EDgun  Wanted: PCP recommendations for long-timer springer user

Hey all, as the title reads, I've owned my weihrauch 97k for a little over three years and really enjoy it. I've been thinking about entering the PCP market and have a fairly large budget to drop on a PCP.

Things I like about my springer:
It's (relatively) quiet - does not break the sound barrier.
Accurate within 25 yards.
Ammo is plentiful and cheap.
Low maintenance

Things I don't like:
It's heavy. Not a problem for sitting but standing positions can get cumbersome.
It's not consistent/precise outside of 25-30 yards.
Single-shot makes it impossible to get another shot down range when hunting.

I will be using this gun mainly to hunt and occasional plinking. Form factor and weight/portability are important. Semi-auto would be nice. Tank capacity is not crucial. Range out to 50 yards would be nice.

I have my eyes on the EDgun Leshiy 2 in .22. I will primarily be taking out squirrels. Are there any other brands/models that fit this bill?

Any opinions on compressors? I think I'd prefer this route as compared to hand pumps. Looking for reliability and smaller form factor, keep cost ~$750 or lower.

Thanks all!

Other  Here's a theory that I've developed. Hoping for confirmation...

So, I've been noticing this on MOST, but not all of my springers. For instance, my .22 cal HW 97K is an exception. What I'm seeing is that after I've fired a dozen or show shots from a piston powered gun, the groups begin to tighten up. Now, I understand that this could just be due to me getting warmed up, but here's my theory. I'll bet that it's not a new idea. This must've crossed many an airgunners' mind....
Could it be that the piston seal is heating up during the first few shots and that once its become more pliable, it forms a more consistent seal? It just seems to make sense to me that this would be the case. However, as I've already mentioned, my 97K is one of the few piston guns that I own which always seems to shoot point of aim no matter how long between shooting sessions, so.....
What are your thoughts...?

Noob Question Incoming....

Please forgive my ignorance, I have never seen optics like the one I just saw and I honestly didn't even know the technology was available..? So, I just watched a video where the shooter was using an optic made by ATN Corp. and.... I mean, I'm still speechless. I know, it's embarassing... I feel so old rn. But he shot a group and then (I'm guessing here) put it into like a zeroing mode, which then allowed him to move a secondary X-hair to the intended target, hit "Enter" (or something akin) and VIOLA! Zeroed. Needless to say I'm immediately on the hunt to find one, only to realize these things are way out of my tax bracket. So, my question to the fine folks here at AGN Forums, is:

1) Is there any other manufacturers that make an optic with a similar zeroing system?
2) If so, do any of them offer up said optics for less than $200-300?
3) Is there a similar zeroing system on an optic that does NOT include night-vision? (I'm thinking the NV adds a significant amount to the cost and rn I just don't need it)

Thank you all in advance. And again, apologies for noob questions.

Am I the only one who hates BKL rings?

I was changing scopes on my AR Challenger HFT and started using BKL rings against my better judgement, and couldn't get the base to tighten, it had galled in the aluminum and was no going any further. I took it out and lubed it and proceeded to round off the socket head trying to tighten it. I had already pinched them in til they would barely fit on the dovetail, and when I rounded off the socket, they were almost tight. Thankfully, I was able to use an easy out and get the ring loose enough to slide off, but what a p*ss poor way of doing things. I think I have three or four sets of them, so if anyone wants them, they can have them. I'm sick of this happening.

OK, that's my rant for the day, I feel better.

RTI  The RTI Arms MORA (Full Video Review) w/ Altaros 40gr ATP Kings .22 Slugs @ 100 yd.

rtimorareview.jpg


This RTI Arms Mora from TALON TUNES was shooting 1318 FPS when I unboxed it. I threw some 40gr Altaros ATP Kings slugs in there, no tuning, and I haven't missed a shot yet...at ANY distance. The best airgun ever? I'm not sure. I want to see this thing shoot pellets! This will definitely be unlike any PCP you have ever seen. Thanks for watching! -Nate

What driveway dinger?

Good morning,

I am needing a driveway dinger for the coons here at the house. Just something to mount on a Tpost or something. It will be basically in my backyard probably 30yds. I am going to bait them they are robbing the coop and I'm not sitting all night so need some help. I don't need a fancy one I will be well within range for the part that plugs in inside the house. Just wanting something weatherproof. I will probably take it down when I'm not using the bait station. Going to give the pard some use

Thanks
Jon

HW/Weihrauch  Green 97 at 50 yards

I've been on a 50 yard kick lately because 25 gets boring quickly. I shot these groups with my 177 Green Hw97. They're shot left to right then top to bottom. Most groups are 10 shots. The circled ones are where I stopped at five because I didn't want to mess them up. There was a light shifting breeze but ironically my groups suddenly tanked at the end when there was no wind.

The last three groups were shot after giving me and the gun a break because the last group prior went tragically wrong immediately after a good one. Apparently it didn't help. Anyway like always here's the whole page. Now you can see why I don't like cherry picked groups.

Be well all.
Thanks for looking.
Ron

Western Airguns  All Things Western Rattler 357 & 45 - Master Thread

The Western Rattler in 357 & 45 caliber's master thread (inspired by @Ezana4CE) for the owner's and prospective owner's to compile, read, and search for good information on the Western Rattler big bore. Please contribute what information you have learned, read, videoed, or viewed down below, albeit maintenance, pictures, settings, slug accuracy, FPS and PFE, scope and hunting setup, hunts, etc...

Looking for some postage help USA to UK

I have recently bought a PP750 (as a direct result of reading on here). I'd like to fit a shortened FX CF barrel and shroud and was hoping to use C88 machining barrel holders as a starting point. I've been in touch and although happy to supply what I need C88 Machining don't export. I was wondering if anyone would be prepared to have them sent to their address and forward these to me in the UK. I would obviously cover all costs and could pay by paypal transfer in $. I would also be happy to do the same if there is anything that you struggle for in the USA. Obviously I am not wanting or trying to circumvent any laws.

Crosman  Pistol Accuracy Goals?

Hi all,

Just recently got back into shooting my 1322 and was wondering what accuracy goals were appropriate with pistols?

IMG_4888.jpeg


I work from home and had 15 minutes to kill on a coffee break and banged out this group at 10m. I’m not an old pistolero, just a rifleman looking to broaden the horizon.

So what kinda groups are you fellas looking for? 2moa? 1?

Thanks in advance,

Delta

Which would you prefer and why?

If FPE is similar, which would you prefer a lighter pellet moving faster or a heavier pellet moving slower. Inside 30 yards (my backyard) let's say for pesting. Gauntlet gen 1. .22 caliber.

I currently can push your standard CPHP 14.3 around 950. I bought a couple tins of Apolo slugs (21 grains and 25 grains). The 25 grains I got up to 700 fps, the 21 750'ish. I have no real need for the slugs. I'm just playing around trying to see what's the highest FPE I can get with this setup. Maybe i should try a pellet heavier than 14.3 CPHP....

Just thinking out loud.
