Did what I'd never imagined that I would. sold my vet 1 taipans - For vet 2 versions! Yes, once that ADL feature was put in the vet 2's , the die was cast. picked up a standard in 22 and have a 25 tactical version coming any day now. Needed to restock the stable . Now, I'm dying to get the slash but I don't have 6k for all 3 guns. So the slash is set for Feb Ordering.
Now as for the vets, lookin forward to feeling them out. The 22 I've had a bit and it's performance is very similar to it's predecessor with the obviously better cocking lever. Can't complain there! The 25 tactical, I went with the 700mm version. the longer barrel should make it better with power and quieter performance. But we will see.

this came on a PP700SA i got a while ago it has no markings but works a bit better than my ODB . 3.5 inch long x 1.25wide

I have been watching that Sniper scope and about to pull the trigger , Dumped a load of $ on the Notos just need a little more range ,,,,, any pros and cons on this scope .
It looks a lot better than the bug buster,,,,

Selling my Falcon X50.

First off, this is one of the earliest ones in the US, back around 2019 I believe. Because of that it does not have a mark for 16x. So it can't be a Hunter class scope. It can, however, help you win matches in Open and WFTF classes.

I used it to shoot more than a couple perfect scores at various field target matches. When at 50x, it's the best range-by-focus scope I've ever owned.

It has only ever been mounted on PCPs, (never on a springer). And the highest fpe PCP it's ever been on was about a 45fpe .22. 95% of it's life has been on a chill 19fpe gun. Ie it hasn't lived a very hard life.

It is certainly used. And has a few marks that I tried to show in the photos.

It will ship in the original box, double-boxed. And includes the OEM scope shade and the 5.25" scope wheel that it came with. The wheel is already marked for 50x, and I can remove the yardage marks or leave them on, whichever the buyer prefers. It will also include Butler Creek caps. The front scope cap doesn't fit well and doesn't like to stay closed without some coaxing, but it does work to keep the dust off the lenses during a match.

Currently has some UTG lever lock picatinny rings on it (high ones). I can leave or remove, whichever buyer prefers.

It dials true.
It ranges more accurately than my laser rangefinder.
It didn't ever exhibit any scope shift due to heat that I could appreciate, even in hot Arizona.

No functional defects, I'm only selling it because Open class pretty much died at the clubs where I attend matches, and I don't see myself shooting WFTF. I've moved over to Hunter and see myself staying there. So the scope has just been sitting for about two years.

Anyone else have one of these little gems laying around? In my search for a .177 for my abatement work, I lucked into this one and have since been told they are rather rare. Anyone else have one? And if so, how’s she shoot?

GRAPHIC thermal pesting content

My fiancé posted some of her airgun & outdoor hats for sale on Pyramyd! Love to hear constructive feedback or ideas for more.

Pellets? Haven't seen them in months and another member mentioned the same . Has anybody heard anything ?

This is an original Martin built RAW HM1000x .30.

Fitted in a benchrest stock with a lower pic rail attached so can also be used with a traditional bipod.

This is a mid 2017 build (I was told) and functions flawlessly. Gun was resealed and reg has zero creep and holds a 7 FPS spread across 10 shots.

Comes with 3 magazines and single shot tray.

My Dad is turning 80 this year and is just to much gun for him anymore.

Scope, rings, bipod not included.

So today I received a Ghost .25 from AoA and I had to get out and shoot even if it was a little rushed , it felt really good.

I haven't shot a single thing in over 14 months. My range is a little unruly right now as I'm waiting for a new fuel tank for my brush hog so I can groom it. Also the Holey Fridges are still there as soon below




Anyways I went to go setup the rifle with the UTG Goliath and no bueno, it just does not fit, the Goliath and the BRK Ghost are not meant to be in factory trim. I am going to make a post about this and link it here so you can all see what I am talking about .

So I ran back up to my place and got another shooting bag. I really don't like shooting off a front bag , but it is what it is.



There is also now an old camper being stored at the range, as can be seen in the background .



First impressions are, this is a high quality rifle. I will get more into detail the more I use it, I don't feel this is a fair time to give pros or cons since I don't have much seat time behind it.



One thing I can say is, I have big knuckles, the charging handle, while comfortable to rack back, comes down very far and I bump my knuckle on the way in to grab the grip every time. Minor, but worth noting if you're a knuckle dragger lol.



So this rifle is not setup for me, it came with the scope, it came tuned extremely hot, I made no adjustments to the setup except play with the power wheel to get a kind of "OK" tune.



Here is how it started and progressed as I played with the power wheel, this was with 25gr. I got it to a relatively consistent spot and shot at some targets to get a feel, it didn't really like this tune and pellet combo, the reg on this thing is set HOT at 155 bar. The lowest i could get the 25s to go on this tune with the powerwheel on minimum 2 is actually the second chrono string.




Anyways, I then switched to 29 gr and ditched the chronograph and played with the powerwheel till I got accuracy.

Here's an moa or very close to moa 10 shot groups at 50 yards




I know I can do better, but for not having shot in 14 months, rushing this out there, not even setting it up for me, I'll take it! and was very pleased.

Then on the 6th mag of the night I decided to run the KYL. Unfortunately the last little sucker avoided me twice.


All in all I am pumped to be shooting again, when I get back I am going to bring this rifle down to 115 to 120 bar and work from there, this rifle has some oomph behind it.

Now some pics of peri and I

Unless you got lucky and have an outlier, this barrel will shoot the Monsters RDs better @ 100 yards better than your untouched OEM Vet barrel. Expect groups under 2" at 100 yards (in reasonable conditions) from this barrel. And I'll include a tin of .22 Monster RDs for you to verify that.

Barrel came out of a Veteran Long purchased new around 2020. Probably a LW but the typical 12 lands and grooves Taipan barrel.

21.75" long.

Initially it shot very well with .22/18.13 but pretty poorly with .22/25.4 Monster RDs.

About 18 months ago I revisited the barrel, opening up the excessively tight choke a bit and lightly recrowning. After that barrel work it will shoot a good batch of Monster RDs into about 1.75" @ 100 yards and is still very good with the .22/18.13.

From this barrel I have not tried any of the newer JTS offerings, or any of the handful of pellet options in the 20-22grain range.

Fits a .22 Veteran first gen. Swap barrels on a Vet Standard and the extra barrel length is an instant power increase.

$125 shipped. Paypal F&F or check/money order and we wait for it to clear before shipping.

I have a buddy with a Veyron compact SFP and he is looking for something better. He is having trouble seeing the crosshairs and is wanting something that has a thicker reticle. He would like a light weight compact and is willing to go as high as $700-800. What would you suggest out of the scopes you have real world experience with?

Thanks

$400.00 Firm as I am paying for the shipping.

Purchased from a Forum Member to be a project gun. Never got to it as it has been in the safe for 6 months.
Shot good groups with Hades. Will include 5 cans of misc. pellets, free of charge. Some never opened, other just sitting in my cabinets from other PCP's I had.

This rifle is in good complete working order and functions fine. It is in fair shape with rust freckling present on the the metal work, the most being on the barrel and finish loss cocking lever. The stock is solid but has handling marks including scratches and dents.

Air Arms TX 200, I believe it is a 3 generation due to the checking. It has a Spring Kit from the other forum member.

I installed the pretty Brass Cocking handle as it look cool.

Sorry I can't be more helpful as I am a PCP guy and this would have been my first "Spring Gun".

Scope and Rings, NOT INCLUDED.
Sorry, no trades.

Came back from Oregon EFT with a rifle that intrigued me. Typically don't fool with this brand but the design and lay out was speaking PESTING BEAST !!! as trips up north to ground squirrel hunt in open alfalfa fields may save packing air bottles or trips to the truck for more air, so we took the plunge and brought it home to fiddle with / modify etc ...

Did an initial power test at @ 150 then 200 bar ( Unregulated design ) and found it having just modest power shooting a JSB King @ 840 fps for @ 40 fpe. The muzzle noise was LOUD !! and hammer bounce very obvious as well. Starting to see the light we have work to do !!!
So .... onto the bench it goes and soon becomes a pile of parts & pieces. First off the typical Turkish PCP shroud silliness, yea it has a nice big volume shroud over the 15mm barrel, but does NOT contain an air stripper, muzzle set back spacing or any miens for the air exiting muzzle to use the shroud for silencing the bark ... Face palm time

Now with 3 bottles and 1425 cc of air on board the design to tie it into a single delivery at valve was done via small drilled passages on the side by side manifold up front, so passages got opened up there to be freer flowing. Valve gets a seat clean up/re-profiled with the transfer path from barrel down to valve opened up to @ .190" We change out the proprietary oddball fill fitting to "Foster spec SS HUMA fill"
Next up the Trigger mechanics which surprised me as I expected the Evanix style snag sear seen on previous Kral rifles / turkish PCP's. This trigger an actual adjustable sear and drop away hammer holding pawl .... Nice. The actual two parts that make up the SEAR were Hard steel with the remaining link/toggles being cast aluminum. The contact areas of links & toggles smoothed up and sear/s get ceramic stoned to crisp & smooth edge with everything getting heavy moly upon assembly. ( Picture shows configuration assembled on outside of receiver )
* Needed to do this, figure it out as I had failed to take a picture prior to disassembling ... oups.

Barrel gets a lapping / waxing with leade & crown redone. Pushing pellets threw feels a lot better than as delivered. Snug choke tho and spend more effort there lapping to free it up some.

After doing my thing inside it all gets reassembled with fresh o-rings and sealant where required. Over the chrony with exact same settings power has come up @ 40 fps and the hammer bounce is still a problem
Dig threw my stash of springs finding an idea replacement that is a tad stiffer in spring rate and a tad shorter. This works out to now have hammer in Free Flight of about a quarter inch.
Fill back to 150 bar and dry fire a few times ... SNAP !!!! One hammer strike and Zero bounce !!! Over to chrony again and the same King pellet is now sizzling along at 960 fps making 52fpe !!
While muzzle report is still Loud it is telling with no bounce the guns acting far more efficient even with the greater output it is now producing.

Remember this ... Shroud does nothing issue, lets fix that !!!
Making an air stripper that threads onto barrel having 1/2-20 Female/Male ends we lengthen the barrel at muzzle. Then fabricate a Delrin extension to cover the stripper retaining the same Shroud I.D. dimension and extending to reuse the thread on end cap with its 1/2-20 LDC mounting thread. * Barrel length increased by @ 3 inches. Yes it took the sharp crack to a muted sound, tho still in no way back yard friendly, but much better IMO.

Scope is a Optisan / MTC Viper 8-32x56 on Med rings that has objective bell @ 3/32" off the shroud .. it clears but not by much.

** Accuracy and testing is going to wait as I've got weed eating and yard work to do while we have this temprary cool weather spell.

A friend recently bought a Benjamin Kratos from AR. He also purchased a new Donny moderator and the proper adapter to mount the moderator to the Kratos shroud.

He mounted a NIghtforce scope and we went out to the local range to sight-in yesterday. With the moderator installed, it was impossible to sight-in at at any distance. At 100 yards (the backstop), shots were dispersing as much as 6 ft in all directions.

I then removed the shroud and mounted the moderator directly to the barrel, which is properly threaded - no adapter needed. The results were the same.

Without the moderator, the rifle shot 3/4" groups at 50 yards and was easy to sight-in at 100 yards.

We both inspected the moderator. There were no visible sighs of clipping. However, neither of us has any past experience with moderators.

Any thoughts?

Up for sale is a FX Boss .30 Cal PCP Air Rifle. Lost the magazine and has no air in it so might need to be resealed. 700.00 plus shipping. 860 992 2527. In great condition otherwise.

Disregard this post

I just learned today, via Airgun Revisions, that the Benjamin 10.5 match pellets have been discontinued.

Got a .25 HP in on my shipping bench moments ago from Airguns Of Arizona, all I could do was open the case and give it a look and a few pictures, its topped with a forerunner 6-24 Athlon but I surely will be trying both the Midas Tac Gen 2 I got in and the DNT The One on it.

Also can't wait to attach the new from UTG Goliath as I am already pretty impressed with it

Anyways,

I brought in some 25 grain hades, 29 grain domed JTS , and arguably my favorite pellet the 33.95 MK2s.

Id like to see how this thing goes from a pesting standpoint with shot count and accuracy being looked at with the hades, and then see which of the two heavier pellets work best from a bench standpoint.

Anyways, follow along!

These are uncensored targets with the EQ @ 50 yards. Start to finish for the morning, it was probably about 30 minutes shooting time for everything. I wasn't messing around with settings while shooting, or pausing long between shots. The settings were: Hammer 1.5, regulator 2300-2400psi. Ammo was aea 52.2 master slugs. I dont sort the ammo, i use the magazine. The worst looking sheet with 8 groups was aea 50.5 gr pellets( bottom right). I did switch to pellets for a few mags then went back to slugs and knocked out the green paper target. All of the groups were 5 shots. Started top left and worked down. Good luck guys. Next time I will mess with settings and try to dial it in, if that's even possible idk?

Went to town yesterday so i stopped in to Cabela's . ask where pellets were . I was led by a sales person to a lane that was away from the PB gun section (which i thought was great )
Looking for Crossman single die pellets , none . Mater of fact vary few Crossman blister pac;'s mostly Gamo pellets and only Gamo rifles .
