Bought my first air gun! Read through a lot of previous posts! Having only shot a 66 powermaster, this is a huge upgrade!

HW95 .22

For those of you who have been die hard vet owners, I’m with you!
This is my 2nd vet, after I stupidly sold the first before giving it a chance.
My only gripe with the vet was in the bullpup configuration with the factory wood stock, I was horrible at shots past 50yds. Not the rifles fault. Just my comfort.
I decided to bite the bullet and ordered a tactical stock for it.
The FIRST time I shot it afterwards, it was like buying a completely different gun. Comfort level is there, and I’m comfortable now past 50yds. With a pic rail up front to help with bench work, it’s even more sturdy.
icing to top the cake (that I haven’t seen ANYWHERE mentioned till now) is that it takes AR style flat top grips!!!
I HATED the wood grip that came with it, so after I found this out, I was ecstatic to say the least.
Very happy with my purchase!

I'm looking for a replacement for my Valiant Zephyr 5-20. I was happy with it but without warning the windage turret gave out. As the title says I'd be glad for some suggestions. Here's 2 that I'm considering

Hi Friends, up for sale is my still new-gun-smelling Pathfinder. Purchased from Tristan @ Atlas Airguns in June 2023 for $1,800. Excellent gun in all aspects, I'm letting it go to fund another setup. Flawless condition, as pictured, no original box. $1,650 shipped to 48 states, buyer to cover any transactions fees. I can take a variety of payment options.

Hello everybody. I just wanted to write about my newest addition. I received my JTS Airacuda yesterday from Airgun Depot. It arrived empty of air so I was a little skeptical that it would hold air, due to the recent posts. Well after cleaning the barrel which was very very dirty, I mounted my Arken SH 4-25 on it. Really big scope for the rifle, but it was just laying around so I put it on. Well aired it up, and popped the first shot. It was low and to the left, at 25 yds. Dialed int the corrections and bingo dead center. Following shots were dead on. I was shooting FX 25.39’s at 907 fps. Two mags shot with those. Next I tried some FX 34gr pellets. They were low as expected and speeds of 850 down to 830 before falling off the reg. I was very pleased ate the results and the way the rifle shot. No clipping with the Donnyfl Sumo either.
Ok now the not so good news.
After about 5 mags, the rifle started leaking air from the foster fill connection. I tried several blasts of air trying to reseat the valve. No good. I tried inserting something to reseat the valve. No good. So I was wondering what to do. Send it back, or try to fix. Well I did the latter. And after removing the end of the air tube, I found no check valve, but a counter sunk screw with one flat side and an o ring. The screw wasn’t tight enough to hold the o ring against the surface. Easy fix, but I thought it was bad to have to fix a new rifle after 50 shots. So I hope this is not the first of bad things to come, but if it holds up, I believe it will be an awesome rifle to shoot. I’ve got numerous o ring kits, so I’m ready for a reseal job “when” if it happens. Thanks for all your posts. May you have unlimited air and ammo,and shoot straight! GG

I am selling my .22 Air Arms S510 Xtra FAC Carbine. It has been sitting idle as I just don't have a use for it. It shoots JSB 18.13 pellets at 860fps, and will stack the pellets in one hole with almost boring accuracy. Topped with a Hawke Airmax 30 4-16X50 FFP AMX IR. Includes 2 Mags, 1/2-20 adaptor, fill adaptor, and shroud end cap.

The wood is very beautiful, with tons of grain pattern and spalting. The wood was pretty dry when I received it, so I gave it a few rubdowns with boiled linseed oil. Metal is in great shape, with one small nick in the shroud end cap (see last pic) Bought this new in Spring 2022, and have probably put 150-200 pellets through it.

Rifle without scope: $1350 + shipping
Rifle with scope: $1750 + shipping

Cashier's check/money order or USPS money order.

PA has five of them.

Looking for a Donnyfl ronin or emperor for a .30 cal 1/2 unf.

I am planning for Fall a multi day trip on trails deep in a bush, and tinkering to bring my L2 with me.
But I don't have a suitable short parralax scope for trails short to mid distances.
I have two high power target scopes for BR, way too bulky and heavy.
And I have one older scope that I opened the front and moved the shortest focus down to 5 Meters but this surgery resulted moving the far focus as well I think shorter then 20 M, this one I use in my backyard for my walnuttrees damage prevention. And this one as well 13" long and extends at rear 3", not really backpack size.
So, shopping now for a short scope that won't extend the rear when the L2 is folded ( like the IO and LPVO I had earlier), meaning long eye relief also short parallax. And not to break the bank.
Any L2 owner can chime in?

Good afternoon guys. As some of you know, a couple of months ago I ordered in 6 Cometa guns for testing reasons. They looked great but I had to see how they performed. Being as to how there aren't many dealers for Cometa here in the US I reached out to Cometa who happily sold me some guns to play with. Well after a couple of months of testing and probably 15k pellets through the lot of them, I can safely say they are pretty decent guns. I will be placing another larger order here at the end of the month and offering up the chance to get in on the order.

The two guns in particular that I really like are the 300 USC Premier and the Fenix 400 USC Premier Start. The 400 USC in particular has really grabbed my attention. Its a very short carbine (40" including the moderator!) that is lightweight, has a fairly light target/hunting trigger, and has proven to be very accurate at 16-18fpe.

The 300 USC is a great 13fpe springer but has one major downfall OOB. The trigger is heavy and nonadjustable. Like 3lbs heavy. After doing a bit of experimentation with some polishing and light re-shaping of the sear I managed to get the trigger down to 1.5lbs and it works great.

I will be taking orders until the last day of this month. I have attached a few pictures with APPROXIMATE costs will be with currency exchange, shipping, and customs/duty fees already applied. The only additional charge to you will be whatever the actual shipping costs are from me to you once they arrive. If you have any questions or would like to get in on the group buy either send me a message or just drop a comment on the post.

If you visit Cometas website you can find the full array of what they are offering these days. I can get whatever you like, PCPs included, so if you see something that catches your eye let me know and I'll forward a total cost to you. I do NOT need the full amount up front. I would like a $50 deposit though which I feel is fair to ensure you are serious and I dont get stuck with a bunch of guns. That can be paid via whatever really. Check, Pay Pal, Money Order, doesn't matter. As long as its here before I place the order on September 1st.

400USC Premier Star $315:

300 USC Premier $250:

On my pursuit to mouse fart quiet I’m able to get my pcp pretty quiet but target still smacks! Duct seal or rubber mulch same thing. The actual target (paper/cardboard) smacks. Will a 177 be better in terms of anal and diameter of the hole? I’m envisioning a smaller surface area and therefore less of a smack noise or is the difference negligible?

Hey all. New to airguns, new to the forum. Been doing a lot of research before making my first purchase and would appreciate hearing from people who own or have shot both regulated and unregulated semi-auto PCPs. There is probably something I'm missing, but I keep coming to the conclusion that an unregulated semi-auto be preferable to one with a regulator for quick follow-up shots. Would the accuracy loss due to the lack of regulator be less than the accuracy loss from not allowing the regulator to fully fill up? Buying with the intention of snake control which can be difficult when they are moving (copperheads and rattlesnakes in my area) but will likely end up spending more time plinking overall. Thanks.

I have had an HW95 for several years that I use for pesting and target shooting, but being slow to reload, too many birds got away. I decided to take the plunge into the PCP world and got a used gen 1 Marauder along with a GX CS2 compressor. The previous owner seems to have tuned it well, initial testing seems to be pretty good for shot count. I was considering the Marauder and Akela, and decided to go with the Marauder because of the tuning capability would be a good learning experience for me. I know I already want to make a depinger, that gets annoying!

I have been testing different pellets to see what works best, I have an old box of Crosman Premiers 7.9gr that didn’t work well with the HW95, that shoot great at 25m, but at 35m the group opens up a lot. I have some CPUM from Walmart that do the same thing, great group at 25m, then much worse at 35. I have a JSB sample pack, the Exact 8.3 looked like a shotgun at all ranges, but the Exact 10.3 did really well out to 45m. The RWS Superdomes are my go to pellets in the HW95, but are horrible in the Marauder. Of course the expensive pellets work the best.

Does the issue with the Crosman pellets shooting great at 25m and then much worse by 35m sound like it could be improved by optimizing the velocity? The boxed Premiers in 7.9gr are shooting at about 950 fps. I plan on doing some more testing at different velocities, but it would be helpful knowing if there is a typical optimum velocity for these pellets, I couldn’t find that in my searching, so it looks like it depends on the gun.

This Element Optics Helix 6-24x50 SFP scope is new in the box. Has the MOA reticle. Perfect condition.Springer rated and a no questions asked lifetime factory warranty. Price is $325 shipped to the lower 48. Send me a PM with "I'll take it" or ask questions. If you want to call or text, leave me your number.

Like brand new very lightly used Hawke AIRMAX SF 30 6-24x50 compact scope. Will come with a set of Sportsmatch ATP-61 2-pc 30mm Adjustable Extra High Scope Mounts.

Paid + $500 for both. Will ship within the contental US for $375. PayPal F&F.

Thanks for looking.

A couple of hours ago the new to me Red Wolf arrived.

Took me a little to be able to set the rifle to shoot at high. Now I is set there and shooting the JSB 18.14 grain at 944 fps.

The accuracy of this thing at 100 yards is absolutely out of this world !! I will share a picture of groups soon. But the accuracy of this rifle is a different league than any other of my PCPs.

The experience of shooting with this platform is butter smooth.

With this 700 cc bottle the rifle will give a bunch of shots per fill.

After the discussion in my previous thread I went ahead and ordered the .25 Maverick compact. I followed the video guide and instruction booklet on the first run. I shot the 25 grain JSB hades and have a few questions and complaints.

1. The factory reg was set at 120 bar and on power wheel #1 I was get 560 fps, is that expected? I think I got like 870fps at power wheel #7

2. tldr: The first reg was never set at the factory. I followed the instructions to degass the gun and reset both regs. When I unscrewed the second reg for the guage to read the first one the gauge shot up to the tank pressure instead. After degassing I screwed in the first reg until it stopped and filled the gun again, but the reg gauge was still reading tank pressure. I degassed the gun again and started screwing in the first reg more. I'm really cautious because I know it can damage by over tightening, but I had to give it some mustard to get past a burr in the threads and then it loosened up and seated properly.

3. I don't trust that the hammer spring tension was set properly. I followed Steve's tuning guide for JSBs and when I tried those settings I had 110 bar (10 more than him) and was 100 fps slower with the wheel set to 4. (He called it 0hs change from factory, but I can't trust that now) Is that much variation expected gun to gun?

4. How do I set the hammer spring back to "factory"?



What does 19,2 mean? Is that turns out from full in? I know I need to "tune for the knee" but just wondering what that part of the chart means. I guess I could reverse engineer it and just aim for 880 with all other variables the same.

Edit: 5. regulator #2 sticks out of the housing. The book says “unscrew it flush with the housing” to see the first regulator pressure and what Steve did in the video matched that. Mine has to be out about 1/8th of an inch to have the same effect.


Anyway, I guess it could be worse but I expected better QC for the price point.

The final springer to sell from my collection and vault clean-out project, an incredible fully tuned HW98 in .20 caliber. This has traditionally been my best shooting break barrel. Shooting the H&N FTT 11.42 pellets, and as evidenced by the target below, this rifle routinely shoots 10 shot groups in the sub <1/4" range, easily knocking down the 1/4" steel plates, shooting through the 10MM holes found on my RX target systems targets.

Purchased new in 2021, this rifle has never been shot anywhere but my indoor range or off of my back deck. There is not a handling mark on it that I am aware of.

The Vortek PG4 Steel HO spring kit and vac seal, trimmed for ultimate smoothness in the cocking cycle and shooting stroke, really brought this rifle into its own. The trigger has been fully worked over as I hand polished all of the touching components. Notice the SD of only 2 fps across a 20 shot string.

This is an heirloom rifle, being offered fully tuned and shipped for only $675 within the continental US. To include the rifle complete with the Vortex Diamondback 6-24x50 FFP scope on top of Sportsmatch vertically adjustable mounts, complete with field verified dope chart with both hold over and clicks settings verified, add $400.

Since the original listing, I have added the original test performance chart, comparing the out-of-the-box text results to the post complete tune test results. This rifle performs better than any out-of-the-box rifle will.

Thanks.

This is a great shooter with plenty of power. I will let it go with ammo. Includes 1 mag and a couple tins of heavy slugs. We can discuss a scope if needed. Moderator is not included.

So one name keeps coming up and I find it interesting is Brocock. But there doesn’t seem to be any long term information about them or I’m an idiot that can’t use the internet (likely). If I take the plunge to buy their rifle and for whatever reason I hate it what’s the resale gonna be like? I don’t mind spending the money but I hate wasting it.

I receive chrono error message on my three months old alpha wolf. any idea how to fix it?

I bought this from Anschutz in 1975 so that I could participate in the “new” Air Rifle competition at the 15th US International Shooting Championships at the Black Canyon Range (now Ben Avery Shooting Center) in Phoenix. That was the only match I ever shot with it. The inspection sticker for the match is still on the stock. Since then, it has been carefully maintained in my safe and fired only occasionally (it is pristine!) when someone new to shooting wanted to try a few shots in the backyard. Zero recoil! Early last year I read about the possibility of leaking in the recoil compensation mechanism and checked it…..happy to see that no leakage had occurred. To make sure it did not happen going forward, I replaced all of the seals and piston buffer, refilled the piston, and replaced the main spring with parts and guidance from John MacLeod at Custom Gun Parts in the UK. It shoots as well as it ever did! Chronograph test shows muzzle velocity for RWS R10 Match ten shots: 573, 575, 583, 587, 584, 581, 579, 575, 582, 585 = average 580.4 +/- 4.7 (0.8 %)
Has original Instruction booklet with test target.
$850 WITH original 6702 Anschutz sights shipped in hard plastic/boxed case. $650 WITHOUT sights.
Feel free to ask questions through PMs.
Thank you for looking!
