I shoot CPHP at about 1.5 cents each. Also JSB's 25 grains at about 4.5 cents each. But what is the cost per round for compressed air?

Obviously that cost is going to vary depending on the equipment you use to compress air and the FPS you're sending down range.

Here's a quick example for my AEA HP Carbine in .25 cal.


The fill calculator says I can re-fill my AEA from my 97cu great white tank about 18 times. I get about 40 shots per fill and it takes 30 mins to refill the great white with my YH compressor.

Lets say I get 100 hours out of the YH before it needs replacing. That's 200 fills or 200x18x40 = 144,000 shots. Assuming the cost of $300 for your YH and that's $300/144,000 = $0.0021 (2/10th of one cent per round). Of course that does not factor in electricity or compressor oil etc. Maybe you also get 200-300 hours out of a YH, so the cost is way less.

So in conclusion, even for a medium power round of about 35-40fpe, and using a cheap crappy disposable compressor, the cost is insignificant when compared to the cost of pellets.

Ok guys, so I sold my last 25cal airgun yesterday, and now have to fill the void.
for a little information, I primarily use my guns for woods walking, backyard petting, and shooting from my truck. The gun that filled this position before was a leshiy 2 25cal.
so what’s next? I’m not much of a bull pup guy (not a fan of the ping in my ear), and I really like carbines. If evol made a 25caliber, I wouldn’t be asking this question.
so my criteria are basically 25 caliber, decently rugged, Removsble magazine, compact or foldable for transport, decent power, but nothing crazy. The largest game I will take with it is coyote inside of 50yds.

so far I’ve looked at the panthera hunter with folding stock. I like it’s ability to tune up and down for certain opportunities. It also seems to have a more rugged build and barrel setup.

any other recommendations from the masses?

This gun is so nice and I even feel if you bought one new it's a extremely good value.

IS it conveniently possible to tune on a hunt for different animals ? Say you are shooting .22 cal for Squirrel ,along comes the opportunity to shoot that chicken stealing fox .
Can this "on the run" tune be done and a change in pellet for new target larger animal ?

One of the rifles I don’t have in my collection is a Delta Wolf. I am starting to see some used ones show up.

There really haven’t been many posts about these rifles considering how long they have been out now.

For those that own one in .22 or .25, I would appreciate the “real” scoop; the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I trying to decide if my next collection piece will be a Skout (when released in .22or .25) or Delta Wolf. Photos of real groups at ranges of 75 to 150 yards in distance will be appreciated.

Any operational or electronic issues? Battery life, etc?

Thanks.

As per the post title. Right now I've got duct seal spread on the back wall and it definetly helps, but it's a PITA for a variety of reasons, and once a spot is shot up it doesn't help.

I definetly think filling the rear external chase with some material would help.

I'd replace the duct seal with some of that self healing rubber used in indoor ranges, but I'm concerned about bounce back with a low power airgun.

Anyone have any bright ideas?

I Got a chance to shoot at a friend's property today.
I had not been there before, but he had told me it would be OK to shoot & that they hunted Axis deer there often.

I was not prepared for how beautiful it was.

The gun shot well with the majority of the slugs I was shooting.
I spent the day working my way through a dozen or so types & weights.
The standouts were from 54 to 65gn.
NSA 54.5 @ 980ish
61.5 and 65.5 Traveling around 900 & 860fps.
And the H&N hp 54gn going 980-990.
Uragan 2- 300bar- 700cc CF tank-
Reg @ 190

I often get stressed out with the world and caught up in life in general -

Not today.

I bought a ton of these when they were on sale sometime last year and out of all my .22's, I've yet to find one that 'likes' the .22 H&N Baracuda Hunter Extremes. I was curious if anyone out there has a rifle that likes them. If so, what speeds are you shooting them?
Thanks.

I had a few hours I could take, so headed down to the former dairy. It was raining on and off. The action was light, not many birds about. I shot ten today, the two sparrows and one starling at 30 yards. The remaining seven from the horizontal members in that high barn (54 yards). After my first two at 54 yards, I went up to recover the bodies. But the loft was sketchy, I felted like I could fall through. I took the picture of the two and headed back down. Set up again, 2.5 MILs of holdover and took five more! But, I wasn’t going back up there. I also missed at least five shots on sparrows and starlings. And wasn’t fast enough at least as many times to set up the shot in other instances. The Atomic XR was as usual, sweet, sweet, sweet. I typically keep my shots on sparrows and starlings sub 40 yards. But the Atomic has proven to be consistently accurate out to 50-64 yards. Enough for said critters, so going forward, I’ll will stretch it out just a little.

Can I get some help identifying this air rifle. I want to buy it from a friend but we do not know its value. Could someone help me figure out what it is worth.
It looks complete but it does not shoot.

Hi. Just found this site. Blew my shoulders and had to sell all my archery stuff. At nearly 67 I found myself hankering for a new hobby. Voila!!! I have been looking at a Gamo Raptor in .177 for plinking and light hunting(squirrels, etc.,.). I am looking for general input, for example...I was thinking a heads up red dot for the Raptor. Good idea or not? ....and things like does anyone make a pellet tuning kit so you can find out what works best before investing in umpteen cases of "pellet brand x?"
Thanks, and look forward to chatting.

why people spend big bucks for some top tier guns. I've been shooting air guns for over 60 years and pcp's for about the last 5 years. My pcp's have been what I guess you would call low to mid level guns (Benjamin Cayden, Akela, Marauder, Disco, DAR). I recently decided to get a better quality gun and after some research decided on a RAW HMS1000 (actually got 2, 1 in 0.22 and 1 in 0.25). All I can say is WOW! The trigger and accuracy is amazing. I'm not a good shot and I can still get 1/4" 5 shot groups at 50 yards! Plus I like the fact that the guns are made here in the USA! The next question is do I dare go down the rabbit hole of expensive scopes? None of my scopes were over $150, most under $100.

I replaced the Oem barrel on my Kral Bighorn it was a 18 inch dechoked barrel. My TJ is 28 inches. The kral’s 18 inch barrel was shooting 44.5 grain bullets at a one shot high of 940 fps, but ranged down around 910-920 fps.

The Kral Bighorn has Troys tune .24 tp and the hammer altered to use Bulldog springs and the valve return spring removed. I am using a heavier Pitbull spring and the 3625 psi tank has been replaced with a 4500 psi .5L cf tank.

After the barrel change the first string was after turning the hammer spring out two turns, 1021,1049, 1030, 1035,1023,997,997,943,917. Starting pressure from a .5l 4500 psi tank was 4200 psi, ending pressure is 3300 psi. The first 7 shots are not too bad, but it drops off fast. 9 shots averaged 1001 fp/99 foe.


The second string was shot after two more turns out on the hammer spring.
929,997,989,981,987,987,980,1009,998,975. Starting pressure 4200 psi ending pressure 3500 psi. This string shows a bathtub string clearly. Average velocity 983//95.5 fpe.

I had planned on returning the VRs, but not so sure now. I might try turning the hammer spring back in for the next string.

Last Friday my lady received a brand new Wildcat MK3 BT in .22 cal. We shot 3 mags through it on the fill that it arrived with, filled it up to 300bar and left it. The next morning the bottle was maybe half full and I could hear a slight hiss coming from the front/bottle reg. After removing the bottle and stock as well as mixing up some soapy solution, I screwed the bottle back on. What was a hiss became a pretty heavy whistle around the reg adjusting screw. The sales company was quick to send out a new reg o-ring kit and I carefully replaced all 6 o-rings last night, filled it up to 295bar and left it again. This morning it was down to 160bar with that same slight hiss coming from the front reg. Same steps as before, remove bottle and stock and prepare to spray soapy water on the area. When I screwed the bottle on, heavy whistle once again. I degassed the gun and removed the reg adjusting screw to find the top o-ring a little chewed up. I used a combo of plastic picks and tweezers to remove the o-rings, so I'm pretty positive that I didn't scratch anything on the reg. Have you guys ran into this before?
Note the hairy o-ring. I'm hoping that the sales company sends a reg this time.
