the tab on the plastic trigger is damaged or broke. I'm including extra parts which will include the
sought-after OEM metal trigger. As far as chronograph data goes....I'm at 86 ft above sea level.

Both Air Arms and JSB 7.33 gr. pellets 850's fps
7.89 gr. High 830's fps

I upgrade my Delta Wolf with new valve and new barrel tensioner clamp! This is makes a lot of change and much more accuracy! I still like Fx for off hand shooting because it's much lighter and much more balanced! But for bench rest shooting style Delta wolf work even better than Red Wolf.

The reason I say this is Gerhard has the perfect mix of hunting, rifle setup and product review. In My Honest Opinion.

So here is my assumption in where the level of precision falls in trying to create a pecking order amongst all the various brands of slugs:

Altaros
Griffin
Air Velocity Sport (AVS)
FX/Rocky Mountain Reloading (RMR)
Haendler & Natermann (H&N) (Varies... assume using their best line: Heavy Slug)
Neilson Specialty Ammo (NSA)
ZAN

There were a few I didn't rank due to having no knowledge about their performance... and correct me if I am wrong, but I am assuming if I haven't read any posts about the following brands, they likely are not good and/or not intended as 'precision' slugs(?):

JSB
Daystate
Patriot
Wildman
Seneca

SO... what order would you put them in, regarding precision only (not cost, etc)?

Any other precision centered brands out there that I'm missing? Any small batch mom & pop outfits I missed that deserve a spot on the list?

Bonus points if you want to share how much you typically pay for each slug for various brands and/or have any tips on how to get them cheaper comparatively to the greater online storefronts, such as who sells in bulk and what they charge in various quantities for big purchases, etc.

Thanks in advance for your opinions and any info you're willing to share!!!


*Disclaimer: My list is based purely off of reading what others experiences have been/word of mouth. I am new to PCP and have only ever previously used pellets in my years of shooting springers.

My Maverick is currently being repaired for the next 4-6 weeks, so I am looking for another Airgun so I am not without my shooting fix. I have thinking about something like a Huben K1 or a Western Rattler. Is there anything else I should consider?

I've only shot fire arms and my rifle groups are decent but handgun groups are atrocious (I'm new to handguns). I've love to see your best airgun groups.

Stopped at High Pressure Pneumatics while on a road trip with my son. Wow I was impressed. I felt like I was in air gun paradise. He had a lot of inventory and he is expanding. Check him out.

I recently purchased an FX King .22 600mm barrel. I was going back and forth between the 500mm and 600mm, especially when the 600mm comes with the stx superior heavy liner. I decided on the 600mm and was hoping it would shoot slugs and heavier pellets. I didn't have any slugs so I tried some pellets. The regulator is set at 110 bar. The rifle is easy to adjust the velocity, and I made adjustments to match the optimum velocity for each pellet, 880-930 fps. The lighter pellets, 15.9 - 21.14, didn't work so well. Even at the approx optimized velocity, I would get fliers which would open up the groups at 50yds. I would get two rounds touching and then two or more 1-2" away. I finally tried some 25.4 exact jumbo monsters. After adjusting the velocity up and down, I settled on 957 fps. The gun shot very low velocity spreads, and ended up shooting some great groups. This was my first outing with the new rifle, but it looks like it will shoot the heavy pellets quite well. I will experiment more as I have ordered additional slugs and heavy pellets. At 957 fps, I was on setting 21 on the macro-adjuster and 2.25 on the micro-adjuster. I shot a total of 64 shots and was still above the regulator setting. At that velocity, with that pellet, I was getting 51 ft/lbs of energy.
I really like the airgun and the GRS stock. It is light, efficient, powerful, and easily adjustable. The GRS stock is very comfortable for me and is easily adjusted to make it fit your shooting style. I actually like the location of the pressure gauges as you can monitor your bottle pressure very easily. It is simple to adjust your velocity to match your activity whether hunting, plinking, shooting for groups, or looking for a massive shot count. Attached are the last three groups I shot with the 25.4 monsters at 50 yards. The gun seemed to be settling down and the group to the left was my last group. All are 5 shot groups.
