SHTF : Springer or PCP With Hand Pump? Which would you choose?

I am new to your gun hunting and I was just wanting to know what is the best affordable air compressor The cheaper ones versus the more expensive ones which one is worth it

Please let me know what you think .
Both are 6/24/50 .
One is a element Helix sfp , other is a arkin epl4 ffp .
Im going to put one on a 22 crown the other on a Ruger 10/22 pb used mainly for target .
Thanks Ray

I’m liking this as an option to use up some JSB Kings.
Besides that I want to know who owns NEAG, I’m wondering what else is out there that matches what the Aircuda gives. I personally love that it has a QD FF to fill. I don’t particularly like hand pumping probe fill ups on AG’s.

Didn’t chrono any of these besides the FX 34 gr redesigns at 950fps. Range was 50 yards.
1 28gr H&N slug HP II
2 30gr H&N slug HP II
3 32gr H&N slug HP II
4 34gr H&N slug HP II
5 36gr H&N slug HP II
6 26 gr FX hybrid slug shockingly bad
7 34gr Javelin slug
8 40gr Apolo slug
9 33gr Apolo slug
10 Hades pellet
11 Predator pellet
12 34gr FX redesign pellet

Eyeballing these two as a research project. 22 cal version preferred. Vixen short vs Uragan 2 compact. Primary purpose is plinking / short range pesting if needed. I've owned NEITHER one. Looking for comparative feedback in regards to the basics. Loudness, power adjustability, I am aware the uragan 2 compact is probably stronger with the longer barrel. Reliability and / or durability. Is there really any disparity regarding these 2 platforms? Looks are fine to me for both, no issues there. Preferably folks who have used both, but all feedback, good or bad welcome. thanks.

My first time shooting PCP’s in cold weather, mid to high 30’s. I had the Cayden, Bullboss, Flashpup wood, and a Flaspup synthetic out today. All four in .22 and all are tuned to shoot Crosman HP’s. They all shoot them really well. Except today. Shooting at 40 yds, the only one that did not require a re zero was the Synthetic Pup. It was a laser as usual. I love that little guy. Shoots like that and whisper quiet too( has the eBay 13 stack insert). The woody‘s velocity dropped off seriously, but it is getting a little long in the tooth, so to speak. Cayden shot 1 mill left, 1 mill low, and the Bullboss shot 1/2 mill high and dead center.
Once I got the Cayden zero’ed I decided to crank up the velocity to try some 18gr slugs for the first time. I have the Airgun Revisions tune kit in her, so the hottest I could get was in the 800-820 range For the slugs. This brought the speed with the Crosman’s up to the 940 range. I found it very interesting that both projectiles shot to the same point of impact at that speed and distance.Had I not been so stinking cold I probably could’ve put them hole in hole. It was nearly that as it was. The Cayden continues to amaze me at how well it performs. Now that I know she will shoot slugs like that I can’t wait to stretch her out to 100+. Might be a month or more before that happens though. If it shoots this well out to distance, I’ll try to post some pics.

Haven’t seen a review from Steve in awhile, anyone know what happened to aeac online website, it appears that it is no longer available.

This test was done by a very popular spanish speaking airgun reviewer who owns a airgun store in Chile and also have a youtube channel called Caza 342 that use it to promote all the airguns he sells in his business. For this comparison test he used the same JSB 18 grains pellets in both airguns with the same 875 fps tune, to achieve this number he set the reg of the Avenger to 110 bar and the reg of the FX impact to 70 bar, in this country they call the Avenger bullpup the R-2. He used a range finder to measure the distance before, he start the test. As everyone can see, there is not much difference in accuracy between the two (in my opinion the group of the avenger was better) despite the huge difference in price and the FX been considered one the most accurate airguns of the market.

This post by no mean was done to start a war between the high end airguns vs the budget ones, its only to realized that it is not worth to have to invest so much money on a airgun to shoot at this relatively short range. Durring the test he even need to do two different 5 shots groups with the FX and hide one with his hand, because one of them was awful to make the comparison test more equitable between the two airguns. The two groups of the left side were done with the FX Impact and the single one in the right with the avenger bullpup, he was able to completely cover the Avenger group with a dime.

Noob here, no need to take it easy on me though. So, I'm pretty sure I kinda get how the whole 4500psi tank vs 4500psi gun thing works. I'll get one full fill and then progressively less air from the tank going into the gun with each fill. I just got the Umarex Gauntlet G30, and a Yong Heng.(Again........noob here.) which it says the bottle holds, and I quote "Max Tank Fill of 4,500 psi / 24 cu in". The regulator is at 2800psi, so I imagine I'll be filling from like 3000psi to 4000psi.(ish) Can anyone give me a general idea of exactly how much less you get in each fill? I'm trying to get an idea of exactly how many shots I'd end up getting from a 9L tank. I won't remember a math lesson hahaahahahaha! Just if anybody has anything comparable that they use and would like to share what they're getting that'd be great. Also my Gauntlet is stock. No upgrades yet.

Hello AGN:

I have an extra DonnyFL Sumo 0.25 / 0.22 LDC w/ 1/2 UNFx20 threads that I'm looking to sell. As you probably already know, Donny isn't selling any more of these for the foreseeable future so they're getting to be harder to find for the time being. This Sumo is in mint, like new condition and has been meticulously wrapped in an automotive grade carbon fiber wrap that looks great; even the front vent holes have been carefully pierced on the wrap. The CF wrap can be easily removed without leaving any residue behind if you don't want it). It has a 0.25 endcap so will work with 0.25, 0.22, 0.20 and 0.177 calibers.

Price is $125 shipped

I've got plenty of references here so please feel free to check them on the Member Feedback forum prior to purchasing. Paypal Friends & Family payment is prefered (otherwise, please add 3.5% to cover the fees). Local pickup in the SF Bay Area is available as well.

Thanks!

I am selling my western rattler .357. I bought about a month and a half ago from fox air. The gun functions flawlessly but is not comfortable to me. It has the 700 cc bottle. I have not changed the factory regulator settings and have changed the power settings very little.

I bought it for hunting but it’s just to heavy for my needs. (Scope not included)

5 shot group at 85 yards @915 fps

I've been seeing a squirrel for a couple weeks. I last got one 11/4. I missed it a couple times because I was using one of my bullpup P35s, the shot was close, and I didn't aim far enough above it. One shot was only 13.5 yards away. I decided to switch guns not because the P35s won't work but because making the adjustment for close range with them is not something I am good at. I switched to my Prod. I hadn't shot a squirrel with it for about 2 years. It's scope is a lot closer to the bore so the amount it shoots low at close range is less and it gets to a level I don't have to worry about much sooner. This squirrel was pretty smart - I educated him. He would see me or hear my dog and start running to get across the street to a drainage area. Today I saw him out a side window, as I have before. My dog didn't see him so she wasn't barking. I let him keep going in fits and spurts towards my oaks in the back of my back yard. That let him get to where a miss would go out over the lake. But I didn't miss. He sat still for long enough and I hit him high on the shoulder. Chest was a mess, there was a hole in the opposite shoulder but I did not see the pellet. Might have passed through. Did not hit major bones. He dropped immediately. 16 ounce made. 17.5 yards at an upward 29 degree angle. H&N copper plated FTT launched at about 750 fps. It was raining so I took the pictures inside.

Looking for newer Texan 457 or 50 setup Prefer carbine or sell $1250. 2 mags,stippled grip,fill probe and orig box.

Watched this video yesterday in the hopes of refinishing my Royale, walnut stock. I want a high gloss finish on it. Yes, I'm aware of how popular Tru Oil method is but Joe's method seems a lot less trouble free & results are better than Tru Oil imho. Anybody done this? Please let me know your results. TIA
P.S. I'm NOT an experienced woodworker but am a "jack of all trades".

I’m selling my Kral Arms Puncher Breaker .22, I’ve only shot about a 1000 pellets thru it. I tried tuning it myself but ended up messing up the the valve stem, which is a real cheap fix just haven’t had the time. So it sits on the shelf ready for someone to take care of it and shoot it again. Includes three .22 magazines and a filler probe.

Hello all,

I’m retiring in 2024 and want to get back into air gunning and I would like your opinion. I plan on purchasing a 25 cal. high end bullpup. I will be punching paper mostly as well as varmint hunting with
pellets or slugs. I don’t want a muzzle loader of a gun and want to keep the length between 34-36 inches. The bullpubs on my list are; Uragan 2 600mm, FX Maverick sniper 600mm, Kalibragun Cricket Tactical 60, FX Impact M3 600mm, and BRK Ghost. I hoping to find a gun that will give me great reliability, versatility, not complicated to run and accuracy.
Thank you,
WPM

I’ve ordered a V2 so I am selling this minty V1. $130 TYD

I discovered that my Taipan Veteran Standard was clipping my Sumo. Some research reveals that I likely have an alignment problem. I recently removed the barrel and I’m thinking that I didn’t follow the right procedure in putting everything back together. Any tips or recommendations for ensuring proper alignment? In particular with the six screws holding the air tube, barrel and picattiny; not sure if I need to follow a certain procedure or torque specs.

Umarex ReadyAir Compressor

Reason for Selling: I'm ready to upgrade to something that can fill my range tank.

I am the original owner and this was purchased less than two years ago from AoA. It includes battery leads and jumper cables for in-field use. Also, it includes a service kit.

In case you are wondering, it takes about 15 minutes to fill a 480 bottle that isn't completely empty. It quickly fills FX Panthera 300 bar bottles and EVOL 30 4,500 PSI air tubes.

Local pick up at this time only. I'm located in Gilbert, AZ (South Phoenix).
