When is it time to move on to a new gun?

I’ve had the luxury of owning quite a few high end guns in the short time I’ve been in this hobby. That money has long gone, and though I have 4 high end pcp’s, I sometimes wonder if they’re what I want/need.

Sometimes I find myself keeping one of my guns to try and change myself to fit the gun, but is this a good idea? My Dreamline is the cheapest gun in my arsenal, yet for me, it’s the easiest and most accurate to shoot. Is it because my other guns aren’t accurate? Heck no! I just can’t shoot them as accurately.

So the question comes up, when is it time to throw in the towel and sell one to buy something else to see if it’s more suited for my needs? Or do I just keep trying till I’m accurate with what I’ve got?

One way to know you're hooked...

Woke up this morning with a sore right shin. Knew right away what caused it- have been working on building a good kneeling position for field target. Think I have the position down, but need a lot of repetition to build muscle memory & consistency.
Nothing serious, a little stretching worked it out. Might cut back just a bit on the kneeling shots for the next few practice sessions. Nowhere near good enough at standing or bucket 'n sticks to neglect practicing those, so there will be no trouble filling the time 😁.
Got to thinking about how fast this game ate me up. When the calendar hit October, had never been to a field target match. Threatened it for a couple years, but always found an excuse (some real, some imagined). Took possession of a dandy .177 rifle (one well suited to Hunter Class FT) on October 1st, & mounted a scope (also well suited to FT) that night. Spent nearly all free time the next week getting dope & marking the scope side wheel for ranging.
If you're browsing this subforum you probably already know this- it's a bit of work (fun work) to get things just right for holdovers & ranging. Parallax wheel markings frustrated me a bit in the first few attempts, but learned some things. First, don't use a target that has little texture or definition, makes it more difficult than it needs to be. Second, don't try to get your longer ranges in extremely low light (this was just pure dumba$$ery on my part). Third, the progressive lenses in my prescription glasses do not play nice with scope parallax ranging.
Managed to get it all worked out by the weekend. Freshly out of excuses, drove over the river & through the woods to my first match. A great reception from the veterans had me liking it before the shooting ever started. By the time we were moving on from the first lane, the infection had set in.
Still October & now waking up with soreness from practicing forced position shots. Drove 3+ hours to my second match, & barring unforeseen circumstances, will be driving 4+ hours to a match this weekend.

Hook is in there pretty deep 🎣

I have a total of 4 air rifles and will be selling 3 of them in separate ads. Just not shooting much anymore because of other hobbies. I will ship anywhere in the US for 1000.00.

What are some good ideas for actively working towards growing the sport?
Do you guys have kid specific events in your areas?

#matchresultsmonday
#believeitornot I didn’t actually shoot a match this weekend… I did however get plenty of #pewpews in with the kids at our local @utahplinksters event This event focuses on providing a positive experience and education of the fundamental #firearm safety rules! We took out some sweet #airguns thanks to @utah_airguns and the kids had a blast shooting all sorts of Halloween related targets provided by @801_saltcity_shooter I’d encourage you to get out with your young ones and share the love also

An excellent farm yard hunting rifle. Loves the 18g JSBs, which it will stack all day long. Comes with a hard FX case.

NLA Out of service SCBA tanks. Sold Pending funds

103316.jpeg


I bought 20 of these for my pesting business here in Michigan from a Fire Department at a "Donation" price of 40 bucks each. Money going back into the purchase of their new 30yr Scott tanks.

These are 45 minute tanks @ 4500 psi
(6.8l size)

These are "Out of Service" tanks. Fill on your home compressor. Last hydro check on most tanks was done in 2018.

I'm using for what I do here, 10 tanks per week. It'll slow down during the winter months. (3 dairy farms and 2 large greenhouse garden centers)

They may not be pretty, but they work.

As with any high pressure air vessel, use at your own risk. These are USED, OUT OF SERVICE!

For what it's worth, I've scoped the inside of the 10 tanks I use, they are clean and showed no signs of corrosion. They were all full at the time I bought them from the Fire Department.

Asking $60 each plus shipping. If you're in Michigan, buying 2 or more, I'm willing to meet you within 50 miles of Williamston. (48895) Or you can come pick up here.
Full disclosure, profit of 20 per tank is donated back to Fire Station. They're a small volunteer station that really needs the help of the community. 😊

If local, and you want me to fill to 4500 psi, add $5 bucks per tank. 😊

These do come with the valves.

Shipping seems to be around 20 bucks +/- a couple depending on actual location.

Thanks much for checking out the listing.

Note***

This is the valve adapter I've been using for the past 8 mos.

Installing 720 Power Plenum on FX Impact MK2 (Pre Power Plenum)

Howdy All,

Looking for advise and things to look out for when installing the new 720 Power Penum on a MK2 (Pre Power Plenum) Impact.

I have read on another thread that guys were having trouble with fitment issues when trying to get the new Plenum Tube to fit in the Frame Housing?

Others have had issues with getting the correct velocity after installing and some say it's the new springs that come with the kit.

The kit I purchase is the while kit made for upgrading the MK1 and MK2. The kit also includes the new Power Block.

Any and All information is much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

This is the beauty of the Impact...

Hello AGN:

About this time last year, I ordered two new Impact M3's: 1) a 500mm 0.25 in bronze and 2) a 600mm 0.22 in black. I ditched 0.22 pellets a number of years ago and went exclusively to 0.25 because I really only shoot ground squirrels in my yard. But with all the buzz around slugs, I put a 0.22 slug liner in the 600mm and set out to make myself a slugger. After a little bit of tinkering, I got the 0.22 to shoot the NSA 218 24.8g slugs really well. In the process, I put just about every accessory I wanted on each rifle and ended up with the following pair:

Impact Screws Latest1.jpg
Impact Screws Latest2.jpg


The sad news was once I got the 0.22 slugger set it and sighted in, I hardly ever shot it after that. The main reason was that I don't really need slugs for my normal use - but the other big factor was that this black beast weighed a ton and was very cumbersome in this configuration with the fancy butt pad, bigger 580cc bottle, long rail and larger moderator.

This Fall, just as boredom with my current rifles kicks in and I start thinking about buying a new gun like the BRK Ghost, I wanted to see if I could reinvent the 0.22 into something that I'd actually use. After many days of religiously scouring the Classifieds, a few FB messages to DonnyFL and then several more days of tirelessly refreshing all the tracking numbers, I had everything needed for the makeover. Back are the factory buttpad, smaller 300cc bottle and Tatsu LDC. Replaced the scope rail and trigger guard and went with a 0.22 500mm Superior liner setup w/ CF barrel tuner. Twisted a few knobs, turned a couple of dials and I've now got this compact little beauty shooting 0.22 JSB 18.13g pellets at 880fps very accurately with minimal effort. It's quieter, uses less air, costs less for ammo . . . and still plenty strong enough to take out its first squirrel this morning with a one shot DRT kill from about 40yds away. And..it's way lighter and so much easier to maneuver!

So with a few very easy changes, I've converted a little used rifle into one that might be my new go-to backyard gun! It's like I have a new gun and (for now) no longer have the itch to drop $2,000 on a new Ghost. I love the versatility and flexibility of the Impact platform . . . here's what they look like as of today:

Reticle Preference (w pics)

Here are some of the reticles from scopes I am looking at, I like them all (otherwise I wouldn't consider buying the scope) but some I like more than others.

Which of these do YOU like the most and why? (Feel free to post pics of some others I left out)

Below are: Athlon Cronus, Maven RS4, Tract Toric ELR, Sightron (2), Zeiss S3, Valdada Crusader and Nightforce

I favorite of all of these is the Athlon reticle. It is just so clean and easy to look at. I also really like the Valdada, Zeiss and Sightron.

Do you keep your pcp “filled” with air?

My tendency is to refill my guns after I shoot them down to the “need to refill“ level. I have an electric pump and wondering if this is a good idea or irrelevant as I can fill them fairly quickly. I suppose I could put a little back in it just for emergency shots at a starling or crow. Of course the real answer is to get a larger air tank to fill it quickly when needed but I don’t have one of those “yet” . So, is it harder on the gun to keep it filled with air or am I worrying about nothing? I have an FX Impact and Benjamin Marauder.
