N/A  Shot strings VS. Reality

Hello everyone! here's a question for everyone no matter what airgun you have (well PCP only actually). so running shot strings I can achieve right around 85 very consistent shots with my Benjamin Akela, but actually going out shooting it feels like I don't get that many shots before the pressure starts dropping below the sweet spot. does anyone else experience the same thing? is it because shooting targets and lobbing pellets in at long range is just more enjoyable than running shot strings so it feels like it goes faster? sure I could just count how many pellets or how many times I filled my magazines but oh well...does anyone else notice this or is it just me? im curious to hear your guy's experience with this type of thing!

Airforce  Texan 308 “Blemished” purchase

I bought a blemished 308 Texan this week. This is not a flame post, but just to serve as informational. I was expecting some nicked edges on the aluminum (which it has), or some odd coloration in the bluing (which it also has), or some imperfections in the molded poly parts (also present). I really did not expect ALL of those things AND RUST! I should be able to fix up everything (with the exception of the poly parts) and will eventually ceracote it, but wow. I really didn’t think I was getting something in this kind of shape. It almost appears used, but I don’t know that for sure. The crown has rust, but the bore doesn’t appear to have any. My endoscope is just a little too large to get into a 308. Just a warning to all who were thinking about saving a couple hundred bucks, know what you could be getting into. If you don’t have the capabilities to re-blue, deburr sharp edges or nicks, or ceracote/duracote to cover any cosmetic imperfections then you may want to spend the extra couple hundo and get a Texan that is in pristine condition like they usually come!

Brocock/BRK  Ghosted before Halloween

Busy day with airguns. Spent 3 hours with a Skout epoch then got to play with my new Brocock Ghost Carbine.177. Mounted a Nightforce NX8 on it with a big Rowan parallax wheel setup with StrelokPro and verified dope yard by yard. Very impressed with Derrick Walls trigger work! @ tenacious airguns dot com. Bullpup platforms can be difficult for FT because too often the center of barrel to center of scope is excessive and difficult to get a good eyebox. Nonetheless- success!
11 lbs of awesomeness.

Other  Questions on New .22 Airgun

I've got a few airguns already, an old Benjamin .177 pump, Beeman R9 .177, HW50S .177 (I love this one) and a Red Rider BB gun that was my sons when he was a kid.
Anyway, looking for a good inexspensive .22 for backyard plinking and maybe some hunting.
A few I was looking at
Hatsan MOD 65 - Watched a video and the guy showed the pins in the trigger was bent and not recommended it.
Gamo Swarm Maxxim
Benjamin Durango.

I also looked at getting a PCP like the Hatsan Flashpup or Flash QE from Bass Pro or the Umarex Origin. Also don't know about Gas Pistons.

Daystate  One Wolf (Red one), Two Calibers (.25 or .30): Which One

I recent picked up a used 177 Red Wolf and a PRS Chassis, Love it! But then begs the quest for a larger caliber for long (100ish yards) Benchrest. So I wrote centercut and he highly promoted the non-Electronic BRK Ghost 30, but I can not push myself to like the bullpup layout. So I still love that Red Wolf only would .25 cal be the better or as in the Centercut recommendation .30 but in my familiar rifle layout.
So what is the collective thoughts and opinions of Red Wolf .25 or .30 ???

Thank you Charlie C

HW/Weihrauch  HW50 bad barrel?

I bought a HW50, from AOA, about 18 months ago. Shot it some but could never get it to shoot well. My HW97 and Tony Leach TX200 kitted gun got most of the attention as they both are great shooters. I decided to put a Vortek kit in the HW50. Gun was much smoother shooting but accuracy just not there. Shoots about 3 inch groups at 30 yards and 2 inches at 15 yards. Tried about 15 different pellets. All shoot about the same. 30 shot strings over chronograph are within 15 fps. Decided maybe l just can't shoot a break barrel. Got my brother in law to shoot it for a month. He handed it back and said "there is something wrong with that gun, it shoots like crap" . So, after testing, polishing, trying every pellet l can get my hands on, l am declaring l have the only bad .177 HW50 barrel in existence 🤪. Anyone have .177 or 22 barrel they would like to sell. Thanks,Don

Finally completed - 50 yard accuracy tests/comparisons - all of my air rifles

It has taken me literally months to complete, as work and home projects abound and waiting for windows of no to little wind conditions, but this morning I finally finished the 50 yard accuracy tests/exercises shooting two 10 shot comparative groups with each rifle at a laser measured 50 yards. All groups were shot from bags/bipods with sandbags supporting the butt. I worked hard to make the environment for each group nearly identical.

For those that would like to see specific groups and rifle combinations, I have photos of the rifle and the test groups for each of the results indicated below and would be glad to post specific ones upon request. CAUTION - the groups are not totally indicative of performance. For example, the BRK Ghost test groups were largely one big hole, but then one pellet slipped outside of one group a half inch or more.

This was a fun exercise. All of the rifles were shot with the best work up I have accomplished in terms of tune and ammo choices to date. But as some of the groups indicate, there is still room for improvement.


Enjoy!

FX  Crowns barrel is moving forward

Hey Guys and Gals,
My .25 crown is sliding forward an inch in 3 shots rasing h*ll with my shooting.
I have 6 orings degressed on the block side of the shroud nut. I've cleaned the interior of the block where the barrel assembly sides into, and still shoot my barrel towards the muzzle.
Any ideas on how to rectify it?
Thanks.

Brocock/BRK  BRK Ghost and Daystate Revere maintenance and care what are you using?

Hey everyone,

My ghost and revere arrives on monday. It will be my first pcp. I went to the BRK/daystates websites and was reading through the manuals, especially the care and maintenance sections. Sadly they were very vague with them. I want to take good care of my rifles. They didnt list suggested lubricants cleaners etc.

What is everyone using for maintenance and upkeep on the BRK Ghost and Daystate huntsman revere? When first getting it, is there anything I should do beyond an inspection and a good cleaning of the barrel? I did see a post showing how to polish a barrel. I likely will do this down the road if needed but I want to see how each are shooting first to get a baseline.

Thanks for the advice.

PCP Rifle  SOLD Fx Impact m3 Sniper M3 with Arken scope and Extra’s$$$

This m3 has been my go to rifle for pesting since I purchased it a year ago. I’m looking to go.35 caliber for hunting purposes later this year so the .22 has to go! This m3 has a Arken sh4 ffp scope paired with it. Recently detuned to shoot lights out inside of 50yards with 18g pellets for up close work ℹ side barns but that permission fell through so it has been sitting around doing nothing for almost a year. It has a superior heavy slug liner currently mounted but will come with the original pellet liner also. Holds air indefinitely. Honestly I’m just checking to see if interests in this particular rifle are up to my selling standards lol. I’m just not going to let it sit I can afford to keep it otherwise. Pictures at the request. This rifle has very little use and I don’t like leaving great kit laying around unused. (Update) this rifle has many extra’s! It has a barrel tensioning system installed. It also has a shroud over tensioning system to keep it nice and quiet no matter how fast fps you choose to run it. It has a saber tactical rail bipod is not included. Ergo zero grip. Front reg delete/ yes you can have the front reg with the rifle. One stock mag in .22. The barrel is going to look shorter than 700mm because it has a 700cc bottle with a 300bar valve installed. Side lever is a $130 ball bearing aircraft aluminum utterly amazing cocking experience lol what else can I say. Nsa slug probe and carrier. Not looking for trades and if you try to lowball I’ll just ignore!!! 1850$ shipped conus only.

Umarex  Notos the end: accuracy.

Not definitive as it is not off of a bench, but the top of a toolbox. My shop range is just 27 yards with a 9 power scope. Later I'll do 50yd with much better optics. Once again all shots at the same reg pressure of 148 bar. Same hammer spring setting. The velocities changed based on projectile weight alone. No changes to scope settings, one magazine, 7 shots each. This was to observe velocities and weed out what clearly would not work.

Some plinking foolishness this evening…

Did a little plinking after the work week this evening conditions were calm. Did my usual black walnut busting from 40 to 64 yards. Then took three consecutive shots and got three consecutive hits at 102 yards on the pictured cans. The can without the frontal impact, was nicked over the top. The little white, “chipmunk size” bottle, hit at least four times, in a row. All sending CPHPs out of my Pathfinder XR. Last night and this morning I was sending JSB Exact Jumbo 18.13s, easy, casual dime size groups at 40 yards. Bipod front no rear bag, I hold the bipod with my off hand.

2023 AAFTA RULE CHANGES

2023 AAFTA RULE CHANGES​

• Timers are now required at all Grand Prix events and Nationals.
• Variable scopes are now allowed for pistol Field Target, but must be set at 12X or lower.
• Skipping or shooting ahead on lanes is prohibited- lanes must be shot in order.

Skipping or shooting ahead on lanes is prohibited- lanes must be shot in order. == does this mean that shooters line up to wait (say #15 ) to start shooting that will make matches a lot longer . Maybe i am reading this wrong ?
