Hello all first post random question…

I have an Impact M3 compact and I shoot pellets only in .177 and .30 in 500mm with superior stx barrels.

I have first regulator at 155 factory and my second at 110 which I have heard is basically as high as you want to go with the stock hammer. This is my starting point for .30.

Here is the question. I shoot a lot from in my house out to about 25 yards in .177 in my backyard from my kitchen table and have been keeping my second regulator set at 110. I then close the valve to somewhat above the velocity I want for the pellet I’m shooting and then lower hammer tension to dial in the speed. I understand this is prob very lazy however I can literally pound a nail in a board from 25 yards. I am wondering what the disadvantage is to tuning the gun this way?

Anybody ever think about doing this?? I just bought a .177 dreampup off of this website and this thing is loud pushing jsb 10.34s at 840fps.. (best speed I ended up with for accuracy) so I threw a tanto on it.. still kinda loud-ish being that I only have moderators for .25 guns.. so i decided to experiment with the tanto being ita kinda rough looking anyway.. I measured the exit hole to be a little over 8mm.. way too big for the little 4.5mm pellet... So i grabbed a 5/16 drill bit and it fit perfectly in the exit hole which meant I could use a 3/8-16 tap and it will fit perfectly... So I threaded it and made an insert with a 7/32 hole (closest to 5.5mm I had) and 3/8 threads to screw into the moderator.. screwed it all together and it works perfectly... Cut the noise waaaay down.. the whole moderator has the same size hole through it so I'm wondering how much more quieter I would be able to get it if i could size all the holes down . They don't have enough meat for introducing threads into them.. For now I'm happy because I don't have to buy another moderator.. there was absolutely no clipping and the poi didn't change... One hole accurate at my usual 25 yard sparrow spot... Very pleased.. so if you ever wondered, yes you can repurpose those .25/.30 cal Donnys

I have shot from many platforms over the decades blasting away with mostly Firearms. At the range, mostly very solid Concrete Benches and Benches made of Steel, however I do not like the Steel they can become resonate and vibrate too much. I have shot over Pickup Hoods, Branches, Logs you name it. I built a semi-portable shooting bench many moons ago, its seen better days. I have been shooting Pump Pellet Rifles for sometime but, never really needed a portable rest until I got into the PCP arena and wanted precise results.

So, wanting to replace the old relic that had seen-better-days, I decided to build a Portable Shooting Bench. One that was solid, stable and did not require a Hand-Truck to move it from the Pickup to the shooting location. I wanted folding legs and a bench that was large enough to clutter it's top. This specimen is a bit on the husky side but, that is ok because it is very solid and stable.

I had some flat lumber lying around the garage and found a Portable Sawhorse Online with adjustable legs and that folded up into a neat package. I still have some final work, like trim, an oval hole-handle for carrying and some stain for the wood. I took it out the other day to try it out and do a little Photo-Shoot. I was just what I needed.

Oh! The Charging-Tank... does not remain there, only for the photo-effect.

If your interested in the Design and Construction Details, you can contact me.

Enjoy,

Don

I received a inexpensive .177 pump rifle mostly plastic and cost way under a hundred dollars. Here is the positives after spending over 2 hours enjoying the shooting experience.

As received I didn't have to make a sight adjustment for 10 to 12 yards shooting. A real surprise fur sure. The trigger is much better than some higher dollar pumpers, and is really has wonder open sight for my 84 year eyes. Super easy to pump and three to four pumps is just find for 10 to 12 yards targets. The real fun factor for such an low cost gun is super high. In fact I've cant think of a pumper that performed the well out of the box. Another clue is that I ordered the gun from a company not 15 miles from my location. Guess just for fun. Charles

I fear I just made them angry

Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum. I'm from California and my first airgun was a Gamo Big Cat 1400. I bought it years ago and still have it. But now PCPs have caught my eye. So now I'm looking to get my first PCP and have made my way over to the FX Maverick. My first choice was the Air Venturi Avenge X. But I've seen some posts about "buy once cry once" and that sounds smart to me. Can anyone share some experience about why the Maverick would be a good or bad 1st PCP? Or what they would recommend instead? I'm looking for something that is .25. I'll be using it for hunting. And I'd like to work my way into some serious plinking. Basically I want a gun that can grow with me. Beginner friendly, but able to satisfy someone with advanced skills and knowledge.

Edit: as for distances... 50-100 but would like to be able to go farther as skills progress. And with easy access to mods and spare parts

Airguns, why do we love airguns ?

The ease of shooting them, the efficiency, the precision, the underdog factor, the low maintenance ( with firearms I have to clean them every time I shoot ) and last but not least the silence.

I find a lot of parallels with my Electric bike pretty much all mentioned above.

So ? .....so I had this Donny FL sticker and figured it would sit perfectly on the tail of my bike

I just picked up an old Weihrauch HW77K .177. It is shooting around 800 fps with 8.44 grain pellets. Is this about normal for this rifle?

What are the cleanest slugs/slug makers? With the least buildup. Least cleaning.
OR Are they all the same?

Received this last week. Played around with it for three or four hours and just decided it is not for me. I like the simplicity of a traditional scope and spend what precious little time I have shooting instead of messing around trying to be a video editor.

It is in better than new condition in that I will include the micro SD card and 4 lithium batteries I had to purchase.

Not a market on it as I didn't even fire a shot while playing with it.

I have about over $800 invested in it with the SD Card. Will ship it within the continental us for a total of $550 via PayPal F&F.

I have the following pellets for sale. PayPal friends and family is preferred but I’ll also accept a money order or a check with a hold for clearance. Insured shipping is included in the price. U.S. sales, only.

22 caliber JSB Redesigned 25.39 gr Pellets – 6 Tins, 200/tin - $70.00.

Looking to buy the original picatinny rail for the bipod off of a agt Vulcan 3.

When you all are dissembling your airgun and need to clamp down your air tube, what do you use to keep from marring the surface? Same with bottles.
Thanks!

After much experimentation with FX Dreamlines and other Crowns with ho-hum accuracy, I finally got some really promising results with my FX Crown MKII Saber Tactical. I had a .177 600 mm barrel that I tried in another Crown that didn't seem to work well for me, so I put it in the Saber model that I was using for 100 yard shooting in 22 cal. I left the reg setting the same (140) and installed a Huma dual transfer port. I was able to squeeze 1020 fps from JSB 13.4 KO slugs and over 1100 fps with 10.3 slugs. I also tried NSA 12.5 and 15.0 gr slugs. The KO 13.4 gr worked the best when I turned the power wheel from Max to the next lower setting achieving 985 fps. The other slugs were not too good. At 100 yards, methinks this works pretty well for a .177 rifle. I can't wait to try some ZAN 13 grainers too.

Firstly, I know almost nothing in regards to barrel specifications and design. I do understand twist rates and their causal relationship with projectile weight. Now FX uses liners, so we’ll put them aside for this post as I’m curious about cold hammer forged barrels such as BSA and CZ , which I love. Do other barrel makers use different degrees of same procedure? If not, what are some of the other techniques? What are the advantages? I find cold hammer forged barrels generally agreeable with a fair range of different projectiles. So, barrel gurus educate me on differences/advantages of others. LW, TJ, alpha precision, polygonal and so forth. What other techniques used besides cold hammer forged? Many thanks.

I am getting a new Feinwerkbau 800 tomorrow from Champions Choice. They do not have this. I am looking for a Centra front iris that had the square in it that magnifies the 10 meter target. Does anyone know where I can get one? Possibly the cost? Finally I realize they come in different sizes so which one for my rifle? As you can tell I am relatively new to the airgun world. Thank you

I was just wondering how many fouling rounds do you need to shoot to get your gun back in to zero or good for testing

And how many rounds do you clean between the next cleaning

Today was a beautiful sunny day so I took the Ghost outside for some fun, and after shooting pin cones with slugs at 127 meters and pellets at 57 meters I felt that if i don't share some videos with you guys I would be very selfish.

Honestly the BRK Ghost is more accurate than the shooter (if tuned well of course).

Here are two videos -1- at 127 meters shooting .22 JSB KO 25.39gr. slugs and -2- at 57 meters shooting JSB redesigned 25.39gr.

I have this Impact X for sale with an Aztec 5.5-25x50 SFP MOA scope and three magazines. Basically what you see, including the case (not the table underneath though). The rifle currently shoots JSB 18 grain pellets at about 890fps and generates some tight groups. It just hasn't been my go-to rifle so it's probably better that someone else have it. It has been recently resealed and the gauges were replaced with Huma gauges. Originals will be included.

I purchased an air Venturi compressor along with a Taipan Veteran 22 in probably 2018. Health, life and a move for family health reasons they have both sat since 2020. I have filled my rifle a few times in the last couple of weeks. I’m having separate issues with my Thai pan but a fellow member in here I believe has helped me fix it. My compressor, however, stopped working after approximately 30 minutes of runtime it just shut off. It has power has the lights Behind the coolant and compressor switch are still lit. The reset button does nothing. Anyone else experience this? What was your fix? Thank you.
