Which Sub12 Would You Buy?

I am looking for a .177 sub12 12-10FPE option I sold my dreamtac that was a laser and did great but I need a change and want to try something else. I want quality easy to work on and can be set it and forget it but to be able to up the power on the fly is a bonus. I am thinking the BRK Pathfinder but if you could only choose one what would it be I am open to options. The ranger is on the maybe list but I just like the the idea of 100+ shots.

Don't spend your hard earned $$ on inefficient after-market moderators that don't even fit the gun. Do like me, go get a pipe insulation foam at home depot and cut into slices that fit tightly into the grooves of the baffle. I insist, you have to cut the foam larger than the groove so that they fit really tight.
And the effect is DRAMATIC! It does make the gun backyard friendly! For $5!

FX  Any Starting Numbers I Should Try for my Regulator to shoot a 21gr slug at 950fps and a 25.4gr slug at 960fps?

I have a stock standard FX Maverick and I have been shooting some JSB Knockout 25.39gr slugs at 50 yards. I want to increase the speed on them up to 940-960ish to see if I can get better accuracy out of them. They are currently shooting at 860fps.

I don't know where to start and I don't want to have to spend all day guessing on regulator numbers if someone has a suggestion.

Thank you in advance.

Benjamin  Marauder Modification Questions

I bought a .177 Marauder F&T version last year as sort of a backup/lightweight to complement my FWB P70FT. The Mrod shoots very well but that trigger is kind of ridiculous. I keep meaning to modify it but I still have a couple of questions that I can't find answers to by searching.

1. Do I need to degas the rifle before doing modifications on the trigger group?
2. Does anyone know the size (ID/OD) of the O-ring or stack of washers (ID, washer thickness and number) needed to replace the lawyer spring?

Additionally,
3. Is there some way to reduce the pull force required on the bolt but maintain the current power output?

🟢 A new perspective for BUYING GUNS.... (the next level down the AG rabbit hole! 😵)

🟢 A new perspective for BUYING GUNS.... (the next level down the AG rabbit hole! 😵)

Please, share:
❓ What is a GENERAL PRINCIPLE that guides you when you make gun purchases?



➠ My general principle has recently changed. This is what happened:

🟢 ALLROUND GUNS:
For years I have been at the stage of owning a couple of allround guns that were supposed to do it all: quiet urban pesters, long range slug shooters, and everything in between [now stop laughing at me!!😤].


🟢 SPECIALIST GUNS:
Now
, I think I'm moving to the next phase (yes, "moving to the next phase" is an euphemism to describe the disasterous "falling a couple of stories down the AG rabbit hole" — but let's just keep pretending).

This next phase was introduced by realizing that this hobby is here to stay (and will require a larger financial committment).
And now, instead of buying more allround guns — I'm trying to buy specialized guns (and scopes): Guns (and scopes) that do one thing, and do it really well. A gun/scope for each shooting scenario that I eventually encounter, like:

● Shooting scenarios:
▪ XLR — extreme long range shooting, I'd like to pop baloons at 300y across canyons and lakes in the Peruvian Andes mountains at 17.000ft.
▪ Destroyer of pests — perfect devastation at close & mid range
▪ Mass pigeon pesting 5 to 50y
▪ LRH — long range hunting: glassing & shooting
▪ Close quarters ratter


➠ This makes me look at guns and calibers and scopes that were totally outside of my view, like: .30cal, pistols, semi-automatics, red dot sights, etc.



➧ See you at the next level of the rabbit hole!! 😆

Edgun lelya

Sooo, I have a edgun Lelya, and am finding that it is a little loud on my ear, not ears. Seems like right where the loading chamber is in relation to where you lay your cheek is interesting. I would say it is horrible, but is having my wonder if I should be wearing a single earplug. I would as a chef in highly industrial kitchen, so not shy to noise. Any advise or anyone else have this problem with say the Leshiy or fX impact models?

FX  FX Crown range report

The FX Crown is my upgrade to the Benjamin Marauder that I started with and today was day 1 at the range with the FX.

Am I happy? Oh yeah! I literally laughed after shooting 3 shots into the same hole.

First, I set the velocity. At 25 yards, I went with a 3 on the dial which is about 750-770fps.

Then I zeroed the scope. 6 shots to get it on center. No problem there.

Then, I shot for 30 minutes with an ear-to-ear grin on my face.

Summary: the FX is at least as accurate as my Tikka T1x which is saying something.

New to Airgun Nation

I’m new here, and a little confused. I have been active for the 10 days( can’t seem to actually see where it lists my start date) but do not know why they ask for 10 posts before I can have a little more options. So here I am trying to come up with stuff just for the clearance. Honestly, I don’t see how it will make a difference in safety on deals. Thoughts?

Kalibrgun  Battle of the Titans‼️ plus Hurricane 🌀

I needed to decide which .30 I’m competing with at EBR this year. I have Daddy, my Delta Wolf and Suavè, my .30 Cricket 2 Tac. They both shoot 56gr Zan pellets very good. Daddy wants to be Alpha and Suavè just wants to live life to the fullest with no drama. Today was the day to settle it. Hurricane 🌀, my .25 Uragán - 700, came along to get a workout in as well 😁

5 consecutive 5-shot groups from 100 yards is the challenge. Starting position is on the line!!

Daddy was up first and did well but had a few outliers that opened up his average. He shoots the Zans at 875 fps. He rocks a 28” ART barrel. Power is easy. He can shoot them at 950 fps but accuracy isn’t any better faster so why? He gets harder to handle at bigger power. Results were not bad but Suavè wasn’t impressed 😜

Suavè went to the line and reminded all he’s a lover not a fighter. Today, however, he was provoked and he wouldn’t be taking this nonsense any longer. From the first group I knew Daddy was in trouble. Suavè is a smooth easy shooter even though I’m running a higher reg pressure and have less barrel to work with (23.6”). Shooting the same Zans at 890 fps. Shot these from 840 to 920 with Suavè while testing and he performs the same no matter. No real outliers with this guy.

Daddy ~ Average of 1.175”
Suavè ~ Average of .871”


Hurricane 🌀 stepped up for some shadow boxing and footwork drills. He shoots the 49.5gr Altaros Smooths at 885 fps. He hangs with the best rimfires made! 2 - 5-shot groups later averaged .7” 😳 Now that’s Tenacious!

I’ll be starting Suavè on Bench and EFT. Hurricane 🌀 has the Steel Scramble. Daddy will ride pine for now but he ain’t done!

My final conclusion about shooting PCP's.

What I have seen is that there is a point in which you can have one or twenty super accurate rifles. It doesn't matter, those super accurate rifles will have you behind pulling the trigger. In that particular point all super rifles get even and groups may not close at long distance.

Therefore at some point there's is more gain shooting a rifle that you know and that you can control with confidence, than trying to buy the most accurate rifle in the market. Eventually with that rifle you will be stopped by your skills and the difference with the second or third more accurate will be vanished.

A few groups of Altaros 60gr Queens

I recently got a AGT Vulcan 3 25 caliber from Derrick at Tenacious Airguns. He did his magic with the tuning. If you have any questions on what he did you'd have to call him because I asked him to do his best with it. All I know is I requested him to get close to 100 fpe with 49.5's but I left to his discretion as to where the gun shot best which turned out to be 92 fpe and 916fps ave.

As of yesterday I have a little over 100 slugs through the V3 which have been mostly Altaros 49.5gr. Those shoot the same as the 60gr Queens as far as I can tell with the little shooting I've done.

This one group on the cardboard is 7 shots at 57 yards. The shot on the right I wasn't ready for when it went off because I was still getting used to the 3-4oz trigger.

The other two 5 shot groups on the steel were at 101 yards.

I haven't chrono'd the 60gr Queens yet.

Queens = .245 G1 BC Wow . The gun combo should do well for XFT matches, especially when windy.

Just a quick preliminary test...All the groups were shot off a Harris bipod down prone off a Triad squeeze bag. Small vertical on the one group and considering the poor choice I made(uncomfortable) where I shot from I'm pretty happy with the results.

Smoothbore Barrels

I have recently caught the slug bug and have noticed that if I smooth out the rifling and remove it entirely via abrasive polishing that not only do the slugs travel faster but it seems POI is much more consistent. My theory is that due to low muzzle velocity using slugs that the twist rate is not enough to spin stabilize the slug. Is anyone else using slugs in a smooth bore setup?
