  • Question
300yd optic

Hi!
I'm building up my 1st PCP; an FX Panthera in .25 (600 or 700) with the expectation of doing some long range shooting. I have 2 questions for anyone with long range air rifle experience:

1) What is the max effective range of a .25 air rifle? (How far out can you reasonably expect to maintain minute-of-pigeon accuracy and still have the force to do the job)

2) What magnification would you prefer (a reasonable min/max magnification)

Thanx!

It was nice out today. Took the Bosler and Girandoni to a friends...

First time firing the Bosler. A new valve and new seals were made.

The gun shoots great and was filled to 600psi.

We were shooting .465 round balls.
My friend Larry who casts the lead was having fun shooting these things

Video needs editing later... but wanted the first shot of the gun on filmed

HW/Weihrauch  I just wanted to post this purely out of my insatiable need for attention.

So glad that I took the time to bring this rifle back to life. I purchased two HW85s from the same gentleman. One of them was functional, while the other ( the rifle pictured ) had a broken cocking shoe, a torn piston sleeve and a badly split stock on the under side of the forend where the cocking lever blasted through it when the cocking shoe let go. The stock was rough. Full of dents, scratches, and gouges. The metalwork was still pretty nice. Some light surface rust that left some freckling after I buffed it off.with the time tested OOOO steel wool and Balistol. Otherwise, considering its age and evident lack of care, the bluing was surprisingly decent.
I tore it down and thoroughly cleaned every part. I installed an ARH Hornet kit and lubed the gun with the proper lubes in the proper places, and then I went to work refinishing the stock. Took her for a spin tonight. Time well spent on this one...

Shortening barrel, accuracy effect?

Hello-

I am thinking of having a machinist shortening my barrel. Barrel is not choke, question is which end should I cut to have less chance of effecting the accuracy? I am thinking the chamber side because you don't mess with factory crown. What do you guys think?


I would like to shorten it a bit. Why not just buy a shorter barrel, not for $400 though. btw - I do not know anything about barrel.

thank you,

PCP Rifle  SOLD (SPF) AAA Slayer 357 - Mag update

American Air Arms Slayer 357. I resealed the entire rifle and went through it inside and out. It's a VERY easy rifle to work on! Much easier than the EVOLs IMO. Very well thought out design. It's just sexy to look at in person!

It has an adjustable balanced valve and to my surprise a self-retracting probe design for extremely efficient airflow. I don't have much .35 ammo, but I tested it with 68gn Griffin HP-DB slugs (1179FPS), 81gn JSBs (1150FPS), and 117gn cast ammo 1033FPS) from Hunter's Supply and it's a beast. Definitely sufficient for hogs, coyotes, and probably deer with heavier ammo.

This is NOT a toy pellet gun! It's more like a firearm in power. I'd keep it, but I already have my bases covered and with a stockpile of lead in other calibers.

It's in excellent condition, just some minors marks on the rail that I can touch up with BC Aluminum Black. No magazine included, but I can link you to them for purchase through a dealer who has them in stock.

Barrel is excellent. It uses a real tensioning system that's solid!

Stock is AWESOME! It's two-axis adjustable (pad goes up/down and it can extend or retract). The factory moderator baffles are aluminum (not the fragile 3DP that breaks on a second shot like the EVOLs).

What a difference a bit of bling makes...

Being average size (5 '11", 180 pounds) I'm lucky that most "standard" rifle stocks fit me pretty well and rarely require modifications.

But I have large hands and while the stock on Crown was comfortable to shoot the grip was about 3/8" short for carrying one handed.

I needed to add a piece of walnut to extend the grip and decided on a whim to insert a white accent to dress up the rather plain looking stock. It looked so good that I added a white shim to the butt pad as well.

What a difference a bit of bling makes 😁

Too hot and windy to shoot so I thought I'd share a picture.

Cheers!

I Was Asked…

I was in the shade of a huge valley oak enjoying a nice breakfast burrito, my tailgate was down with my AA S410 on it. I had been hunting a property for ground squirrels for a farmer friend. It feels like I’ve gone back about fifty years out here. Maybe 8 cars went by in 4 hours…no leaf blowers blaring, no traffic noise, houses spaced miles apart, a river nearby…the perfect place for an old farmboy. A pick up truck came by, saw me, and pulled over to ask if I was doing vermin control. Then he asked how much I charge. I gave a giggle because he had it backwards. I should be paying for the privilege of hunting their property. The upshot, I got permission to shoot on another property! Life is good.

AIR Venturi 4500 Snowing in water reservoir

I'm assuming what is some sort of algae bloom is floating and swirling in the water container and must be clogging the radiator as every time I run it now the temperatures keep rising have flushed several times with distilled water but continues to get worse is there anything that is safe to flush system with and try to get back to a normal operating temp....any shared experience or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

  • Question
Carbon fiber tank question

I own an inexpensive but functional and convenient $160 compressor from Amazon (https://a.co/d/8sHtOTR). I use it to fill my PCP rifles at my gun club. It’s LOUD even though it is a gun club and folks are shooting some loud rounds! I now see, however, what an advantage a carbon fiber fill tank would offer. I will study the issue so as to get other questions answered on my own but for now I would welcome responses to one question, please:

Can these modest compressors fill an Air Venturi tank without overheating or breaking due to the amount of air the tanks require? Or are professional sources - like “scuba shops” - really the only safe way to fill them? Thanks.
