Semi-auto seems fun and practical. Why would someone not want one?

Happy, so happy to share - Katran Compact in .22, oh Yeah! Will try to make this short. I'm down to just one pcp, the L2 350mm in .22. So, I convinced the wife to go from a HW30 springer to the PCP world. Watched the AN classifieds and picked up a fine excellent example of the Katran. Finally, between work, storms, neighbors, and mosquitoes ... just zeroed in with CPHPs. Oh my, this thing is on par if not better than my first pcp, Taipan Veteran 1 Compact in .22. Honestly, I passed really early on when looking at the Katran for my first PCP - odd looking tadpole thing with a potentially wobbly folding stock. I have come away with the same girlish giggly experience I had with my past Vet. I was practically stacking pellets! Now, can't wait for the wife to get out of bed and try out HER first pcp. The Katran Compact with the Optisan scope ... potent combo. I try to do most of my PCP outfitting and research right here on AN and buy in the classifieds for many reasons. Thank you AN community! Norm PS I want it for myself.

Have an Epic 2 LW polygon barrel 550mm. Comes with transfer port and valve and o ring. Slight scuff by muzzle on the 1/2x20 adapter. Lightly used. No more than 40-50 shots. $265 shipping included, PayPal F&F , conus.

Always looking for CPHPs at Walmart. Like normal they didn't have any. What they did have was a crossman premiere pointed pellet. Of course it was made in Spain but for $3.99 I'll give a them a try.
Weight wise they're supposed to be 14.3 grain, I checked about 15 or 20 pellets all weighed 14.3 to 14.4.
They're supposed to be pointed pellets and the outside of the tin shows a very pronounced point. They look more like a rounded off h&n barracuda.
Very clean no shavings at all inside the tin, not dinged up at all.
To answer the million-dollar question; how did they shoot? A lot better than I thought they would. 15 yards indoors, three power red dot site and all holes are touching. Just like I would expect from CPHPs. As soon as the weather breaks I'll try them outside but that might be a while.

Looking between these two lengths for which would be handier to carry in the denser woods. Would have a moderator on either but main difference is the added length of the 600 with the smaller plenum being easier to maneuver than the 500 that comes with the larger plenum. Which would you go with as being easier to get around? Would be shooting pellets 95% of the time in 25 cal. Pretty new to air rifles.

I am new to Air Rifles. I would like your feed back on recommended first gun. I would like to semi auto used for target practice or hunting. I have been told FX would be the way to go, but no semi auto. I am looking to more of a tactical style. I would appreciate input.

I see talon tunes has them in stock. Anxiously awaiting for real world reviews.

More for budget offerings. Will do video descriptions, it’s easier. $50 shipping included. PayPal F&F, conus. Thank you.

I've seen 15 gr pellets mentioned several times but all that I can find is 15.89. Are there any true 15 gr out there or is all the talk about JSB 15 gr actually the 15.89?

Have 2 tins 33.95 JSB MK2 pellets unopened, 2 tins H&N barracuda 30.8g , 1 unopened, other has about 40 left. 1 H&N Hornet almost full, guessing about 125 left. Lastly 1 half full tin of predator GTO 16.5g . $60 shipping included, PayPal F&F , conus, thank you.

Have you been looking for a zero eye relief prism scope in the states? Maybe you've found the Element "immersive series" coming in at over $600? Yuck! This Immersive brand scope comes from the same factory, at less than half the price. I have ONE of these available for $299 SHIPPED. THIS IS BRAND NEW, NO FINGERPRINTS (can include fingerprints for an extra fee )

Evening everyone.
I just made a terrible mistake. Two of them actually. First I cranked up some old school music to volumes in excess of neighborhood standards. Then I organized the lower section of my gun case. I found four scope rings, a red dot sight and an air pistol I forgot I had. Four different calibers of seven types of pellets, two dozen co2 12 mg cartridges and more bb’s than I have shot in my entire life. Now it’s all organized. Never do this, it will drive you to drink.

I have the .30 cal Red Panda that was tuned for slugs directly from Karma. I shoot a 77 grain boat tail slug at 950 fps at 200 yards. I'm setting up the RP to shoot 200 yard bench rest targets.

Karma/Donnny FL presets the #1 regulator at 3000 psi and suggest that it should not be changed by the user.

However, my best tune for 77 grain slugs at 950 fps is to set my #2 regulator at 2950 psi. Now that I have a digital manometer on the #2 regulator, it takes an average of 1:45 seconds after each shot to obtain 2950 psi for the next shot.

The longer my shooting session, the longer it takes to get back to 2950 after each shot. The last shot I took today took 2:30 seconds.

I shoot tethered and have my external tank set to 3100 psi.

I believe it takes so long to refill the plenum to 2950 psi for each shot is because the #1 regulator and #2 regulator are both almost the same. 3000/2950 psi

As I mentioned, Karma/Donny FL does not recommend to make any adjustments to the #1 regulator. It's a pain the arse to wait 2 mins before each shot!

So, how do I do it? I just want the #1 regulator to be 10-20 psi higher or 3020 psi instead of 3000 psi.

Recently I purchased several scratch and dent tins at the Midwest Airgun Show. I sorted several tins and set aside all the pellets with dented skirts. These were from JSB Monster Redesign “Shallows”. As you can see they are pretty beat up.



I took these to the range and shot them at 50Y through my Thomas HPX. I also had a tin of damaged MRD “Deep” 25.4 and figured they were good enough for practice. Then I shot pellets that I had sorted with no bad skirts. It was a steady 15 MPH wind so the groups aren’t the best but good enough to compare good and bad skirts. The Apolo Monster 25.4 pellets shot horrible. JTS and AEA 25.4 were meh.

Bulls 2, 3, 4 and 10 were shot with damaged skirts. The other bulls were shot with undamaged skirts.

You be the judge…

Vixen long with 2 mags and fill probe. $1000 shipped

This is my current refill situation. The tank is out of hydro and I do not know anyone in the area that has a compressor...to refill on the regular. Given the current set up what are my option in terms of a smaller tank? I have been thinking about the smaller carbo fiber paintball tanks...Only looking to fill a tank to 3000 psi.....refilled a PROD.... What kind of adaptor would i need to transition into that they of tank.? Any and all information would be great.

Hey all! I live on a farm with a fairly long flat driveway, probably 175 yards. We have a major ground squirrel infestation, burrows all along the driveway. Anyway, i'm wondering what your go to rifle would be in situation like this?

Just got this nice pair.I lubricated them a little, they were completely dry, but they shoot very accurately.

So i may or may not regret this as i have a long standing love for the Impact lineup. But i want to try a Mora and my wife is not thrilled that i spend thousands on air rifles and acc lol
So i picked this gem up at the beggining of the year and set it for slugs. It has heavy slug liner 1/16, Carbon liner sleeve, Slug power kit and pin probe installed, Tungsten hammer wieght, has long Copper backbone top rail, ST low profile arca swiss bottom rail, DFL Yokozuna. I have ALL factory parts .copper top/bottom rails,valve spring,hammer wieght,pellet probe an 1/24 pellet liner. In perfect condition . shoots as good as it looks. Asking $2,200 Shipped which is a pretty fair price. The photo is the one i had on hand in my phone as i make this add but anyone of interest feel free to inbox me and i can send u as many photos,videos or proof of function as you need.. Thank you
Things i would trade for is FX DRS Pro, Karma red panda, Rti mora, delta/alpha/black wolf, FX Leopard . Send offers. Thank u.

Barra 250z .25 cal
31gr Franco slugs @970-975
68y

Nothing special about this other than the mic picked up the sound of the slug hitting and it’s a good one. Still makes me smile every time.

The (large) valve body cost in Holland 33.95 euro ( 39 dollar) which is in my opion very expensive for what it is.
A complete valve cost 115 euro (132 dollar) for that kind of money it worth making them my self.

What is the the material the valve is made from, Nylon or Peek ?

Field Target not only improves your marksmanship, it also can provide your social life. It can add a whole new list of friends and places you will want to visit.
Point?

Since i live in the Deep South of Mobile, Alabama, i was reminded of WHY i like field target sooooo much:

#1) The people are great, very helpful and It is a very social activity to share with like minded peeps.

#2) A chance to go places one might not otherwise visit.

#3) The challenge of shooting at unknown targets, at unknown distances on unknown courses is really a kicker for me.

Concerning #1)

I think it is very important, esp in summer, to remember just HOW important the socialization that takes place at field target events is.
If we start a match early in the morning, while it is still somewhat cooler, people will be ready to help set up and they will be much more ready to help break down and restore things after a match.
And then they will tend gather in the early afternoons / evenings for food and drink and stories galore.
But, if you take those same people and start a match late, especially in the heat of summer, by the end of the day, they are all toast, they are tired, grumpy, they want a shower, an air conditioned space and rest... especially if they have more days of competition ahead of them.
#2) plays into #1) because, based on where your venue is, you might have to adjust the dates and times to accommodate these environmental factors.
#3) means an existing venue has a huge challenge of keeping things new and fresh. Not as easy as it seems, and my hats off to all those match directors and clubs that work so hard to do this!
Don't be afraid to get creative, and throw something new or different into the target mix... it doesn't have to count for the overall course score.... but it may just count for a lot of laughs and some bragging rights at the social events that follow.

And don't forget we need young people who will grow into older FT shooters! less the sport should die...
