Thought I would take advantage of little wind after work today and do a little shooting. Couldn’t decide what to shoot so just picked a couple guns for a fun comparison. Daisy 880 with open sights compared to Daystate Wolverine R with Aztec emerald scope set at 16x. I used shooting sticks off a seat field target style for the position. Range was 10, 20, 30 yd. A bit of a wind gust came up for a couple of shots, but that’s all part of it. I was really surprised how well the Daisy did with the open sights. Even though at 30 yd I was having trouble seeing the bull.
The target is below. I didn’t hold over with the Daisy, mainly because I didn’t know how much. It is usually my indoor 10m gun. I did adjust with the Daystate since the scope allows for that.
I took 3 shots at each bull. Of course the Wolverine did much better all the way, but it was still a lot of fun.

Haven’t had much time to shoot lately so today it was nice to relax for a bit.

Enjoy,

Just a quick question, has anyone had to replace the valve seal? Just curious if it would be a good thing to have on hard. I do have two Vettys but both are tuned low. I noticed that Talon tunes has them in stock.
Thanks

If you are new to airguns and platforms, I have put together a quick reference on when you should consider owning 2 air rifles vs 2 barrels and one platform.

Where is the best place to get a long box to ship a gun? Called a local gun store they said they cut their boxes open so they are damaged. Could have been BSing me and not want to be bothered.

I switched completely from firearms to airguns in 2022. I have obeserved this. If shooting a pcp at low to medium power a regulator is helpful. If shooting high power an adjustable air valve is helpful. At high power a regulator is not helpful unless adjustable, but not necessary. Air valve power adjustment is most useful when changing pellet weight or shooting bullets. The entire range of air valve power adjustment is covering the entire range of possible projectile weight. Within a projectile weight sweet zone the air valve adjustment uses approximately 30% of it's adjustment range. What?

I wanted to see if my Huben K1 was sufficient enough for dispatching feral hogs at a "decent" distance on my property and finally had an opportunity to put it to the test last night! This is a custom unit from Kelly at Kraz Cool Airguns with a longer LW polygon barrel so it's putting out quite a bit more energy than the stock .25 version. Anyway, I know how much I searched for people using the K1 for hunting medium sized game and couldn't find much, so I thought I would post for anyone interested. It's a laser beam and I felt confident in landing a headshot from 75 yards away.


Note: A 25 cal pcp airgun is actually illegal in Texas to use for hunting on public land, so understand this is on my own private property. I would NOT use the Huben outside of this, even if it is capable of dispatching the animal. I also would not recommend using this small of a caliber without knowing your shot placement as you may not be able to achieve an ethical kill. I HATE feral hogs, but I still prefer not to let them suffer unnecessarily.

Anyone know where I can find one of these in left hand? I have checked their website and it is made left handed walnut. I checked all yhe dealers and no one has it listed as available. I was going to chose a 12 fpe .22. I emailed Air Arms about this as well, waiting on a response. This is one of my unicorn rifles.

Very popular mods for the M3 are the stiffened backbone among others. Do you think FX is working on a MK4 version?

just curious if anybody on here uses cleaning pellets in their Huben? I love this rifle but cleaning the barrel is a chore taking apart the rifle to properly clean it, I assume I would have to take off the shroud/baffles before shooting them through so they don't get plugged up in the baffles, my current tune is around 70fpe also and not sure if that would be too much power for the cleaning pellets.

A second recrown checked with a magnifier gave the Wolverine used I bought the expected accuracy for my standards.

At least for hunting purposes now I know the rifle is reliable. This is a group at 85 yards. Good enough for my expectatives:

I've been gunsmith ING now for over 45 years so trigger work is nothing new. I'm in the process of upgrading my two FX Royale triggers to Boss triggers to get a more refined two stage trigger and have read everything on the subject I can find while waiting for the triggers to arrive.

After all this work I was wondering if you all realized just how fantastic the Weihrauch HW100 triggers are? They are in a class with A nschutz, Steyr, Walther etc. They don't always come from the factory set up perfectly or even have all the adjustment screws in them that can make them fantastic but with one set screw and the minor stretching of a spring, they easily are a great true two stage match trigger. There are also numerous hidden adjustments or refinements that I doubt many even know exist.
Fine rifles, a bit heavy until you replace the steel air cylinders with titanium, but after that a truly magnificent rifle. No fancy smooth twist barrel or loopy wheel trigger, just good old German engineering, rifled target barrels and great triggers.

Can I cut 1/2” off of my Fx Continuum adjustable stock?

This is one of my favorites but I just don't need it at the moment and would like it to go to someone that can use it. It's the .22/.25 version $130TYD

I definitely prefer fill ptobes to quick connect. There is no manufacturing standards for guick connect. It is a mismatched cluster jam. Some fit together, some don't. Contrast that with fill probes. Fill probes always work smoothly and efficiently. Fill probes will not fly off under pressure as the quick connect will if not fully engaged. The argument I hear for QC is universal fit, fine concept, failed execution. I'll take a probe over QC whenever possible

All scopes are priced shipped or can be seen and picked up in NE Ohio.

Thanks for looking.

Athlon Talos sold
Came as part of the AoA, We the plinkers Daystate Revere package new 6 months ago. It's my only ffp scope. I prefer sfp scopes. Perfect condition.


Optisan EVX 6-24x56. $250. Bought new from Trenier for $450 a couple years ago. Like new condition.



BSA Edge 2-7 pistol scope. Sold
Couple small marks, but optically it's like new and everything works fine.

Where is the bottle version!?!? Guys how awesome would it be if Huben put a 580cc bottle on the K1. Maybe for the K2? That would pretty much sell me on the spot. I really don’t like the cylinder air reservoirs…

Huben if you see this…please make a bottle version!!!

Up for sale is a labradar chronograph
$550 shipped ppff or pay fees, no issues.

I spend mine on airguns and such, the rest I waste.

Just curious what slugs you guys are shooting that are producing the best accuracy/groups for you Fx impact m3 or FX Crown MKII owners who have a Superior Heavy Liner?

Selling my 0dB Magnum moderator. It is a .30 size and will fit both 1/2” UNF and M20x1 threads. Lightly used and in great shape!

$210 shipped CONUS. PayPal F&F preferred.

Time to shake things up in the forum again
So many posts about your favorite pellets...
Makes me wonder about the other end of the spectrum a bit.
Now of I HAD to pick one....

The Gamo Silent Cat, black coated .177 pointed...

Only because some of my slingers REALLY don't like them.
My P17 won't even launch them out of the barrel(but my 880 will sling them decently)
Let's hear it; what pellets are you all steering clear of?*reasons?
no hate allowed in here, just preferences

I've been busy with work then when I get home I have my farm chores to do. Starting in the next few days I'll be cutting lumber on my sawmill so that will leave very little to no time to shoot. Today I took off work to build some fence that only took a few hours. That left me some time to shoot. I've only been shooting my RTI compact here lately going on about a year. I just love the little rifle and the barrel swap thing just about every manufacturer is doing.. I have the 510mm LW 177 barrel (I love shooting slugs in it. shoots pellets great also) and the 400mm CZ 25 barrel (great pellet barrel) I had an old HW 22 barrel I bought years ago so I machined it to fit my compact... It's also 510mm. Which it's wearing now. It's always been a great pellet barrel but back then there were just pellets..no slugs. Today I wanted to see if I could get it to shoot 22 slugs.. before I machined the HW Barrel a few weeks ago I pushed a slug through it.. it had no choke.. and was checking.217. I have some .2165, .217 and some .2175 NSA in 17.5gr and 20.2gr on hand.. it shot the .217 17.5gr and the 20.2gr right there with my 18gr pellets.. I had to up the reg from 100b to 125-130b and a small hammer spring adjustment to get the slugs to shoot... But yeah it loves them. In the end though I set it back up for the 18gr pellets for the job it has as of now.. starling duty.. I do plan on using the slugs when squirrel season comes in though.. all in all it has been a great day..

I found this to be interesting and an official WTH. I'm not going to argue with the guy because I can barely avenger (1+1)/2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSxr9AHER_s The video long and applies to PB's and I'd guess it also applies to pellet guns.

I am a wood stock, long gun PCP/PB rifle traditionalist and have no interest in black plastic tactical-style rifles. But I finally found a black, wood-stocked traditional rifle that is a one-hole shooter at 25 yards in my back yard. This was a LNIB purchase from AoA at a really good price and it is a beauty and a shooter. Very much backyard friendly with just the stock shroud with no moderator. However, I slipped on a 0dB 110C and it is just a pffff! This is a .22 Zbroia Hortitsia w/220cc tube in Black. 300 BAR fill. A beautiful gun made in Ukraine. Date of manufacture was March 2020, so it has the updated bolt latch, to prevent unintentional bolt blow back. Everything about this rifle exudes quality . . . did I mention it is just as accurate as my Daystate Huntsman Regal or my AA S510 Carbine or my BSA R10? A real tack driver, light weight and I think it is now my number one choice as a hunting rifle. I could not recommend this rifle more to anyone looking for an accurate and light weight traditional hunting rifle. I have a 30mm tube Optisan EVX 10x44mm scope (on sale at Utah Airguns) with low rings, that keep the scope as low as possible to the shroud. The comb of the stock is perfect height for these low rings/44mm scope.
