Rabbit Hole

Okay let's see what started you down this rabbit hole. Here's mine, first air rifle after my Daisy 880. Started as a used P34, I found a wood stock for it, repurposed the 4-32 scope that came on it when i bought it to my 880 and put a $24 dollar Tasco 3-12x42 on it with a RWS one piece mount. I was going to sell it but after today I am not so sure. I have acquired 3 pistols and 11 other rifles since this adventure started about 7 years ago. First gun I tore down, cleaned up, deburred, installed a plastic piston liner and relubed, all OEM spring, seal and guide. Haven't shot it since I put the Tasco scope on it over 2 years ago. After turning a few knobs here's what I ended up with, 5 shots @25 yards. As good as I can do with any of my tuned Weihrauchs.

FX  Can Any Impact M3 *Compact* Owners Help On a Quick Question?

My M3 Compact came with a heavy valve return spring and FX replaced it with the correct standard spring. When I received my Compact my chronograph literally broke the very same day so I couldn't get any FPS numbers on the stock setup. I am now back to the reg 1 @ 150, reg 2 @ 85, Macro 16, Micro 2, valve adjuster at 4 lines default setup. It it shooting my JSB 18.1 @ 800 FPS.

1)Is that way off?
2) What caliber and stock setting FPS's were you getting from your new Compacts?

I'm guessing 800 on the .22 is probably about right because FX stock setup on the Compacts is pretty conservative? I don't know as my 2nd Impact was a .25 700mm rig. Can anybody else confirm this?

Taipan  Taipan Veteran II Tactical

Tune 1: FX 34 Heavies/JSB MK2 Heavies 915FPS. One hole at 50.
Shot String: 250Bar Fill (300max)
Placeholder

Target: Placeholder

Gun Weight: 8.399 with Ergo Vertical Grip

Initial Impression:
The rifle is extremely solid. No sharp edges anywhere. The moderator is HUGE and also acts as a barrel tensioner. The trigger is the same as the OG Taipan (super adjustable). The cocking is ridiculously smooth and solid (very refined, buttery). The cocking throw is medium (compared to an M3 which is short). The machine work is flawless (the gun looks "melted"). The barrel needed a lot of patches before it was clean. Accuracy is absolutely mind blowing (tuned). Rifling is grooved. Balance is neutral in hand. Cocking lever can be swapped to the left from the right. The AR grip that it came with was rubber overmolded and solid feeling. The rifle requires AR grips that are "Flat topped". The pic rail can be removed from the bottom (option parts to come?). The trigger guard can be removed. Every part on this gun just feels super refined.

ToDo:
Replace all bolts with Titanium
Cocking Lever Bolts: M4x16
Cocking Mechanism Plate (Right): M4x8
Barrel Clamp Bolts:M4x18
Cheek Cap Bolts: M4x30 TP (Currently 318m SS)
Trigger Plate Bolts:M4x8 Counter Sunk (Currently 318m SS)
Trigger: Adjusted for a 2.8oz first stage, 4.8oz second stage. No creep. No overtravel.

Air Arms  Why you shouldn’t overpressurize your S4xx/5xx

I put a regulator in my S410E awhile ago and started charging it to 250 bar for the extra shot capacity. Well, today while charging it spit out an o-ring near the fill port. I guess you can see why. Oh well, maybe I can turn it into a blunderbuss.

Which FT class for Pumper?

If I were to shoot a .22 Benji Pumper with 14.3 JSB at 600 fps (11.5 fpe), what class could or would I shoot in? AAFTA
It’s not Pre-charged, so not a PCP.
It’s not a Springer.
It’s under 12 fpe.
It would be closest to a gas ram type break barrel I would think, but not sure.
Anyone run across this before or have an opinion? Thanks!

Flattest Shooting Air Rifle You Have ?

Flattest Shooting Air Rifle you have ?
I am curious on say your long distance shooting and what your flattest shooting round in caliber, distance, speed and Bc ?

So hypothetical if you had a zero of 50, 75 or 100, what would your drop be at say 125, 150, 175, 200 in inches or feet? What if you are off 2 yards with your estimate ?
Trying to compare my numbers with you other long distance shooters.....

Thanks again,

Thanks Jay

Nostalgically looking at pcp progression in style /type of guns

I want to hear about peoples progressions in style of gun

For example I started PCPing in 2009 -10 with traditional style rifles ( marauder )
Later on down the road Bullpups we’re the next style.
Then much more recent the carbine and mini carbines

Before 2009 I had 22 odd springers now I have 4

N/A  The PCP has to compatible with the scope.

No matter which PCP we are talking about nor which scope either.

In order to feel comfortable with the rifle, you have to mount on it an adequate scope for the kind of use you will give to the rifle.

It is not the same need the one on EBR than the need of getting a quick aiming point for hunting.

A bad selection of scope will make you not to feel comfortable with the rifle, even if it is the very best rifle you could have bought.

3-12x32 scope choices?

I am wanting a scope that is at least 12x on upper end and 3x-4x on lower end but need it to be 32mm and 1" tube. A 40mm is hitting barrel so not considering anything over 32mm. I realize l could just get higher rings and a cheek pad but what's the fun in that. The only 3-12x32 scope, I can find reasonable priced, is the UTG 3-12x32 bug buster or l am l missing one? Any negatives on this scope. It doesn't come with a etched glass reticle so looking at a thick reticle. 150.00 so glass is probably urr. Just building a 30 yard squirrel walk about gun. Thanks, Don

FX  Why are the panthera and dynamic poorly made?

Good day,

After doing further research, it seems that the dynamic and the panthera have had a series of continuous issues. From the o-rings, to plenums, what’s going on? Before purchasing I’ve been doing more research and it seems like this product was released too soon. What’s everyone else’s suggestions?

Other  Sheridan vs HW30s

I finally stopped shooting this lil HW30 long enough to pull out the chrony to see how it compares to my 1965 Sheridan, Bluestreak.
The HW30 averaged 490 fps, a bit more than the Bluestreak with three strokes at 466fps, and a bit less than the Bluestreak with four stroke.strokes, averaging 507fps. I'm shooting, Exact FT 13.73s.gr.

HW/Weihrauch  Weihrauch accuracy?

With intermittent light winds shot these targets with a few of my Weihrauchs. The order was left to right starting top row. Incidentally the first group for each gun was shot cold off the rack. All five shots scoped at 25 yards. AND NO! NOT OFFHAND for all the heros out there.
Starting from top left moving right
177 Hw50, 4.53 8.44 JSB Exacts that's my squrl gun.
177 Hw30 7.33 Exact RS
Last three groups on the top row were my 20 cal R9 with 13.73 Exacts.
Second row first two groups is my 177 Hw95 with JSB 8.44 4.52. NFG.
Next three, same gun 4.51 FTTs

Last row all the same 177 Hw95 but 4.52 FTTs.

Just an accuracy cross sampling of few different Weihrauch guns for those interested. Feel free to ask questions.

Be well
Ron

New to Airgun Nation

Hi all,

I just thought I'd introduce myself.

I've been shooting airguns for many years on and off, and my main interest lies in plinking and traditional German break-barrel spring-piston air rifles. My current air rifles are a Falke Model 70 and a two-year-old Weihrauch HW30S, both in .177. I have somewhere to shoot rabbits but haven't had a chance to do any sporting shooting this year.

All the best, spikey.

ELR Coyote , How Far Would You Go ?

ELR Coyote , How Far Would You Go ?

Extreme Long Ranger Shooters I have a question for you about what you would consider the longest shot you could ethically take on a coyote ?
I am curious with follow up questions.
1. What Caliber ?
2. What Rifle ?
3. Heavily Modded ?
4. Max Distance ?
5. Ammo and BC ?
6. Curious on how accurately you feel you need to judge range , You need to be +1,-1 one yard ....

You guys do some fine long range shooting, I just kind of want to hear from the more discipline long range shooters of what could be possible.


Jaydog.
