Brocock/BRK  Pathfinder XR Revisited…

Ever since the arrival of my Ghost XR Carbine the Pathfinder XR has been somewhat neglected. The Atomics are locked in, but the Pathfinders’ future seemed in doubt. With the huge Aztec Emerald 6-24x-50 IR SF FFP atop. She is heavy and the Ghost easily duplicates its capabilities. Today I mounted my little WHT 3-12x FFP SF IR compact scope on the Pathfinder. This lightened her up right away, lighter than the Ghost with G1 Athlon Helos 6-24x-50 IR SF FFP atop. After sighting in at 25 yards, I started murdering my favorite targets. Sidewalk chalk cut down to chipmunks head size. The hits at 25, 30, 40 and 50 yards reminded me of why I’m keeping the Pathfinder in the stable.

Crosman  Marauder bolt repaired.

Many months ago, I short stroked the last pellet in my Marauder. So just like I was told, I hammered the mag out shearing the pellet. Unfortunately, I didn’t secure the bolt open and it slipped back closed (as much as it could) and I broke the pellet probe off. It looked like powder pressed metal but I digress, it was broke. A new bolt is impossible to find, Crosman doesn’t have them and neither does anyone else, obviously I guess…

So it’s been idol since. A buddy of mine was determined to fix the bolt but it wasn’t possible to chuck it in a lathe. He ended up securing it in a drill press vice and drilled out the hole then pressed a piece of wire in it. I’ve reinstalled it in the gun and when open it retracts enough to insert the magazine I’m certain it’s going to work fine. I’ll know when I get the new air gauge installed which sprung a leak when I degassed the gun. Hopefully it should be here this week.

AEA or JTS vs JSB and H&N

I know there are others, for this discussion, we’ll key in on the big brands. Target, and pest. Now I don’t shoot field targets or benchrest, but I shoot occasionally pests of all kinds - dirt nap central. With that, let’s dive in. My benchrest buddy claims the AEA /JTS are way more consistent coming out of the tin. Hence, sales of JSB , etc, well, I shoot mostly rats, pigeons, squirrels, trash pandas and so forth. Now the grain weight of the JSB stuff matches well with the hades/atomics and polymags. Why wouldn’t I lean towards the JSB stuff, in spite of their variances? I’ve dodged H&N cuz I don’t use them. Personal preference, nothing more. So why use the Chinese stuff if their grain weight is different and possibly their lead make up? Thoughts?

HW55 value

Hello all, I am new here. I recently inherited an HW55. I am very familiar with firearms but know very little about air rifles.

What would be a fair price for a rifle like this? I know there are different values based on the stock style and the other variations. The rifle does operate and shoot pellets and the locking lever is nice and snug however mechanically I don't know much more than that about it. Visually it is in very very nice shape. Let me know your thoughts. Thank you very much

FX  FX Impact M3 expectations

Hi guys, wanted to share my journey with my FX Impact m3. I bought it at the end of last summer, it is a 177 with a 600 barrel running a stock tune. I bought it mainly to plink at 50-200m, as well as pest control on my farm. I'm shooting JBS diabo match exact heavies, 10.34gr as I have a bunch of packs sitting around. I do plan on tuning it but Id like to understand and see what the stock tune is capable of first.


My first time shooting it was a little bit of a let down, 1.5-2.5" groups at 50 yards, just under 1" at 30 yards. I called the dealer and they said it will take acouple hundred rounds to settle in. I did a bit more shoot, mostly pest control and I feel its more than accurate for hunting. I didn't shot any more paper last year, I've got a 6.5cd that gets most my attention when it comes to precision work. Anyways, I figured with the nice weather I'd spend some time with the impact, and if i can get it shooting nicely Ill invest in a couple other barrel/liners. It would be cool to shoot 22 and 30 cal slugs.

I filled it last night to 220 bar last night, by the morning it was at 195 tank pressure, but the 1st reg ad crept up to 170 (from a stock 150). I noticed the second had crept up to 95 from I believe 85 stock.

Today we had zero wind so I figured it would be a good day to get out for some shooitng. The first 3 shots where between 989 and 978, then it settle around 962 to 970 with he odd shot between 949 and 953. First couple groups where around 2" at 50m shooting from a bench with front and rear bags. Eventually things settled and I shot 10, 5 shot groups between 1.5" to 5/8". I also noticed after a couple of shot the 1st reg also reset to 155.

My 22 produces 1/4" or tighter at 50m so I am confident this is not user error (I am a competent shooter with a military background).




Is this normal?
I was expecting groups under 1/2" at 50m without much difficulty, are my expectations out of unrealistic?
Would this be regulator creep and is this covered under my warranty?
Any suggestion?
Also, when I go to tune it, should I start with the valve adjuster fully open or keep it where it is?


Thanks, K

RAW .177-Can it run with the big dogs?

I've had my RAW HM1000x chassis in .177 cal built by Martin Rutterford at Airguns-USA now for three weeks. I tested it at my local range and shot an EBR target with a score of 214 using Zan 13.4 gr slugs at 1010 fps. This encouraged me to use it at the next match.

Match day, the weather in Sparta was perfect. Light winds and 80 degree temperature. There were 15 seasoned competitors there using Red Pandas, Skouts, FX Mavericks, Impacts, Pantheras and Crowns. I was the only guy with a RAW. Two others showed up to shoot in the .177 class just to see how it went. One man had a Maverick and the other a Delta Wolf. The rest were shooting the usual .22, .25, and .30 rifles. Targets were 100 yard EBR.

We shot two relays and my scores were 182 and 211. The 211 should have been a 220, but I lost count of where I was and missed one bull and put two 9s in the next one. I also shot three relays with my Impact MK2 in .22 but my scores were so-so. I did qualify for the finals and was going to use the Impact, but a friend urged me to use the .177 RAW. I came in third with a 211 which pleased me very much. This was better than any other match I've shot here. I usually shoot Impacts in .22 and .30 cal. We were all humbled, however, by a young lady that won with a Crown .22 cal with a score of 222. Congratulations, Anna.

Bottom line? I think the .177 cal rifles are very capable of competing against larger calibers up to 100 yards. This was an interesting experiment to say the least. Did I say I really like my RAW rifle??

HW/Weihrauch  Pistol scope??

I’m a fan of Hawke scopes but in the dark on the optics for pistols.
Is this a good match for an HW44
Thanks

Flattered

Tony of talon tunes posting the Vulcan 3 video on his advert post. This was the video from Steve AVS with my gun couple years ago. We were early acquirers of the platform. We never achieved top tuning before I was forced to sell via economic reasons. Now both myself and Steve are definitely supporters of this platform, and I feel it’s slightly better competition is the epic 2. But, in reality, the epic 1 in 700mm is the direct comparison. But several hundred more.
