Please forgive if this has been covered before. I did not find after a search.

What steps are advised before shooting a new springer (in this case an HW95)?

Found this on the old yellow forum
Thanks!

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:



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:

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.

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.

Barrel thread on my Virtus is 1/2x28. , Is this the same as 1/2 UNF? I am so confused on these suppressor sizes.

Hello all,

I cannot seem find an option to recover existing password.
To change your password requires the old password, this makes no sense to me..
If i forget a password in ANY other place that requires one there is an option to do so, via textin or emailing a special code, a special link, or any number of other options.

Maybe i am missing something, if so i would appreciate a Moderator to reach out so i can proceed.

Thanks

not got here yet its brand new tank m18x1.5 threads 12 inchs long 54mm o/d

An absolute hammer!








SOLD!!

Original thread. I was able to trade for the rifle and I thought I would be shooting it more than what I am. Though the rifle has been sitting in my safe and not doing me any good right now. So I am looking at moving it down the line to someone that will use the rifle more than I do. Not really sure on the price, and not really sure on what I would want for a trade. But offer something up and we can talk. Worse I can say is no. Trying to find something fun that I will use a lot of .... and not sure what that is

If selling out right, after talking with a few guys in the know as well as a few guys at FX they were saying a fair price for the rifle would be around the $1500 price.

Have been lusting after a Leshiy 2 for some time..... so that is an option

Here is another 25 caliber moderator that I nicked while I was cutting the tube. It is 30 mm by 120 mm and weighs about 3 oz. 1/2 UNF threads. This blemish is a little bit worse than the other one was. What you see is what you get. $30.00 shipped CONUS only, PayPal only. Return it cod if you're not happy with it when you get.

I'm getting another dog and I'm considering naming him something to go with my favorite hobby; Air gunning!
He is a Pug / Chihuahua mix.
So far, all I can think of is BB or Trigger.
Any good idea ideas out there?!

We know the FX Impacts perform and they have a proven track record and many, many fans. Please don’t turn this into a brand bashing thread. Many have been quick to compare the BRK Ghost to the Impact or Maverick… Forgetting that the BRK Ghost is a somewhat mechanical version of the Delta Wolf and has great lineage. Would love to see a direct “stock, out the box build” comparison from someone lucky enough to own both (Ghost and Impact). Watched a video this morning where certain comments were made on build quality and am curious. The person, who owns a Red Wolf and has shot a Delta Wolf, felt the Ghost was a better gun than the Lobos…

I was Shooting Sunday in really good weather, so my expectations was HIGH

But then upon unpacking i saw i forgot my hex tools at home, so not able to dial on the "rough" setup i had from home, so for sure not a flat shot string, but also not knowing how uneven i was CUZ i did not even bother putting the chrono on the rifle.

Still ! It was not half bad shooting the 2" Shoot NC targets at 75 M ( shooting 13.43 gr KO slugs )

First i put up 9 targets, and started to shoot 5 shot groups, which was sort of OK, and then after that i just hammered each target / Swiss cheesed them.

Then for the upper 3 targets i switched to shooting 3 shots after the 2 numbers and the red dot on each target,,,,,, and then Swiss Cheesing them after that.
But one of them i just had to pass on turning into Swiss cheese as the 3 shots was pretty damn good.



Then i put up 9 new stickers, and went to town again with the 5 shot groups, and again i was lucky so i just had to not Swiss Cheese one of them as aside for that one damn shot i got close making a 1/2 inch group.



TBH i think the #2 regulator on my Maverick,,,,,, it might have to forgo its location in favor of a Huma made one, i still have that one shot every 10 shots that just come off lower / slower than the other ones.

Clearly something was not quite as it was supposed to be CUZ i had to chase the POI with 1 clicks now and then on my turrets. ( no wind to blame )

I've got only a few hours of run time on mine but I'm still very pleased with it. I use secolube oil and I manage to keep it under 45C when filling my two 68cc tanks from 2800 psi to 4500 psi back to back.
At $110 price I just bought another one for a backup spare.

Got home this arvo Ms bought me something
She does prac pistol so likes her powder burners, not that I dont
unexpected and the weak point IMO in the fx Impact is its rail

RTI Prophet — Extended Scope Rail?​

I feel the RTI Prophet scope rail is pretty short....
Because I'd like to mount the scope farther back (yupp, I'm already researching cantilever mounts).

And it's too short for me because I'd like to attach other accessories on it: maybe a laser, maybe a contraption to attach a sling, maybe a flashlight (nope, the kitchen sink is already attached to the counter, my wife insisted that it stays there).


What options have you found to extend the rail?

How much would it cost if I asked someone to make me a longer replacement rail?


Thanks!

Matthias

Let me know what you have.

So I’ve had an M3 for a few months now. Been shooting 15,18, and Hades jsb pellets. awesome accuracy with the hades at 50 yards.

Decided to turn the gun up and get the fx 25.4 grn pellets moving and give them a try.
1st reg at 160ish
2nd reg at 140-145
macro at 14
Micro just a tad over 4.5
valve is 1/2 a turn past the 4th line

I didn’t shoot over the chrony today but I’m somewhere around 950 - 955 fps, at least that’s where it was when I turned it up.

Today I wanted to see if I was ”on paper” — could only get 37 yards where I was today. Shot 15 pellets. Holy sheet.

There’s 10 shots here. The flyer was my 1st shot for this group. I gotta try this on the 100 yard range.

So, I've been meaning to get a Thermal Monocle for some time, but I was going back and forth on features vs. price. Having an ATN THoR 4 384 scope already, I was hesitant to go lower in the resolution department, but I also didn't want to spend almost the same price as a thermal scope. After much thought, I pulled the trigger on the AGM Taipan.


This probably wasn't the Taipan you were all thinking of. But it's a great Taipan nonetheless!

It was the same price as an ATN OTS XLT 2-8x, it's is lighter and higher resolution (256x192 vs 160x120), but its half the optical zoom as the ATN (10mm vs 19mm), less detection range (670 yards vs 460 yards), and less battery life (8 hours vs 10 hours), and it doesn't have as nice of a housing (to me anyway).

Although that list of cons seems to be kinda long for the AGM, I much rather have the higher resolution than anything else.

Kodiak extra heavy. 25 Cal took already a javalina (30 yards) and a coyote (60 yards) with head shots. 60 foot pounds.

JSB Hades. 30 took already two coyotes (55 yards) with chest shots. 75 foot pounds.

JSB 81.02 grain. 357 Cal took two whitentailed deer (35 yards) with chest shots. And one with a front head shot(40!yards). Took three javalina (40 yards) with head shots. 130 foot pounds.

JSB 44.7 grain . 30 Cal took two javalina (30 yards) with head shots. Two coyotes with head shots (50 yards) .

I have a brand new, never mounted Airmax Compact 6-24x50. Sold the gun it was purchased for. Only out of the box for inspection and pics. My loss your gain. New retail is 449.99 + tax & shipping. My price, WAS $400, NOW $380 TYD, FIRM. PP F&F or USPS MO. Thanks for looking.
