In less than 2 years the Air Arms XTi-50 has made a permanent mark on the Field Target circuit.​

Gun and scope are basically brand new. Have shot literally 1 magazine through them.

Will sell as a set for $5000. If you'd like to buy them separate make me an offer on one or the other!

Gun retails for: $2,795
Scope retails for: $4,200

I have received a couple links to what I believe is the new JTS store website. Correct me if its
been around. It contains Xisico products as well. Prices are fair. Here’s the link. https://www.jtsstore.com

A few years back I sold a really nice blue streak in its original box on Ebay. The seller threatened to report me to Ebay and trash my 100% rating if I didn't refund $50 back to him because I didn't disclose a torn tab on the box. No complaint about the gun. Buyers like this make sellers disclose the condition of their items as "not working for parts only". Even if the item is in perfect working condition the scammers ruin it by gaming the system. Ebay was of no help and sided with the buyer.
Trying to find a site where like minded buyers and sellers can buy and sell using ethics and common sense. If there is a nick, scratch, doesn't hold air etc. say it. Most of my buyers on Ebay report back that it is nicer than they expected. These were mostly classic Mustang parts.
What is the history of AGNs buyer/seller satisfaction? I have a collection to start selling somewhere.

Just viewed a burn scar map on news this morning that had the community of ACTON well inside a Burned area area devastated by the wild fires.
Not read anything if or not AAA lost there facility or not ?
Anyone know anything ? as I sure hope Tom and all his efforts did not go up in smoke

I have my Crosman 362 for about a year now. This little pumper is light-weight and insanely accuracy at 10-20 yard shooting off-hand. I now consider throwing in a Crosman steel breech so I can mount a scope for long-range shooting. I have read that the screw on the steel breech is not flush and loading a pellet is problematic. Some also complained that the muzzle speed drops after swapping in the steel breech. Is this still a problem? Shall I get the breech after all?

Crummy weather and no scope rings has kept me from shooting my new to me R8. Today I mounted a scope and finally got to shoot the rifle. When I first got the rifle I was disappointed in the heft of the rifle. With the scope mounted it balances well enough that it still feels good in hand. Much better than I thought it would. Even though it's 15 ounces heavier than my modern Hw50 the weight isn't obvious in hand.

It's not a powerhouse. JSB 7.33s average 670 fps and 8.44s 615 fps. It's a bit slower than my Hw30s but I'm sure I'll be able to bump it up a little bit past them. I'll be happy if I get close to 9fpe out of it

Accuracy is hard to judge since I was only shooting a couple of pellet types at 20 yards. It wasn't great but wasn't scary either. It's what I expect from an old gun that wasn't shot in a while.

The gun doesn't have enough droop to be a problem but the barrel leans right enough that it needs to be fixed. Overall the rifle handles well enough that I'm happy to have it.

Hw50 (Mamma Bear) on the left = 7lbs,4oz
R8 on the right = 8lbs, 3oz
Now that I like her. I'll straighten the barrel and I'll take a peek inside to see what I want to do for a kit.

Be well all

I just saw this topic the other day, and found it very curious.
I have never heard of this before.
Has anyone ever used this method for their scopes?

Part 1 will have results and part 2 will be photos.

I usually compile the data into a big table. It's also rather common for me to get requests for photos of score cards. Soooo, I'm going to just share the score cards. They have the equipment lists and hit and miss info.

We had great weather, slightly overcast, short sleeve weather, very little wind. It was a very welcome relief from the -7 nights and highs in the teens I've been having up here in the high country of Arizona.

This was the course of fire....Some pretty dang tough shots in there. For example, 3/8" kill zone at 20 yards?!?! That particular target would be a Troyer Factor 53.3 on the classic kill distance divided by kill zone basic formula. Ultimate? Certainly.


There are two basic cut-offs for power levels at these UFT matches, if someone is under 50fpe, they can shoot at all three targets (72 shot match) called 'the Full Monty." And if they're 50-100fpe, they shoot at the middle and far targets. Match staff chronographed everyone wanting to shoot in < 50fpe classes. And this is how that shook out...

Barbara P 49.32 fpe
Anthony T 46.45 fpe
Jesse A 43.59 fpe
Stephen K 42.12 fpe
Paul W 41.14 fpe
Bobby C 38.2 fpe
Steve M 38.2 fpe
Luis G 37.05 fpe
Cole R 34.84 fpe
Ben S 33 fpe
Cabe R 19 fpe


Sub 50 fpe, Pellet Class
There were 9 competitors in this class. Congrats to Barbara P (@5Power) for winning this class and also being the overall match high.
Top three scores here were:
Barb P 66/72
Van T 56/72
Anthony T 56/72

And the score cards for those sub 50fpe pellet class shooters, in order of score:






Sub 50fpe, Slug Class
There were three competitors in this class. Bobby and Steve ended up sharing a gun, so that made the strange situation of all three competitors in this class using the NSA .20/18.9grain slug.
Scores here were:
Cole R 62/72
Bobby C 59/72
Steve M 53/72

And those score cards:




Sub 100fpe, Pellet Class
Also three competitors in this class.
Tony P 33/48
Daniel P 27/48
Carl F 17/48

And those score cards:



Near and Middle Targets, Pellet Class
Just one competitor here. My son Cabe used his sub 20fpe .177 to shoot a 48 shot match. It worked out really well because this is the gun he has the most trigger time on, and it's simply set up for his (just turned) 7 year old frame.
Cabe 13/48

And his score card:



Thanks to Jesse A for the superb paint job on the targets. Me and Cabe really enjoyed looking at them through the scope.
Thanks to Ben and Tony P for setting up the course-lots of work.
Thanks to Stephen K for assisting in chrono and sign-in duties.
I'm sure there was other assistance to make it all run smoothly. Thank you!!!

Thanks to Peykan for letting my son check out the Cybertruck so closely. Made my little dudes day to get a ride and learn about all the cool stuff it could do.

Thanks to everyone for just generally being good people. Me and Cabe had a great time amongst you all. Good solid fun with a great bunch of people. It was a great Saturday activity and fully worth the 6hr round trip.

Feel free to add any vids or photos that you took during the match. Also, questions and comments are invited, from those that competed yesterday, as well as anybody interested in what we're doing here.

Didn’t allow me to bid due to residing in Cali. Not that I would have won anyways. Had one in walnut at one point, the bluing was even better than AA. Very rare item

I am using a huben dream valve and decided to enlarge the airblock to 4.5 mm. After the mod I went from 749 fps to under 500 fps. No matter how high I set my reg I can no longer get past 650 fps. What am I doing wrong or neglecting to do?

Hi,

Do I need to re-zero or make any adjustments to my scope if I move my entire scope an inch or two forward?

After replacing my worn out spring and breach seal in my 10 year old RWS 350 I got this group
at 20 yards open sighted. And I am weeks away from being 65 years old. this gun shoots legit again
even with my diminished eye sight, center one blur in the middle of the other and walla!

Good friend (Unidentified) made this. Huge thank you!
This is how they should have been made. Gigantic improvement!
Don't have to concurrently adjust the front adjusters for vertical.



For Perry...

I was out in the shooting shed today trying out different pellets and nothing shot really well. I was shooting with the hammer spring 3 turns in from flush. I thought the 18.13 JSBs did okay so I tried those on a few different hammer spring settings.

Target 1 is 3 turns in, target 2 is 4 turns in, target 3 is 5 turns in, and target 4 is 6 turns in. The last target (5) I zeroed and the hammer spring is 5.5 turns in from flush. All are 5 shot groups @ 50 yards. 6 turns in showed the best group, but I might have got a little target panic after I zeroed it for the last group. 6.25 turns is the max adjustment.

I didn‘t show most of the other pellets because I don’t think they got a fair trial. They were probably moving too slow. I did however attach a photo of the CPHPs. I think they show potential. This was also 5 shots @ 50 yards with the hammer spring 3 turns in. Dime for reference.I think it will turn out to be a sweet little squirrel gun.

Orion the Iguana Hunter is making another Great Magazine, this one is for the BRK Ghost

Hello. I am looking at purchasing a fx wildcat sniper to squirrel hunting with but it seem the magazine will be in the way? , any input greatly appreciated. What other recommendations? Thank you

Looking to trade this BRK sniper .22. Previous owner shot only a few times and I have only ran two mags through it. .177 .22 preferably (scope not included)

End-of-Year Balance: ​

How much $$ did you spend in 2024 ​

Seriously.
How • much • money • did • you • spend • on • airgunning • in • 2024?


I know the excuse : Some people can't do the calculation — because they don't keep track.

So they are never in danger to experience the shock I am just trying to recover from....



This afternoon — for fun I thought — I added up the balance.

Without gasoline for trips to hunt and target shoot.
Just projectiles, scope mounts, lights and batteries, silencers, accessories, 1 gun and 2 scopes (used).

➠ And all I could do was GASP!!



⭓ I don't know how it could add up that quickly to that much.
⭓ I went through the list twice.
⭓ Still don't understand.....



2025 will have to be different.

This is a very special custom rifle from my personal collection that will make someone very happy. It was a labor of love that I spent a lot of time on to perfect. My goal with this build was to make the rifle reliable, bulletproof, and as accurate as I possibly could with both pellets and heavier high BC slugs for field hunting, NRL22 / PRS, and benchrest. The results on paper speak for itself. Example 13 shot group at 50m through a scope cam:


Every part that I machined and fabricated from scratch use the highest quality materials that I could source, all of which contribute to the performance of this rifle. The build history was captured in several different posts on AGN and Instagram, but I'll try and recap some of the functional upgrades that I made for it.

FX Maverick .30cal

- Kraford & Lypt KL-MAV chassis - Comes with both the Compact Arca Swiss rail and a longer modified Sniper Arca Swiss rail. I also have multiple long and short K&L Picatinny T-slot rail inserts for them to run Picatinny/Weaver bipods and hardware.

- KLS-2 stock with titanium posts - Much lighter with the 6AL-4V titanium rods. This is the best stock IME for the Maverick as it allows for the shouldering point to raise up higher and it's solid. I modified / rounded the tips of two high grade cap screws for clamping the Y adjustment axis without marring up the rods like the factory set screws tend to do




- Carbon Fiber + Titanium Barrel Shrouds & Titanium Thread Protectors - Made from very high-quality (very pricey) high modulus carbon fiber from Rockwest Composites and certified 6AL-4V titanium. I made one for 500mm and the other for 600mm barrels with a revolver style titanium end cap for each of them. The end caps were designed to work with the barrel system, but they can be run on other riles using a polymer stopper that I made and they are both VERY effective at dampening barrel harmonics!









- Custom Barrel Tensioning System - Titanium locking ring integrated with the factory barrel supports. The titanium ring seats into the forward barrel support and the titanium end caps on the shroud slides over it to seat the shroud and provide the tensioning point. Works amazingly well. You can pick up the rifle by the shroud and use it as a baseball bat and not damage the barrel (not that I recommend this, but it's that SOLID!











- Titanium shorter action lever system - I milled the lever from 1.25" 6AL-4V titanium rod stock and the handle with 3/8" 6AL-4V rod stock from the same material source. It took me two tries to machine the lever perfectly (screwed up the first one one of the last machining operations), but it was well worth it! Nailed the tolerances and the cocking action feels so perfect with a high-end firearm like smoothness.









Also made a precision spring that seats against the cocking rod guide on the opposite side of the lever. Combined with the leverage "over travel" snaps the lever down snugly for field use. It took a lot of trial with different sized springs to get it JUST right, but I was able to find the perfect balance of resistance for keeping the lever closed snugly and being able to cycle ammo for rapid fire.


- Pellet & Slug Probes - I have the factory FX pellet probe in .30, a titanium pellet probe and slug probe in .30, and titanium slug probe in .22.




- Modified Magpul MIAD AR Grip - I milled and polished this grip to fit the rile. It feels AWESOME, and has interchangeable fore grip inserts that can change it from having the finger rests or a straight profile. Definitely a 1 of 1 grip for this rifle.


- Titanium cocking rod guide (threaded) with Delrin 150 (slippery grade, press fit inserts - there's (4) total components that I made from scratch for this piece. I broke the factory aluminum rod guide shooting from a bench, so I decided to make an indestructible replacement along with upgrading the cocking rod to eliminate slop (see below)

The first one I made was stainless. Eventually got the itch to make another one in titanium.


- 5/32" Music wire cocking rod - I bent the factory rod like pretty much everyone else with a Maverick / Wildcat. Went with a 5/32" music wire (C61 hardness). It's just a tiny bit larger in O.D. than the 4mm factory rod, which had way too much slop. This music wire rod was a nightmare to thread, however it has been flawless and as straight as an arrow for the duration that I have ran it. It also greatly improved the sloppy cocking action in conjunction with the titanium cocking system that I custom fabricated for this rifle.




- Modified cocking rod connector - Drilled, milled, and threaded a beefy M4 cap screw to prevent the rod / probe assembly from dislodging the (2) M3 factory set screws at high power fixing a total factory design flaw! This allows the rod connector to clamp against the rod from both sides.
- Modified AMP regulators - Using upgraded spring washers and the awesome brass + polmyer tipped adjustment screws. Shots are extremely consistent at all power levels.
- Magpul Paraclip - works great as an attachment point for a single point sling (I have more Magpul hardware to run a second one forward for dual point slings)

- Kraford & Lypt Modified Gigarail & Full Gigarail - Duracoated Pictanny.



- Kraford & Lypt Dovetail Rails - One in raw aluminum and another in black anodized. Looks like this:




- Modified cheek rest - Made it low profile as it should have been for optimal flexibility for the scope height.



- PEEK valve - More efficient with extra travel and heavier valve return spring
- Hammer weights - I have a 26gr FX Tungsten and a variety of 485 marine brass, and the factory steel.
- Hammer Springs - Standard and custom heavy spring
- Stainless hardware - 316L for the most part, all from McMaster-Carr (not the cheap overseas stainless)
- Orion Iguana Hunter deep cavity FX magazine covers - Orion designed these durable factory replacement magazine covers for me so I could shoot the old style 62 grain Varmint Knockers slugs, and they work perfectly!
- Custom made Delrin 150 bottle gauge shroud - Made a black shroud for the FX branded Wika gauge.
- Blued (male) stainless steel fill port - Looks cool
- Spare Parts - I have a bunch of spare FX factory parts for this rifle. All of the o-rings are brand spankin' new and very high quality.
- Magazines - I have (5) of the 13-shot factory .30 mags with several low profile lids from Orion, (1) grey Orion .22 mag (18-shot), (1) FX .22 mag (18-shot), and (1) high capacity .22 mag from Midwest Airguns and (1) .30 high cap mag from Midwest Airguns.

- Barrel / Rail Support Stainless Helical Thread Overhaul (18-8 stainless M3 steel Helicoil thread inserts) - The factory aluminum thread can strip out, so these completely mitigate that problem and allow for the rails to be properly torqued.







- FX Carbon Fiber Air Cylinders - I have 350cc, 480cc, 580cc. All of which have been wrapped out of the box with thick rubberized insulation.


Barrels
I have several different barrels / liners and shrouds for this rifle that shoot with sub-MOA precision: I have vetted and tuned all of them.

Match Grade 600mm TJ's .30cal (1:26) - Hammer forged CrMoly. I bought and machined several TJ blanks for this Maverick before I finally got one with a perfect bore to work with. Used a custom live piloted chamber reamer that I had Dave Kiff from Pacific Tool & Gauge make for me to machine the lead in specifically for the TJ's with a 2 degree lead and optimize it for heavy slugs and pellets. I was specifically setting it up for the original style 62 grain Varmint Knockers (sub-MOA with both the swaged slug in the hard 8.5 BHN alloy and regular soft Corbin lead), but it does well with a variety of 55-70 grain slugs. I have a bunch of 62 grain ammo that I can include with this barrel.

Meticulously lapped the bore with a micro-taper and it's a frigging laser beam. Also shoots 50.15 grain JSBs with supreme precision and it doesn't lead up nearly as fast as other barrels. I always use a good rod to clean it with a Kroil soaked cotton patch, followed by a Ballistol patch and a dry patch. The carbon fiber / titanium shroud that I made for it is the icing on the cake.

Threaded 1/2-20 UNF on the muzle end with a custom high flow 485 marine brass inlet on the breech end.

330mm TJ's .30cal (1:26 twist) - I machined this barrel from a blank to build an ultra compact configuration. Originally ran it with a DonnyFL Ronin + extension using the factory chassis and an FX cylinder from a Dreamline, but I have since dedicated DonnyFL Koi to it as part of the complete barrel system. Shoots very well with pellets and slugs.

Threaded 1/2-20 UNF on the muzzle end with a Ernet Rowe high flow brass inlet on the breech end.





- 500mm FX Superior Liner .30cal (1:37" twist) - This is a real gem of a liner. I have a high quality precision carbon fiber sleeve bonded to it with 638 Loctite. I have only shot pellets with this barrel so I don't mess up the bore with unecessary wear and tear from leading. It's been very carefully polished and I've only used a good cleaning rod with appropriate sized patches to clean it when it needs it (it shoots lights out for a long time without needing patches run through it).


500mm Shrouds - I have a carbon fiber + titanium tensioned shroud and the original FX factory aluminum 500mm shroud. I also have a custom made black Delrin shroud extension with a 7075 aluminum threaded insert (1/2-20 UNF) that I made for the factory shroud to extend it out just far enough to run a 480cc bottle. This is what it looks like in action during an NRL22 match:


- 700mm FX Superior Heavy Slug Liner (1:18" twist) - Shoots superb with the newer style 62 grain Varmint Knockers in standard soft lead.
- 700mm FX Slow Twist Pellet Liner (1:44" twist) - This liner is also very special. It was in an MK2 Impact that I bought when they came out.
- 700mm FX Slug Liner (22cal, 1:16" twist) - Excellent with pretty much every .217" slug that I've tried.
- 600mm FX Slug Liner (22cal, 1:16" twist) - ^^^^^^^
- 600mm TJ's .22 (.218/.222 1:14" twist) - Shoots rimfire size projectiles. 1/2-20 UNF threaded muzzle and the FX thread with a factor brass inlet on the breech. This one may be spoken for already, but feel free to inquire about it.


Terms:

This is a tough one to price out. I'm going to include the KLS-2 stock and titanium lever, rod guide, rod and KL-MAV chassis and a couple of magazines as part of the basic configuration for 1400 and split the shipping. Shoot me a message with the barrel(s) that you're interested in or give me your number and I can reach out to you to discuss. Can include all the above if the price is right (make me an offer).

Serious inquiries only please. Not interested in trades.
