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 .

Bowling Green KY .

Rock Squirrel 40 yards
Notos (stock) 15.89grain @ 756 fps / 20 ft lbs

Not sure what happened exactly, wish I had zoomed in more so I could have seen better what happened but I think the
pellet may have glanced off his head because at impact he shut down immediately, but then got up and scrambled back up to his den pretty quickly.

I climbed up to retrieve him but couldn't see him in his den, but there was small blood trail.

I hate when I can't retrieve something I shot but happens I guess. From now on I'm gonna save the Notos for backyard plinking and use the 30 cal Vulcan 3 when I'm out, these rock squirrels are tough and if they don't drop dead immediately they go back in their holes.

I know at 50 yards my stock Notos with 15.89 grains is only carrying about 11 or 12 ft lbs. so kinda weak for more than back yard plinking and varmints under 20 yards.

So what do you think? Did he survive with a serious headache or did he crawl home and die.

CANADIANS ONLY

I recently purchased this rifle from one of our forum members but my finances just can’t support my airgun sickness. It’s in great condition, comes in the factory box , two magazines , all the AAA tools, a spare regulator and a literal pile of good quality o rings. I’m asking 3000$ CAD plus shipping firm. No trades . This is for certain the only one in Canada. It’s presently tuned to shoot the 25.4 grain JSB redesigned monsters at 940 FPS. No scope or bipod included. I have several unopened tins of its preferred JSB ( original ) redesign pellets for sale also, for 25$ CAD each , I’ll only sell them with the rifle at this time

Here’s my HW100 kt .22 on my last hunting trip “

Hawke Airmax 3-9-40 scope with adjustable objective. Great scope but I am selling the gun I had it on. $199 shipped CONUS

I recently acquired a few guns from a relative andMy knowledge of air guns is minimal so I could use a little help. I know it's an R1 but how can I find out its age and value? Is the scope original and does it add to its value? Lastly if I decide to sell what would be the best way to go about that? Thanks in advance for any information you can provide

I'm shooting my Avenger. 25cal at a 30 yard distance. I'm using some NSA 38.5 slugs. I was wondering what a good reg and hammer combo works best for you. I know all guns are different but I just need a good baseline to start with.
Would a lighter slug shoot better?

Finally bought a PCP. I am really excited about geting it. A new airgun experience for an old airgunner. I hope the .25 cal "AIRFORCE" CONDOR SS MODEL R1212 PELLET RIFLE is as good as the reviews claim. I like that it is made in the USA.

I saw a .30 cal barrel for the gun. I did not really understand about the caliber limitations. Can a .45 barrel be fitted to this model? Or just the .30? I am sure the 25 cal will kill the groundhog digging up my backyard.

I read the 24 inch barrel that's baffled 25 is backyard friendly. Anyone AN members using this setup near neighbors?

Anyone find a good quality, accurate non-lead .177 pellet?

Has anyone figured out how to convert a new model Marauder to be bottle filled?

Or to add a bottle to the Marauder?

Hey guys!

Fresh off of the weekend at the Ashland Oregon benchrest, EFT and long-range shoot.

I did not do extremely well on benchrest, took 7th overall in EFT, but I was able to secure a win in the long range competition.

Targets were placed at 140, 167, 187, 249 and 298 yards. With the farthest target being 60 MOA of adjustment you can say it was quite a poke.

As always I like to bring my neighbor with me to events and he was my spotter.

The gun I chose to use was my RAW HM1000X in .25 caliber fitted with an Athlon Midas Tac 5-30x56 and my moderator.

Over the past few weeks I have been doing extensive r&d and playing with designs that got my RAWs power up, while maintaining a reasonable regulator pressure, increasing efficiency, shortening lock time and reducing muzzle report.


At 150 bar I am able to shoot the Altaros smooth 49.5gr slugs at 905-910fps. I can increase reg pressure to reach 100 FPE but prefer the 150 set point.

The gun is extraordinarily docile, makes power extremely easily and clearly does its job at hitting the target!

With the tune that I am performing I'm able to maintain the original 60 FPE+ power level at a much lower regulator set point giving an additional 1 to 2 magazines per fill.

Big shout out to RAW, and Athlon optics for making quality equipment that helped me be successful at this event!

Some more info:
Max power achieved in each caliber I have tested, and power recommended per caliber. This is with the plenum installed.

.22 max 80fpe, recommended 74fpe
.25 max 102fpe, recommend 90fpe
.30 max 122fpe, recommend 110fpe max

The recommended max is keeping the regulator in the factory setpoint of 150 + or - 5 bar.

Need to do shooting today.

Vintage model Beeman R9 made in Huntington Beach. This is a super nice airgun and of higher quality than the current models. Has a super nice stock and has been tuned by a ver reputable tuner wiht a Vortex spring and seal installed. Triger is super crisp and breaks at about 12 ounces. Very accurate and will shoot nickel or dime sized groups at 30 yards (have not tested it in a while.). Includes a derlin muzzle break. This model is not drilled for sights which makes it look cleaner. Super smooth, powerful and accurate. $500 plus shipping.

I don't care for PM system so if you prefer you can email me directly: [email protected]

thanks
Matt

I am putting together a pcp for my neighbor for squirrels. Here's what I think he would want.
Distance to targets is 20-24 yards)
SFP
4-12-40 ( 40mm max)
Regular ole Cross Hair
Non Illuminated
Adjustable Objective ( side focus would be wonderful)
I have Bushnell Banners that would be perfect, IMO, but I don't want to remove from my rifles.
Budget; $125-$185
Thanks

Is optic damage a real thing with springers? Do the mounts work that claim to reduce scope shock?

As the title says (asks), anybody here tried one? Feedback?

Like a Swiss watch in co2!

Anyone have recommendations for a traditional springer for a 10-11 yo? We tried a ruger explorer (youth) but it shoots like a red Ryder, maybe I have a bad one? Want to teach basic marksmanship, targets in backyard. Thanks!

Looking for a RAW .30 for my neighbor….

Not picky on stock or chassis etc.

PayPal for pmt.

Thanks

Lowering the price on this for Memorial Day weekend-
I have a 600mm .25 bronze M3. 580cc bottle, superior liner CF sleeve, saber extended pic rail under bottle, saber trs upper rail, soft touch cheek riser, angled manometer gauge, MDT soft touch grip. Shoots 33gr pellets at 890fps on current tune. Comes with FX mod and two Orion magazines that function properly. Comes with custom cut high density foam case. Very good condition powerful rifle that is as capable a shooter as you are. $1650 shipped or $1500 with original FX top rail. Scope not included but would possibly be open to including the prism or a different scope I have for extra $

Thinking about PCP BR, no competition just for my own enjoyment of trying to put them all in one hole at 30-75 yards. Have a BR scope, a front rest and rear bags. I considered a Benjerman Challenger as a starter rifle. But they come with expensive sights, and I don't need them, and I find nothing used. I already have a M-Rod Field and Target, is there anything else I should look at? My funds are not unlimited.

Hello all,

I have a FX Impact M4 Compact in .25 with a heavy liner. I'm looking to shoot some Hybrids up to 100 yards. My goal is accuracy, not FPE. From your experience and without me having to use hundreds of Hybrids, what speed is best for the hybrids? It'll be a good target for me as right now I have it tuned for 945 fps. I'm only able to shoot 12 yards, but with the 12 yards, it should be hole on hole, but it's not. Group shot count is not consistent, but no group is hole on hole. My Krait Standard in .22 shooting slugs is hole on hole. See pictures below. Or is the Impact compact just not able to shoot Hybrids? If so I guess I'll be going back to pellets. Last 3 (Bottom right 3) were JSB Hades going at 951 fps, same tune as the Hybrids.

I usually try to get groups very tight at 12 yards before going to the range. Unfortunately, I don't have a place to shoot far.

Congratulations to Luke Sowinski on his win in the 100 yard pellet division! Skout placed 4 in the top 5 at the Competition!
