2000.00 buyer pays actual shipping cost CONUS only i use pirate ship so it won't be crazy.

My feedback is solid buy with confidence

Bought her from zx10wall in the classifieds on Sunday, and she showed up today. It's my first "expensive" PCP in the family. In 4 months I've sure went all in on PCPs. Love the tinkering and being able to shoot daily. First thing I did was pull the barrel off and clean it, then pulled the Zulus off my MA2 and put it on the LCS. I have a 20moa picitinny to picitinny on the way to bring my LRF reticle back into the picture at 20x. Didn't have any issues, put probably 300 rounds thru it. Only used full auto for the video, oh the smile it brought to my face. Shooting FX 16gr for now because it's what I had and it's cheap. 21 rounds sure goes fast in a semi auto. The ease of tuning is an absolute game changer compared to tuning my MA2. Accuracy seems to be very good, was hitting a muffler I've got hanging at 175 yards shot after shot. The pellet pens I bought for my son's PP700 is perfect for loads the magazine. No fiddling and it's able to seat the pellet with the next pellet.

LOOKING FOR A FX KING 600MM GRS STOCK , TRADE FOR HI END SCOPE OR A STYER PROX , 22 CAL OR EVOL 15 INCH , 22 OR EVOL ,30 CAL LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GOT

Looking to buy a Notos that has been worked over a little. Something sub 500$

Any of you trying to convince PB'ing friends to give air power a try should just look at the prices of PB loading components or loaded ammo to make your argument.....then take your buds to the range to shoot air guns.

I put serious BP shooting on the back burner for years and was floored recently when I saw the prices of powder, bullets and primers.

I can't understand why anyone who loves to shoot a lot doesn't consider an air gun, especially with the development of larger caliber/high power PCP's and associated matches that are popping up.

I bought an m10x1 to 1/2-20 adapter from DFL, but the body of the adapter is too short and the space between the shroud & the tube is too little to let any of my moderator screw all the way down. Found a 3D printed 1/2-20 Male to 1/2-20 Female, printed it, and it is too wide for the channel between the tube & the shroud. Broke out Mr. Dremel, narrowed it down and wasn't happy with the result. Found a male-female on BestFittings.com (Brit) and paid through the teeth in shipping but it *should* work. 16mm which is the correct diameter.

Any other options out there? M10x1 to 1/2-20 is the required adapter.

Thanks,
Matt

My phone's been telling me that my storage is full for a few weeks and I've been slowly going through it, trying to clean up old images. In that process I found some images that reminded me that I never shared much about my experience with the Monster Grands last summer.

With most event's scheduling, I don't get many chances to play in the 100 yard benchrest game. BUT, @Martin3528's EFT/EBR event near Williams, AZ last summer gave me that opportunity. In the weeks leading up to that match I spent a bunch of time practicing and comparing set-ups to optimize my chances of doing well. Ultimately I landed on the .22/28.55 Grands as my best option for the benchrest portion of his events.

With the .22/28.55s at 960-965fps I was averaging EBR scores of 225-235 at 100 yards, over the course of 6 or so weeks when I was really shooting a lot. I had a couple cards in the high 230s, but most were in that 225-235 range. This was of course on home court advantage in my backyard, where I feel like I've got a good handle on the wind.

Gun used was a BRK Ghost with the LW 1:30, 5 groove polygonal barrel.

In the competition I was practicing for, the Ghost and the .22/28.55s combined to shoot a 211 and a 218. The 218 from the Grands was the 4th highest of 33 overall cards (all were shot at 100 yards).


In multiple instances of measuring the BCs of the Grands I found them to be in the 0.056-0.062 range, from this particular barrel and at these speeds. So, pretty similar to the 25.4gr Monster RDs.

I also tried them from an RTI 1:32, 6 groove polygonal rifled barrel (RTI's "LR" designation), in the 925-935range. They were good here, but not quite as good as they were from the 1:30 @ 960ish.

With the Grands I did not deal with the prevalent flyer issue seen from most batches of the .22/25.4gr Monster RDs.

The Grands seemed to do best in this particular barrel when lubed with Gunzilla.

Here the images I found on my phone that prompted this post, the 237 is one of the better examples, the other two were pretty typical.




So why DIDN'T the .22/28.55 Grands take off and become a commonly used pellet in the 100 yard product showcase/EBR/RMAC/PA type bench-rest matches?
In my opinion the answer is two fold:

1. The .30 options from the Chinese companies hit shortly thereafter, with BCs in the 0.07+ range, and the ever forward march of progress stepped right past the JSB .22/28.55 Grands.
2. Not everybody had the minimal flyer Grands experience that I enjoy from this particular barrel.

As for why they also don't seem to have been picked up much by the plinkers and hunter and non-competition guys,,,,I think the answer there is squarely because JSB priced themselves out of a lot of sales, (same as they did with the .22/20.83grain Lights). The Grands are some of highest priced small-bore (.22 and under) pellets on the market. Or at least they were the last time I did a market analysis. They're more expensive than the .20 NSA slugs I've been primarily using for my long range/small-bore fun, and so I mostly shoot the .20 NSA slugs when throwing the long bomb.

With my personal hard line in the sand of the power wars not exceeding .22, they offer a slight advantage over the MRDs, mostly in the reduced incidence of flyers. I've been wanting to try the Grands in the pellet class/full monty of one of Ben's Ultimate Field Target matches. It just hasn't happened yet (too many guns, not enough time).

If you're a staunch .22 guy, have a gun with the oomph necessary for 28.44grains, and aren't scared away by the price/shot, the 28.55grain Grands are worth looking into.

Considering the vast selection in the classifieds section I'm left wondering why some of you part w your guns

Obviously it's often a means to clean out some space & acquire some spending cash to maybe try something different. But I see a lot of newer, high-end guns that come up which begs the question in my mind of what's the point of getting rid of a perfectly good gun? As a group there it seems like there are often comments made in reference to how expensive the costs of this activity can be, but it's funny how we tend to fully throw logic out the window when considering gun replacement costs.

Do golfers go thru clubs in the same way that we collectively go thru guns?

None. You grab your 12 gauge or a pistol if you want to stay inconspicuous. You hope and pray your airguns are ok after a catastrophe. This is what happened during the fires. I grabbed my 9mm pistol and that’s it. No leaks just plain reliable.

I purchased this rifle just to "play with." After about 150 pellets & only receiving it this past Monday, having five very "high end" air rifles in my vault, I decided it just isn't for me. I paid Pyramid Air $800 for the rifle and bipod. SELLING FOR $550 SHIPPED WITHIN THE CONTINENTAL US.
If you want the Athlon Argos 6-24 Mil FFP scope, also new, add $250. Price is firm. Paymemt via Venmo or PayPal.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Will come in factory packaging with all manuals, etc.

Hi everyone. Eager to learn more about the air gun world and how to get the most enjoyment out of mine.

I recently purchased a new Hatsan at44 177 long qe from PA for $138.00 tax and shipping costs included. I as of now don't have a pump so I am unable to see if I got a good deal or if I got a spectacular deal. It seems like everything is in order but I am as new to pcp air rifle as anyone can be. I didn't even know that there was such a thing out there. Sure I had bb guns when I was a kid but I didn't realize that the technology was at such a different level.
6 months ago I needed to get rid of some rats. So I got a M&P .177 co2. put a laser/ light on the rail and rats I did kill.
Then one day a friend handed me a marksman 0035 and asked if I could fix it. Never worked on any guns before so I said I would look into it and see if there was anything I could do. I turned to YouTube and found in time that I probably needed a new piston seal by the symptoms it displayed. Found out how to disassemble it on the cheap, cause I'm poor, built a vise to release the tension, got it apart,ordered a $12 seal from Amazon via Australia shipping more than seal for total of $26. Seal on,gun cleaned and inspected (but being a newb didn't know what to look for )gun silicon greased and put back together(pleasantly surprised ). Got a pellet from the small tin the owner had left with me(cheap daisys)loaded one in closed the barrel and CRACK. Well that made me smile.
Since then I have disassembled added shims to the spring guide and top hat. Added a good amount of silicon grease and put it back in working order(much more confident each reassemble). The only thing you hear when breaking the barrel is the click as the trigger catch is engaged,no more crunchy sound. Cheap scope 4x32 on it pellet loaded and I'll be dang it's a good little gun.Not pellet picky and shoots straight. What more could you want. Well the right thing to do is to get it back to the owner. Didn't want to though because I got attached to the increased power over my previous air gun experiences. What to do?
About a month goes by and for my birthday my friends get me a Gamo varmint 177 and know I think that I got it all. I spend my time learning about my new gun not willing to disassemble and void my warranty and finding out that overall it is a good gun.It has a pretty hard recoil but after learning about how to hold it properly and allowing the gun to do it's thing I'm getting pretty good at hitting what I'm aiming at.
So all of that leads me to here. I had become more and more interested in improving my shots but really just ended up going deeper and deeper down the air hole. I would watch videos of people shooting pcps and amazed by the silence.The complete lack of recoil. WOW. Then there was the price tag. Double WOW. Out of my price range. Sure there are a few crappy looking low end pcps but nothing that I was willing to gamble on. Then a couple of weeks ago I'm going through airgun sites looking at the nice things that I can't afford a I find Pyramid air and they are advertising 350% off a hatsan at44 177 qe long. I thought this is a scam for sure. So I researched PA and found them to be reputable. So I researched the gun and I found out so much about the Hatsan company,and the At44 platform. I found some negative and positive things about both but found much more positives overall. I really want it but I shouldn't get it because I really don't have the money to spare. But how often do you get a chance to own a brand new $500 pcp for a $138.00 with tax and delivery costs included,hmmm,not very often...... So I bought it and it is here now and I'm pretty excited to try it out.I'm anxious to know did I have a stroke of good luck or did get a project that I can't afford to make work. Hope to get a pump soon and find out.
Hope you found interest in this post and would love to hear about your experience with At44 long qe 177.

As PCP technology moves into more and more expensive territory what is the best rifles left behind.
I am getting quite partial to my FX Bobcat .30 and imagine its siblings Boss & Royale are just as good.
It is still a laser accurate rifle.

Secondly, the Career 707 in its many parents, names and styles.
Just a powerful and HEAVY rifle.

What else is up there and why?

And no, not MK1 vs Mk2 version, the whole line.

@Firewalker
I saw a thread where you were talking about aftermarket cocking levers for the notos. Look what I found on eBay.

So I need to replace the barrel O-rings on my Notos. I have looked everywhere to find them.
There is a guy on e-Bay who wants 20.00 bucks a pair. Sounds pricey to me and they are not O.E.M.
I bought the "Captain O-ring" rebuild kit for the .177/.22/.25 Umarex Gauntlet hoping it would work, with no luck.
Any suggestions?

Hi,

What is the shortest and the most effective moderator you have on your Ghost that you love?

What data do you use for determining "useable shots"? Is it how many shots before refilling the air tank, a FPS range, a FPE range, accuracy group size ? Thank you.

which is quieter at the same muzzle velocity , .177 or .22?

what about with the same gun and same moderator but different cal pellet?

i’m suspecting .177 but would like to hear everyone’s opinions or personal experience on this. thanks everyone!

With the crap weather we have right now, I got bored and machined an insert to go in the receiver end of the carbon fiber barrel sleeve I've got on my Cricket rifle and using the thread adaptor I machined for the moderator I can tension the carbon fiber sleeve against the face of the receiver and add tension to the barrel. I tested it out on my range today and I can see a difference it made in the grouping of the Nielson 17.5 gr. slugs I'm shooting at 50 yards. I absolutely love this little rifle.....I've got a like new M3 Impact that shoots lights out but I enjoy shooting this Cricket more....

Here's a full mag (14) shots at a measured 50 yards.........

I was given a beat up 124 back around 1993 or so. The stock was broken at the pistol grip, the barrel had some pitting and missing blueing, but otherwise it was more or less intact. I repaired the stock and had a luthier friend spray a poly finish over it.
Once it was reassembled, I discovered that it shot way high and far left, to the point that the sights ran out of adjustment before getting the gun to zero.
One of my neighbors was a "gun guy", so he and I attempted to straighten the barrel. As I recall it, this involved a pair of V-blocks, a dial indicator and a very large dead-blow hammer.
These efforts met with some modest success, such that with a homemade elevator block under the front sight, and an aftermarket rear aperture sight cranked all the way over, it will shoot within a 1/2" of center at 10 yards, delivering nice little groups. But it ain't right, and I want it fixed.
Any advice or recommendations ?
