Shot count is very important to some shooters. But can be an overstated and overrated criteria. Because there are other attributes that trump it. Depends on what “an individual” is doing with their airgun. For instance, a 30 shot count PCP in a high intensity pesting environment? Subjective? You bet! But even if you go 75% on kills? Heck, even 50%, that’s 15 kills. The majority of air gunners would be lucky to do half that. If target shooting competitively? You have fill sources near by… I used to overly worry about shot count. Now? I just simply shoot and refill when necessary. The only hardship is to the pests. Now take the above and apply it to a scenario where you’re after a game species? You have more than enough shots. Because game bag limits are way below any shot counts. For plinking? All bets are off. Then we just want to “shoot and keep shooting”. Overall a fun, first world problem to have… Thoughts…?

Thursday late evening the wind died down enugh i set up 100 rack and sighted in , yesterday gale force no shooting,. This morning before the sun broke over the horizon it was still so checked my work..

R9 , cphp .177, 100y,. Stock irons. Rested on o"lsock and a block.



Not bad if i say so myself.

I saw this a starting thinking... Why the hell... Pyramid Air... April Fools.

Cheers!

Can adds for junk like this with Taylor Swift be far behind?

The Pink Floyd song, Low Spark of High Heeled Boys,
"the gun that didn't make any noise"
Is a line in the lyrics. Airgun?

I assume that the Walther Reign M2 is limited to 12 ft/Lbs in Great Britain. Krale has a few available in .177 but they list the energy as much higher. I'm tempted to buy the M2 in .177 even though I would prefer it in .22 cal . I could live with the 12 ft/lb rifle since I will only be punching paper at 25 yards with it. Anyone know if the gun would ship to California at the lower power rating and if a Donny FL moderator can be installed on this gun?

Thanks,
Kim

How come more people in US aren't into small game eradication hunt (rats etc).



I think there's nothing wrong with prestigious big game hunting, for instance getting a deer or a moose or something like that. Hunting feral hogs looks great. However with all of this you could spend one day or several days and only get one kill.

Also the logistics in doing something like moving pigs would require a lot of physical labor ATV's and things of that nature.



I think it would be much funnier to hunt rats pigeons or iguanas

Maybe it's just me but shooting 100 rats would be more fun to me than shooting one large animal.

In the US it doesn't seem like it's as popular as in Europe or in England. It seems like in Europe and England they're huge on rat hunting probably because of gun restrictions. Just like to get people's thoughts.

on another note if you're in the New England area I'm looking for people to do eradication hunting with.

Just received my new Crosman 2300T today and after looking it over I attempted to mount the supplied rear sight. No go! They, believe it or not, supplied it with the wrong size Allen wrench Called Crosman and they are to send me a correct one next week. Any one else have the same bad luck? Anyway this is my second bad luck with new Crosman pistols this week. The first bad one I received this week was a new 2240XL that leaked quickly. Hopefully the replacement will be better. Charles

The previous owner marketed this gun as "Travis's personal Max Air from JSAR" and "pristine safe queen". I can’t confirm, but it is in great condition with only a couple of very minor blemishes in the wood.

It groups JSB 18.1s and old domed Premiers under 1" at 50 yards pretty consistently and will occasionally do 1/2". It cycles reliably and holds air. Very quiet with the included 3D printed moderator. I haven't recorded a complete shot string but it seems to shoot forever on a fill and I have no reason to doubt the claim of 80 shots per fill.

It's a fun gun but I mostly shoot paper at distance and that's not the point of this gun. Comes with 2 magazines and fill probe. $600 for gun and moderator shipped CONUS, PayPal plus fees or F&F. Scope and rings for another $40 – with purchase of gun only. Bipod not included.

Hello friends,

I would make this a challenge, if it were even a tiny bit "normal" that anyone else have this kind of crazy wind. This would be good training for the RMAC as the wind was about the same, but the stationary targets would be more representative of that competition.

Anyway, here is a link to the (pretty long) video:

I didn't want to edit it much as all of the setup time and crazy wind blowing the heck out of things is what makes this interesting, IMO. I was pretty happy that I nailed the Coke can at about 80 yards in the first shot , and then shanked the next two on a stationary target at about 50 yards. Such is life!

So, this was what I was doing while Mother Nature was rearranging our lawn furniture for us. Such a nice woman!

Let me know what you think, and if you can/would/should shoot in such insane conditions.

Cheers!

Jonathan

Just a note, before I got started, I had to "rescue" my cans from being stuck on the trees. This is how one of them looked, and note the heavy washer I have tied onto the string to help prevent this kind of thing. When the winds are THIS strong, I'd probably need a brick instead.

How many people actually got there's by now? I've been waiting for mine for several months now...starting to get impatient. What's the consensus on the 6-24X EPL4? Is the glass up to the task?

Original select fire Max in excellent condition with only a couple of marks in the metal and a light mark in the wood under the grip. It’s been a bench-only gun. It isn’t much louder than the action with the INCLUDED 3D printed moderator. On a 200 bar fill it comes off the regulator in the 4th 10-round magazine, but with JSB Kings on a single fill I’ve shot the best 9 consecutive 5-shot 50-yard groups of my life. More accurate than my LW or CZ-barreled guns that have better triggers, but maybe it’s me.

An Altaros regulator is installed and I’ll throw in an older version of the regulator that would need a rebuild. The pressure gauge face seems to move freely so isn’t much use in absolute terms, and as is seemingly the case with all of these guns, in full auto the probe sometimes doesn’t stop in the retracted position, so you may have to switch to semi to remove the magazine. Holds air.

Comes with the moderator, 2 magazines, the original shroud cap and wooden cheek piece, and a double magazine that only feeds consistently on one side – may need a spring. Scope, rings and bipod not included but could be negotiated at reasonable rates. I seem to have fewer fill probes of this size than guns that use them, so I wasn’t going to include one.

$1350 plus actual shipping, Paypal plus fees or F&F.

Anybody have these new magic beans yet that actually bought them? I’ve seen the pre-orders on dealer's web sites but no actual physical pellets yet. It’ll take a strong gun to get them to about 870 fps which should be a good speed. 94 FPE. The “Influencers” and “‘Tubers” of course will either love them or say nothing at all, else ZAN will stop sending them free sh!t. . Would like to hear from AGN members…

On a slightly different but similar topic, has anyone seen an Influencer or 'Tuber do a bad or even mediocre review in the past couple of years? You'd think all PCPs were tack drivers if all you did was watch YouTube and Instagram...

Also, it should be interesting to see how many Match Directors in April tournaments violate their own rules and allow these pellets to be used, despite the fact they are not yet "commercially available - mass produced" pellets... I’m mainly talking about the inaugural NAC in NH and the EFT GP - 100Y event in Oregon. It'll be a different story once they are available to the general public of course.

Anybody know the difference between the Veteran and Veteran 11?

So I just sold this FX .25 Dreamline to a friend and he let his son use it to hunt - red dot at 30 yards

Have hunted with this the last two seasons with great success! Have taken 4 deer and farthest was 75 yard heart shot!
10 inches was cut from the barrel and recrowned to make it much easier to hunt with and did not hurt any accuracy at all.
Still making 450fpe with 280 grain Mr Hollow points on a 300 bar fill.
The target is 4 shots at 50 yards and first shot to the right was before scope adjustment!
Going a different direction for next season so this one is going to a new home! You won't be disappointed it has a great trigger too.
Asking $750 shipped and scope and sling not included in this sale. PayPal FF preferred.

Thanks for looking

Your opinions, please..

I haven't been back at this permission for about a year now. The rats population came back in full force. Lots of rats were roaming the area and I was busy sending the Hades downrange thru my HW100T with the Pard008 LRF night vision.

It was a fun shooting night and with the rats collected, I was able to use them as bait for my Coyote #6 hunt.

Enjoy.

A nice, used HW95 in .22 caliber will be in my hands in a few days. Those of you that have experience with this rifle and caliber, please tell me what to expect as far as, well, anything and everything.

Things like maintenance, accuracy, scope recommendations, best shooting techniques, good pellet choices, etc.

I have researched a little bit on the rifle, but it’s good to hear from real shooters in the real world.

What say ye?

I found specs and pricing for Veteran 2.

It appears to be set up for air slugs.

What do you guys think?
