I recently rebuilt a Xisico air rifle 177 caliber with an Air Rifle Headquarters spring. The gun is a Diana 34 clone. After the rebuild there is a lot of barrel flip and the gun turns left at the end of the shot cycle. Okay tuners, tell me how to fix the problems.

I know the not available to the public yet Red Panda took first with a great shooter behind the trigger, what were the next 9 placers shooting?

Wife and I did a lot of RV camping in the past, haven't for about 10 years. Now both are retired and bought a used Artic Fox 27 ft 5th wheel. Plan to camp a lot here in Washington then out of state. With PCP I don't think I have to be concerned about crossing state lines. I have several rifles I'd like to take but space is limited so I need to pick one. I think I'm going to pick my .45 cal B&W S45. It has a folding stock, mags and extremely powerful. I don't necessarily need it for protection but around this neck of the woods on the coast and earthquake can happen any time so I want it for survival as well. Not that that will ever be required but it's fun to plan for.

Looking forward to camping, if that's what you call with a nice trailer instead of a tent up in the mountains. .

Hi guys
I have an Impact mk2 with power plenum.
Right now i have it setup with 600mm .30 barrel and is shooting 44 gr. JSB very well.
I recently bought 600 mm .22 barrel kit with superior and also one extra superior heavy liner.
The problem is that the maximum i can get out of the rifle is around 950 fps with 25 gr jsb knockouts with this 600 mm barrels.
Neither liner likes those 216 size knockouts.
The qustion is which grain and size slugs would you recomend and which liner to use.I know i will have to try a few to find the one my barrel likes but i just don't feel like buying all the slugs in the market.As far as i know .218 is better for Fx but i only had .216 at home and many tins of it.
I am also limited to about 25 gr or a little higher without modifying the rifle.
If there is anyone with similar setup and good results with slugs i would be thankfull for sharing info on which slugs he is using.
Regards Marko

Having owned a Benjamin Kratos .22 PCP for about 18 months now, I thought I'd share my experiences with it...

Some of the reviews of the Kratos on YouTube are quite good, and some of the targets shot at 50 and 100 yards are quite spectacular for a $700 PCP (1/2" at 50 yards). But you will find a mixed bag of reviews on the Kratos on the major airgun retailers' websites, with some claiming their Kratos is a laser, and others saying it can't hit the broad side of a barn. Unfortunately for me, my Kratos fell into the latter category.

After shooting just about every JSB and H&N pellet there is over the past 18 months, I saw the same consistent behavior in my Kratos. Over a 12 shot group at 50 yards, I might have 4 or 5 pellets in a 1/2" single ragged hole, with the rest of the pellets sprayed around the target 2 to 3 inches away, or even worse. Sometimes I would watch the pellets fly over the backing board as much as 18 inches from the target.

Then one day, my Kratos started hissing and losing air...and it was dead. After talking to Benjamin, I ultimately decided to send my Kratos to a 3rd Party authorized Benjamin warranty center called Airgun Revisions. They determined the loss of air was due to a faulty exhaust valve. After replacing the exhaust valve, and then testing my Kratos, they also found the horrible accuracy. So, they tried a new barrel on it. But to their surprise, the new barrel performed just the same, with some pellets flying true, and others flying off in all directions. And this had not been their experience with other Kratos' they had shot in the past.

After further investigation, they determined that my barrel and the other new barrel they tested had a 0.218 to 0.219 bore before the choke. Only the largest head size pellets were catching the rifling. So, they returned my Kratos after having also tuned it and installing a new spring kit. I guess the Kratos has always had very consistent air management for a non-regulated PCP, with mine being no different. When I got it back with the new spring kit and tune, it shot an amazing standard deviation of 3.99 over 79 shots (my chronograph missed a few shots), with an extreme spread of 18 fps. And it did better on accuracy with the H&N Field Target Trophy 5.55 pellets that they had recommended. But I still had some flyers ruining my groups, with those likely being pellets with head sizes slightly under 5.55mm in the tin (they had suggested I start sorting my pellets to find only those pellets with true 5.55 head sizes or larger). And I know serious competitors sort their pellets for defects, head size, weight, etc. But I felt like I would be looking for hen's teeth in anything other than the 5.55 FTT tins, and even with the 5.55 FTT tins, I was going to have to sort.

So, after shooting my Kratos for another week or so, and feeling very restricted on what I could do with it, I went a different route and ordered a new Lothar Walther barrel for it from Airgun Revisions. My hopes are that a new LW barrel will give me a reset for my Kratos and open up the entire field of .22 pellets to shoot and hopefully find an accurate pellet for it. With its excellent air management, and now a 15 oz trigger after their tune, I thought it was worth trying. It certainly couldn't get any worse...lol

I picked this one up at a garage sale today for $200. Came with all the paperwork & Beeman magazine (Fall 1982). Has a Bushnell scope and brass cleaning rod too. I took it home and fired around 20 pellets at a 30yd. target. Cocks very easy & only seeing 400ish fps w/ 7.9g CPHP...
So , did I pay too much? What will it take to make this a shooter at 30-50yds?

So which 1 gives the most return for time invested. Sorting pellets for head-size OR for weight ?

I have been shooting a FX Crown Mark ll (700mm barrel) for a couple of years. I was very impressed with this air rifle and how accurate it was punching five shot groups through near enough the same hole.

My first issue with the gun was the magazines failed to feed. I had to return both my magazines to have their springs adjusted.

My second issue was that the magazine wasn't seating correctly and the probe was obstructed from inserting a pellet into the breach. I removed and tightened the screw in the prob/hammer assembly. The vibration of the rifle had loosened the screw that holds this in place.

I like to use a single shot tray, I got used to single loading due to the issues with my magazines. Therefore, I didn't notice my third and latest issue.

As you may be aware, the magazine sits very high on a Crown Mark ll. I was sold a set of FX No Limits Mounts with the gun and advised that I would need a higher mount by my gun dealer. At first all was well, but then I noticed that the FX vertical adjust was gradually moving down, this stopped the magazine from seating property. This seems to be a recurring issue.

The mounts gradual movement are affecting the point of impact and making holding zero very difficult.

I leveled my rifle, I then leveled the FX mounts and finally leveled the scope to the rifle. This is a procedure I have gone through multiple times with these mounts.

Has anyone else had issues like these with FX No Limits scope mounts? I know that the air rifle community think that these mounts are amazing, but I am less than impressed because they will not hold zero.

I would like to hear if anyone has suggestions to fix this problem. To be honest I am at the point of just purchasing a set of high Sportsmatch mounts. Can anyone please tell me a what size of high Sportsmatch mounts I would need to clear the magazine on my Crown?

Just because you have good chronograph numbers doesn't mean nothing if your gun is not accurate. My rifle has a 500mm barrel . My best numbers with hybrid 22 grain slugs was at 974 fps and spread of 10 fps. 2.9 std. Best group was .685 at 50 yards. Definitely pushing them to fast. Tuned down to 950 and groups are getting better. My number with the monster jsb was best at 935 but not shooting good dropped down to a tune with a worse std and spread and average of 912 fps and shot three groups that are very good for me. Two of them are the best groups at 50 yards with pellets that I have ever shot...you never know!!! Bottom groups for for panthera.

What are you guys doing for staorage or displaying your toys. Do you have custom built stuff or just use a safe? I’m using a safe now but would like to display them more Pics if you have any

I don't know really how to word this and keep it concise. Alot of my free time is at night. So I bought a couple of solar lights that are mainly used for lighting up bushes/landscape/walkway. This set-up is at 25 and or 30 yds. The 1st & biggest issue I encountered was eye fatigue. It really comes on quickly. The next was how cramped the eye box got. The next was HOW much more focus is needed to get those tight groups. It really opens up more challenges in my hobby. I also noticed with my 1 scope that has illuminated reticle that on one of my targets it helps and the other I use I'm better off with it off. My scopes are Hawke AMX so the cross-hairs thin. What do you all think ? Any other night-owls here at AGN.

I know there is a pistol sight but I still prefer this one. Does anyone know what this pistol is? It’s a CO2 bb pistol. It has cool blow back action. Quite accurate. Easy to hit a soda can hard at 25 yards. No markings at all.

Hello everyone!

New member here. Been shooting centerfire and rimfire all my life, but fairly new to airguns in a serious way (but shot Crossman BB and pellet guns as a kid). Started out with a .177 Air Arms TX200 about 2 years ago, then purchased a Benjamin Kratos .22 PCP about 18 months ago. Just shooting benchrest with a friend for bragging rights, but no competition (yet). After a nightmare with my Kratos (more on that latter), I'm now starting to think about a high end PCP, so decided to join Airgun Nation the other day after lurking here for the past year or so...lol

Cheers!

I built this one quite some time ago and never shoot it anymore. Time to let it move on to someone who will enjoy it.

This would be a great gun for someone who is not necessarily a tuner/modder, but enjoys customizing the finish of a gun to their likings. The gun is well tuned, but cosmetically unfinished.

It began life as a Gen 1 Gauntlet .25, one of the very early models that was on preoorder.

The safety lever will ship with the gun, but is not installed in the pics. The gun will likely ship with action removed from stock to shorten the package.

Currently it is tuned for roughly 40 shots of 33.95gr JSB King Heavies at 875-885fps. Switching to 25.39gr Kings with this tune results in 980fps, a bit fast, but still surprisingly accurate. 'The gun has a solid tune, does not leak and is fairly accurate for what it is.

I have never shot other pellets nor slugs, I have no idea how the gun will perform with anything other than JSB Kings and King Heavies.

The stock could use refinishing to the new owner's tastes. Other than that it is a very consistent, reliable gun.

I am including as many pics as I can to show the good bad and ugly of this gun.























The target below was shot this morning at 100 yards. Not cherry picked, this is an example of filling the gun to 3000psi and shooting groups. The gun will consistently produce 1.25-2" groups at 100 yards using JSB King Heavies. That group in the top center, that is 10 shots of 25gr Kings at 980fps, aiming at the center bull.



Everything seen pictured on the gun is what you will receive, plus 1 OEM Gauntlet magazine and the safety lever.

Hello everyone,

I would like to hear from the membership as to their “personal” experience with the following two rifles. If you own one of these rifles now or have owned one in the past and can give me a “true personal review” of the goods and bads, I truly would appreciate it.

1) JTS Airacuda Max .22cal

2) Air Venturi Avenger, Regulated .22cal

Thank you,

Quick review.

The rifle is a complete tank and lives up to all the reviews. The cocking is smooth and solid beyond belief. Trigger is perfect, but that is already a proven fact. What surprised me the most was how quite the stock moderator is. I had every intention of replacing it, but cannot justify that with how well it works. If anything it is a little annoying it works that well. I was thinking Mod 50 or Behemoth, but those plans for a new toy seem to crushed for the moment. It is a little on the heavier side, but this is no surprise as well. I’m sure the fact that there are zero plastic parts/cast on it contributes to that. Shooting .25 at 910fps currently. That was adjusted down for the 1000fps. You really can’t go wrong for the price. Quality is that of a $2800 rifle.

Was just on the site and realized now they are even selling E-bikes

Smart, E-bikes are the future

When I left I didn't realize it would have made things that much harder, I can deal with the inconvinience of quick and convinient money transfers from my side but now I've lost several sales because I didn't realized how much people nowadays just deal with those types, it seems people don't even know anymore how to use USPS money orders or bank cashiers check, some don't even know they exist,

very sad how progress actually makes people significantly more stuck into things being done for them, soon nobody wont even know how to drive because cars will do everything for them, sad.

What I like:

- Total length.- perfect size for a hunting rifle.

- Shots per fill.- the 580 cc bottle in front and the 300 cc bottle in the rear give a lot of shots per fill.

- Capacity of the magazine.- it takes time to refill the magazine but you have many shots before empty the magazine.

- Accuracy.- if you get to control the rifle, it is very accurate.

- Power.- this small rifle has all power you could need for hunting smaller critters than coyotes.

What I do not like at all:

=> THE TRIGGER.- this rifle has a so bad trigger that makes very difficult to get the accuracy and therefore to appreciate the advantages above listed.

PD.- After Nealgl1985 advice in this thread, the trigger feels better!

In excellent condition. 1/2-20 thread. For 22 and 25 cal . $100 shipped PayPal FF for payment. Lower 48 shipping only.
