Hey guys got a question about my new rifle (hatsan 135 qe carnivore .30 cal) been trying to zero my rifle/learn to shoot it right considering I keep hitting high from not holding it right I assume(I have the elevation as low as it goes so not much more I can do about that)? But one thing I've had to do is adjust the windage pretty far to the left to compensate for it shooting to the right a good bit as well, it wasn't until my buddy, at a glance, asked me if it was bent a bit that I really looked at it and confirmed it was curved slightly. I know that a perfectly straight barrel isn't really a thing no matter the barrel quality but I'm curious if this is something I should be worried about in terms of it being a defect or not? I'm starting to get it to hit where I aim, more or less, but still thought I'd get some more experienced opinions and perspectives to broaden my own. Thanks a bunch guys!

So you are thinking about getting your first “high-end” air rifle…?



I thought I’d share with you some of my experience… and advice.


I own FX (Maverick & Dreamline), Daystate, RTI, Benjamin, Umarex, Beeman and Weihrauch rifles.


I have access to a machine shop and have fabricated parts, modified and polished triggers, added regulators, modified hammer springs and valves, polished barrels, bolts, triggers, transfer ports. I’ve stripped and refinished stocks. I’ve made moderators and modified them. I’ve even worked on both hand pumps and compressors. In short, I’ve spent lots of time “tuning” and modifying air rifles… except one.


The one rifle I have not touched is my Daystate Huntsman .22. It is unregulated. It is pretty. It is perfectly balanced. It is short, lightweight and easy to carry. I screwed on a small moderator. That’s it. I have not even adjusted the trigger pull weight (11 ounces). I simply took it out of the box and shot it - always with JSB 15.89g pellets. I’ve had the rifle for a year.


Yesterday, I filled her to 250 bar and fired off 60 shots. Attached are the shot string and picture of the 6 ten-shot groups.


Advice:

If you are going to own one rifle that does everything, this is my recommendation.


Learnings:

You will note that at 40 yards distance (121.16 feet - measured with a green laser accurate within 2 millimeters @ 100 yards), all ten-shot groups fit within a US dime (I pulled one shot) - and I’m just firing off groups, not “super aiming”, lol. Pellets are not weighed - straight from the tin. These 6 groups are typical - I’ve had some outstanding ones in the past - but these are typical of how the gun always shoots.


You will also note that at 40 yards, the point of impact did not change over the 45 fps spread of the unregulated shot string. I didn’t touch the scope or change my point of aim between shots/groups. Notice that PoI did not rise or drop noticeably over the 60 shots at 40 yards.


The Huntsman is only 42” long - WITH the moderator. It has a shrouded barrel and is backyard quiet with a small moderator. It is shooting with 27-28 foot pounds of power. This is enough to shoot any bird, rat, squirrel, rabbit, groundhog or skunk. The nice size, weight and ergonomics make it an easy gun to shoot accurately.


So ask yourself, what is your use case for a pellet gun…? If you need a gun that can put every shot within a dime out to 50 yards - with enough power for small game - with great ergonomics… and that requires NO TUNING - just take it out of the box and shoot it… then the Daystate Huntsman could be your 1st choice.


A key learning for me is that guns with infinite adjustments, multiple regulators and 50+ o-rings offer no real advantage for a typical pellet gun use-case - which is to shoot stuff accurately out to 50 yards. I’ll bet my Huntsman could do pretty well even at 100 yards - if I’m able to do my part.


I don’t work for Daystate, lol. I even own another gun that I believe is more accurate (RTI Prophet Performance). Just offering the benefit of my experience if you are looking for a simple, accurate, reliable higher-end rifle.

Ok total noob question, bear with me. If i fill the tank on my pcp at sea level, and drive to higher elevation, say 6000+ feet elevation. Could that be disastrous for my rifle or me??

I am the original owner and bought from Airguns of Arizona in January 2022.

I added a Huma Shroud and Huma regulator installed by Motorhead. Tuned to just over 11 ft/lb. The stock screw has been changed to a silver color one.

I haven't used this much since Spring 2022. It's just been sitting in its case.

I’m kinda new to PCP but expert enough to realize how much money I’ve spent looking for the perfect rifle and caliber.

# to blaming is YouTube and me not doing my diligence as not all but some YouTubers have an agenda and quotas to meet.

Funny how I started and got on the super powerful and fancy rifles only to get back to the old 22 and 17 caliber and heavy duty indestructible rifles.

If you can start over knowing what you know now what rifle and caliber would you buy and why ?

Thank you

I will keep this brief to avoid political commentary -- you can use a search engine and find the details on your own. But I will say the policy is totally at PayPal's discretion, and if they don't like what you have to say or what you believe, whether that be in real life, on any forum, social media etc., they can "sanction" you. AKA stealing your money.

PayPal has been doing this for ages, freezing accounts and seizing funds, but now it's pretty much official policy.

I am deleting my PayPal account and won't use it as an option for purchase/sale here any longer. I found out recently that the Zelle app works very well and can be set up in a couple minutes. Money right to your bank account, not some PayPal purgatory.

Sales Rules:

• I accept PayPal or Venmo - F&F only. Not my preference but will also do check or MO and ship once cleared.
• CONUS shipping is included in the asking price via UPS Ground. Please allow up to 48 hours for shipping.
• I will go based on PM timestamp.
• Please - no trade offers for this sale.

I have an Air Venturi 4500 compressor, the big one not Nomad, that lasted 5 hours. Of course just out of warranty but I’d still fix it myself cuz cost of shipping. Both cylinders have score lines and pistons are scuffed, rings have lines in them, intake reed valve has crusty rust on it, and low pressure cylinder bore is stained like it had been underwater. I’m big on oil changes so it’s not like I abused it, always ran 3-4 minutes after filling great white. It just started pumping slower and slower until it got really pathetic, more and more oil smell and vapor in the air. Does anyone know where I can get parts? PA is no help. Easy enough to fix if I can get parts.

Picked up a brand new Beeman R7 on Ebay for a total of $302. I think I will "sort of" give it
to my wife as she couldn't cock the RWS 34 that I use to own. What pellets shoot well in
these ? From what I've read the lighter JSB's are the pellet of choice. I have some 7.33 and
7.87 gr to try out. Also have some AA's 7.87gr as well. Probably will scope it but I don't want
a large bulky scope for such a tiny rifle. I'm thinking a 1" tube 4X (maybe 6X) strait power
scope under one foot long. Any suggestions? What about rings ? I'll post some pics and
out of the box chronograph results when I get it.

If so was there packaging sufficient? Always worry about Amazon.

Well today while testing my old herculean strength I managed to snap my liner lock. Can't help but wonder if when I siezed the shroud on I weakened it some how. So now I am down and waiting until Monday to tell FX I need 2 or 3 so I have a back up.

I have anti-sieze on my threads at least now though.

Hi!

I have been thinking a lot about getting an Fx rifle, but I having a hard time to decide which one between these two guns (New Fx wildcat mk3 bt sniper and the Fx impact m3 sniper) to buy. what's difference between these two in range and impact. Can someone advice me on which one should I pick and why? going to buy a .177 caliber.

I just purchased a Caldwell chronograph with the lighting kit. My problem is I have a really hard time getting it to record a 10 shot group, if it registers at all. I get 2-3 registered shots out of 20 shots. I have tried everything I can thank of, bright sun lite, partial cloudy, overcast, middle of the day and late in the evenings. I've used it with the sun shades and the lites on and off, and without the sunshades. I did get a couple of 10 shot groups on a partially cloudy day with the lites in the sunshades on. I do find that it works much better with my slower shooting guns, around 500-550 fps. My Hatsan is shooting(when I can get it to register) at 800-815 fps. I've tried it at different distances in front of the gun with no change in readings. Is the outdoor lighting really that critical to the Caldwell chronographs or am I doing something wrong. Thank you.
