For sale is a .30 cal 700mm smooth twist x complete barrel and liner that I bought for my gen 1 Impact. It is in excellent shape with typical wear from being removed and installed. That being said, this barrel has less than 10 tins of pellets through it. The complete barrel also comes with the original FX .30 cal magazine, most of a tin of Polymags, and two mostly full tins of JSB exact 44.75 grain pellets. I have shot sub minute groups at 100 yards with this barrel regularly. Make me a reasonable offer. I will only ship to the U.S.

**Also forgive the language, at this point when I remembered I could take video I was having an absolute blast, it was a hot night and things were going right except for my magazine jamming up constantly so I was excited.**

Both my buddy and I are going to work on our video recording (on my scope and my binos he spots with) because we missed so much

Both shots made at 45 yards

First time out with the Impact Compact .177 helping out a local farmer. First rat shot was an instant expire, the second one rolled over behind the cinder blocks. About 50% of the ones I hit rolled right over, the other 50% got that little burst of adrenaline and made it about 5-10 feet then keeled over. I am going to try and show as accurate to real life pesting content as I can when posting pesting videos, not just the "PRIMO" "BEAUTY SHOTS" . Impact Compact MKII .177 equipped with a Sightmark Wraith 2-16x32

Some friends you can go months without seeing and hearing from - then on a whim you drop down the range table and sit with them a spell. My two Steyr’s buddies are like that, a hunting 5 SA and a Pro X 10 SA. The conversation starts simple with weather, wind and rain and choices we've made. Seems like we always address our health issues created by the stress of sitting for so long; but once all that nonsense is out of the way, we start drinking lead from a .22 tin mug. We always start with a big ol fib, a tall tail, like a monster big splatter target pasted to some corrugated board; we know we can't miss, no matter how many time we tell the story it's a good reminder of where we left off. I don’t always trust ol eyes or fingers that itch to remember where the sweet spot is in life, especially through a small window. Once we’ve established we can still see and refrain from jerking around too much, we move on to progressively demanding types of conversations like pill bottles, beer caps and match heads. At some point we pull out the playing cards just to see if we still know what an Ace looks like. At times there is awkward silence after some off target comment, like a flyer coming out of left field - WTH. In the end, when all topics have been completely hit upon and we've pushed the issues of civility farther than we should have, we begin the customary faretheewells and clean up the air gunner crumbs. Always a pleasure to give ol friends a good rubbing, especially if they can stay on topic and i remember not to go against their grain too much. Now remind me, what was it we were talking about?

I have a Airforce Texan 357 that I don't use, it can come with 3 molds and sizer. 700 for everything plus shipping. Gun is in great shape and works as it should. The molds are 358-158gr and 358-124gr . If you want the scope we can work something out. If interested you can text me at 903-348-8735. Thanks for looking

I realized today that there is a ton of things available to the impact to make the impact more suit our shooting style. Like making the impact lighter easier to carry, less impact, and quiet for pest control, larger bottles, smaller bottles, more for bench rest, shooting paper, or another way for hunting larger game.

I would think by now, with the airgun knowledge out there it would be as easy to go online to utahairguns.com, pyramydair.com, or whatever to get a custom fitted Lothar Walther, CZ, TJ or whatever for a impact just like we can get a impact barrel in whatever caliber, length, and type of shooting we do. Right? Says me who has no clue as to what is involved in doing something like this.

Hey guys, Im looking for some real world experience from people who have successfully hunted whitetail with .35 cal, mostly in the 180-200fpe range. Im looking to use my power tuned kalibrgun and nsa 93-110gr slugs. Thanks!!

We'll make this a special late night thread for us insomniacs that are still up at this hour (or those in another time zone).

This is a dangerous time for me because when I can't sleep I get tempted to do on line shopping. Maybe I'll order some air gun stuff on Amazon.

By first time I shot to one of your targets.

What I noticed is that it is very difficult to try to center the reticle in the circle.

I would sugest you to include a cross in the center of the circle. That would allow to have a better reference for knowing where to aim.

I am sure that that visible cross would imply better puntuations keeping the same size of target.

The idea is an hybrid of my target and yours:

Solid solid solid! Mounted a Blackhound on top with good magnification and I am really enjoying the accuracy and performance of the entire platform. Coyotes better find a new hood to roam. The muzzel report is a bit loud for my backyard but a Donnyfl should tame the crack.

I won't go into detail(s) about how I managed to literally RIP the scope base screws right out of the threaded holes in the alloy top-strap of my customized Smith & Wesson 78G, other than stating ape-level strength combined with moron-level intelligence is a bad combination. My first "thought" was I'd completely destroyed the fantastic customized classic.

An early, adjustable trigger variant in excellent condition, I've invested no small amount of time and frustration in not only attaching the scope base, but machining a (slightly longer) replacement barrel for the original barrel that, for who knows why or how, was completely devoid of any rifling whatsoever.

Thankfully the top-strap suffered no damage other than the stripped threads. And thankfully this kind of BONE-HEAD move is why God invented Helicoil thread repair kits... (through a surrogate, of course). And in yet another happy coincidence, thankfully I uncovered the correct Helicoil kit in my mountains of hoarded junk.

Correction- The correct Helicoil kit was located in its proper place among my meticulously inventoried, catalogued, and arranged inventory of gunsmithing parts, tools, and equipment... Right next to File 13.

The aluminum top-strap tapped beautifully to receive the stainless-steel threaded inserts, resulting in a vast improvement over the pre-APEd threaded holes. Re-installation of the mount and scope went just as well.



Despite gale-force gusting winds, of course I couldn't wait to sight her back in. That also went better than could be expected in such improbable conditions. Five consecutive three-shot groups at 25 yards averaged 1.44" c-t-c; the best measured just .60". Not quite as good accuracy as she usually achieves, but entirely forgivable given the hideous winds.

She's back; better than ever!

Scope/rings are not included. Have buying/selling history. $950 shipped. PM me or text 505-688-21 five five. Thanks, rappert

I know there is probably not a one size fits all answer for this but is there a general rule of thumb for velocity gain per psi increase on regulated guns? FWIW I'm working with a huma regulator and 25 caliber marauder.

My first time shooting at one of your targets at 50 mts.

I shot three JSB Hades pellets to each of the circles with the Vulcan 2 25 Cal.

Not so easy to hit in the center !!

Hey Y’all!

Testing the waters with my .25 Marauder. I have three barrels, 2 standard Crosman and on custom made TJ by Mountain Air Customs. Likes Air arms 25 grain and JSB 33gr pellets. The Crosman barrels like the Benjamin Domed pellets, which I’ll include with the sale, think I have 3 or 4 tins. I’ve upgraded to a Hill valve and hammer, so there’s plenty of power on tap if you should want to experiment. There is also a longer shroud to accommodate the longer TJ barrel. Nice, accurate setup with both barrels, just have too many air rifles for the time I have at this point. Will ship with a case, depending on where you live I may ask to split shipping. I’ll also include a Huma regulator and some extra Orings. Tinkerer’s special. Bought new in November and treated well, the TJ barrel is still breaking in but was already producing 1/2” 65 yard groups with the JSB 33gr.

Will entertain offers and trades. No junk here, but a good quality setup with lots of upgrades. I was pursuing a 2/3 magazine 50ft/lb setup and was pretty close. Was most accurate with a Donny FL FX moderator (should does have threaded adapter). Will also include the Hill .25 moderator.
Recapping:

• Hill valve
• Hill hammer
• Hill custom shroud
• TJ 24” barrel
• 2x Crosman barrels
• Huma regulator
• Extra O-rings
• Threaded shroud cap
• Hill moderator
• Benjamin Domed pellets, 3+ tins
• 2 magazines
• Synthetic stock
• Will ship in plastic gun case

Not sure what the market will command for this, but flexible and open to trades. Let me know what you’d pay for this!

Rabbits are running rampant in our neighborhood and looks like with the wife's blessing I may jump away from powder burners to dive a bit back into airgun land...used to shoot 10m paper targets competitively but that was 15+ years so lots of new stuff since then!

Traditional neighborhood on 1/4 acre lots or so, but not in city limits and no county ordinance against air guns so backyard shooting is legal but still trying to keep noise down as much as possible. Most shooting would be done from a mostly concealed patio area and longest backyard shot is realistically 20 yds....maybe 30 if I setup on the 2nd floor out a window at night.

My struggle is I know that when I go down this rabbit hole I'm quickly going to want something with more guts than the .177 that is right for my backyard and task at hand. Should I try and get something that is .22 cal and with enough adjustability and pellet choice can bring that fpe down to sub 20 and up to over 30 or is 2 dedicated rigs a simpler answer? Not many coons, few squirrels and no coyotes that I've seen but rabbits doing their thing like...well rabbits have caused a bumper crop this year.

Will be a PCP and initial budget I'm putting at about $1k but I already have the scuba tank from the prior venture and it was recently recertified so good there.

No preference between used or new but generally more of a buy once, cry once mentality so not looking for entry price point solutions. The backyard gun would benefit from compactness and I've enjoyed bullpup style ones in the past and have been looking at used Taipan or FX Wildcat or a new or used Akela. Several on the classifieds right now are intriguing me. What else should I be looking at in this area? If I went the 2 gun route, I'd probably justify to myself spending more on this one as it'd get greater use and could be used inside for precision paper punching

If I went the 2 gun route, the larger one would probably be a .25 cal in a longer platform, considering the Maruder or similar and would have 0 qualms buying used here as well and would probably prefer used to get more bells and whistles for same budget...what else in the .25 cal size and good to 80 to 100 yds should I learn about? This would primarily be small game/pest control though would like to try some field target matches if I can find some in my area.

So what says ya'll? Is a single gun with tuning or barrel sets feasible here...if so any recommendations? Or do you think separate tools for separate tasks is better and what would be your go to?

I got a chance to shoot at a N50 target at 100 yards, trying Mike’s five shots per bull trying to get them inside the black circle.
Very difficult indeed lol!
There was a very slight breeze from the left.
I circled the bulls that I got five shots at, unfortunately there was a branch with leaves blocking the other bulls so I didn’t shoot a full card.
I have a good bipod coming soon and hopefully that will help me be more steady than a stack of bags.
I was shooting JSB 13.43 knock out slugs on hi power.
I’m hoping to be able to get groups like numbers 7, 23 and the one sighter target on the bottom with more consistency.
I tend to shoot spinners and groups on steel, or small objects at long range, and that kind of shooting session makes me think I’m a better shot than I really am lol.
Shooting informally at different things is a blast, but your misses are forgotten and you just remember the cool hits.
And then you try paper targets and suddenly every single shot shows up no matter how good or bad!
I’m seeing how difficult it is to get consistency at 100 yards in a slight breeze.
And wind like at the RMAC match just seems impossible to me to know how to read.
I’m concentrating on my form and setting up for the shot the same way each time, someday I’ll start to challenge the wind, but for now it’s just such a mystery lol.

I haven't even had this 95 for a week yet and already blew through half of my small stash of JSBs with this thing. With none in stock anywhere I'm bound to start going through withdrawal soon while waiting for Pyramydair to restock them. Pray for me.
