Would anyone be willing to share first hand experiences around a semi-automatic magazine fed PCP? I am in the market for one and am seeking the wisdom of other members to steer me in the right direction. I would love to hear any pros or cons in relation to your experiences.

My requirements:

• Air cylinder, not a bottle
• Magazine fed, .22
• Works with CPDs or CPHPs
• Accurate to ~40 yards
• FUN!
• “Three magazines” or greater shot count
• Price below $3,000 USD

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

I shoulda played the lottery today . . .

. . . or that starling shouldn't have perched up there.

( I'm off today - burning a vaca day from work - just 'cause - {sigh} crappy weather outside now BUT still . . . better than being at work )

So . . . prior to the weather going south on us, I was out at a relatively new permission that I've gotten at another local dairy kinda near Marathon off of 221. I'd already popped a number of pigeons and starlings and it had gone quiet. I'm hanging out / leaning on some round hay bales using them as a "hide" and also as a rest for the rifle to get steady off of. Waiting, waiting, waiting . . . . watching, looking around . . . nothing. There's a bunch of maggots ( starlings ) out on a telephone pole and pretty far away. I'm bored - I range 'em - 135 yards. Aiy.

I've only got this particular gun ranged to 115 on the elevation turret. "Hmmmmmm . . . . ok - dial it up to 115 and then just . . . . guess on hold over. I'll give it . . . 2. Two mil. Most likely just going to smack wood on the pole and scare 'em all away but . . {shrug shoulders - whatever}. "

Pew!

( ↑↑ This is a little .177 mind you. ( lol - yeah ) Granted shooting 13.43 grain slugs and they're going pretty fast @970 fps. But still - it's a .177 )

"HOLY CRAP - I GOT HIM!!"

My photoshop hack job below of mister maggot sitting at 2 mil on the holdover below. 135 yds. ( cowboy blowing smoke off the end of the barrel . . . lol!! )

↑↑ Above is more or less the same thing I just posted to my facebook feed sans gun info for those of us in here who might be curious. Most of my fb people still think of our airguns as bb guns / toys so I don't bother with specifics there. RTI prophet performance with a .177 priest barrel in it. JSB 13.43g ko's @970 fps - reg a tad over 150.

This topic has been talked about in different posts but I thought it needed it’s own post and should be discussed at further length. I like these little Williams diopter/peep sights. Never cared for the looks of the the earlier models when Williams made them in a gloss finish. Didn’t compliment the rifle. Now they are made in a nice matte black finish and look nice on the gun. On Springers they work great. Fit mostly all different configurations of rails. They keep the guns weight and balance as it was designed, while making a monumental improvement to the original iron sights. The one issue the sight has it does have a tendency to slide rearward without some type of an added stop. On a Weihrauch airgun I always add a BRASS stop screw to the mount. The brass will not disfigure the hole in the receiver over time as a steel one might. The placement of the screw on the sight is very important to function of the safety button on a Weihrauch. Here is a picture of the sight and the screw I installed. When using the most rearward hole in the receiver (which is optimal) the sight base gets very close to the safety button. Picture is not the best on my HW 30 but can be seen. I usually mount the screw on the sight base closer to the slot (you can see in the base) to bring the sight another 1/8 to 3/16 further forward and away from the safety. I did this screw at center (between the front edge of base and slot) before I remembered to get very close to the slot (the little yellow square is the best placement), but it still functions fine but a bit more roomy if it had the extra distance. It’s a quick fix and it’s how the Weihrauch Diopter is designed. Also a picture (compliments of MDriskill) of an extension to the sight allowing for a smaller aperture. This really does add to accuracy. I plan to make an extension and will post the results. Also other members have some great peep sight options. So please post your success stories here.

AA (CZ) 200T .177 For Sale. 400$ shipped. Only to cities and states where legal to ship private person to private person. Excellent condition, lightly used. Very accurate. No box, papers or extra front sight inserts. Scope and rings not included.

I don't like to preorder or backorder anything, especially air rifles, but I am tired of looking for the HW30 I have been searching for and decided to bite the bullet. Any insights or comments on which of the following is more likely to get a Weihrauch/Beeman in stock the soonest? And/or less likely to have any complications arise with the backorder/preorder process?

Hello, I am about to purchase an Impact M3 and want to make sure I get everything I need. What would you guys say are the must have upgrades to complete this setup?

As a newbie to the air pistol world what are you guys using for this application and any EASY mods that help. Working some with a P-rod Talon-P and 1720T now.

AGT make solid, accurate and reliable rifles.

This group of 5 shots was made this morning at 88 yards with my Uragan .22 Cal and JSB 18.14 grain pellets.

The rifle is zeroed at 50 yards. So I need to compensate (not perfect reference in the reticle). That is the reason of variations in vertical axle.

Not perfect, but really good group for hunting purposes:

Hey gang

Just want to post this for all the folks in CA. Thanks to @SacramentoSam I realized fox squirrels are now classified as tree squirrels and has a season. They were specifically spelled out as invasive with no limit nor season before but that changed this year. Here is the news letter and there is only "tree squirrels" under small game section, and tree squirrels includes all tree dwelling squirrels including fox squirrel.

"Four types of tree squirrels are game species in California. The Western gray squirrel and the Douglas squirrel are both native to California while the Eastern fox squirrel and the Eastern gray squirrel have been introduced and not native to the state."



So don't shoot them on public land out of season in CA!

Removed from my S510 when I converted to tactical chassis. Asking $80 shipped

Pic of it when it was on the gun

These wind flags I made are working not too shabby. Both pics of the flags were taken within seconds of eachother and the wind had already switched path.

This paradigm and me were made for eachother it feels.

The card I printed agrees. I shot 4 cards today, the last one shown is the best, the other 3 were all 220s, the last one I finally settled down and took my time, something I'm going to be focusing on more from now on. The adrenaline pumping as I shot the last card was awesome. Now if I can do this on game day , we are really talking.

A few weeks ago I picked up a Webley Raider 10 from the AOA classifieds. The price was low so I knew something had to be wrong with it. Sure enough it was a leaker. No big deal I thought and placed the order.

Got the rifle a few days later and started taking it apart to reseal when I came upon a hurdle I’ve never encountered: An anti-tamper screw. This meant two things: This rifle was built for the sub 12 UK market and the anti tamper screw will need to be drilled out. No biggie. Drilled a small hole into it then used a screw removal bit. With this out of the way I was able to successfully reseal the rifle.

Finally got to shoot it today and oh boy is she accurate! Ragged holes at 25 yards with everything I fed it. The cocking is butter smooth due to the plastic ball bearings on the hammer guide. The trigger is light and predictable. The shot cycle is short and tame. It only shoots at 11.5 fpe and is very quiet due to the shroud having 4” of baffles. Not only does this rifle perform well but I like the traditional look. The walnut stock has nice lines and the finger groove on the forestock provides a secure grip. The blued tube is a nice touch. Shoots like a Daystate Revere, looks like an FX Tarantula

Hey guys just did a quick review video on my tank/range bags I've been using for 2 years now made by none other than himself @Loren , this is honest review/overview with lots of hands on time and what's even better is, made here in the USA.

Take a peak! Like , subscribe, and share! It'll only help a brother out

I will be getting one (177) in about a week or so used. It does’t have a Vortek kit in it, but I want to order one up. The Vortek sight is down so where is a good place to order one up? Also what’s the difference between PG3 and PG4.

Thanks

I recently setup my Daystate 4500 PSI (110v) compressor to start filling my CF tank. After the setup and 5 minute break in, I went ahead and got ready to top off my tank. The tank was at about 200 bar. Following all the directions and the videos before trying, I went ahead and started to open the valve on the air tank after closing the moisture/relief valve and starting the compressor. I opened the valve on the tank slowly. After about 5 seconds I hear a loud bang and the compressor relief valve blew out. Of course I don't have a spare as the unit is brand new! I can't figure out what caused the blow out as the tank was at 200 bar - nothing for the compressor to reach. Must I let the compressor build up pressure to what's left in the tank before opening the tank valve so there is no "rush" of pressure that may have blown the safety valve? Directions and videos sure did not imply this. Please let me know if any of you have had this happen to them. Just so you know bad luck is following me, I had to send my Hill EC-3000 back to air venturi for a faulty motherboard or fill pressure sensor, so I'm out both compressors at the same time!

Had a pretty good run at ft shot 50&49 tied for 9th in class!!

Booze n cigars for me. Besides midget strippers and motorcycles and cars.. Enjoy some things in life. How bout yourself??

I see there is an older thread on this question but maybe opinions are changed now.
Looking for lower priced pcp pistol with hand pump for varmint control such as possum.

Not long range, just needs to be better than my crosman p1322 which has a stated 460 fps.
Im using crosman premier hollow point 14.3 gr.
I literally see them bouncing off prey.
Im not interested in putting more money into the crosman.

FX Dreamline.22 in Saber Tactical Chassis. 20moa scope rail, DonnyFL/FX moderator. 2 FX and 2 Orion magazines and a Carm single shot tray. Hard case. Bought new in February 2021. No issues. Will ship to conus. $1000.00 plus shipping.

So I took my Evol 15 out today after filling it to about 260 bar before going out. The pressure for each shot was set at 2000psi from AoA and I have not fooled with the gun. I go out and wanted to sight in some of the JTS 18.1 gr and see how they did. I normally shoot the JSB 25.39s so I wanted to see how these did. I shot 1 magazine and reloaded and the first shot out of the next magazine was 4" lower. I had an immediate WTF, and shot another and it's an inch lower than the last shot. The 3rd one is 3 inches lower. I go look at the reservoir pressure and it's at 1000 psi! No leaks that I could hear and no extra noise on the shot so I am really stumped as to what is going on. I would easily get 35+ with the 26g JSBs so I was thinking I would get a few more with the 18gr. Anyone out there have a similar problem?

Thanks,
Paul

Hey there,

Would it be possible for a forums moderator to reach out and contact me?

Thank you much.

Hi just received my new Gamo coyote, it came charged and after about 50 shots it needed to be filled.
I connected the supplied hand pump but the gauge on the pump goes to 3000 but the gun will not fill.
I‘m I doing something stupid? I can see any reason
