Peanut bandits eating my squirrel food/bait but wasn't sure this was enough power at 20-22 yards for a clean kill. Couldn't risk a wounded one jumping the fence to neighbors yard then croaking...

Anyone know any good silver coloured scope that would go with this hw35

I am new here, I have been reading a lot of posts on here and have been led to this question from them. I am a lifelong avid hunter. I have recently started hunting more small game to fill in between seasons and because it is something I have grown to really enjoy. I started with a 22lr but didn't like shooting at squirrels in trees with a rifle that had the potential to fly long distances. I switched to a 410 shot gun and had good luck but got frustrated wasting what precious meat a squirrel had to all the small pellets. I recently bought a gamo swarm magnum gen3i and have had loads of fun shooting it and I am excited to try it out this next fall to hunt some more small game with. I have been very impressed by the accuracy of this rifle from 10-40 yards very accurate in .22 cal. Now I am hooked and started reading about PCPs and planning to get my toes wet and try one out. From all my reading on here I have been led to believe that the gamo urban or the umarex notos would be great guns for closer range small game hunting. I generally get 50-60 yards or less as I am used to shot gun hunting. I am looking to get into PCP and the biggest things to me are I want something very reliable as I hunt and hike 5-10 miles sometimes when small game hunting. I generally am not making more than 5-10 shots so these small pcp's seem perfect getting around 20ish shots on a tank fill. I also want what would be most accurate in the 60-50 yard or less range. I am also interested in what is the quietest one to help prevent spooking game should I miss. I plan to get whatever option in .22 cal as that seems like the best small game load. I also like these smaller pcps as from reading they are not too much of a hassle to fill with a hand pump before I go and dive headfirst spending 1000s in the hobby incase I don't use it as much as I think. I like the looks of the notos more and the fact it seems small and light for carrying when hiking I am just wondering if the gamo urban is better at that higher end of range in that 50-60yard max for squirrel and rabbit as that is all it would be used on or is the notos just as good. What about reliability are both equally as reliable?

Thank you guys

I have (2) complete sets of hand-built, hand tuned vales that are designed to exceed the performance and durability of the factory Taipan valves. I've stress tested all of my valves at 250bar with a a very heavy (sledgehammer) hammer system, and they're virtually indestructible unlike the factory valves. They're designed slightly different from one another, but the perform identically.

The pins on these are made from grade 5 / 6AL-4V titanium with (Ketron) PEEK sealing poppets. The poppets are leaps and bounds stronger than the weak factory nylon poppets. They are machined to a precision tolerance and shaped by hand for optimal airflow efficiency. The valve bodies are crafted from an industrial 485 marine brass, so they aren't prone to micro scratching like the butter soft brass that the factory valves are made from.

These also include a PEEK valve spring pre-tensioning seat that are designed for the factory valve springs.

Terms:

• $175 shipped CONUS only. Zelle (preferred) or discrete PayPal with fees. Once they're gone, they're gone.

I'll be posting some additional Taipan parts soon, but feel free to message me if you're looking for something specific.

Hey guys, here is a look at all the new AEA Center Punch pellet calibers and weights offered by AEA. This video also shows the JSB compared to the AEA up close to see why the AEA fly better. The AEA Center Punch pellets are manufactured by JSB for AEA. They are more accurate than JSB, FX, or JTS pellets in all the guns I have tried them in so far. Get some! Thanks for watching! -Nate

Looking for purchase advice.
This is strictly about nuisance iguanas in my yard. And it’s not many, at that.
It’s a small yard in a neighborhood development.
Distance to targets is probably 15-20 feet.
What I really want is a pistol that can shoot pointed pellets, and is strong enough to do the job.
I think a rifle might be overkill for my situation, but I’m open to ideas.
I also don’t want to spend too much, as I’m not making a career out of it. I’d like to keep it under $200.

Is this a fantasy, or is it possible?

Selling another favorite of mine… This is comes with the scope, fill probe, two mags and 4 tins of Seneca pellets; 3 of them are full and one is about half full. The rifle works perfectly and aside from a small blemish on the stock seen in the picture, the stock is excellent. It’s a “mechanical semi-auto” or you can cock the rifle with your thumb on the hammer without having to reposition. Really fun either way. I’m including a weirauch moderator also that makes it mouse fart quiet. I have a picture of the entire gun somewhere on this forum I just can’t find it now. Looking at $400 plus shipping with everything lower 48. Not looking for trades at this time. Any questions, let me know!

From Google searches it seems like some people have had this issue. You load a magazine push the lever forward and the pellet get’s sandwiched/smashed causing you grief in trying to remove the mag.

I received my Notos April 27th 2024 about 8pm. I own many pcp rifles. Not sure why I bought the Notos but once you get the bug you keep buying.

The next day, Sunday the 28th of 2024 I opened the box, cleaned the barrel, mounted the stock and mounted my scope. (UTG 3x9 Bug is a bugger to mount nicely)

While the pump was filling the air, I set up my targets. Close range set up. This is going to be a ground squirrel gun at short range. 20-30yrds max.

Guns full, targets set. I loaded the included mag and the 2 additional mags that I purchased from Pyramid with Crossmans. (500 pellets for under $10 w/Amazon next day for the amount I shoot? No brainer.) (Dedicated -(take time off hunts) I re-zero and use good ammo.)

Pull back the loading lever, pay close attention to the little slide notch and insert my first mag into the Notos. Push the lever forward and feel resistance. Pull it back a notch then move it forward and it feels weird. Won’t even close fully.

The next 15-20 minutes, are spent finding everything I need to carefully extract the mag from my new Notos. I get the mag out and find a sheared, mangled pellet. I inspect the mag and can’t find anything wrong. I insert it again. Push the lever forward and…feel resistance. I pull the lever back pull on the mag and it won’t come out again. Spend another 10-15 minutes carefully removing the mag.

At this point, All I can think of is that the mag is bad. I have 2 more brand new ones so lets try those. I tried both. They both jammed on the first try. OK. I know Crossmans are not that favorable of a pellet so I tried the JSB’s. Same deal. 20 minutes later I loaded up the H&N’s. Same Deal. So now I’m a bit furious. Wife‘s gone with the kids and my shooting time has just been limited severely.

I grab the single shot tray that came with the Notos. I load up a Crossman and…Boom. Loaded perfectly and shot well. Happy to finally shoot. I zeroed in my scope and was hitting dead on like what I’m use to.

Now what in the world is going on with these mags? I took the single shot tray and the mags down to my study to look them over. Here at home I don’t have good tools for precise measurements but with my eye I could see that the little metal stopper on the mags was just a tiny little schosch off from where the stopper was on the single shot try. This little metal stopper is actually a part of the housing for the mag. When you slide the mag into the breech, it sits approximately .5-.75mm too far to the right. (The pellet is not centered, it’s too the right)

I re-loaded all 3 brand new magazines with crossmans, (after tearing the mags apart to make sure all the tension settings were proper) I went back out to the range and slid a mag into the Notos. With my trigger finger, I reached up to the mag and ever so slightly applied pressure moving it to the left just a hair (.5-.75mm) while with my left hand sliding the bolt closed. And it closed like butter. I shot, than I repeated the procedure for a full clip. It worked.

I than used the 2 other mags in the same manor and did not have one jam.

So. After an entire Sunday morning in to late afternoon of frustration, The Notos does shoot very well.

I have sent an email to Pyramid. It’s definitely not their fault. Hopefully they can provide me with a new batch of Mags that work.

I guess the reason I wrote this is because I read other people having issues and there was no Resolve.

However, If I cannot get magazines that load properly without finger assistance, I do not want this Notos.

Sorry for the long post. It’s been a long day. Glad I figured out the cause of the problem. Hope Pyramid has a cure for it. Thanks

Update: It’s May 16th. When I first discovered this issue I reached out to Pyramid (where I purchased the Notos) They said, Reach out to UMAREX. I called UMAREX, explained my situation and they said send in your magazines. I sent them in. Meanwhile, I ordered Two 10 red mags from Maple Custom Products. Pyramid contacted me and gave me a refund for my 3 defective magazines. The Maple Magazines arrived a few days later and…I put about 5t00 rounds through my notos without a glitch. Now its May 16th and I get a package from UMAREX. 3 New Magazines, a packing slip and no note or explanation as to why my first 3 mags were duds. I load 4 rnds into the first mag, insert it in my Notos and JAM. I ask my 9yr old to run down to the gun room to grab me a 22LR cleaning kit so I can carefully extract this bent pellet. I remove the brand new UMAREX mag that just arrived, insert a fully loaded Maple Custom Proucts Mag and shot off 5 direct hit shots without a miss.

So. Pissed off, Bent, Frazzeled? The Notos, my Notos is a Tack driver. Stock Single Shot Tray or 10rnd Maple custom Products Magazine. It shoots well.

Maybe my gun has an issue? Really don’t think it does because of how well it shoots Single or with MCP Mags. I would like to also try Carma mags to see if it also works flawlessly with them.

Hard to believe my rifle is the only one out of thousands sold having issues with Factory Mags.

Anyways. Just wanted to keep you guys posted. P.S. I also just ordered 4 more High Capacity mags from Maple because they work.

...is it normal to feel a puff of air from the regulator on your hand when shooting or is ma Ghost aboot to explode...?!?...

...I have actually dared to shoot it a bit...I noticed today...it is shooting nicely...

This is a pre Airforce original from Martin. I added a newer carbon fiber bottle to keep it current.
Shoots JTS 22.07 or JSB 25.39 both equally well.

Happy to facetime for a virtual inspection.
Scope, mounts, and Bipod not included. 1600 1500 1400 1350 1300 split shipping.

PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or cleared personal check.

Does anyone make a single shot tray for a Ghost?

I realize where I’m posting this, but I’m really leaning towards an Impact M3 in .25 or .30cal. I’d like to hear thoughts from you guys that have explored FX rifles and a few others, what are the pros and cons you’ve found between this and your next favorite rifle? I’ve only shot a few impacts and a couple Vulcan 3s.. the impacts can’t seem to be beat in accuracy which is a big deal for me.

I went through the archives on the topic of barrel polishing. Am not interested in methods or claims of greater accuracy vs. Not etc. What I want to know is for those who do it, after polishing, does the smoother shinier bore collect less lead, and require less frequent cleaning?

Selling my .25 Taipan Veteran Long due to redundancy in my collection. It is in "very good" condition. Equipped with Donny FL speed dialer. Also has Donny FL moderator adapter. This is Huma regulated. Also comes with original Taipan regulator and plenum. 2 magazines. The only blem is a dimple (pictured) in the stock. Had great results shooting Hades at 940 fps.
Taipan makes exceptionally fine rifles. Very smooth. Quiet. Powerful.
$975

SOLD!

Hello, I am looking at picking up both the GK1 and K1. Not sure if I want both same cal. Maybe .22 in the Gk1 and .25 in K1. What I find odd is seems like used ones are more than new? Seems like krazycool is the place to buy from unless I am missing something? I am in the U.S.

Received my GK1 from Ares Tactical this week. Great service, fast shipping. My goal for the Huben GK1 was a 13 to 18 fpe pistol with a decent shot count. The pistol has a steady decline in fps even though it is the V3 regulated version. I was hoping to get a flat shot string even if it was only one magazine. I have next week off so I plan on figuring it out. I am filling the pistol to 4k psi with the following results.

What tuning does everyone recommend for the Huben GK1 to get the optimum shot count for plinking?

Is there anything that compares at a better price point? I just can't justify $500+. Used don't seem to exist. Looking for accuracy and trigger, don't need a walnut stock.

Purchased new from Tenacious Airguns, Derrick Wall tuned. Very accurate with 50.15 grain JSB. Excellent condition, the few minor marks shown below.

3 magazines, factory box & TA paperwork, fill probe & o-ring kit included.

$1000 shipped CONUS. PP F&F or USPS money order. Not interested in trades.

Happy to answer any questions you have, or get additional photos.
