Hi Guys , another early morning shoot ,
the owner rang me about the rats around his chickens
,so i arrived on site at 04-30 am to a lovely morning,
parked up and got my .22cal Crossman Icon out set up about 25 yds from chicken pen
chickens still locked up till 09-00 am so all clear for me,
4-5 rats around but i settled down and soon got a bead on a medium sized rat feeding on some loose feed, i got a head shot that pinned it to the floor, all other rats fled ,
but back out 20 mins later, i shot one in the back of its head the other a heart/lung shot.
i managed another 3 rats, before time for my breakfast
muesli ,Toast & and a large coffee.

Ok - scope divas - which scope actually ranges best, as in spreads out the focus wheel numbers better between 40-55 yards.
Even with a big ol scope wheels it is very difficult to differentiate between 1 yard changes / yardage while range focusing or bracketing from 40-55 yards.
Any help is appreciated.

Peri and I did some 100 yard shooting in the wind today with my Evol mini check it out!

Again, hoping you all can help my channel out by liking and subscribing

I have 600mm 30 cal impact barrel kit superior liner cf sleeve as well with a huma moderator on it and Orion magazine plus the probe 185.00 shipped pp fand f or pay fees

Super accurate with a nice walnut stock as you can see. A really great gun that I hate to sell, but getting old requires reduction of inventory. Rebuilt the regulator about a year or so back, and replaced the main pressure gauge with a Huma. A solid gun with no leaks. Asking $900 shipped to the lower 48. Come with the magazine and the original FX case. Very backyard friendly just with the built-in shroud. The bi-pod, scope and mounts are not included.

Any major downsides to using a soft case for general travel in the back of an SUV? Coming from power burners I mainly use soft case with hard cases reserved for airline travel. FX with mod is too long for the factory case.

1" shoot and see dot. 85 yards out. 10 shots using AA 25.39 Gr (unsorted) pellets shot out of Daystate Wolverine Forester R Hp at a distance of 85 yards in a noticeable breeze. Unreal. One for the books.

Just received my Maverick back from fx. They didn’t put the power wheel assembly back in the right spot. I meant to tell them where it was when I took it off (sent it disassembled) but forgot. However I would have expected the tech to tell it wasn’t right immediately like I did. Number 3 was clearly number 7 producing the hardest hammer hit. It was blatantly obvious. Anyway I digress, I went to change it and my dumb butt lost that little bearing behind the wheel. Ugh….I think it’s 3mm size? Does anyone know for sure before I order them from Amazon? Thank you much.

Daystate Air Ranger.22. Loves JSB 15.89's which it shoots at 900FPS for just under 30 FPE! .
Excellent condition. Nicely grained and colored walnut stock.
Happy to facetime for a live virtual inspection.
Scope and mounts not included. 850 800 750 700 plus actual shipping.

I have a FX Maverick Sniper in .22 and the velocity is all over the place. The first few shots will be 975 (where I want them) then they fall off after that. They will go to 954, 948, 920, 890 and so on. Any suggestions to fix the problem?

Thank you in advance.

Got a 22 redwolf hp 7.4 volt coming that is used ordered a heliboard 11.1 volt and got a new battery coming along with 22cal 25 gr and some 34 gr pellets as well I'm hoping it will be a shooter

here's the meanest prey I have ever had to hunt and kill

Sorry blurry picture
Big Red Wasp, killed it with the Uragan .25 Dry fired Air Blast up close, these things are MEAN.... I had to move very slowly, Airgun does the job, Bug-a-salt didn't....

Both of these PCPs have been simply amazing to me, the Atomic XR was a new, eye opening experience for me. The small, sweet handling size, lower power (17 FPE), and shot count (33 shots) really belies the true abilities of this sweet little gun. The Pathfinder XR is a more familiar gun because I owned a Bantam Sniper HR. Mine, as delivered is producing 20-25 FPE and yields approximately 80+ shots from a 250 BAR fill. Power wise, not far off from the standard 30 FPE PCPs. I’m not a formal target shooter and no longer compete in “run and gun” competitions. I like to plink and pest in no particular order. Both of these guns have been simply taken out of the box. Scopes mounted and then lots of good shooting…

PS: The reason for my post? Am going to take my pup on a walk about and the beasties are vying for my attention. I believe the Atomic will get the nod…

That you could do it floating on a tube!

Hi
A friend told me that he uses slugs exclusively. JSB Knockout are his favourite slugs in .22.

He further advised that he shoots these slugs at 1000fps and above and he achieves 1" to one quarter inch group at 100 yards.

Further he has done good shooting at beyond 200 yards.

He left his Impact with me alongwith slugs.

I chronied it and it was shooting 1010fps.

I tested the gun at my home range that is only 24 yards. But no good group couldbeachieved. A bit of shotgun pattern.

I called my friend on phone and discussed it with him that how he achieves accuracy.

He advised that at 24 yards, slugs are not accurate hence I should go out to at least 50 yards for testing.

I went out and shot a few groups at 60 yards and the same slugs were shooting around 1/2".

I am not a slug shooter but I witnessed myself this all.

I am unable to understand it.

Please discuss it and guide me that how a bad group at 24 yards becomes good group at longer distances with slugs.

Is it just a one of incident or its a regular behaviour of slugs?

Regards,

Bhaur

I really like this scope. The reticle works for me and while sighting in on my .25 Avenger at 35 yards the pellets are stacking on top of each other. Only problem is The elevation locking ring is stuck allowing the turret to turn. Any suggestions on how to losen locking ring ?Also when adjusting windage because point of impact was slightly right turning turret left nothing happened. So I turned right and looking through scope my reticle in fact moved left. Is that normal? I tested this today while in my garage with a target on garage door and rifle locked down I could clearly see my reticle move. Obviously I did not shoot. I will try to get to the range soon.

Well since I’m on the 10 day probation and did nothing but research yesterday and couldn’t message another member about the gun I thought I wanted, I ended up talking with the pellet shop and decided to buy once cry once and got the FX Panthera compact hunter 30 cal. Im pretty pumped about getting it. Let’s see them compact builds and pics. What’s the animals you’ve hunted with it and what moderator is your favorite?

My wife got sick of rabbits in our yard so I went to Walmart and grabbed a Gamo 10x. I grew up shooting BB guns but was never into them as an adult. Then I went on YouTube Was recommended the EDGun channel and now I think I have another expensive hobby! Might have to get an AEA in 25 or 30. Thanks for this great resource. I miss old school, traditional forums.

I recently bought a pre-WWII Diana 48E. This is a .177 spring piston under lever gun, not a side lever like the post WWII model 48 / 52. The 48E is apparently a close copy of the BSA Standard air rifle from the early 1900’s. Mine appears to be produced about 1930. I’d like to disassembly, clean, lubricate, and reassemble it. However, I have no FPS performance information. Does anyone have ANY information about this rifle? Disassembly instructions?

Looking for opinions on this. I'm overanalyzing this but it's a big purchase so I just want to get it right.

I'm mostly hunting small-medium game at less than 50 yards. Cottontail, possums & coons.

The compact would be slightly more discrete and lighter in my back yard, it is 3.25 in shorter and .9 lbs lighter but it's $200 more.

The VP is $200 less which would allow me to buy a 300cc bottle later ($250) to take off .5 lbs and have two bottles to use, so it would seem to be more versatile. 32" is still a really short gun imo.

I would fit a moderator to either gun so they're both going to get longer fwiw.

I recently moved to AR and we're in the middle of a heat wave. High ninetys to a hundred with fairly high humidity. Taking the guns out of the air-conditioned house they sweat for fifteen minutes.

They shoot as expected initially and then after maybe a couple hundred shots the POI slowly shifts and the groups begin to open up. The chronograph shows the velocities drop around twenty feet per second and the extreme spread doubles from single digit to double digit. So it's measurable and not just me being fatigued. Plus if I grab another gun it shoots fine for a while as well.

I read the thread about temperature sensitive scopes. I'm sure this heat and blinding direct sunlight is messing with my scopes but the chronograph showing changes in the gun itself. You can actually feel a difference in temperature between the business end of the compression tube and the barrel. It seems the compression tube can't dissipate the compression heat completely in high ambient temps.

If I put the gun in the shade for a half hour the zero changes and the velocities and extreme spread return to normal.

Anyone else notice their guns performance dropping during extended use in hot weather?

WOW! 26 total dropblocks clocked and shipped! Great little side hustle but it has slowed down now that the "NEW" is wearing off.

I'll still offer this to anybody needing the mod for the foreseeable future as long as parts are available. I have done a handful of complete bottle conversions too, I ship one back to a customer tomorrow and he has a sweet 50 yard shooter!

Let me know if this is something you are thinking about doing, even down the road some time, I have some parts ordered and will get a few Carm mags as well to have on hand for "emergencies".

What a fun little gun!
