The Airgun Experience!

Today’s podcast or video cast if you watch on YouTube is discussing the American Airgunner Challenge. Love the show and these podcasts. It’s like listening to a good audio book and an easy way to pass 30 min on the ride to work or while working at your desk.

Other  A pricey target

My wife gave me a cookie tray to shoot. So I painted a few dots and quickly filled with holes. Got the idea to cut in half.

I opened it up with killer my HW90 .25 cal. Accurate and destructive. Once I opened the Center I brought out the R9 .20. Hammering the folded edges. I fired a whole tin of JSB 13.73’s. Brought in a Diana 48 .22 for about 50 rounds. Managed to open left side.
IMG_6962.jpeg
This took over the course of two days. Finally finished off with R9.

Cost 1 1/2 tins of lead = $45.00. Now garbage but a serious challenge. Crow

FX  FX Panthera first shot slow solved…

I have been struggling with Panthera shooting slow on first shot( 20-40 fps slower), and only after sitting 5 minutes or so. Also shooting slow when cold. Someone suggested putting big power wheel on 4 and small adjustment on 4, then adjusting regulator to your desired fps or 10 over at most! It will sound like crap and use lots of air but all is good. Then turn small hammer spring adjustment wheel to where your gun sounds back to normal. You will see the small wheel going from 4 to 3 ( guestimate) and ft per second staying about the same, you want to keep going until ft/second barely lower ( within your desired ft/sec ). Accuracy will return and after 2 days sitting my gun shot a duplicate number over chrono and is much more consistent. I am shooting 500mm in .177 around 900 ft/sec with JSB 10.34 but should work the same with any pellet or caliber. To much reg pressure and not enough hammer spring results in poor results on first few shots, but also to much hammer will result in low shot count and bad accuracy. Find the balance! Happy tuning and I hope it works for you.

Physics of hitting a tin can target filled with water...

Why does a tin can (not necessarily aluminum, but heavier metal) filled with water, and is open on top, fly straight up (3 inches to 3 feet) when struck by a fairly powerful pellet??
Sure, the water inevitably shoots a spout upwards...but why does the can jump "up"? I can't quite figure out the physics involved ;-)

N/A  How accurate can I get and how do I get there?

I'm a fairly new airgunner. I've had a Marauder .22 for a bit over a year now. At first I was fairly happy plinking within 25 yards; then I wanted more accuracy/challenge. And then more, etc. I added a regulator, Tim Hill internal parts, upgraded scope. There are still some things I think that I could do to it (polish barrel? Barrel bands? ) but at this point I don't know what the "bang for buck" would be.

Now, I have a target out to 60 yards. I could put targets out to 100yd in my back yard. The best accuracy that I have gotten is maybe 2" groups at 60 yards. I'm not a world-class marksman, but I've done some shooting with powder burners in the past so I don't think I'm terrible either. At that range I can watch the pellets going elsewhere than I have shot them, so I don't think it's me. I can understand groups opening up somewhat in a stiff wind, but this is even in fairly calm conditions. While I am still improving and tinkering, at this point it seems like I am more accurate than the gun is.

So I guess that I have a few questions,

1) What can of accuracy should I reasonably expect out of my air rifle at 60-100 yards? Is MOA within reason, or is that too much to ask for out of most air rifles? My accuracy seems poor.

2) If more accuracy is reasonably achievable, which is what I anticipate, how should I go about improving accuracy? Should I,
A) Continue to modify/work on Marauder (any recs? I will probably do this anyways, just to tinker, but should I hang my hat on this?), or
B) Upgrade rifle

3) If I choose to upgrade rifle, should I
A) Change caliber (would 25 or 30 be more inherently accurate at those ranges?)
B) Look into shooting slugs?
C) Any recommendations on rifle? I've been reading/thinking about the FX Wildcat vs RTI prophet vs BRK Ghost vs Avenge-X. Not sure which of those would help me achieve my goals (lots of bench rest but also woods walking for squirrels). I'm willing to "buy once cry once."

Thanks in advance for your wisdom

Scam

Well I have joined the ranks of those who have been scammed. I text a person that I thought I could trust. We agreed to a trade. What I got back was a rifle that had been stolen from brawler1588. I am in the process of getting his gun back to him. I will be out of the only air rifle I have. Impact m3 bronze with a bronze backbone and an extended bipod rail. The person that has is called himself John Cully at 506 heatherhill Rd. Columbus Ohio. Or Anthony Jarvis. Same address. If you have any suggestions for me on what to do next. Please text. Brawler is offering a very good price on his rifle but I doubt I can afford it. Hind sight is 20-20. 307-630-6531

FX guns on eBay.

Numerous fx guns that have suddenly appeared on eBay. Seller claims all are “refurbished “ saying fx USA went through them all replacing anything needed. Seller is in Wilmington N Carolina. Obviously we are seeing fx USA inventory hitting the auction site already.

Those with guns stuck there should go look and make sure none are yours.

Finally found the guns I love.

I experimented a lot in the beginning of my PCP adventure, I bought a few AEA semi autos and I had a 50 cal bullpup, I had a few Hatsans. The AEA bullpup was fantastic but the semi-autos left a lot to be desired. I ended up selling all of them, now I have a Huben K1 .25 cal, a Huben GK1 .25, in my opinion the very best PCP pistol you can get by a long ways. And the jewel of my collection is the western rattler .35, Love how powerful that gun is in semi-auto. And I kept my .25 Hatsan Sortie for my kids to shoot. I spent a lot of money when I got into this hobby but I am really happy with the four guns I now have. I don't regret the money I spent at the beginning though because it was a learning experience, I had a lot of fun with all the guns I bought getting to the point I am now.

PCP Rifle  SOLD FX Crown Mk II VP - .177 cal. 500mm synthetic

This rifle was purchased by me last year from Utah Airguns, and it is a fantastic precision shooter. It allowed me to shoot my 2nd ever 200 in the "30-Yard Challenge".

Details: 500mm .177 barrel, will include a 0db Moderator .177/.22 size, stock magazine, single-shot magazine, shipped in original box with manual.
Current tune: I had my best accuracy shooting FX 13.4g .177 pellets around 820fps. Reg is set at 100 bar.
Price: $999
Payment: Paypal only
Free shipping

Feel free to contact me with any questions or if you need more pictures. Thanks.

Trash or Treasure?

I was at the range yesterday I was talking about the Stoger X10 Rifle I got this week. While the rifle is accurate, the trigger and the original "factory" scope are crap.
The fine adjustments are just not responding to adjustments as one would hope.
A friend offer to give me a scope he no longer uses and I picked it up. While there are no mounts, the scope is still in very good condition with just a few minor scratched in its finish.
It is a Simmons model 1048 ( made in the Philippines ) 6.5x20x44 scope with turret adjustments. Midway USA still shows it on their site as a Whitetail Hunter scope.
What I like about it is it will focus from 30 feet to infinity.
It has a 25 m/m body and has coated optics and gas sealed. I'm not sure if the lens mountings will hold when the air rifle is fired?
I do have to buy higher scope rings from a seller, I hope they still make dovetail mount high rings?
Trash or Treasure?

FX  Sorted pellets effort in evidence

Continuing with my rifle maintenance checks this morning, and looking at the performance tests recently completed after sorting several thousand .25 MKI and MKII pellets to help me choose the pellets to use for this rifle’s maintenance test, the results clearly indicate what happens when everything is correct and within tolerance.

Sorted to a head size of 6.38 mm and within a 10th of a grain in tolerance, the ES was only 4 fps over 10 shots and the group sizes were significantly below the .18” moa at 18 yards.

  • Question
air venturi

I need some suggestions.

The short of it is I have a break barrel .177, .25 and .30. I've been getting away from the break barrels and moving to PCP So I bought an AEA 9mm, FX dremline .30 and an Air Venturi .25. I want a .177 PCP but can't find anything I like other than the air venturi which is the same as my .25. I really don't want two guns the same even though they would be different cal.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
