How important is the initial energy dump rt after impact a factor when u shoot for hunting, or gel test for that matter or do prefer a long wound channel .what do folks think ?

Brand New FX DRS Classic 600mm in .22 caliber.

The stock on this rifle was professionally stripped, hydro dipped (silver burled wood) and then the soft touch was applied. The stock work cost $325.

$1150 obo

This is a brand new rifle that outside of the factory test firing has never been loaded or shot. I have other accessories that I can add (scope, moderator, rails, etc..) if you want to put together a package deal. PayPal, Zelle, m.o., or check

sorry for the lighting in the pictures, I will get better pictures this weekend.

Exploding pellets great or just a gimmick ? Anyone ever see a 45 or 50 cal exploding slug or pellet?or even a 30 35 caliber?

This post could be put in any number of forum related topics, including hunting, but i thought i would put it in the General catch all place because it really does apply to all airgun disciplines. Two months back I started a similar albeit less informed thread called "reading the wind".

In short - It's The Wind dummy.

For the last few years (and many many air rifles and scopes later) i have been doing my best to UP MY GAME; you know, become a better shooter.
So much of my time, and money was wasted on the "its the Arrow" (gun and or scope) argument Vice paying attention to me the Marksman.

In field target you get scored on a hit or a miss... so you never develop a true sense of (how much you missed) X or 0 that's it.
In Bench Rest, you get a numerical score that equates to a much more precise understanding of how well you hit or miss.
And if you want to keep records, you can begin to chart your improvement, or lack thereof.
In my case my field target score cards over a two year period (regardless of airgun scope combo) indicated i wasn't doing much better than 52%, regardless of my chosen gear.

For the last two months I have been laid up from left hand surgery. This forced me (out of boredom) to play with my lightest cheapest gun scope option, a Crosman HFT Challenger. It was resting on my bench and i was shooting strictly from indoor to out door from 10 yards to 80 yards and i was focused on <20 FPE pellet weight and speeds.
You would think i would be hitting much more KZ's from a bench as in better than the 52% stated above. NOT! This was so frustrating i didn't even bother trying to shoot offhand.

What gives?

Well, out of ignorance or pure stubborn willfulness i wasn't using and or applying all the tools and info i had at my disposal.
So i began to set out wind flags and strings and study the wind and watch how it affected my Point of Impact.
Then i started to apply the info from my Rose Chart and began to watch how using all of that info changed my POI compared to my it point of aim.
WOWZA!
Within just two sessions, with my least expensive rifle scope combo, my KZ scores jumped to 88%.
I was Still on the bench with a bum hand but something was definitely working.

As my hand continued healing i had several opportunities to shoot outside FT sessions; using a bucket and sticks (bipod) guess what.
Using this new to me wind game info my KZ hits remained at 80 plus %. Hey we are on to something.

So it doesn't matter if your shooting exploding golfballs, punching paper, knocking over field targets or trying to dispatch an animal in a humane manner... your time investment in learning how wind effects your shot is time well spent.
it's the WIND!

The FX Airguns Dynamic Block Family of PCP Air Rifles​

The FX King is part of a broader family of FX air rifles, all built on the FX Dynamic block. This family includes the FX King, Panthera, and Dynamic models, each designed with unique features catering to different shooting disciplines but sharing the same core engineering. While the FX King Chassis by Saber Tactical has always been conceptually compatible with these variants, integrating them seamlessly required additional refinements.

The new Saber Tactical conversion kit now ensures full compatibility across all FX Dynamic-based rifles, eliminating previous challenges and allowing shooters to effortlessly switch between models within the FX Dynamic lineup.

The updated conversion kit includes: ✔ FX rear plug ✔ Two-piece King-style safety ✔ Mounting screws ✔ Safety spring and detent cover, and screw
With these components, installing any FX Dynamic-based rifle into the FX King Chassis is now a streamlined process, ensuring a secure and optimized fit. This upgrade cements the FX King Chassis as one of the most versatile competition platforms available for precision airgunners.

The FX King Chassis by Saber Tactical: The Ultimate Competition Platform​

At the core of this transformation is the FX King Chassis by Saber Tactical, a fully adjustable and modular system that enhances the rifle’s stability and performance. Designed for competition shooters who demand the highest level of precision, the chassis allows the FX King to be tuned specifically for PRS, NRL22, or benchrest disciplines.

One of the standout features of the chassis is its ability to accommodate all FX Dynamic Variant PCP air rifles, enabling shooters to utilize a variety of FX platforms while maintaining a consistent shooting setup. This interchangeability is a game-changer for those who want the flexibility to adapt their rifle to different shooting disciplines without having to invest in multiple chassis systems.

Fully Adjustable Buttstock and Ergonomic Fit​

A critical aspect of any high-performance competition rifle is the adjustability of the stock. The FX King Chassis by Saber Tactical offers a fully adjustable buttstock, allowing shooters to fine-tune their rifle to their exact ergonomic preferences.

Key adjustments include:

• Toolless Cheek Rest Adjustment: The cheek rest can be moved vertically to align perfectly with the shooter’s eye position, ensuring a consistent cheek weld for optimal sight picture and accuracy.
• Buttpad Adjustment: The buttpad can be adjusted for both height and angle, accommodating different shooting styles and shoulder placements for maximum comfort.
• Length of Pull Adjustment: This feature ensures that the shooter can achieve the ideal stance and trigger reach, critical for precision shooting.

These adjustments are all toolless, allowing for quick modifications in the field without the need for additional equipment. This level of customization is particularly beneficial for PRS-style competitions, where shooters must quickly adapt to various shooting positions and barricades.

M-LOK Slots for Weight Customization and Accessory Mounting​

Weight distribution plays a crucial role in stabilizing a rifle for precision shooting, and the FX King Chassis is designed with extensive M-LOK slots on the front rail to maximize customization.

• Benchrest Applications: Shooters can add substantial weight to the chassis to create a rock-solid shooting platform that minimizes recoil movement and improves shot consistency.
• PRS and NRL22 Balance Optimization: In PRS-style shooting, excessive weight can be a hindrance, particularly when shooting from unstable positions or moving between barricades. The M-LOK system allows shooters to add just the right amount of weight to achieve perfect balance without compromising maneuverability.
• Accessory Mounting: The M-LOK slots also enable the attachment of accessories such as bipods, rail-mounted bags, and foregrips, further enhancing the rifle’s adaptability to different shooting styles.

By giving shooters complete control over weight distribution and accessory placement, the FX King Chassis ensures that the rifle can be fine-tuned for any competition setting.

Extended Front Rail for 700cc Bottle and Ultimate Benchrest Stability​

For those seeking the ultimate benchrest setup, Saber Tactical offers an additional extra-long front rail designed specifically to accommodate a 700cc bottle.

• Increased Air Capacity: The ability to run a 700cc bottle significantly extends shot count, allowing for longer practice sessions and competition stages without the need to refill. This is particularly beneficial in extended shooting formats where consistency is key.
• Extended Bipod Placement: The extra-long rail allows the bipod to be positioned farther forward, providing increased stability and reducing bipod hop. This extended footprint is crucial for precision shooting, as it minimizes movement and enhances shot repeatability.

For shooters focused on benchrest competitions, this additional rail transforms the FX King into one of the most stable platforms available, ensuring unparalleled accuracy and control.

Advanced Rail System for Maximum Versatility​

The FX King Chassis features a highly versatile rail system that incorporates both Arca and Picatinny options.

• Arca Rail Compatibility: The integrated Arca rail allows for seamless attachment of tripod mounts and other stability-enhancing accessories commonly used in PRS competitions.
• Picatinny Rail: The Picatinny section ensures compatibility with a wide range of bipods, monopods, and other rifle accessories.
• Enhanced Grip Texture: The chassis includes a jimping pattern underneath the rail, providing a secure grip when using shooting bags or resting the rifle on surfaces.

This multi-faceted rail system gives shooters the ability to customize their rig based on competition requirements, providing the flexibility needed for both dynamic and static shooting disciplines.

Conclusion: Elevating the FX Dynamic Variants the Next Level​

Every scope I own is SFP... I only shoot usually a known distance (~ 35 yds) and will do a hold over for longer distances. I only shoot invasive birds doing crop damage. Seems as though so many guys use FFP's on the YT videos I enjoy... I am thinking about trying a FFP but after all these years why change?

I had my Avenge X 25 out today for some testing at 50 yards. That turned out to be one of those some good; some bad stories.

When I got back home, I filled the gun up and hooked up the chrony. I was using my Apolo cheap 25 grain pellets. I wanted to see just how the regulator was performing over a full shot string. Here is what that looked like.

Number one is that the regulator seems, to me, to not be doing a very good job of regulating. Granted, the taper off is kind of small but I'd expect to see a much straighter line up to the fall off point. But that isn't the interesting thing. Look at the velocity staying relatively constant while the regulator pressure is dropping. So I then plotted the FPS/Reg P and got this.

This is showing graphically that I'm getting more velocity at lower reg pressures. I'm wondering what this means. It looks to me like if I back the hammer spring off a bit, that the tilt in this graph may be turned into a straighter line. It almost looks like at the higher pressures I'm hitting valve lock with the current hammer spring setting and as the pressure drops, the valve lock eases up so I get the same kind of velocity. Isn't that what an unregulated gun does? That stupid low SD on this data is telling me that there is an extremely strong interplay here between the pressure and the speed. Any data that plots a line like this with relatively equal excursions at the front and back end with a fairly straight connection between the two will give a very low SD.

Is there anything in this that would point to whether or not a system is in a nice state of balance in terms of pressure and valve operation? Any opinions on the performance of the regulator? I should also mention that 2 days ago with the same pellet and the same reg set point, the speed was averaging 905 FPS and I had a smaller SD on the velocity that I see here. Why this would change is unknown to me. If this sounds like the ramblings of a confused man, it should, I am a confused man at this point.

There's questions about, how many of this, or that (sights, shooting sticks, mufflers, etc.) , do you own.

Here's a question -
I like to experiment. Saying that a given item is the "best"...is a useless comment unless you actually have more than a couple, of that item to test that thought with. This is the ONLY way to see what is the "best", for you, of that given item.
So, that said, yeah, I have a "few" more sights than guns. Dot sights, holographic sights, prism sights, and even a few scopes. Trying to learn the intricacies of each brand and design.

SO...the question - How many of you have more sights than guns ?
Or had before you sold some.

Mike

Will shooting lower velocities help a gun be "more accurate"? The boys over in the uk seem to be pretty accurate at sub 12ft.. That makes me wonder will the over all function/recoil/movement through out the shot cycle help the gun (pcp) be more repeatable/forgiving etc.? im not talking pellet stability in flight on talking before the pellet leaves the barrel and just before the sear on the trigger breaks.. Im thinking of tuning my gun down to 700-750 fps.. What would the benefits other than shot count be for shooting that low? any info helps

"Leopold" does not make scopes, binoculars, range finders, and spotting scopes. Leopold is a dude's first name. Leupold, a family name, on the other hand-makes all of the afore mentioned optical apparatuses(I know I spelt the plural of apparatus right on account of I dun looked it up).
I was at the shooting range yesterdee testing out some new airgun ammo and overheared a feller talkin about all a his Leopold scopes. I am not quite sure why, but I am allergic to this common mispronunciation and it makes me feel like I'm chewing egg shells! No grammar school edumacated person should commit this phonetic mistake. It is impolite to correct people on this issue in person, especially at a shooting range, so I am here letting off a little steam. It won't fix the problem(with me), but at least if you ever meet me in person, you will know where I stand on the issue.
No airgun shooters were harmed in the writing of this grievance, but I'm sure I'm about to get my gluteus maximus handed to me by all ya'll. If I help even one person with this thread, then the world will be a better place by 0.000000000000000000000000001%. If you caint laugh with me, then at least you can laugh at me. I come up with useless thoughts oncet in while, speshully on a rainy day when I aint got nuthin fun to do.

I received my HM1000X chassis yesterday and mounting my Element Helix 6-24 x50 SFP this morning and am having some slight issues with getting my eye relief set for my liking.
I other words I can’t get low enough on the cheek rest with it dialed all the way down.
Seems my rings which are the Leapers high see thru are not quite high enough.
Hoping someone has some input on a solution.
Not really worried about looks as in looking goofy with scope sitting high.

I have owned this Wildcat for a while now. It's my 3rd Wildcat to include an MK2 compact which I gave to my son, an MK3 sniper I traded off on an Impact MK3 and now this MK3 compact tube version that was recommended by a tech at Utah air guns. I was told for shooting (pellets) the tube version was valved better/ more consistent and since I have the Impact for higher velocity, heavier projectiles it's just what I wanted. The consistency is phenomenal 1st shot to last. The shot count is awesome for a tube gun (54shots) on reg, plenty for a day of woods walking. Accuracy is as good as any gun I've owned, and I have owned a few. I have done 0 tuning on this gun because I don't think I could make it better. Im posting a couple pics to give an example of what this gun is capable of.

In my 4 months here anybody that recognizes me might remember I’m limited to 13 yards for now.
Believe me I make the most of it Haa. So out the window ”opens” a new world. I have woods and
swamp behind house, which is great but 5 or so years ago the town put in a bike trail. So I gotta be
more cautious. Well the original pest which started my journey in high pressure air was squirrels.
I’m doing a (to me) a necessary job of deterring them. No pleasure and some guilt in not eating them
which ive never done. This week Starlings showed up. They’re ganging up under feeder. This pisses
me off. 3 days ago got my first shots yes shots with pistol at 10 yards. WTF missed, turn out red dot
way off on Reximex. Grabbed untried Beeman and nailed first black bastard. Very satisfying feeling.
2 days ago they were out there and I miss several times huh ? Damn sit my butt down on floor and grab
Revere. Ooo man they’re in the trees about 25 to 35 yards. Pop, it tumbled to ground. THAT was
satisfying. Yesterday in cellar shooting while peeking out tiny window. Black blobs appear. Hummm ?
Akela ready but has a red dot on, how about zelos it’s got air and whatever pellets. Rest on sill,
trajectory unknown Clink! and down it falls. About an hour later same thing.
This morning a repeat from first kill. Miss with pistol and knock one out of tree with Revere 25.
Satisfaction.
Mike

For your small game hunting, ie: rabbits, squirrel opossum, raccoon in ur opinion which calibers work best ,and using 45,50 cal is it too much ? How about mess factor? Ethics? Exclude small hogs and coyotes.

Idea for big airgun /archery range, xbows allowed .will it fly or flop ?
