I’m attempting to set up Chairgun so I can better understand holdovers and close range shooting. I have an impact m3, warne 20 moa cantilever mount and athlon Midas tac 6-24 scope. How can I get an accurate measurement of scope center to bore center?

I’ve read taking 1/2 the objective lense + 1/2 barrel diameter + distance from barrel to scope but didn’t know if anyone else had similar setup that could let me know roughly what that distance would be. Thanks

These were just released and we have them in stock..

Does anyone else have a problem paying the full price of an airgun, on back order, up front? Mind you, I don‘t mind putting down a deposit, up front, which would be forfeited if I canceled the order. But dropping $2200 with an expected delivery date makes me pucker up!

Apparently they have come out with an anti double load feature in the vet 2. At Talon airguns.

We are vacationing in Kona and we saw a few mongooses in the area. Just wondering if any local air gunner shoot them as I read they were introduced here to help reduce the rat population but unfortunately, the bird population got damaged as a result.

Anyone has any information?

Being that PCP's have been on the market over a decade will they ever be considered "TRADITIONAL" airguns? Nowadays "classic rock" contains songs & artists I don't (or barely) recognize. See what I'm saying?

Selling my .22 caliber FX Impact M4 Compact that is in mint condition. It is tuned for the JSB 18 grain pellets and shoots very well. Includes a K&L Gen 4 Arca rail and magazine. $1,800 Shipped. Pay Pal FF. No trades

Shot this past Sunday in the cold and snow. All equipment did well, no complaints.
Was nice to scratch the itch!

So i have come across this problem with two different scopes now. my new Nikko sterling arrived today. i mounted it and whent to zero it in. I ended up maxing the vertical turret out completely but my pellet was still dropping about 2 mill dots too low. (18 yards distance). this cannot be right at all. i think my gun may have a defect with the structure or barrel. last time, i solved it by putting a strip of thing cloth under the rear pillar and remounting the scope so it was slightly tilted downward. but over time it ended up sliding back little by little. Any idea why this is happening and any solutions. Thanks Good day

Hi,

Have any of you had any issues with your GX CS4 compressor after operating it for a few weeks, month, or year?

(note: I'm a bit concerned with the 5 hours per turn of the grease pot since I don't have an integrated timer)

I've been on the fence on the Vulcan 3 .177, there is little to no info on them anywhere I have searched. Only thing I can find about then is that they have a ton of shots in sub12 and FAC and that they shoot well.

I have experience with the Uragan 2 Compact and the 700mm as I have both in .22 but I want one in .177 whether that's the compact or the 600mm doesn't really matter.

Does anyone have any experience to speak on both .177 platforms, more importantly the vulcan 3 .177?

Thanks, Jean-Claude

I find it odd they put a 3 cell lipo battery in their guns and then give you a usb c cable to plug into the gun that doesn’t seem like it would charge them properly?? Do the stock gun batteries have a short lifespan?

Hi all,
Sorry in advance if this is too long a read, but I'm hoping for some advice...

I've been trying to fix a slow air leak in my Avenge-x .22 and not having much luck so far. I've replaced o-rings on the axle (they were brittle and flattened out) and replaced the dowty seal behind the fill pressure gage (and gently tightened that down). Although not as bad, there is still air escaping somewhere that I can't seem to locate with soapy water or silcone. Even though they look okay, I'll probably try replacing fill probe and air cylinder o-rings next before venturing deep into the receiver to replace 0-rings. For those interested, there are a couple of videos on YouTube by Shooter's den in Pakistan that give a very detailed and closeup view of how to completely tear down the Avenge-X. They're very helpful, especially if you use english translation closed captions!

Anyway, as I've been doing this, it occurred to me that I should probably build up a supply of spare o-rings for future repairs. I could buy a complete reseal kit for around $30-$40, or I could put together an order from a place like O-rings and More and get a lifetime supply at a fraction of the cost. I've ordered from them in the past. It's hard to beat a pack of 25 o-rings for pennies plus nominal shipping. I can also wait for Captain O-ring to start selling an Avenge-X reseal kit - an attractive option because Jon puts together a color coded sheet to go along with the color coded o-rings, making it so much easier to identify o-rings. But Jon tells me that kit is weeks away and I'm sure it'll also be in the $30+ range.

My question has to do with odd or non-standard 0-ring sizes and what to use if I can't get them. For example, nearly all the 0-rings needed for the Avenge-X are standard metric sizes (20 i.d. x 2 c.s., 4 x 1.5, 2.5 x 1.5, etc.) However, there are a few that aren't so standard. I'm referring to both the shematic drawing of the rifle from Pyramyd Air along with a parts list (partially in Chinese) that I found from Nova Vista. On that list, there are 0-rings such as 12.4 x 2.6, 2.4 x 1.8, 20.2 x 3.5, and one that's simply denoted as 10 (#69 on the schematic - any ideas what that is?). I can't find any 0-rings with these dimensions and I'm wondering if I can use the nearest standard size instead. So, for example, instead of 12.4 mm, use 12.5 mm; instead of 20.2 mm, use 20 mm; instead of 1.8 mm, use 2mm. What do you think?

Also, a few of the 0-rings listed do not specify the hardness (Buna 70 or 90). In cases like that, which do you go with?

Thank you for any help you can offer with this!
Mike

Yep, it's cold outside... and it's a blowin too... even howling.
That perfectly zero'd scope held no chance against a 20 mph crosswind; yet it is still a great starting point; at least i thought so.
Took aim (11"x14" splatter burst target only 25 meters out), pull the trigger and the pellet goes......?
Well that sucks.... even if i was sitting in a heated shooting shack.
Head says..."Put the airgun away, back to the coffee and the forum".

Still glad I live in the deep south where i can "usually" shoot year round.... just not today as i don't like donating lead to the winds.

Are Leofoto, sunwayfoto, and innorel pretty much the same thing?

Are you a: collector, enthusiast, hoarder or just obsessed?
or maybe, just maybe you are a perpetual tinkerer who loves a project?

When you read through AGN threads past and present, it becomes quite obvious to me, that people who enjoy airguns, of all types, have more (many more) than just one or two. I also notice that most airgunners are "tight" or frugal. All good.

But, i also notice a strange thing where the frugal (on various threads) bemoan the high cost of airguns while at the same time they have purchased 5-10-15 or even more than 20 low end el cheapo airguns.

That said.... what is a cheap airgun? (relative term to your income and spending habits) V what is an expensive airgun - same basic definition.

I'm scratching my head wondering..... would ya rather save your moolah for 2-4 high quality airguns or would you rather nickel and dime your money away on a bunch of so so stuff? What is your motive(s) behind your multiple airgun acquisitions? some have suggested it is almost an addiction; i might agree.

Before you share your thoughts.... i must mention that some "relatively cheap" airguns can shoot pretty darn well along side some really pricey airguns.

You might wonder what is my definition of a relatively cheap airgun is = $650 break barrel, to $1100 PCP. but that's my definition.

I am reminded that the market = makers of airguns, cater to various income levels to specifically meet certain price points which will maximize their sales.

What are your thoughts?

Hi all, happy new year from down under, just wondering what speeds are you getting out of you Fox Impact M4 .22csl 700 mm barrel using FX Airpellets in 18.1gr and at what distance?
Cheers Mick.

Gettn somewhat frustrated with finding certain info and products involving boosters. I get their not cheap but who cares, I’d shell out the $ to be able to go to the range with several big bores, an scba tank and not have to bring a compressor cuz I’d have a booster. You can’t find one, you can’t buy one, it’s like the industry DOESNT want us to have one. This is what I got in reply from Altoros

Looking to purchase a new squirrel / varmint gun , would a wild cat .25 or .30 be a good choice? Thanks

Has anyone adjusted (lightened) the safety on a Taipan Veteran Gen 1? I just acquired a used one and the safety is considerably more difficult to move on and off than I remember on previous ones I’ve owned.

Debating selling my Lelya .22. Its a great shooter. No issues with it. Comes with 3 mags, fill probe and soft case. Shooting 18gr pellets at 820 fps, was at 905. Might be interested in trades. Zulus 5-20 LRF is not included but can be discussed. $1300 shipped ups with insurance.

Using a .177 Vixen with 10.8g pellets at 830 fps, rat at 33 yards. I wasn't holding steady and hit the rat's a$$ instead of the head.

I don't really give a rat's a$$ that it was a bad shot, the only good rat is a dead rat!

My video is only at 30 fps while the manual says it is 60 fps. Is there a menu option to change it?

Hi,

I have recently purchased a GX CS4. I have about 4-5 hours of use with it. When I first purchased the unit I did upgrade the connecting hose for charging to a longer one (about ~3 feet long) and the dead head tests were about 1 minute for 300 bar fill (vs. the 38 seconds per the manufacturer). This made sense to me because it's a longer hose with roughly twice the length and volume of air to fill and the performance was great while filling Air Rifles only.

One month later and I have noticed that it's not performing at that same level of 300 bar per minute of dead head tests. Last night, and this morning I have done three dead head tests and the machine is now filling at a rate of 2.5 to 3 minutes per 300 bar fill. That's three times slower than a month ago. So, I went ahead and turned the grease knob one full revolution. When turning the knob I sensed very little resistance almost free spinning, and stoped when I felt resistance at about one turn in.

Are there any known issues of what may be causing this degraded performance with my brand new GX CS4 unit that you all may be aware of?

Have a great day, and any help or guidance is much appreciated!

So I just got the fx impact m4 22 compact (500mm). What's the realistic max speed I can push a 25 grain jsb monster to or similar slug? I want to make this a compact beast without buying a bunch of aftermarket parts. I'm open to suggestions on max reg pressure i should be going to and projectile choices....... thanks! Fpe is key!
