Selling my RTI Prophet 2 Performance compact. .25 cal. Bought it brand new from a dealer back in April of this year (2023), and have put less than a half a tin of JSB pellets through it. It’s an absolutely amazing gun. At under 50 yards, I was getting dime size groups with standard JSB pellets - and I’m an old fella with old eyes.

Unfortunately, the Prophet 2 has been mostly a safe queen for me. Most of my shooting these days is under 50yards and this gun is really begging to be pushed further. I just don’t have the range.

So there you have it: My only reason for selling is that I simply haven’t got the time or the range to shoot it as much as I’d wish. Otherwise, I’d keep it no doubt. Excellent gun in equally excellent condition. Always cleaned and carried in a case (I kept it in a beautiful LBT pack - see photos). Babied not bullied. Even the HUMA moderator has its own padded bag (an old drawstring lens bag).

This Prophet 2 performance compact is in excellent near new condition. All accessories are as young as the gun (April ‘23). Add it all up, you know this is the best deal going on AGN bar none:

Gun: RTI Prophet 2 Performance compact. Carbon bottled version. Still on all factory settings. Never messed with the reg or changed any settings. No leaks, no creep, no wheezing. Chambered in .25 cal.

Scope: USO OPTICS TS-12x MHR (Mil Hunting Reticle) FFP
Has 3-12x magnification 30mm tube

Scope Rings: Seekins Precision. Made in the USA.

Bipod: Genuine ATLAS (not a knockoff, the real deal). Made in the USA.

Moderator: HUMA MOD50 (the compact Prophet 2 has a bit of bark, this mod really calms it down to be backyard, even front yard, friendly).

Bag: London Bridge Trading SBR pack (fits the Prophet compact like a glove). Quality made right here in the USA.

Extras: 2 new sets of spare O-rings (for the complete gun), 4 RTI .25cal magazines in total.

Also included (but not pictured) the original RTI hard case that the prophet came in. It’s a padded hard case, great for carrying the gun, but too small to fit it with the scope and moderator attached.
Im asking $2100 for this entire setup. That’s a savings of over $1000. What you see is what you get.
Look, I get it - my setup may not be your dream setup, so if you want JUST the gun and 1 magazine (shipped in the original hard case): $1200. Again, that’s for JUST the prophet compact and 1 magazine in the original hard case. (No scope, no scope rings, no bipod, no moderator, no extra mags, no LBT bag). Still a bargain for a barely used beauty.
My asking price includes shipping anywhere in lower 48. Sorry, not shipping overseas - so don’t bother asking if you’re not in the lower 48. Too much trouble and no way for me to track. Will be shipped unloaded and degassed.

Please, please - no low balls. Let’s not waste each others time. My asking price is more than fair. PayPal friends and family only. I believe I’ve spelled everything out here, but if you’ve got any remaining questions - just ask.

The only question I won’t respond to is: “Is this still available?” If you’re reading this posting - then yes, it’s still for sale!

Thanks for checking out my listing! Aim small… miss small. God bless.

So I had recently sold my FX dreamtac .177 set at 10fpe and was looking for a replacement. As a new owner of a ghost .30 I began to look at the BRK line something I never did and I don't know why I never did sijxe they have some great looking stuff. The build on the brk leave you feeling like you have a well built rigid piece of equipment in your hand with reliability. I narrowed it down to the pathfinder, ranger, or atomic and the pathfinder was high on the list but I didn't have the extra funds so I went with the atomic in .177. When I got it the box was HUGE and when I opened it I saw this nice and compact little work of art. It's my incognito setup so with it being so compact from the start I was okay adding a moderator to it as it would still be way shorter than my dreamtac with a moderator at 40". Well tried a few options and was able to get it to the man that sounds broken type of sound I like and so far very happy with it. Just waiting for a range day to try a few other mods with a buddy @ctshooter. I know a sub12 and my case a 10fpe pcp doesn't appeal to everyone but it serves a purpose of not only being my incognito setup but probably one of my most used setups as it's a 30y and under setup. In my old dreamtac I wasn't even getting a pass through on field mice at 25y. I am really enjoying it and so far it's getting right around 39-45 shots in the little tube which is perfect what what I wanted. The fx atomic pellets and crossman hollow points are showing promise.

Which one would you choose out of the 3 and why.

When I say “extreme heat” I mean 100F and higher. What type of damage can these temperatures pose to a PCP airgun? I have several black airguns and they get hot at shooting table or mounted atop a tripod after being situated in moderate heat (82F - 90F) and sunlight for 20-45 mins or more. Besides perching beneath a tent or shade tree, should I be concerned by the damage that extreme heat can pose to internal PCP components?

Anyone know if this site is legit?

If you print your targets on this color of paper is easier to sight and to see at distance where you hit.

White paper is more aggressive to the eye and make you to loose the target.

Are these available yet?? I'm not sure but obviously very soon.

I'm hoping for a MIL ETR version.

Well, she is dialed in and devastating.



This rifle is a monster. I fine tuned it to fit me , figured out the proper hold for this heavy hitter. Shot a few groups that made laugh maniacly and then shot a 100 yard bench rest card (only have 1 mag right now to so had to load twice in that card) in 5 minutes (maybe lol) out of 30, really need to learn to use the whole clock.

Anyways, unsorted ammo, 855 fps jsb 44.8, (faster isn't always better )

I counted 224 or 228 but I guess if they use a .35 scorer it's a 233 so I'm told.

This thing is a performer and in my hands it's going to do some serious work.

Absolutely in love, the @americanairarmsofficial Evol Paradigm .30 is absolutely fantastic.

Where would I go to get factory FX rifle parts? Would like extra stock mount screws an a spare detente ball for power wheel.

Excellent condition with no blemishes or issues in factory condition, includes new Air Venturi Tune in a Tube air gun lubricant, and a tin and a half of shown JSB pellets. Includes original contents and comes in the original box, includes the open sights. Fully functional and very accurate…zero issues. I added a muzzle brake and carbon barrel sleeve which look very nice, imo, however they can both be removed with zero damage to the barrel.

**Does not include the replacement spring kits and seals seen in the photos**

Logan MK II Professional .22 cal PCP air rifle w/custom work by Alan Zasadny. This is a very rare air rifle, the king in it's day and still very much royalty. This is the deluxe thumbhole stocked model. The stock is walnut. I have had this gun close to 18 years. Got it out of storage in 2021 to shoot it. It would not hold air. So I sent it to the master Alan Zasadny. He had to do a lot of work on the valve and the supporting parts, as well as some other areas of the gun. Has factory soft Logan rifle case. The three magazines come with it. Will be shipped with the action out of the stock and bubbled wrapped and insured. 565.00 shipped

My Hw30s are my favorite. I was having issues with one of them shooting sub part. With a little parts swapping for diagnostic purposes I got them both ironed out. My peep sighted one is my favorite. Not the most complimentary picture but here's me shooting it from a bench, the rifle and page of ten shot groups. The red dots are 3/4" round. I'm pretty happy with that for 28 yards unscoped.

Thanks for looking

I have a swamp cooler under my shooting table, I keep a couple of gallons of water in refrigerator and four two pound ice blocks I put in the water tray, I sometimes also have a ice vest on and a ice bag in my lap, The temp gauge may read 110 degrees under my back porch but I am pretty cool for a while, AS they say its a dry heat so not so bad. There are no flys and bugs out when its this hot, The sparrows get pretty stupid coming in for water and feed, I had to put out dog food for the garackles they don't seem to Like the grain?

In the process of getting a Taipan Veteran .22 Compact heading my way - first PCP. AN gave me the bug and had been following the classifieds & pulled the trigger. I actually didn't expect to go this route of a bullpup but the interest in something different kept drawing me to a Taipan. I need some help on scope and rings. Eyes are not great (age) and typically I'm shooting anywhere up to 100 yards for plinking or pest control. I have asked a few AN members and done some searching ... scopes come up. I have not seen anything on rings but my search kung fu lacks. I want rings that are solid quaility and don't chew up the rail. Here are the scopes I have selected but what rings? On my springers, always liked Sportsmatch, but don't know what would go with the Taipan and these scopes. First focal plane seems to fit what I do ... I'd say most the time will be doing work around 50 yards. Once everything comes together, I'll post a picture of the setup of my first PCP. Illuminated reticles really are not important to me. Appreciate the help & patience, thank you in advance.

SIDE BY SIDE: 30 CAL JSB and 30 CAL JTS​

I have been testing and comparing these two brands of ammo for several weeks and want to share my results with you guys. JSB is one of the leaders in air gun ammo sales. There is a video worth watching that shows their operation. They produce millions of pellets. The vid runs around 49 minutes and if you have not viewed it I highly suggest you take time to learn what an operation they run. Link for the video:




JTS is a new comer to pellet production and making a giant splash in a very short time. I don’t know of a video posted of their production facility, if there is one I would like a link to it . I either read or heard that Bob Sterne (on the GTA and other forums) had input in the development of the 18.2 grain .22 cal ammo and the center of gravity had been relocated. I have not heard if he was working to develop the .30 cal also.

DISCLAIMER: This comparison was shot with a chocked barrel. Your results may be different then this post if shot from an unchoked barrel. Tom, the owner of American Air Arms built the Evol to shoot JSB at around 830-900FPS. Some owners have had success with slugs but it means regulator adjusting and other tweaks.



Test Results and other insight

Price, always a consideration

The last order of JSB from PA was 4 tins. Get 1 free and pay for 3. Use promo code and get 10% off. Add taxes and shipping and total ran 68.38$. 600 pellets at .114Cent per.

Order of 4 tins of JTS were 60.95. The buy 3 get 4th free was available but no promo code, maybe in the future (I hope.) 400 pellets were .15cent per.

Not much difference but it adds up in the long run.



Quality Control

JTS has nailed this! My plan was to weigh all 4 tins once they arrived. The first tin was weighed and 96 were spot on at 45.1 grain. 1 was 45.2, 1 was 45 and 2 were 44.9. I didn’t bother to weigh the other 3 tins.

JSB has been going down in quality for some time now. In the past a spread of 44.2 to 45.3 was a good tin. The last large order of 10 tins (1500 pellets) were off the chart in actual weight. They ran from 43.2-45.9. Why are they labeled as 44.7, there were not very many 44.7 in the total count. The highest concentration were 44.9-45.4. Nod goes to JST for QUALITY

Chrony Numbers

JSB JTS

Avg FPS-890 Avg FPS-904

ES 5.72 ES 8.61

SD 2.14 SD 2.44



Measurements

JTS—Length .375” Head diameter--.3005” Skirt--.305”

JSB—Length .375” Head diameter--.3015” Skirt--.307”

My thoughts on the lower avg speed has to do with head size. I can feel a difference when closing the chambering the JSB. It takes a little extra push to seat. I believe the tighter fit adds a bit more friction and thus the slightly slower FPS.

I hope this is helpful to someone, I will continue to test. I really like the thought of never having to weigh another pellet!

I have attached photos of several groups shot side by side on the same morning. Both were under 1 inch CTC. Also, I placed a 100 yard target used for the GTA NUHC at 125 yards just to see what I could do.

Turned out to be pretty dang good. I plan to share this post on a few other forums so you may see it again somewhere. Thanks for reading my post!

20 ft up in my back yard I see this fatboy hanging out on a limb eating my invasive vines in the back yard.

... I go low.

As the photo below shows, this is how low I set the regulator on my .22 Ghost Carbine. Because the small, almost unreadable Huma gauge is notoriously inaccurate (Come on, BRK/Daystate -- stop cheaping out on parts on these guns for the price you charge for them!) compared to a MUCH bigger gauge on my compressor that gives a more believable reading, it registers around 20 - 25 BAR higher than the segment at which the needle is pointing, so the plenum pressure would be a more realistic 50 BAR or so. Anyway, with a power setting of "5" on the wheel, I'm shooting 14.3-grain CPHPs at 9 FPE (535 FPS) and I get around 320+ shots with an extreme spread of 20 FPS (over the entire 320-shot string) for backyard plinking fun. Anyway, just wanted to share.

common curiosity if your left feed back , Is it really hard to do the same??? Am I Wrong???
should be allowed to delete feedback since some are one way

Is there a source for actual size air rifle silhouette targets set up to hang vs knock over type?

Perhaps not looking in right place, but I have found lots of handing targets of other shapes, but not the actual silhouette targets.

listing my Limited edition huben 2023 K1 in 22 caliber. i bought this one thinking i would use it more but ive shot it on 2 different occasions and never shot it again. the gun looks basically new. it has the donnyFl UNF adapter and the 3d printed loading gate. scope and rings are NOT included. the gun will be double boxed when shipped. priced at $1750 $1725 + shipping cost.

PM me if you want more pictures

So I went to pump my gun and I went to connect the cables one was connected one wasn’t the one that wasn’t hit the bottom of the compressor by on/off switch and made a tiny spark so I shrug it off and connect the other cable and the compressor turns on but the red off button doesn’t come on and I’ll try to push start and it won’t even pump so it’ll turn on but no off light work start light don’t work and buttons doesn’t work someone please help me out
